為了目的、為了回饋而做事，是世間的方法，可是，在佛法裡，我們不為任何收穫而做事。可是，如果我們什麼都不要的話，我們得到什麼呢？我們什麼也得不到！不論我們得到什麼，都只是苦的起因，所以我們練習不去得任何東西，只是讓心平靜下來，這就夠了。
The worldly way is to do things for a reason, to get something in return, but in Buddhism we do things without any idea of gain. But if we don’t want anything at all, what will we get? We don’t get anything! Whatever we get is just a cause for suffering, so we practice not getting anything. Just make the mind peaceful and have done with it.
