【心理学是什么？】
What Is the Study of the Mind?
心理学是无穷无尽的，是无欠无余的。所谓“心包太虚，量周沙界”，这都是心的作用。
我们人要知道，心的作用虽然极广大、尽精微，可是我们先要由这个微细处来省察、来学
习；你微细处若不明白，你就没有法子明白这个广大精微的理论。
The mind is infinite and inexhaustible. It is neither excessive nor deficient.
As it is said, ‘The mind encompasses all of space and pervades worlds as man
y as the sand grains of the Ganges River.’ This is the function of the mind.
However, we must realize that although the mind's function is vast and subtle
to the absolute extreme, we must first examine and study its minute aspects. I
f we don't understand the minute aspects, we won't be able to understand the v
ast and subtle principles.
所以我们必须要明白心理造成的业感。你有什么心理就受什么果报，你种善因就结善果，
种恶因就结恶果。什么叫善因？就是善念。你起个善念，这是善因；你起个恶念，这是恶
因。
Therefore, we must understand how every mental state creates a karmic response
. Whatever mental state you have, you’ll receive whatever retribution. If you
plant a good cause, you'll receive a good fruition. If you plant a bad cause,
you'll receive a bad result. What is a good cause? It's a good thought. When
a good thought arises in your mind, that’s a good cause. When you have a bad
thought, then that's a bad cause. (revised by Katherine Wang and reviewed by M
