对骗子短暂的慈悲可能会助长他们不劳而获的习气，如果拒绝施舍可以促使他们改变，从而走上正道不是更好么？
Temporary compassion for deceivers may reinforce their habit of getting something for nothing. Wouldn’t it be better if refusal to give could prompt them to change and get on the right path?
首先要有利益众生的悲悯心，进一步才会思考如何去利益众生。慈悲心是自己的心，不是外在的行为。慈悲柔软了自己的心，外在的行为可以根据因缘灵活多变。对于大多数人来说，恰恰是缺乏慈悲心，一味在外相上去计较分别。
First of all, we must develop compassion for all sentient beings, and then we can think about how to benefit them all. Compassion is an internal instead of external behavior. With compassion softening our own hearts, we can flexibly adjust our extrinsic actions according to causes and conditions. For most of us, it is precisely the lack of compassion within that makes us blindly focus on differentiation among external appearances.
社会上有些拐卖集团经常将一些儿童弄成残废后放在街上乞讨，我们就算以慈悲心、结善缘心给予儿童施舍，可能反令拐卖集团觉得此举有利可图，更多的拐卖伤害儿童，行乞牟利。坊间对于施还是不施也各执一词，我们该如何看待这个问题呢？
Some trafficking groups often cripple children and then leave them begging on the streets. Even if we give alms to those children with loving-kindness and compassion in order to make good connections, the trafficking groups may find it profitable in abducting, selling, harming, and forcing more children to beg for profit. People on the street have different opinions on it, sticking to their own arguments regarding whether to give or not in such situations. How should we look at this problem?
在不圆满的因缘条件下，无论做什么事情，都很难得到现前、究竟、各方面都满意的结果，站在不同的角度，看法就有所不同，万事万物都是如此，如果总是在这个层面去考虑问题，就容易矛盾、想不开。不管如何做，都要明白自己这样做的意义是什么。宗旨清明，行为才会有力。
Under the imperfect set of causes and conditions, it is very difficult to get an immediate, ultimate, and all-around satisfactory result no matter what you do. There are different points of view from different perspective. This is true of everything. If you always consider problems this way, you are liable to be in contradiction and confusion. Whatever you do, you have to understand what you are doing for. With clear purpose, your action can be powerful.
