何必靜室
Why a Quiet Room?
世人誦經多覓靜室，殊不知堅誠全在於心，而不在於境也。本心若靜，雖居閙市叢中，亦是深山僻地。試看吾儒善讀書者，蓬門圭竇，掛角而讀，帶經而鋤，竟以成功，何在書房之靜乎？
People often seek a quiet room to recite scriptures, not realizing that true sincerity lies entirely in the mind, not in the environment. If your mind is at peace, even amidst a bustling market, it is as calm as a remote mountain. Observe those who are skilled at reading—they study in humble huts, read while tending cattle, and recite scriptures while plowing. They achieve great success—when has a quiet study ever been necessary?
