人不講理是個大缺點,人硬講理是個大盲點。
Not being reasonable is a flaw, while insisting
on reasoning alone makes us miss the forest for the trees。
10.
學佛人要清心寡欲,一個人欲望越多越不能滿足自己的欲望。
我們要樂天知命,要透過學佛來改變自己,要學會無所求。
As Buddhist practitioners, we need to purify our hearts and
reduce our desires.The more desires we have, the less likely we are
to ever satisfy all our desires.We should learn to be content with what
we have, to change ourselves through practising Buddhism,
and to learn to ask for nothing。

人在吃苦的時候,就是在消孽障,轉換業力。
When life gets difficult, keep in mind that we are experiencing the amount of suffering we were destined to go
through, therefore transforming our karma for a better future。
12.
要明白,人生就像坐火車,很快就會到終點,生命短暫,人生很苦。要“觀身不淨,觀心無常”。
Life is like a journey on a train that will reach its destination soon.
It is short and bitter.Hence, we must contemplate our bodies
as impure and our thoughts as impermanent。
13.
我們現在擁有的,才是最值得我們珍惜的東西,過去的早已經過去,
而未來的還沒有得到,所以我們要擁有現在、忘記過去、
展望未來,心才會像大海般的寬廣無邊。
What we have today is most precious.
The past is already gone and the future isyet to come.
Therefore, we must seize the present moment, leave the past behind,
and look forward to the future.Only then will our hearts
be like the ocean — vast and boundless。
14.
一個人如果整天講是是非非,實際上他自身已經被是非所纏繞,離不開是非。
Those who cannot stop gossiping about others are already entangled
in gossip.They will become the subject of gossip and not get rid of it。
15.
一個人要學會自然,一切都自然來自然去,就能斷煩惱。破無明的智慧,就是般若。
Learn to let nature take its course;let all things in life
come and gonaturally.In this way, we can be free from afflictions.
Prajna is the wisdom attained with the mind that is free from ignorance。
16.
惜福者,智者。越來越珍惜福分的人,越來
越有智慧;越來越有智慧的人,菩薩常伴在身邊!
The wise always cherish their blessings.
The more they cherish their blessings, the wiser
they become.Bodhisattvas will always be by their side。
