Communication and Boundaries
Does understanding something inwardly but being unable to explain mean I do not truly understand?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
Not necessarily. You may not yet have clarified it fully, or may know inwardly without familiarity expressing it. Eloquence alone cannot determine understanding or cultivation.
Inviting students to record also offers practice. Future teachers helping others need to convey meaning understandably, beyond personal feelings. Speaking can reveal remaining uncertainties to study again.
Expression needs experience too. If words fail once, try again and gradually organise thoughts. Many recorded episodes developed my ability through repeated sharing. The expectation is willingness to learn and practise, not perfect first performance.
