依靠普世真理，不依靠世俗道理
这个启示的一般解释都是跟佛的书面语录有关；许多人觉得佛的某些教导是世俗真理—跟某些特别情况有关的概念和习俗。佛经也因此被分成包含世俗之理的经和一概包含普世真理的经。当我们觉得佛的启示有冲突时，我们应该以普世真理的经为准。
再进一步看看这个念头……
佛在北印度教导普世真理达 49 年之久。我们现在才开始根据书面文献去了解佛的启示。我们只能从记录里接受佛的一部分启示，而不能知晓佛未开口便已传递的其它信息。即使我们可以真正在场（穿梭时空），我们还是会带着我们的想法和偏见去解释佛讲的话。
毋庸置疑，佛用了许多方法来教导我们普世真理，只是我们焦躁不安的心无法了解，即便是一千卷经也起不了多少作用。为什么？因为我们用来了解真理的心是普通的心，我们的心总是在过滤、界定、判断一切事情，它无法看清事实。
要依靠普世真理，并不是去把概念分成普世和普通两种。我们首先得把焦躁不安的心静下来，因为此心会把真的扭曲成假的，然后我们就能在一朵花和一个微笑里看到真理。

I have only recently been introduced to Buddhism and now realize how difficult it can be to quiet your mind. Through Master’s writings and books, I have learned that there is another way and have been trying to use my thoughts and mind in a way that allows me to see the bigger picture, which I think at least in part is connected to the universal truth.
Certainly!! Beyond the surface appearance of Buddhism – the ritual, the architecture, the clothes, the food, the tea, the Oriental thing, the terminologies, etc – there is something that is truly beneficial and useful to everyone. That something is the universal truth. That is what you want to get out of Buddhism, not the packaging but the actual stuff inside.
Master’s teaching on the Mind is what I think the ultimate mobile device, it works anywhere, regardless of your cultural and social background. You can apply it to any aspect of your life and make a real difference. That’s universal!
