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.
🎹 故事二：鋼琴比賽的兩次經驗
中英文雙版
有一個少年，平時最愛說：「我一定要彈好鋼琴，讓大家都看到我的才華！」
可是，他卻常常把時間花在打遊戲上，練琴總是草草帶過。
第一次比賽來臨時，他只練了一點點，就上了台。
燈光打在身上，他心裡一陣慌亂，手指抖得厲害。
彈到一半，他居然忘了樂譜，整個人愣在舞台上。台下的觀眾竊竊私語，他滿臉通紅，狼狽地彈完，跑下台。
回到家，他忍不住哭了：「明明我許過願，要讓自己閃耀，怎麼會這樣丟臉？」
老師告訴他：「你只發了願，卻沒有行動。願像大海，給你方向；行像高山，讓你站得穩。只有願，沒有行，就像一隻只有一邊翅膀的鳥，飛不起來。」
過了一年，老師再次宣布要舉辦比賽。這一次，少年不敢再輕忽。
他一聽到消息，立刻下定決心：「我要願與行並進！」
每天放學後，他都乖乖坐在琴凳上，慢慢把曲子一遍遍練熟。手指磨得僵硬，他就深呼吸，告訴自己：「行要像山一樣穩固。」
有時候他累得想偷懶，可是想到去年在台上的窘樣，他又挺起背，繼續努力。
比賽那天，他站在舞台中央，深吸一口氣，指尖在琴鍵上流暢地跳動。音樂像一條清澈的河流，順暢地流淌出來。台下爆出熱烈的掌聲。
他眼睛閃著光，心裡暗暗說：「原來，願要像海一樣大，行要像山一樣穩，才能一步步實現！」
English Version
There was a boy who always said, “I will play the piano so well that everyone will admire me!”
But most of the time, he wasted hours on video games and barely practiced.
When his first competition came, he had only practiced a little.
Under the stage lights, his heart raced, and his fingers trembled.
Halfway through the piece, he forgot the notes and froze. The audience whispered, and his face turned red. Embarrassed, he stumbled to the end and ran off the stage.
At home, he cried, “I made a vow to shine, but why did I end up humiliated?”
His teacher said, “You only made a vow, but you did not act. A vow is like the vast sea that gives direction. Action is like a mountain that gives strength. With only a vow and no action, you’re like a bird with only one wing—you can’t fly.”
A year later, when another competition was announced, the boy dared not be careless again.
The moment he heard the news, he made up his mind: “This time, my vow and action will go hand in hand!”
Every day after school, he sat at the piano, practicing the piece over and over. His fingers grew stiff, but he reminded himself: “My action must be steady like a mountain.”
Whenever he felt tired and wanted to quit, he remembered last year’s embarrassment, straightened his back, and kept going.
On the day of the competition, he stood on stage, took a deep breath, and let his fingers dance across the keys. The music flowed smoothly like a clear river. The audience erupted into applause.
His eyes sparkled, and he whispered to himself, “Only when my vow is vast like the sea and my action steady like the mountain can I truly achieve my dream.”
