依意義，不依文字
對我來講，「依意義，不依文字」不僅是警告我們不要逐字地去解釋佛經，因為那樣會用我們的字取代佛的字。我們的心是如此迷惘，我情願用佛的字。
意義從何來？當概念活生生地與事實結合，意義就出來了。換句話說，我們終於了解事實存在於字之前，而字只是在表達事實。除非我們學會依靠意義而不依靠字，否則快樂、自由、豐富與愛將始終遙不可及。

Sometimes words can not express the true reality of one’s life. An example would be when a woman has a child. Listening to people I know that have children, their description of their first meeting with the baby is almost hard to describe in words. The reality is the baby in their arms and their heart bursting with joy, awe and amazement but when they try and tell you how they feel, it cannot be truly expressed in words.
