本週法語如下：
這念心通達因果、無為的道理，了解今生的苦惱是過去所造的惡業成熟，甘心甘受，業障就能消除。進一步，能夠識達、知道逢苦不憂，知道的這念心現前，不隨境轉，就沒有苦惱、取捨，當下就與理相應，得到解脫。
When we thoroughly understand the principle of causality and the unconditioned, that the suffering we face in this life is the karmic consequence of our past transgressions and therefore accept adversities willingly, our karmic obstacles will dissolve. Furthermore, when we deepen our insight and know to face hardships without distress, recognizing this mind that knows is not swayed by any conditions—right then we will be free from attachments and afflictions, be in accord with the Way and attain liberation.
📖 小說風佛教故事示範
中文版：神通第一的心
晨霧籠罩著山谷，溪水潺潺，鳥鳴清脆。
摩訶目犍連，佛陀最得力的弟子之一，正練習他的神通。雖然他擁有強大的力量，但心裡總有一絲不安。
一天，他遇到一件難題：一個叛徒意圖陷害他，讓他遭遇危險。目犍連心裡一陣怒氣：「為什麼我做了那麼多善事，還會有人算計我？」
佛陀平靜地走到他身旁，語氣溫和：「目犍連，所有的遭遇都是因緣的結果。過去世的行為、現在的心念、他人的行動，都是緣起。不要因為表象而動怒。」
目犍連低下頭，回想過去。原來他過去世曾對父母不敬，如今這些因緣仍有影響。他心中一震，慢慢明白：即使神通第一，也逃不出因果。
從那天起，目犍連學會了在遇到挑戰時，先觀察心念，不隨怒氣起舞。他仍用神通救人，但心中安穩如水。
漸漸地，他不再被挫折和報復牽著走，而是智慧與慈悲兼具，被人們尊敬。
English Version: Mahā Maudgalyāyana’s Wisdom
Morning mist covered the valley, streams trickled, and birds chirped clearly.
Mahā Maudgalyāyana, one of the Buddha’s most accomplished disciples, was practicing his supernormal powers. Despite his strength, there was a subtle unease in his heart.
One day, a traitor tried to trap him, putting him in danger. Anger surged:
“Why, after all my good deeds, would someone try to harm me?”
The Buddha walked beside him, calm and gentle:
“Maudgalyāyana, all encounters are the result of causes and conditions. Past actions, present thoughts, and the actions of others are all interconnected. Do not let appearances stir anger.”
Maudgalyāyana bowed his head and reflected. In a past life, he had been disrespectful to his parents, and now the consequences appeared. His heart shook, and he gradually understood: even one with great powers cannot escape cause and effect.
From that day on, whenever he faced challenges, he first observed his mind and did not act in anger. He still used his powers to help others, but his heart was calm as still water. Slowly, he was no longer swayed by setbacks or revenge, becoming wise, compassionate, and respected by all.
