《192》你必须亲身去体验「法」。所谓的亲身体验是去身体力行。在于道上，你只能依赖老师百分之五十。纵使我给你们的教导值得听，可是它本身都是毫无意义的。但是，如果因为是我说的，所以你就全盘相信，你便是没有正确地实践我所教的；如果你全然相信，那么你就不明智了。我们必须去听闻教导、明了其利益、亲自去身体力行、由你的内心亲自去体会，这才是大有用处。

You must know the Dhamma for yourself. To know for yourself means to practice for yourself. You can depend on a teacher only fifty percent of the way. Even the teaching I have given you is completely useless in itself, even if it is worth hearing. But if you were to believe it all just because I said so, you wouldn’t be using the teaching properly. If you believed me completely, then you’d be foolish. To hear the teaching, see its benefits, put it into practice for yourself, see it within yourself … this is much more useful.
