今天去看了佛光山西来寺，非常地喜欢，但还是不满足。喜欢的是建筑美，文物美，书籍丰富，但缺乏高雅艺术，脱俗的精神. 比较中国大陆，还是好许多. 有许多教育，德，美，人生观，只有高尚家庭会教. 外界指责中国人缺乏精神信仰，只顾追名逐利。这是以社会，民族，国家，集体，整体凝聚向上的力量，是精神的力量. 中国文化偏重人与人相处，不是凝聚向上对神. 中国文化重味觉，少视觉，缺数学科学精神. 中国近年来建立了许多大佛，供人膜拜. 烧香，抄经，不是信仰也非精神生活.

I went to see Hsi Lai Temple today, I like it very much, but I am still not satisfied. I like the beauty of architecture, the beauty of art and literature, the richness of books, but the lack of elegant art and the spirit of refineness. Compared with mainland China, it is still much better. There are many educations, virtues, beauty, and view of life, only noble families would teach. The outside world accuses Chinese of lacking of spiritual beliefs, only pursuing the title and profit. This is the strength of the society, the nation, the country, the collective, the whole, and the strength of the spirit. Chinese culture is biased towards relationship between people, not cohesive and up to God. Chinese culture has a sense of taste, less vision, lacking the spirit of mathematics. China in recent years, has established many large Buddhas for people to worship. However burning incense, copying bibles, is really not a true belief or a spiritual life.

小时候读佛经故事，听讲道. 这是大道理，让人有智慧，懂人生，让社会和谐. 中国的佛地，只让人进香收钱，不传知识，不授教育. 再宏伟的佛，大众心灵还是空虚的. 曾经看过日本动画“佛陀”, 感悟良深，如果有钱，我想把佛经故事，及佛教历史画成一系列动画，在所有的寺庙放映. 这儿，老师带着小孩子们来学习，真好。今天最好的展览是寺庙的地宫舍利子，还有广西的民族服饰，真漂亮啊. 可绘画作品，书法，太糟糕，三流都算不上. 国内是不是也可以把印度的日本的，泰国柬埔寨等的雕像，绘画服饰等拿来巡迥展览，放宗教人性的影片，开班教学，让小朋友学会生活，有道德，有组织团队精神.

When I was a child, I read the story of the Buddhist s**tures and listened to the sermons. This is a rationale that makes people wise, understands life, and makes the society harmonious. The Buddha temple in China only allows people to donate money, not to pass on knowledge, not to teach. No matter what a magnificent Buddha, the public minds are still empty. I have seen Japanese anime "Buddha" and I feel good and deep of its thoughts. If I have money, I want to make the sutra story and Buddhist history into a series of animations and show them in all the temples. Here, the teacher is learning with the children, it is good. Today's best exhibition is the temple's relics, and the national costumes of Guangxi. It's so beautiful. Yet paintings, calligraphy, are too bad, not counted as third-rate. Can you also bring statues and paintings, etc. from India，Japan, Thailand Cambodia for tour exhibitions? To show religious humanity films, to start classes, to let children learn to live, to have morality, and to organize team spirit?
