In the beginning, all things are hopeful. We prepare ourselves to start anew. Though we may be intent on the magnificent journey ahead, all things are contained in the frst moment：our optimism, our faith, our resolution, our innocence.
In order to start, we must make a decision. The decision is a commitment to daily self-cultivation. We must make a strong connection to our inner selves. Outside matters are superfluous. Alone and naked, we negotiate all of life's travails. Therefore, we alone must make something of ourselves, transforming ourselves into the instruments for experiencing the deepest spiritual essence of life.
Once we make our decision, all things will come to us. Auspicious signs are not a superstition, but a confrmation. They are a response. It is said that if one chooses to pray to a rock with enough devotion, even that rock will come alive. In the same way, once wechoose to commit ourselves to spiritual practice, even the mountains and valleys will reverberate to the sound of our decision.
在起點，一切都滿懷希望。我們準備重新開始。雖然我們的目標是前方瑰麗的旅程，但我們的一切希望——樂觀、信念、決心和直率，都包含在開始的那一刻。
為了開始，我們應先作好決定。這一決定是我們日常自我修養的一種承諾。我們要使它與自己的內心建立一種密切的聯係。除此之外的事都是多餘的。我們終生勞碌，最終孤獨而**地離去。所以，一定要有所作為，那樣可以引導我們去體會生活中最深層的精神實質。
一旦我們下定決心，所有的事情就會接連不斷地發生。吉兆並非迷信，而是對事情的肯定預測，是事物的反應。據說，若有人虔誠地向岩石祈禱，岩石便會被賦予生命。同樣，若我們堅定於自己的精神之旅，即使高山和峽穀也會回應我們堅定的呼聲。

任何事情都有好的時機，不要隨意錯過。
