《心经》
觀自在菩薩
「觀」，是定下了心, 是指“心境平和"，“态度冷静” 思想的时候。(「觀」Guān, means a settled heart and when one is in the state of mind which is peace and calm)
「自在」，是"無可"和"無不可"的自在，是一种心态，"有也可以" 即使 "没有也可以" 的一种心态, 应该不是讲 "自由", 而是讲来自内心的 "自由自在 "。因为这种 "自由" 是不肯受拘束的，但往往我们的環境是不如我们的意思，便苦了自己。獨有"自在"，是无处不安，自然地不受環境所困，一切好壞隨緣。(「自在」Zìzài, is a state of mind of which "with" or "without" is accepted in the hearts and mind, it is "free at last from within" and no more worldly bindings. The surroundings will no longer affect us anymore. )
「菩薩」，是"菩提薩埵" (梵文 "Bodhisattva") 的簡稱 Bodhi（菩提）意為「覺悟」, Satto 或 Sattva (薩埵) 意為「有情」; 漢語的意思為 "覺悟的有情眾生" , 能自己覺悟，再能覺悟它人的謂之"菩薩"。(「菩薩」Púsà, is from Sanskrit "Bodhisattva" in short "Bodhi" or 「in the State of Self-Realization」, when the one who had attained self realization, then only one can assist others in attaining realization is called 「菩薩」.
