Part 1
It is not difficult to understand the meaning of the word of this statement in theory, but if you want to genuinely understand it, you must look within, and focus on your own mind and spirit, and forget about everything the external world puts on you, including various forms of common sense, theory, knowledge, experience and even your physical body.
You have to use your mind and spirit to feel the world, use your mind and spirit to feel life, use your mind and spirit to feel the inherent body of life.
You must have a dialog with your own mind and spirit, and you must deduce the most simple truth from all the various apparent forms being bornand being extinguished, just like the Buddha's experience underthe-bodhi tree.
Only when you do this, will you be able to discover the inherent treasure of life, and gain the wisdom of liberation this wisdom。(page 43)

Part 2
【每日英文学习（Light英文空间2期（7））】Perhaps we should not say “gain”,because this wisdom does not depend on someone else bestowing it,nor is it a kind of discovery,nor is it something that exists apart from you—it is something that is inherently there.
So let's change how we describe it, and use the word“open( rather than“gain”):open the treasury of wisdom in your life, open the spiritual flower garden of your inner mind, open the secret code of happiness that is within you.
We can also say "discover: discover your inherent happiness, discover your inherent light of wisdom. People who cultivate practice work hard for years, but this is just to sweep the mind clean of the dirt that has accumulated over the years, and break the hard shell enclosing the mind and spirit.
This lets theirown minds become soft and supple, keen and sharp, and have a love that knows everything and tolerates everything but is not blind. This kind of love is founded on the basis of discovering inherent wisdom.
The light of this inherent wisdom is the natural spontaneous wisdom of the inherent nature of mind. It is what Buddhists call "inherent original mind, and it is also called the true mind。(page 44)

选段一
理解这句话的字面意思并不难，但想要真正明白它，你就必须向内看，关注自己的心灵，把外部世界加诸于你的一切都忘记，包括各种常识、理论、知识与经验，甚至忘记你的肉体。你要用心灵感受世界，用心灵感受生活，用心灵感受生命本身，你要跟自己的灵魂对话，你要从各种生生灭灭的现象中归纳最朴素的真理，正如佛陀在菩提树下的经历一般。唯有如此，你才能发现生命本具的宝藏，获得一种解脱的智慧。

选段二
或者我们不应该说“获得”，因为这种智慧不是依赖他人赐予的，也不是一种发明，不是脱离于你的存在，它是一种本来就在那里的东西。那么我们换一种说法，用“开启”：开启你生命的智慧宝藏，开启你内心的神秘花园，开启你内在的快乐密码；也可以说“发现”：发现你本有的快乐，发现你本有的智慧光明。修行人们经年累月地苦修，不过是为了扫干净心里的陈年污垢，打破包裹心灵的硬甲，让自己的心变得柔软、敏锐，拥有一份了知一切、宽容一切但并非盲目的爱。这种爱，是建立在发现本有智慧之基础上的，这本有的智慧光明，就是心性的自然智慧，它是佛家所说的“本元心”，也叫真心。(35页）
