Everyone is constantly looking everywhere for wisdom. But wisdom actually resides in your mind.
The moment you get your thoughtsstraight, you already possess wisdom. The moment you feel troubled, your wisdom is lost.
In practising Buddhism, clinging pointlessly to something harms not only your wisdom, but also your wisdom-life.
Those who seek doggedly to decipher some Buddhist doctrine or theory to understand them have yet to truly awaken.
The Buddha said:
When spending time on unnecessary efforts to figure out some problems, you risk losing your wisdom and your fortune.
The world is impermanent. When arguing pointlessly about Buddhist topics, your wisdom is wearing thin.
When others are boldly talking, only by remaining silent will you be able to contemplate.
While being adamant about your argument’s thrust, the value of wisdom will be lost in your mind.
每个人每天都在找智慧，
其实智慧就在你的心中。
当你想通的时候，
你就是有智慧；
当你想不通的时候，
你就丧失了智慧。
在学佛中，毫无益处地执着，
不但伤害你的智慧，
更会伤害你的慧命。
追究于一些佛法佛理，
执着地想去理解它，
就是还没有真正地开悟。
佛说：
当你去做一些没有必要的付出，
并想理解其中问题的时候，
你可能因为你的时间，
会丧失你的智慧和幸运。
世界无常，当你在辩论一些
毫无意义的佛学问题时，
你的智慧正在流失。
对别人的夸夸其谈，
只有当你不回答的时候，
你才会思考；
而当你自己在执着和辩论的时候，
你会失去智慧在你心中的价值。
