| 主題:永生 若論永生，不如說我願當一個字。靜止的東西才可永生。 不過人人都把自己的生命看得寶貴無比。誰又願意形神全滅，永遠從宇宙中消失呢？ 上述基於一個道理：人都指望著還有然後！ 而真實情況是：若你永生了，你就沒有然後了。 所以靜止等於恐怖，人人都害怕它，也害怕照鏡子。 而電腦等於人造的鏡子，所以有人把機械人的出現看得恐怖無比。 而他們又希望有一種變相的永生方式以對抗機械人可能對人類造成的傷害。 中醫中腎主水，主骨生髓。可知靜止的東西方為智慧的中樞。 又腎之情志為恐，土之情志為思。凡物思則不恐，土克水，故真正有智慧的人並不害怕形神全滅。 相反，後其身而身先，在萬物使用那個人的智慧時，反而使得那個人變得必須存在了，是為永生！ |

| 主題:真信受方能真奉行 朱老師，您的回應晚輩已認真拜讀， 然我之疑仍未能決，概是我因心情急切，言過細雜之故，讓您難顧周全，晚輩之過。若不介意，晚輩想回過頭再一一請教，可否？ 1。古人云“理未圓通，莫論修真”。晚輩正是發心遇到難處，心晚輩倒是發得夠大公無私，毫不利己，捨己利他的。可發時，心裡卻覺得自己特虛偽、自欺欺人--好像實際是借途度眾生，以期自己離苦得樂、成佛似的。簡而言之，就是發無私心，卻感是為私心。自己受不了這心裡矛盾疙瘩，故無心奉行（修行）。這是公私之疑。 2。且不說，“如來是真語者。實語者。如語者。不誑語者。不異語者。”佛亦是人修成的，基本為人者，以誠實謙虛為本，人做好了，方可稱學佛吧？“佛說願度盡眾生，方自成佛。”佛已成佛，然眾生未盡卻依舊在。這不算是不誠實或說誇口了嗎？發願不講實事求是，不怕大嗎？發願後不是要如願而行的嗎？這願行合一之疑。（此疑乞請可否從何為願，如何發願（菩提心）合理、為上處做答起，我懷疑自己是不是對此大有曲解？） 3。“耶穌被釘上了十字架，只有祈禱說：“我為世人贖罪！”其實，罪在人心，誰也不能為誰贖罪，除非天下人能自懺罪悔過。”既然知道“罪在人心，誰也不能為誰贖罪，除非天下人能自懺罪悔過。”，卻還要說“我為世人贖罪！”我對佛道的也是有類此一疑，上權引耶穌之說代表達而已。這是自欺、誠偽之疑。“信為道元功德母”，“信受奉行”，我想斷此疑，就是讓自己真敬信此道（理通，徹底說服自己），起心力真行。方會“人連忙都忙不過來，哪裡有「心中矛盾，苦不堪言」的事？” 合十禮！ |
| 回應﹕ 讀西式學堂，也要循序漸進，小學生不能學代數，中學生不能修微積分。憑什麼這種人間最大的關隘，閣下想一步登天呢？人不務實必空，宗教就是宗前人之教，要就信，信了就不能懷疑。如果不能迷信，就得逐步印證，用生命、時間、智慧去接受磨練！ 要知宇宙真理，大學畢業了才能說開始，先知、神佛為了接引不同「程度」的學生，設了很多課程，一年級的不能懂三年級的，又有什麼奇怪？閣下引用的經文，如果不懂，表示程度不夠，急什麼？這又不是「速食麵」，開水一沖就吃？ 多讀「正經書」吧！宗教只是人生方向之一，沒有機緣，不得入門；程度不夠，也只能望經興嘆！除非自以為是，果真，可另創一門，自立本尊！ 註：本網有言在先，不談宗教，正因人人皆迷、或人人自以為懂。當今各種宗教網多如牛毛，對以上問題，無不樂意解答，自尋可也。 （沈補）果真發心，且悟力、能力已達，“自然”行於所當行，止於不可不止，略無矯飾。若自覺欺人自欺、有若表演，顯然力有未逮，轉而懷疑導演、編劇之功力，實難入戲也。莫如拒演，先行心安理得之事（即疑事不行、行事不疑，如用人然），再來發願，猶未遲也。 |

