《092》戒、定和慧共同形成了佛教修行的核心。戒，使身体和言语保持清净，而身体则是心的住所，因此，修行是具有戒之道、定之道和慧之道的。就如同一块木头分成三段一样，但实际上却是同样木头。如果我们要抛掉身体和言语来修行，是没有办法的。我们必须和身体及言语一道修行。因此，事实上，戒、定和慧是个一起运作的和谐共同体。

Virtue, concentration, and wisdom together make up the heart of Buddhist practice. Virtue keeps the body and speech intact. And the body is the residence of the mind. So practice has the way of virtue, the way of concentration, and the way of wisdom. It’s like a piece of wood cut into three sections, but it’s really only one log. If we want to throw away body and speech, we cannot. If we want to throw away mind, we cannot. We must practice with the body and the mind. So in truth, virtue, concentration, and wisdom are one harmonious union that work together.
