4. 灵修是：
• 一种生命的途径，影响和包含存在的每一个时刻
• 它以一种默观态度，取向于一个有深度的生命，追求生命的最终意义，方向
和归宿
• 它引领我们进入存在的深处
• 让我们赤诚面对自己，面对自己的软弱，面对终极奥密
• 不少人以過度沉溺于外在的宗教熱忱，与礼仪礼节的安全程序,明知故意的
选择避免这骇人的前景，。
Spirituality is a way of life that affects and includes every moment of existence.
It is at once a contemplative attitude, a disposition to a life of depth, and the
search of ultimate meaning, direction, and belonging …. Spirituality draws us
into the depths of our being, where we come face to face with ourselves, our
weaknesses, and ultimate mystery. Many understandably prefer to avoid this
frightening prospect by sinking into external religiosity and the safe routines of
liturgy and ritual. (W. Teasdale, The Mystic Heart: Discovering a Universal
Spirituality in the World’s Religions,1999, 17-18)
