慈悲應用不當, 會成為濫慈悲, 如同過多的愛包容, 就等於溺愛.
慈悲如沒有智慧做前導, 有時反會產生反效果.
Mercy applied in inappropriately, will become to excessive compassion, love with too much tolerance is equivalent to spoil.
Compassion without wisdom to do the advance leading, and sometimes to obtain the disadvantage.
人的無知, 常因為無智, 無智常因為無學習, 沒有緩下生活步調停看聽, 每日學習來自於多方面的吸收及請問, 要想有學問, 就需邊學邊問. 古人有言 : 吾日三省吾身, 每日三次自我反省. 好像真的很難做到.
曾子曰：“吾日三省悟身：為人謀而不忠乎？與朋友交而不信乎？傳不習乎？”

漢譯： 3 種版譯.
