Thera Kairen‘s Words (The Abbot of Santavana Forest Hermitage)三月法語分享： 如果我們真的相信輪回，照理說是不可能造惡的，因為會導致不好的趣向，也由此證明，我們的觀念中其實還是有一些邪見的。 ──寂靜禪林方丈開仁長老開示錄 One who truly believes in rebirth cannot do harm; for every unwholesome deed leads to lower realms. That we still do so shows that wrong view yet dwells within.

Thera Kairen‘s Words (The Abbot of Santavana Forest Hermitage)四月法語分享： 沒有生起過的邪見或惡見，不要認為永遠都不會生，因緣和合下也可能發生，所以要多親近善知識和學會如理思惟，才能常保遠離惡法。 ──寂靜禪林方丈開仁長老開示錄 Do not assume that wrong view not yet arisen will never arise; when conditions gather, delusion may return. Stay close to the good and wise, and practice wise reflection— so the mind remains distant from unwholesome paths.

All actions of body, speech, and mind should be examined through right view — not merely by their outward appearance.

Thera Kairen‘s Words (The Abbot of Santavana Forest Hermitage)六月法語分享： 行住坐臥都可以禪修，每一個念頭都去審察是善法增加還是惡法增加，只要你把心拉回到身上就是正念，安住地審查過程就是正知。 ──寂靜禪林方丈開仁長老開示錄 In walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, one may always dwell in meditation. With each thought that arises, observe— does it nurture the wholesome or the unwholesome? When the mind returns to the body, that is mindfulness; to rest gently in that awareness is clear comprehension.

Thera Kairen‘s Words (The Abbot of Santavana Forest Hermitage)八月法語分享： 要不斷地創造因緣讓自己進步，莫空等待別人的救助，期待機會效果是比較慢的，唯有激發生命短暫的警覺心，才不會錯失人身。 ──寂靜禪林方丈開仁長老開示錄 Keep cultivating the causes for your own growth; do not rely on others for rescue. Waiting for chances brings little progress, but awareness of life’s shortness stirs true diligence.

Thera Kairen‘s Words (The Abbot of Santavana Forest Hermitage)九月法語分享： 學習佛法久了，聽到反省跟慚愧就會慢慢地沒有什麼感覺，甚至於忘失，這些善心倘若不及時喚醒與培養起來，修學的路必然有退無進。 ──寂靜禪林方丈開仁長老開示錄 When the Dhamma is long pursued, the sense of reflection and conscience may grow dim. If these wholesome roots are not awakened and cultivated, the mind will lose its strength in practice— advancing no more, but falling away.
