本週法語如下：
古德云：「行如山，願如海。」願與行，如鳥二翼，有願，還要有行。每天發願、禮拜以後，還要在日常生活上來用功，這就是真正在修廣大願行。所以，以願導行，用行來滿自己的願。
The ancients said: “Action is like a mountain; vow, an ocean.” Actions and vows are two wings of a bird. Everyday, after affirming our vows with prostration, we should take steps to fulfill them in our daily life—for vows guide actions; actions fulfill our vows.
📖 故事三：籃球比賽的逆轉
中英文雙版
中文
阿傑最喜歡打籃球，他常常在球場上大喊：「我要成為校隊明星！」
可是，他卻不喜歡練基本功。上籃不穩、投球動作歪，體能更是很快就耗盡。
有一次校隊友誼賽，教練意外讓他先發上場。觀眾席擠滿同學，他心裡激動，幻想自己投進致勝一球。
可是現實卻很殘酷。比賽開始沒多久，他就因為失誤被對手搶球，連續丟掉好幾分。跑到下半場，他氣喘吁吁，雙腿像灌了鉛。最後，他被換下場，滿臉通紅地坐在板凳上。
比賽輸了。阿傑心裡很不是滋味。
教練拍拍他的肩膀說：「你想當明星，這就是願。但你平常不肯練習，沒有行動，怎麼可能成功？光有願，沒有行，就像籃球沒有籃框，投得再多也進不了。」
從那天起，阿傑開始改變。天還沒亮，他就去球場練跑步；放學後，他反覆練投籃，直到手臂酸麻。即使球一顆顆砸在籃框上，他也不放棄。
「願是海，給我方向；行是山，讓我堅持。」這句話成了他心裡的口號。
下一次比賽，他再次被派上場。這次他穩穩接住隊友傳球，冷靜地運球、傳球、防守。最後一分鐘，他投進一球，觀眾席響起雷鳴般的掌聲。
阿傑望著籃框，心裡比任何時候都踏實：「真正的勝利，不是夢想，而是願與行並進。」
English
Jack loved basketball. On the court, he often shouted, “I’m going to be the star of the team!”
But he hated practicing the basics. His layups were shaky, his shots were crooked, and his stamina ran out quickly.
One day, during a school match, the coach unexpectedly let him start. The bleachers were full of students. Jack imagined himself scoring the winning shot.
But reality was harsh. Within minutes, he lost the ball several times, giving away points. By halftime, he was gasping for air, his legs heavy as lead. Finally, the coach substituted him out. Jack sat on the bench, face burning with shame.
The team lost. Jack felt miserable.
The coach patted his shoulder and said, “You want to be a star—that’s your vow. But without action, how can you succeed? A vow without action is like a basketball hoop without a rim—you can never score.”
From that day on, Jack changed. Before dawn, he ran laps on the court. After school, he practiced shots again and again until his arms ached. Even when the ball bounced off the rim, he refused to quit.
“A vow is the sea, giving me direction. Action is the mountain, keeping me steady.” That became his inner motto.
At the next game, he was sent in again. This time, he caught passes firmly, dribbled calmly, and defended steadily. In the final minute, he scored, and the crowd erupted in cheers.
Looking at the hoop, Jack felt more grounded than ever: “True victory isn’t just a dream. It comes when vow and action go hand in hand.”
