聰明和智慧的區別在哪裡？

網友：什麼是聰明，什麼是智慧呢？它們的區別在哪裡？請法師指點！

學誠法師：聰明是反應機敏，智慧是懂得抉擇。小聰明一時得利，大智慧獲益長遠。

Q:Master, what is cleverness and what is wisdom? Could you tell me how they differ from each other?

A:Cleverness means reacting in an adept manner and wisdom means knowing how to make choices. A clever person gains something temporarily, while a wise person gains long-term benefit.

網友：請問法師，如何能提高智慧呢？

學誠法師：凡事為自己考慮，只能生出機巧；放下自我私利，為更多人謀福利時，才能生出智慧。心量越大，智慧越深。

Q:Master, please tell me how to increase wisdom.

A:When acting selfishly, one becomes crafty; when letting go of self-interest and aiming for the benefit of others, one becomes wise. A broader mind means more profound wisdom.

網友：法師您好，沒有選擇就沒有煩惱，請問法師您是如何看待選擇的呢？

學誠法師：煩惱不是來源於選擇，而是因為缺乏智慧。看不清楚岔路的方向，是因為高度不夠。

Q:Venerable Master! Where there is no choice, there is no affliction! May I ask your opinion of making choices?

A:Affliction does not originate from choices. It is, however, due to lack of wisdom. When you are not able to tell directions at an intersection, it is because of lack of vision.

網友：學誠法師，一直聽到有法師說開智慧，搞到最後自己還是沒有明白所謂的「開智慧」到底是什麼。您怎麼看呢？開智慧有何好處？

學誠法師：智慧就是懂得如何抉擇。有智慧，就有自在。

Q:Venerable Master, although many masters have instructed on 「cultivating wisdom,」 still I feel confused about what on earth it is. Master, what』s your view on it? What are the benefits of cultivating wisdom?

A:Wisdom is the ability to make the right choices. If one has wisdom, he or she will always be at ease.

網友：心田不長無明草，性地常開智慧花。問題是老是長草，那該怎麼辦？

學誠法師：多種花，擠占草的生存空間。

Q:When the mind is free of ignorance, wisdom will be in full blossom.The thing is, ignorance is like a weed that keeps on growing. So what should I do?

A:Plant more flowers to take over the space that is otherwise taken over by weeds.

網友：法師，請問怎麼樣才能夠變得有智慧，破除煩惱，明心見性？為什麼總是一點小事就讓自己心生煩惱？智慧也跟福報有關係嗎？具體要怎麼做？謝謝您！

學誠法師：福能養慧，多培福報。親近善知識，研閱大乘經典，聞思佛法，法隨法行。

Q:Venerable Master, how does one acquire wisdom to be free from afflictions and to understand and see our true nature? Why am I troubled even by some trivialities? Does wisdom have anything to do with blessings? Could you tell me what I should do? Thank you!

A:One s blessings can nourish one』s wisdom, therefore, you need to cultivate blessings. This can be done by following virtuous teachers, studying Mahayana sutras, listening to, reflecting upon and practicing the Dharma accordingly.
