知而不行，由未真信

慧光和上开示

现代社会冲刺着各种知识，人心在这种生活环境中熏习，要学习佛法，变为更艰难，不易有突破。许多学佛修善的道理，人人皆知，但却极少人能起身力行。这是因为现代人，虽然拥有许多知识，但内心同时变得怯弱、犹豫、无信，对善法的修持无承担力、无勇猛心。《金刚经》云：「若复有人得闻是经，信心清净，则生实相，当知是人，成就第一希有功德。」听闻佛法，有清净的信心，才能生起实相的智慧，获得真正的自在快乐，这样的人是第一难得的。

Knowing something and does not practice it, this is because there is no true faith.

In the modern time, the world is fill with all different kinds of knowledge. People's minds are being permeated and affected by these information in their daily life. Therefore, people who wish to learn and practice the Dharma become more difficult without easy breakthroughs. Although people know many teachings of the Buddha or the teachings of good, but only a few can really put them in practice. This is because people in modern days may have much knowledge but their mind become weak, doubtful and without faith. Thus, there is no valiant determination or power in committing oneself to the practice of good. Like the Diamond Sutra says, “If someone hears this teaching and have pure faith, he will give rise to the wisdom of Truth. You should know that this person has realized the most auspicious and rare virtue.”
