【心理學是什麼？】
What Is the Study of the Mind?
心理學是無窮無盡的，是無欠無餘的。所謂「心包太虛，量周沙界」，這都是心的作用。
我們人要知道，心的作用雖然極廣大、盡精微，可是我們先要由這個微細處來省察、來學
習；你微細處若不明白，你就沒有法子明白這個廣大精微的理論。
The mind is infinite and inexhaustible. It is neither excessive nor deficient.
As it is said, ‘The mind encompasses all of space and pervades worlds as man
y as the sand grains of the Ganges River.’ This is the function of the mind.
However, we must realize that although the mind's function is vast and subtle
to the absolute extreme, we must first examine and study its minute aspects. I
f we don't understand the minute aspects, we won't be able to understand the v
ast and subtle principles.
所以我們必須要明白心理造成的業感。你有什麼心理就受什麼果報，你種善因就結善果，
種惡因就結惡果。什麼叫善因？就是善念。你起個善念，這是善因；你起個惡念，這是惡
因。
Therefore, we must understand how every mental state creates a karmic response
. Whatever mental state you have, you’ll receive whatever retribution. If you
plant a good cause, you'll receive a good fruition. If you plant a bad cause,
you'll receive a bad result. What is a good cause? It's a good thought. When
a good thought arises in your mind, that’s a good cause. When you have a bad
thought, then that's a bad cause. (revised by Katherine Wang and reviewed by M
