信心本具

發展信心，就像是觀看日出。首先，它似乎很微弱，不知它是否會昇起，然後它漸漸顯露出光芒。信心不是自大或驕傲，而是一個自然的開展過程；這不是一個需不需要它的問題，它天然本具。事實上，我們無須去發展信心，但我們必須承認那已經本然存在的信心。

Confidence Already Exists

Developing confidence is like watching the sun rise. First it seems very feeble and one wonders whether it will make it. Then it shines and shines. Confidence is not about arrogance or pride. It is a natural unfolding process. It’s not a question of needing confidence or not needing it. It’s naturally there. In fact, we actually don’t have to develop confidence. It’s more that we have to acknowledge the confidence that already exists.