| 主題:如何讀金剛經 悉老先生當年受金剛經啟發，小的多番嘗試，亦不明所云。佛道中人常說金剛經是超出宗教的，是宗教非宗教，能明金剛經，則通一經通萬經。愚者化簡為繁，智者化繁為簡，希望老先生能用最簡單數字將金剛經要義道出，開悟小的，感激不盡，功德無量。 |
| 回應﹕ 本網不談宗教，但金剛經曾多次介紹，其主旨僅一個觀念而已。此觀念係為「覺者」所說，一般人境界不到，無從領會，但亦不必苛求（老朽也須等到三十七歲始明）。 人受「心」縛，「覺者」覺此是謂覺。對欲「發心」以求「大智慧（＝到彼岸＝解脫）」之覺者，須菩提問：「應如何住，應如何生其心」。佛告示曰：「應無所住而生其心」（本句本網曾一再解說，請見過往留言，不贅）。 |

| 主題:關於宗教 先生，請務必聽小子一句：文化的本質在於宗教！ 先生的留言聲明“不談宗教”者，是真不談還是不願談，更，還是不能談？！！！ 今後如果有妄談或奢談更亂彈宗教者，李成代先生接架。 1、首走為“道”。道者思想運動也；人需為“儒”。儒者人之綱常也；人弗為“佛”，佛者離人而求人也。 2、我中華大道者，三教一教也。舍人無他。 3、人從眾從人，九九歸一！一“人”而已！！！ 4、真主者，一人一物也；基督者，一物二人也。 東西宗教本質差距如此，則，文化載具之文字懸殊何止天壤！ 二人為“天”；二人為“仁”！二人之正為“征”，天子興師為“征”；一人之戈為“伐”，諸侯舉兵為“伐”……照著鏡子才能看到人；砸碎鏡子才能找到人！ 倉頡何在，倉頡何在！ 先生不悟國教，何以對倉頡！！！？ 妄談或奢談更亂彈宗教者，在所不論；但，先生既已終生如此，豈能避宗教而不談？ |
| 回應﹕ 大道無功，宗教有宗；老朽野人，離而不從。 |

