    佛陀灭度的时候，阿难尊者问：佛在世以佛为师，佛灭度后以何为住，以谁为师？佛答：以四念处为住，以戒律为师。四念处是四个安顿心念的处所。身念处，观身不净；受念处，观受是苦；心念处，观心无常；法念处，观法无我。僧团的管理，一个方面是讲修心、修行；另一个方面是讲戒律、寺规，规范思想、言论、行为。这样简单而高效地实现了僧团的长久、和合管理。“以戒为师，以四念处为住”是佛教长久传播、兴旺发达的秘诀。

    Dharma Talk by Venerable Master Renda: #Abide in the places of Four Mindfulnesses and take precepts as teacher# When Buddha was about to enter nirvana, Anada asked, "When Buddha is in this world, we take Buddha as our teacher, after Buddha enter nirvana, where shall we abide? Who should we take as teacher?" Buddha answered, "Abide in the places of Four Mindfulnesses and take precepts as your teacher." Four Mindfulnesses are four places to settle down your mind. The place of body mindfulnees, to view the body as impurity; the place of feeling mindfulness, to view the feeling as suffering; the mind mindfulness, to view the thougths as impermanent; the place of Dharma mindfulness, to view the Dharma as non-self. The management of Sangha, on the one hand, emphasizes the practice of the mind; on the other hand, values precepts and monastery rules, to manage thoughts, speech and behaviors. In this way, the long-lasting and harmonious management of sangha is achieved simply and efficiently. "Take precepts as teacher and abide in the places of Four Mindfulnesses" is the secret of lasting promotion and prosperity of Buddhism.
