以幻迹言 無論功名富貴 卽肢體亦屬委形 以眞境言 無論父母兄弟 卽萬物皆吾一體 人能看得破認得眞 纔可任天下之負擔 亦可脫世間之韁鎖 (前 103)
As a trace of illusion, not only wealth and honor, but also my body is just a fake shell. As a true stage of enlightenment, everything, not just my parents and siblings, is the same body as me. If one could penetrate into knowing the truth, he would be able to bear the burdens of the whole world and be freed from the world's shackles.
The truth is that everything changes, but it's untrue that the truth does not change. It is a paradox and bliss either. When we experience the phenomenon, there is only the attitude of mind to see whether it as illusions and the Truth. Therefore every time is a chance for spiritual growth. Most people can understand it, but ignore it.
