活水清流 - 实体版
自序:
禪修是一門重要的功課,能使內心本然性的定慧功能發揮得圓滿透徹。於是,寫了六十個簡短句子,有些是原本已有的,有些是自己寫的,集成一小書出版,幫助禪修者的修學。
取書名為《活水清流》,主要是因為這些句子與禪修應有的正確觀念、心態和基礎有著密切的關係。如果能把這些掌握好,就能把方法用活起來,漸把功夫用上,達至禪的意境─活水清流。
為了方便英文源流的佛友閱讀,也請姐姐幫忙翻譯為英文,希望更多人能從中受益。
在此,感恩姐姐、甘露出版社以及所有直接、間接促成此書出版的因緣。

“A Flowing Stream” Preface
Meditation is an important daily practice. It enhances the concentration and wisdom within us to full fruition. As such, 60 short sayings have been written; some are quoted from Buddhist texts and others are written by myself. All these are collected into a small booklet to help practitioners in their practice.
“A Flowing Stream” (huo shui qing liu) is used as the title of the booklet mainly because these sayings are closely related to the right perception, attitude and foundation of meditation practice. If these are mastered, meditation will be a lively practice, enabling one to progress gradually. So, the concentration and wisdom within us will come to full fruition just like a flowing stream.
For the convenience of English educated practitioners, I requested my sister to help me translate the sayings into English Language, hoping that more people will benefit from it.
My gratitude to my sister, Amata Publisher, all direct and indirect causes and conditions that contribute to the publishing of this booklet.
