各位讀者，大家吉祥！Greeting everyone!
木有本，水有源，樹木所以能生長，必定是根木厚實；水流能暢通，必然是有涓涓不息的水源。說到「根本」，所有的植物一定要有土壤才能生存，青石版上，長不出稻穀；柏油路上也不能長出米麥，必定要在大地泥土，才會青草如茵，花朵如織，所以保護大地泥土，也就是對萬物的尊重。
Trees can grow with wood as base, water as source, is must be a great fundamental. Water can flow smoothly must have non-stop trickling sluggish source. Talk about “Basic”, all the plant must have soil to live. The unhusked rice can not grow on the moss. The rice and wheat also can not grow on asphalt road, must grow on the ground so can the plant can grow very well to protect the earth, also respect to all living beings.
人也有根本，這個人很有善根，那個人很有資本；社會上的一切，能存在於天地者，必定都有其特性、根本。根本固則存，根本動搖則危矣！人生有那些根本呢？
People also have fundamental with great basic and capital. All on the society can live on top must have special character of basic. The firm fundamental can live, and the shake fundamental is dangerous! Life has which fundamental?
一、做人的根本是謙卑：做人「慈悲為本，方便為門」。慈悲要做到「無緣大慈，同體大悲」並不容易；假如能有謙卑的態度，也就能奉行做人的根本之道了。我們吃水果，要熟透了才好吃，香蕉不軟、蘋果不熟，怎麼好吃呢？所以人不是靠強硬而能存在，要靠身段柔軟、態度謙卑才能立身。水果愈是成熟，枝幹垂得愈低；成熟的人生，都是俯視大地，不是翹首天空，所以謙卑的人才能結交到朋友，謙卑才能增加前途的方便.
1. The fundamental of conducting ourselves is humble: Conducted ourselves by “Compassion and convenience as fundamental”. Compassion is not easy to be kind and sorrow for all living beings. If can being humble, also can contribute the fundamental of conducting ourselves. We can have to eat the fruit through it ripe. The banana not soft enough and the apple not ripe, how are we going to eat? So people not to use the hard way to live, we have depend on soft and humble aesthetically. The fruit is ripen, the branch will handing down very low. The mature person is overlook the land, not first flying on the sky, so humble people can made more friends and can have more convenience in the future.
二、處事的根本是柔和：人生存在世間，除了做人，還要處事。做人當然要有做人的根本，處事也要有處事的根本，處事的根本就是柔和。所謂「自古硬弩弦先斷，從來鋼刀口易傷」，我們再看口中的舌頭與牙齒，舌頭是柔軟的，儘管強硬的牙齒都掉光了，舌頭還是存在。所以，一個人如果處事不以柔和為本，凡事強硬蠻幹，失敗自是意料中事。
2. The fundamental of managing is gentle: Life lives in this world, accept conducting ourselves also have to manage. Conducting ourselves naturally have fundamental, managing also have the fundamental, it is being gentle. We can see our tongue and teeth inside our mouth, the hardest teeth will all drop down, but the tongue is still left, so if a person not manage in gentle as base, and work in the hard way, it will fail by ourselves.
三、交友的根本是誠意：人生世間，不能沒有朋友，交朋友的根本之道就是誠意！你有錢，但沒有誠意，我也不要交你這個朋友。朋友要互相誠信，互相體諒，才能互相幫助。所謂「友直、友諒、友多聞」，因為有誠信，朋友之間才有諒解，才有真情，才能相互勉勵。
3. The fundamental of making friend is sincerity: In this world we can not have without friends, sincerity is the fundamental of making friends, You have money, but do not have sincerity, I will not associate with you to be friends. Friends have to be sincerity and understanding so can be helping each other. Between friends have understanding and true heart because have sincerity so can encourage to each other.
四、婚姻的根本是相愛：夫妻結婚，根本是建立在相愛之上，如果愛得不夠深，愛得不實在，則婚姻根本不牢固，想要長久維持幸福的婚姻，恐怕很難。所以夫妻結婚，要有深厚的愛情為基礎，則美滿姻緣必然可期。
4. The fundamental of marriage is loved: The fundamental of husband and wife marriage is loved. If the love not enough deeply and reality, the marriage base not firm. If will like to maintain the happiness marriage permanently, afraid it is very hard so the husband and wife marriage must have deeply love as basic and the fully happy fate which brings lovers together will be attain.
五、修道的根本是慈悲：信仰宗教的修道人，尤其要重視根本，所謂「本立則道生」，修道的根本就是「慈悲」。佛教講「一切佛法如果離開慈悲，則為魔法」，所以一個修行人，什麼都可以失去，但不能失去慈悲。
5. The fundamental of cultivation is compassion: The religious believers have attached importance to the fundamental, it is compassion. Buddhist say “All the Dharma if leave our compassion, it will be evil spirit”, so a person cultivate, we can have nothing, but can not without compassion.
慈悲是修道者的根本，我們看社會上聰明的人到處都有，能力強的人比比皆是；修行人不與社會人士比聰明、比能力，而要比慈悲。慈悲沒有對手，慈悲可以克服一切磨難，慈悲的力量無堅不摧、無難不克。所以修道人要以「常樂柔和忍辱法，安住慈悲喜捨中」的願行，甚至要有「但願眾生得離苦，不為自己求安樂」的慈悲，才能完成無上佛道。
Compassion is the fundamental for cultivator. We can see many clever people and strong ability everywhere in society. The cultivator will not compare clever and ability with society but will compare their compassion. Compassion do not have competitor and can overcome all the difficulty so the cultivators can vowing in “Always joy of gentle and endure, stay of compassion and giving”, even must have compassion in “Vow the living beings away from suffering, do not wish happiness for ourselves, so can attain the Buddhahood.