| 主題:一個不情之請! 朱老師, 大安： 我是一個台灣的數學國中老師，自知朱老師為人處世後，便常在課堂介紹朱老師的為人及一些著作。更從留言版中 copy 了一些影評，並影印予同學，然後費盡心力找了片子在課堂上撥放。為此，己受上級(校長及教務主任..等)和同事之不諒解，且在前一陣子，尚有一個家長特地來校要我好好的教數學，不應授以學科外的題材，以免影學生之升學。此一事件，大大影影響我的教學意願，但在學生支持及自我良知影響下，我仍然堅持已見，不以改初衷! 我的教學原則是盡力將我所知的好東西介紹予學生。就算不完全懂得朱老師的理論，但我只告訴學生，這個人世間，還有一號朱老先生在，其所做所為，值得同學去多加了解，所以，我問心無愧! 雜言絮絮，己忘留言之目的。我的建議是，可否將朱老師所收集的影片列之成表? 實因在這媒體氾濫的年代，要找好影片難，而要有好眼光去找好影片，更難! 希望我的請求不會為您的工作室帶來麻煩，並祝朱老師及沈大姐暨全體為中華文化奮戰的學生們，安康! |
| 回應﹕ 事雖一件，話分兩頭。 首先，閣下這種想法，喚起老朽四十多年前之回憶。老朽曾在１９６２年於花蓮農校任教，正因為教學原則與閣下雷同，結果遭遇近似，最後不得不黯然離職。為什麼？「上級」不支持，家長不諒解，學生不開竅，堅持己見意義何在？ 表面上看來，人生複雜萬千，其實只是個理想與現實的殺戳戰場。而勝敗乃兵家常事，但得失則影響後世，既深且遠！理想永遠屬於極少數人，眼不見，耳難聞，譬之如地下水可也。現實才是主流，河道常變，濁流難清，汪洋大海因之而聚。 地下水誰見到了？不論地球生態如何，地下水是不會乾涸的（火星唯一的希望在此）。人需要水才能生存，然而除了沙漠、荒原，人還是依賴河流、湖泊。為什麼？睜眼得見，觸手可及，人能知道珍惜、愛護，已經算是僥天之大幸了。 學生是片良田，耕耘辛苦，是要期之數十年始能開花結果。但開出的究是何種花果，也很難說是何時何人所播、或好或壞的種籽而定。因此，若要傳薪播種，就得略加妥協，不要像老朽一般，萬般失望，奔走天涯，最後身旁只剩下十多個「小傻子」！ 其次，老朽所收集的影片，約有數百，但真正看完的，少而又少！為什麼？人有長短，山有高低，任何一部片子，都有其不同的水準。老朽有ＤＮＡ試鏡，三分鐘就知「目錄」，七成爛片過不了關；再看十分鐘，又淘汰了近半；真正能到終場的，不足一成！所以，一張表列下來，也就與老朽的影評差不太多了。 但是，閣下既有此心，老朽亦願勉為其難，待工作空閒之際，或可推介一些。 總之，老朽們正在努力，待「文化工具」齊備後，將來必是「文化事業」的世代。與其費時費力、斤斤計較好萊塢的成品，未若將我中華文化發揚光大之。準此，培養文化的認識、維持思維的敏銳、感受時代的脈動，才是追根溯源之道。 但願閣下在孵雞之當兒，休要打破了蛋巢。為了學子，堅持斯可，略改更宜也！ |

If the waves were the same, the energy would be limitlessly amplified. 建議: Did it occur to anyone that if the reason this sensor received the signal was really due to resonance, then when it was in phase with the wave, energy woule be limitlessly amplified.

There are about 100 passengers in the hall right now. 建議: A more serious problem it that the other side of the sensor is facing the dance hall. There are about 100 passengers in the the ball right now.

Black King Kong pulled him over, tossed the tray to the floor, 建議: It just so happened that an upright robot was passing by with a tray of liquor. Black King Kong pulled it over, tossed the tray to the floor, (立式機器人用 him 也沒不妥，不過因為黑金剛碰巧和船長一起，此 him 會引起誤會) 原文: 這類喜好池中運動的人，常常使用一些助興劑 譯文: Those who liked dance floor exercise often used "uppers". 建議: Those who liked exercise in the dancing pool often used "uppers".

In this way the conversations can be linked up with each other. (用過網上視像會議系統即知，滯後所引致的中斷絕對避不了，原文的方法只是令一問一答間可以接的上，no break 是不可能的) 原文: 等了一分多鐘，屏幕上的紀來之才說 譯文: After more than a minute, the screen image of Ji Laizhi said, 建議: 等了三分多鐘，屏幕上的紀來之才說 (落差86秒，一來一回，約三分鐘多。與孔無咎說的快慢無關，因為對方總要聽到了才能回答) 位置: 電腦替以詩會友大會賣廣告 原文: 甲板上現在舉行以詩會友大會，歡迎大家踴躍參加。」 譯文: There will be a meeting of the ‘making friends through poetry’ club. Everyone is welcome to attend. 建譯: There will be a meeting of the 'making friends through poetry'. Everyone is welcome to attend.

