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.
📖 故事四：科學展覽的啟示

小安最喜歡科學課，總是幻想自己能在科學展覽上奪冠。
可是，他的習慣是：想法很多，行動很少。筆記本裡寫滿「超酷發明」的構想，但真正動手做的卻幾乎沒有。
有一年，學校舉辦大型科學展，他立刻報名。
可是直到展覽前兩週，他還沒開始動手。倉促拼湊的作品，不但外觀粗糙，連實驗也做不出結果。當天評審走到他攤位前時，他結結巴巴解釋，臉上滿是尷尬。最後，他的作品沒有得到任何獎項。
回家後，他躲在房間裡，覺得很丟臉。
老師走來對他說：「你有遠大的願望，但你缺少行動。願是海，讓你知道要往哪裡去；行是山，讓你走得穩。只有願，沒有行，就像一座空城，看起來壯觀卻沒有人住。」
小安沉默了很久，下定決心要改變。
隔年科展開始招募時，他立刻展開行動：一邊查資料、一邊買材料，實驗一次次失敗，他就耐心記錄、調整。即使失敗讓他沮喪，他也對自己說：「行要像山，不能倒下。」
展覽那天，他的作品雖然不是最華麗的，但運作流暢，解說清楚。評審點頭稱讚，他獲得了優勝。
他笑了，心裡明白：「願與行並進，才是真正的力量。」
English
Andy loved science class and dreamed of winning the school science fair.
But his habit was to dream a lot and act little. His notebook was full of “cool inventions,” yet he hardly ever built anything.
One year, when the school announced a big science fair, he signed up right away.
But even two weeks before the fair, he hadn’t started. He rushed to throw something together, but it looked sloppy, and his experiment failed. On the day of the fair, he stammered in front of the judges, embarrassed. He won nothing.
At home, he hid in his room, feeling ashamed.
His teacher told him, “You have big dreams, but lack action. A vow is the sea—it gives you direction. Action is the mountain—it gives you strength. A vow without action is like an empty castle: grand in appearance, but no one lives inside.”
Andy stayed quiet for a long time, then resolved to change.
The next year, when the fair was announced, he immediately began working: researching, gathering materials, and testing. His experiments failed again and again, but he carefully recorded and adjusted. Even when discouraged, he told himself, “My action must be steady like the mountain.”
At the fair, his project wasn’t the flashiest, but it worked smoothly, and he explained it clearly. The judges nodded in approval, awarding him a prize.
He smiled, realizing: “True power comes when vow and action move forward together.”
🌟 思考題 Reflection Questions
-
你有沒有像小安一樣，想法很多卻沒有真正去行動的時候？
Have you ever been like Andy, full of ideas but lacking action? -
如果實驗或計畫一次次失敗，你會選擇放棄還是調整後再試？
If your experiment or plan failed again and again, would you give up or adjust and try again? -
在你生活中，有沒有一件事情值得你「願與行並進」？
In your life, is there something worth pursuing with both vow and action?
