本週法語如下:
「菩提之道一方面要有福德,一方面要有智慧。福德就 是善法,修了善法而不執著善法、修了慈悲而不執著慈悲,無我相、無人相,這就是智慧。有了智慧,菩提心就現前。」
「The bodhi path is a path of merit as well as wisdom. Merit is doing good deeds. Wisdom is doing good deeds and cultivating compassion without attachment, without the notions of self and others. With wisdom, the bodhimind will manifest.」

🪷 故事五:最安靜的捐款人
Story 5: The Quiet Donor
【中文故事開始|The Story Begins】
每年冬天,校門口都會擺一個愛心捐款箱,幫助附近社區的貧困家庭和老人。學生可以自由投錢,或寫卡片鼓勵。
Every winter, a donation box was placed by the school gate to help families and elderly people in the neighborhood. Students could freely donate or write cards of encouragement.
老師說:「這不是比誰捐得多,而是用真心幫助別人。」
“The point isn’t who donates the most,” the teacher said, “but who gives with a sincere heart.”
有一天,捐款箱裡出現了一張紙條,上面只有一行字:
「願這份小小的心意,化為你心中的溫暖。」
One day, a note appeared inside the box. It simply read:
“May this small offering become warmth in your heart.”
旁邊沒有署名,連筆跡也很平常。
There was no signature, and the handwriting looked very ordinary.
但那天的捐款數字卻是前所未有的高,老師看了,笑著說:「是有人默默在行善啊。」
But that day’s donations reached a record high. The teacher smiled and said, “Someone is doing good very quietly.”
後來幾週裡,又陸續出現了幾張類似的紙條:
「願你今晚不再發冷,夢裡有光。」
「不管生活有多苦,希望你知道你不孤單。」
In the following weeks, similar notes kept appearing:
“May you feel no cold tonight and dream with light.”
“No matter how hard life feels, know you’re not alone.”
有學生開始猜測:「是誰寫的?是誰捐最多?」
Some students started guessing, “Who wrote these? Who gave the most?”
有人甚至想安裝攝影機看是誰每天清晨先來。
Some even suggested installing a camera to see who showed up first each morning.
但校長說:「行善若是為了被看見,那善就不夠清淨了。我們應該學習的是那份不求名的心。」
But the principal said, “If kindness must be seen, then it’s not truly pure. What we should learn is the heart that expects nothing in return.”
📣 思考時間 Reflection Time
🔹 你覺得,那個捐款人是誰重要嗎?
🔹 Do you think it matters who the donor is?
🔹 為什麼有人選擇「不留名」去做善事?
🔹 Why do some people choose to stay anonymous when doing good deeds?
🔹 當你做了一件好事沒被發現,你會失望嗎?還是更踏實?
🔹 If no one notices the good you do, do you feel disappointed—or more grounded?
