Part 1
People who like suspicion and doubt always give a utilitarian interpretation to the behavior of others.
For example when they see someone else encouraging good conduct, they think that the person must have ulterior motives he cannot tell people about.
In fact, what the suspicious person sees is not the other person's motives, but rather his own suspicious mind.
This is because theworld as seen in each person's eyes is the manifestation of that person's mind and spirit.（page 139)
Part 2
Completely indiscriminate faith is a deluded kind of faith, akin to superstition.
People with deluded faith entrust liberation to things outside the mind.
They think that their own liberation must depend on other people, or must depend on worshipping certain people or certain things, or worshipping this or that god or spirit.
They completely fail to consider what they themselves must do and act like slaves.
Nowadays there are many people with deluded faith. and they do not understand that liberation is their own task.(page 140)

选段一：
喜欢猜疑的人，总会给别人的行为套上一种功利化的原因。比如，看到别人劝善，他们就认为劝善者有着不可告人的目的。他会想，世界上真的有解脱吗？真的有六道轮回吗？你是不是想利用人们的信任，来对他们进行精神控制？当你告诉他，布施是世界上最伟大的赚钱秘密时，他还认为你是想骗他的钱。事实上，他看到的并不是别人的动机，而是自己怀疑的心。因为，每个人眼中的世界，都是他们心灵的显现.（114页）
选段二：
毫无选择的信，是一种迷信。迷信者将解脱寄托于心外之物。他们认为，自己的解脱要靠别人，或崇拜某人某物，或崇拜这个神那个仙，全然不考虑自己应该做什么，一副奴才模样。现在有大量迷信者，他们不明白解脱是自己的事，别人吃饭饱不了自己。（114-115页）
