达赖喇嘛的人生智慧：转念

“四依”的佛教信条刚好可以应用在聪慧的修行方法上。这些信条如下：
依循教导的讯息，而不是教师本人； 依循意义，而不是言词； 依循确切的意义，不是暂时的意义； 依循你的智慧之心， 而非常识之心。

"We should follow the teaching, not because of the grand name of the master;
We should follow the meaning of the words, not the words itself;
We should follow the real meaning, not the temporary one;
We should rely on our own experience and enlightenment, not the worldly meaning."
