No Ajahn Chah《192》

《192》你必須親身去體驗「法」。所謂的親身體驗是去身體力行。在于道上，你只能依賴老師百分之五十。縱使我給你們的教導值得聽，可是它本身都是毫無意義的。但是，如果因為是我說的，所以你就全盤相信，你便是沒有正確地實踐我所教的；如果你全然相信，那麼你就不明智了。我們必須去聽聞教導、明了其利益、親自去身體力行、由你的內心親自去體會，這才是大有用處。

You must know the Dhamma for yourself. To know for yourself means to practice for yourself. You can depend on a teacher only fifty percent of the way. Even the teaching I have given you is completely useless in itself, even if it is worth hearing. But if you were to believe it all just because I said so, you wouldn』t be using the teaching properly. If you believed me completely, then you』d be foolish. To hear the teaching, see its benefits, put it into practice for yourself, see it within yourself … this is much more useful.
