"The ancients carved Buddhas out of reverence, leaving masterpieces that would last for thousands of years in desert cliffs. But when modern people sculpt the Buddha, the desires for personal advantage and bolstering reputations come into play."
「古人雕佛，因一心虔敬，所以能在大漠絕壁的石窟中，留下千年傑作；現代人雕佛，摻雜功名利祿，難免顯得做作。」
