上人法語
淨土述懷
When seeking to reform a great matter avoid impatience, hoping to achieve the desired result speedily. In such a case, one will have the opposite effect and hinder its progress. It is more appropriate to examine and analyze the situation thoroughly.
On one hand, we should follow the traditional practices temporarily, and on the other hand, we should transform them gradually. If we try to transform something thoroughly and all at once, it will inevitably be opposed by others. This is especially true if we deny them vigorously, or point out their faults. In such a case, those opposing the transformation will react negatively and attack us.

凡大事之創新或改革,切忌躁急,或盼速效,此必遭反撲,阻礙進程。總宜審時度勢,一方面暫時順應舊習,一方面從順應中漸次轉化。
若當下欲求全盤徹底改變,難免有反對之人;尤其若激烈否定對方,或糾舉對方,則對方也會對我鳴鼓而攻之。
Namo Amituofo!
