The Buddhist images, relics, bells, drums, wooden fish, and banners used in temples, which are considered objects of superstition by ignorant people, are actually the tools used to polish and clean the human mind. If the human mind is inherently pure and bright, why is there a need for Buddha images much less wooden fish?
現在寺院裡的佛像、舍利子、鐘鼓魚磬、香花幢幡，無知的人目為是迷信的東西，卻正是磨洗心靈的工具，如果心靈完全清明，佛像也可以不要了，何況是木魚呢？
