《臉書語》自序
緣起
這本《臉書語》的誕生，源於近十五個月來，我在網絡上的隨感而發。這些文字，或長或短，或深或淺，都是當下心靈的映照。感謝門人霍倩婷的細心整理，將這些散落的片段匯集成冊，使之成為一部可供讀者隨時翻閱、靜心品味的電子書。
書名「臉書語」，並非僅指這些文字最初發表於社交媒體，更寓意著「臉」——眾生之相，「書」——智慧之載，「語」——慈悲之音。願這些話語能如清泉，流入讀者心田，帶來一絲清涼與覺醒。
關於內容
本書圍繞四大主題展開：
1. 慈悲與善良
眾生皆具佛性，只因無明遮蔽，執著自我，才陷入煩惱。真正的慈悲，不分親疏，無有界限。如書中所言：「觀音智能化身，賜福眾生，青春永駐，佛性長存。」願我們都能以柔軟心待人，以善良眼觀世。
2. 正念與冥想
心若散亂，世界便紛擾；心若安定，萬物皆澄明。正念不是逃避現實，而是清醒地活在當下。「停！我受夠了，修心比修財重要！」這聲吶喊，是對浮躁時代的反省，也是回歸內在的契機。
3. 韌性與毅力
修行如逆水行舟，不進則退。面對逆境，不必懼怕，而應視為鍛煉意志的熔爐。「突破自我的束縛，超越平庸的界限」，這需要堅持，更需要對真理的無畏信心。
4. 尊重與感恩
一切成就皆緣起於他者之恩。從父母、師長，到山河大地，無不值得我們心懷感激。「感恩大日如來帶來的光明與智慧」，這份感恩，應化為具體的行動——善待他人，珍視當下。
寫作初衷
這些文字，多為隨感而發，未有刻意雕琢。但正因如此，反而更貼近真實的心境。有人問：「為何要將網絡片段集結成書？」我的回答是：言語如風，易散難聚；匯集成冊，方能沉澱。願讀者在碎片化的時代，藉此書找到一片寧靜的角落，細嚼慢嚥，反觀自心。
致謝
感謝所有在網絡上與我互動的讀者，你們的回饋讓這些文字有了更深的意義；感謝弟子霍倩婷的辛勤編輯，使散珠成串；更感謝歷代上師的教誨，讓佛法智慧如燈火相傳，永不熄滅。
最後，願此書能成為一座小橋，助你渡過煩惱之河，抵達覺悟的彼岸。

Preface to <The Language of Facebook>
Origins
The birth of *The Language of Facebook* stems from the reflections I have shared online over the past fifteen months. These writings, whether lengthy or brief, profound or simple, are all mirrors of the mind in the present moment. I am grateful to my disciple Elaine Fok for her meticulous efforts in compiling these scattered fragments into an e-book, allowing readers to peruse and contemplate them at their leisure.
The title *The Language of Facebook* does not merely signify that these words were first published on social media. Rather, it carries a deeper meaning:
– “Face”represents the visage of all sentient beings,
– “Book”symbolizes the vessel of wisdom,
– “Language”conveys the voice of compassion.
May these words flow like a clear spring into the hearts of readers, bringing a touch of clarity and awakening.
On Content
This book revolves around four major themes:
1. Compassion and Kindness
All beings possess Buddha-nature, yet it is obscured by ignorance and self-attachment, leading to suffering. True compassion knows no boundaries or partiality. As stated in the book: “The Avalokiteshvara manifests in intelligent forms, bestowing blessings upon all, granting eternal youth and abiding Buddha-nature.”*May we all treat others with tenderness and view the world through eyes of kindness.
2. Mindfulness and Meditation
When the mind is scattered, the world appears chaotic; when the mind is still, all things become clear. Mindfulness is not an escape from reality but a way to live fully in the present. “Stop! I’ve had enough—cultivating the mind is more important than cultivating wealth!” This cry is both a reflection on our restless era and an invitation to return inward.
3. Resilience and Perseverance
Spiritual practice is like rowing against the current: progress requires relentless effort. Adversity need not be feared but embraced as a forge for the will. “Break free from the shackles of the self, transcend the limits of mediocrity”—this demands not only persistence but also fearless faith in truth.
4. Respect and Gratitude
All accomplishments arise from the kindness of others. From parents and teachers to the mountains and rivers, everything deserves our heartfelt thanks. Gratitude to the Great Sun Tathagata for the light and wisdom bestowed”—this gratitude should translate into action: treating others with kindness and cherishing the present.
The Purpose of Writing
Most of these writings were spontaneous, unpolished expressions. Yet it is precisely this rawness that brings them closer to the truth of the mind. Some may ask, “Why compile online fragments into a book?” My answer is: Words are like wind, easily scattered and hard to gather; only when collected can they settle and endure. In this fragmented age, may this book offer readers a quiet corner to reflect, savor, and turn inward.
Acknowledgments
My thanks to all who have interacted with me online—your feedback has given these words deeper meaning. My gratitude to Ms Elaine Fok for her diligent editing, stringing scattered pearls into a cohesive whole. Above all, I am indebted to the teachings of past masters, ensuring that the wisdom of the Dharma continues to illuminate the world like an unextinguished lamp.
Finally, may this book serve as a small bridge, helping you cross the river of affliction and reach the shore of awakening.
