Part 1
People who like suspicion and doubt always give a utilitarian interpretation to the behavior of others.
For example when they see someone else encouraging good conduct, they think that the person must have ulterior motives he cannot tell people about.
In fact, what the suspicious person sees is not the other person's motives, but rather his own suspicious mind.
This is because theworld as seen in each person's eyes is the manifestation of that person's mind and spirit.（page 139)
Part 2
Completely indiscriminate faith is a deluded kind of faith, akin to superstition.
People with deluded faith entrust liberation to things outside the mind.
They think that their own liberation must depend on other people, or must depend on worshipping certain people or certain things, or worshipping this or that god or spirit.
They completely fail to consider what they themselves must do and act like slaves.
Nowadays there are many people with deluded faith. and they do not understand that liberation is their own task.(page 140)

選段一：
喜歡猜疑的人，總會給別人的行為套上一種功利化的原因。比如，看到別人勸善，他們就認為勸善者有著不可告人的目的。他會想，世界上真的有解脫嗎？真的有六道輪回嗎？你是不是想利用人們的信任，來對他們進行精神控制？當你告訴他，布施是世界上最偉大的賺錢秘密時，他還認為你是想騙他的錢。事實上，他看到的并不是別人的動機，而是自己懷疑的心。因為，每個人眼中的世界，都是他們心靈的顯現(xiàn).（114頁）
選段二：
毫無選擇的信，是一種迷信。迷信者將解脫寄托于心外之物。他們認為，自己的解脫要靠別人，或崇拜某人某物，或崇拜這個神那個仙，全然不考慮自己應該做什么，一副奴才模樣?，F(xiàn)在有大量迷信者，他們不明白解脫是自己的事，別人吃飯飽不了自己。（114-115頁）
