Belief 信仰
信仰不需要证明,也不能被证明。
Belief does not need verifying and it is beyond our power to verify it.
需要证明(他物外证)的信不是真信。
Any belief is not pious that needs verifying.
人能证明的,不能给人信。
Anything that can be verified can’t convince people into cherishing the conviction.
佛是自证自明的,信也是自证自明的。
Buddha is self-evident, as is belief.
如光自明,黑暗不能为光作证明,颠倒迷惑的众生,如何证明佛、证明法?只有信。
If light is luminous itself,dark fails to verify it. Similarly, how can the confused sentient beings verify Buddha or Dharma? It is belief that can do this.
