本週法語如下：
「隨」是隨順、不違背；「喜」是歡喜、無瞋。隨喜讚歎，一方面能除去自己的嫉妒心，另一方面能成就大功德。幫助他人成就功德、福報的同時，也在成就自己的功德、福報。
When we react to others’ accomplishments with heartfelt joy and praise instead of envy and interference, we are getting rid of our own jealousy and gaining great merits at the same time. When we help others to accomplish good deeds, we are bringing merits and blessings not only to others but also to ourselves.
① 孔子：聽小孩的智慧
故事 / Story
中文：
有一次，孔子帶著學生們出遊，遇到一群小孩在路上堆土作城，擋住了去路。孔子要學生們請孩子讓路，但孩子們卻說：「車子可以繞過城，城不可以讓開。」孔子笑了，反而對學生說：「孩子們有道理，我們應該尊重他們的智慧。」於是他們繞路而行。
英文：
Once, Confucius traveled with his students and encountered children building a clay city in the middle of the road. His students asked the children to move, but they replied, “A city cannot move, but a cart can go around it.” Confucius laughed and told his students, “The children are right. We should respect their wisdom.” So they took a detour.
