以「慈心、悲心」看待一切，就是通達咒語的精華之道
Treating all with kindness and compassion is the essential way of mastering the mantrayana. (by Garchen Rinpoche)
我們看到現今社會，有些人遇到生活上的挫折或生命中的苦難時，回應的方式往往是很激烈的，例如以炸彈殺人或自我了結。這就表示那些人並未看清內心本質真相的缺憾。若他們能看清心的本質為何，並以慈心和悲心去對待的話，也許會有不同的結果。
以慈心悲心來看待所有一切，是我們能直接通達咒語意義的根本價值所在。因此，透過這樣的了悟與修法，我們能夠觀想整個世界就是極樂世界，男眾都是觀音，女眾都是度母。這個地球上有幾十億人，但能夠了解慈心與悲心價值的人，是極其少數的。然而在這極其少數之中，只要有一個人可以藉此想法來利益其他眾生，也能展開極其廣大的利益。所以，要思維慈心與悲心的利益，來修持咒語。若能把握此點來修儀軌，即使對生起次第的修法沒有很深刻的認識，也能產生很大的功德利益。

Treating all with kindness and compassion is the essential way of mastering the mantrayana. (by Garchen Rinpoche)
Many people, when faced with frustration and difficulties, respond in very drastic way, duch as killing people with bomb or killing oneself. This shows the shortage that they have not realized the true nature of their mind. If they could see the nature of the mind and face everything with kindness and compassion, the outcome might be different.
Treating all with kindness and compassion is the essential way of mastering the mantrayana.
Through such realization and practice, we can visualize this world as pure land; all men are Chenresiz and all women are Tara.
There are several billion people on earth but only very few understand the value of kindness and compassion. However, among these few, if only one can benefit other beings with such thought, he/she can develop tremendous merit.
Therefore, we need to recite the mantra with the thought of the benefit of kindness and compassion. If we can hold on to this key point to practice the saddhana, we can generate huge merits even though we do not have deep understanding of the creation stage.