(前半句改一下較好，後半句 climate 氣候和 weather 天氣有分別。） 原文：再加上陸地的水土保持長期被漠視 譯文：In addition, soil and water conservation had been neglected for a long period time. 建議：In addition, soil and water conservation had been neglected for a long period of time. (不小心） 原文：電腦終於發現，他知道的越多，不知道的事物，也相對的呈幾何級數增加。 譯文：The computer finally realized that the more it knew, more unknown related facts arose, like some geometric progression. 建議：The computer finally realized that the more it know, more unknown related facts arose, in the order of a geometric progression. (和幾何級數相似的只是增長的量級，而不是事件本身。） 原文：已經盤踞了整個太陽系，甚至正朝著太陽系以外逐步擴展。 譯文：It had long since strategically placed itself throughout the entire solar system, and even had begun to gradually expand beyond the solar system. 建議：It had long since strategically placed itself throughout the entire solar system, and even had begun to gradually expand beyond. (似乎可以省下一個 solar system) 原文：竟然沒有人知道應該怎樣思維， 譯文：it was shocking enough that no one knew how to think, 建議：it was shocking enough that no one know how thinking work, (勉強，很勉強的建議） 原文：完成智慧電腦晶片的不二老人，多半已經仙去。 譯文：Buer Lao, the person who developed the AI computer processing unit, had already passed away. 建議：Buer Lao, the person who developed the AI computer processing unit, had most probably passed away. (多半沒死吧．．．嘻） 原文：意思是說，地球運行的速度慢了下來，可能會向太陽靠近。 譯文：This means that the Earth's rotation is slowing down, and it may start drawing nearer to the Sun. 建議：This means that the Earth's orbiting motion is slowing down, and it may start drawing nearer to the Sun. (運行是指繞日運動，rotation 會誤為自轉） 位置：文祥問古嚕嚕 原文：這就是吊詭所在 譯文：This is where the suspense came in. 建議：This is where the paradox come in. (suspense 是懸念，非邏輯上說的吊詭） 位置：文祥自我交戰 原文：不論從哪個角度來看，衣紅在交往過的女孩中，不是數一也該數二。 譯文：No matter how you looked at it, though Yi Hong might not be the best of all his girlfriends, she could be ranked as second best. 建議：No matter how one looked at it, if Yi Hong was not the best of his girlfriends, she was next to best. (晚輩不贊成用 you 這個指稱。另外感覺 second best 在英語世界有貶義，數一數二則是褒義，next to best 或許能沖淡一下） 原文：不論從哪個角度看，她並沒有把自己當意中人呀！ 譯文：No matter how you looked at it, she had never treated him as the object of her affection. 建議：No matter how one looked at it, she had never treated him as the object of her affection. (同上） 原文：哪知雙腳突然一軟，立刻滑倒在地。 譯文：Unexpectedly, he suddenly went weak in the knees and collapsed on the ground. 建議：Unexpectedly, he suddenly went weak in the knees and collapsed to the ground. (on the ground 已經就地了，那後面衣紅不能一把扶住，to the ground 則似乎還有個空檔） 位置：衝點飛行 原文：衝點飛行在太空船離開地球時，需消耗大量的推進劑，以脫離地球引力，改變飛行路徑，否則太空船將繞日運轉。 建議：衝點飛行在太空船離開地球時，需消耗大量的推進劑，以脫離太陽引力，改變飛行路徑。 (衝點時三個星體成直線，則起飛方向依地球軌道法線，故所受引力為地球加太陽者。但最終是以脫離太陽引力飛向火星。至於是否繞日運轉，則不太要緊。) |

| 主題:請問先生普渡眾生作何解﹖如何普渡﹖ 請問先生普渡眾生作何解？如何普渡？ |
| 回應﹕ 渡＝過河到另一岸。 若人生活得幸福平安，當然不必過渡。若幸福平安能永遠保持，更不必渡。 因此，連如來佛都說：不渡無緣之人。也就是說，當人不覺此生是苦，就＝無緣。 普渡眾生＝搭一座橋，讓「已覺」的眾生到另一邊的岸上去。 |
