  學修行道,一定要丟掉身份意識,學修就是要以良知良能為中心,懂就是懂,不懂就想,不懂就學,不懂就問,這才是正當的態度。不僅學修上如此,做事也是如此,要放下身份,以做好事情為中心,所謂不恥下問,謙虛地去請教,這並非恥辱。從孔子「入大廟,每事問」的做法及「不恥下問」的教導看,他講的「知之為知之,不知為不知,是知也」,就是一種真實的、老老實實上進和求學的態度,是智慧的態度。

  Confucius said, “When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it – that is knowledge.” If you understand thoroughly Dao’s Wu Wei, letting go of your persistence, realizing the lessons of the time, and accepting any teaching with an open mind; then you will be able to truly know.
