革心即是自解心非,知非始能改惡行善。
毀譽無憑由他去,榮枯有運莫尤人;能知隱晦心常泰,不戀繁華心自真。

憨山大師,法名德清,字澄印,明代「四大高僧」之一,俗姓蔡,全椒(安徽)人。
明中葉,自明宣宗至明穆宗共一百多年,佛教個宗派都衰微不振,自明神宗萬曆時期,佛教中名僧輩出,形成了佛教在中國重新復興的繁榮景象,憨山,雲栖(即袾宏),紫柏(即真可),蕅益(即智旭)四高僧便是其中的佼佼者。
憨 山十九歲出家,到栖霞山學習禪法,後又學淨土宗的念佛法門。此後,憨山雲游各地,名聲也越來越大,萬曆元年(1573),他來到五臺山,喜愛五臺山的憨山 神奇秀麗,便以此為號。明萬曆十四年,明神宗把《大藏經》十五部送給天下名山寺廟,太后將其中一部送給正在東海牢山(青島嶗山)的憨山,朝廷在牢山建立海 印寺,特請憨山主持。萬曆二十三年,憨山因「私修」廟宇獲罪,被充軍到廣東雷州,他在廣東繼續弘揚禪宗,並到六祖慧能的曹溪寶林寺說法,主張禪宗與華嚴宗 融合,佛,道,儒三教合一,為當時人們所贊同。憨山在粵五年,竟明滿大江南北。
隨後,憨山獲准回牢山海印寺,著有《法華經通義》,《莊子內篇註》等十餘種,涉及佛,道,儒三教,其門徒還匯篇了《憨山夢遊集》五十五卷,《憨山語錄》二十卷,憨山於天啟三年(1623)年圓寂。享年七十八歲。

善導大師(613-681)是唐代盛弘淨土教的一代宗師。(安徽泗州人)。(一說臨淄(今山東臨淄縣)人)。俗姓朱,十歲時即跟從密州(今山東省諸城 縣)。的明勝法師出家,歸心向佛。初時學習三論宗的經典,間中常有讀誦《法華》、《維摩》諸經。如是經歷數年的靜心修學後,佛學修養漸見提升。然而,慧根 深厚的善導大師並不自滿,常自思維:佛教法門甚為廣大,教藏經典其數無量,若不契機,功即徒使。應當擇一法門,潛心修學方為上策。之後依止妙開律師受具足 戒已,偶入藏經樓中,于藏經前默禱祈願佛力加被,指導所向。即於經中信手取得一卷,乃是《觀無量壽經》,大為欣喜,自言:“何當托質蓮台,棲神淨土?”便 即常依是經潛修十六觀門,恒諦思維西方勝境。數載之後,觀想功夫已臻深妙之境,常於定中備觀極樂世界的樓閣、金台、寶池等境,如現目前,由是更加堅定了修 學淨土法門的信願。

The relationship between the community of monk and the laity is also reciprocal. While the lay followers furnish the temporal needs of the monks, they in turn fulfill the spiritual needs of the laity. Moreover, they are entrusted with the task of educating them in order to widen their mental outlook.

The laity should minister to them by five factors. They are as follows
The community of monks (clergy) has the obligation to care for the laity by six factors.
