心裡不能容納一點點骯髒的東西，大仲馬曾經講過，
難的是理解別人，但最難的是理解自己，千萬不要讓自己
掉進任何的漩渦。不能有一絲一毫的業障，思維上一點雜念都不能有。
There is no place for even the minutest amount of dirt in our hearts.
Alexandre Dumas once said that it is difficult to understand others, but the
most difficult thing is to understand yourself.Never allow yourself to fall into any trap.
Never allow the least karmic obstacle to take form, nor harbour any
unwholesome thoughts in your mind。

想修成菩薩身，要記住幾個基本要點：
1.菩薩不見人過，菩薩永遠看不見人家的過失和過錯。
2.只管耕耘，不問收穫。3.無心。無心就是說你不瞋恨，沒有煩惱，無障礙。
菩薩並不是真的無心，而是以眾生之心為己心，眾生的心就是菩薩的心。
Those who aspire to be a Bodhisattva must bear the following key points in mind:
1. Bodhisattvas are oblivious to the flaws and faults of others.
2. Remain steadfast in cultivating without expecting anything in return.
3. Have no mind.That is, have no anger, no afflictions and no obstructions.
It is not that Bodhisattvas have no minds, but that they take the minds of other
sentient beings as their own.The minds of sentient beings are the minds of Bodhisattvas。
122.
郭子儀的故事：對自己的下屬好，禮賢下士，
只要心術正，不管發生什麼，菩薩都會來管。
This is the advice of Guo Ziyi (one of the most
powerful generals in China’s Tang Dynasty):Treat your
subordinates well.Respect virtuous and knowledgeable people
even if they hold lower positions.As long as you are morally upright,
the Bodhisattva will take care of you no matter what happens。
123.
把菩薩放在心中，可以消災解難。
When there is a place in your heart for the Bodhisattva,
you are able to ward off calamities and surmount difficulties。
124.
腦子裡要乾淨，把觀世音菩薩看在心裡，進入腦海裡，
雜念就沒有了。如果有雜念，觀世音菩薩法相進不了你的心。
一看菩薩，什麼雜念都沒有了。檢驗心裡有沒有雜念、乾不乾淨，
如果拉不住自己的思維，你就會有修不正的心。磕頭不要去想任何人，
否則一磕頭，就會有雜念。學會坐下，靜下來，腦子裡可能殘存10%的私念，
但菩薩應佔據 80%的空間。磕頭時，腦子裡只有觀世音菩薩，看不到前面
磕頭的人，想不到後面的人，跪下去，整個宇宙都只有自己，這才叫心靜。
When you keep a clean mind and look at a statue of Guan Yin Bodhisattva
mindfully, there will be no distracting thoughts in your mind.If your mind is
full of distracting thoughts, there is no way for Guan Yin Bodhisattva to enter
your heart.The moment you look at the statue of the Bodhisattva, all the distracting
thoughts will be gone.Examine your mind to see if it is distracted and unclean.If you
are unable to rein in your wandering thoughts, there is no way you can cultivate your mind
well.When you bow in prayer, do not think of anyone.Otherwise, distracting thoughts
will emerge.Learn to sit down and calm your mind.Then your mind should be left
with only ten per cent selfish thoughts while eighty per cent of the room in
your mind is occupied by the Bodhisattva.When you bow, you should
only have Guan Yin Bodhisattva in your mind, becoming oblivious
to the people bowing in front of you or behind you.When you
kneel down, there is no one else except you in the universe.
This is what we call quietness of the mind。
125.
讓自己內心慈悲的獨白擋掉心裡的魔障，細菌進來，要用正能量擋掉。
Fend off an inner demon using the internal monologue derived
from your inherent compassion.When bacteria make their
way into your body, ward them off with positive energy。
126.
成佛之道在於精進，在於開悟，在於忍辱。
開開心心，同樣做一件事情，境界不一樣，心態就會不一樣。
The prerequisites for attaining Buddhahood are diligence,
awakening and forbearance.Adopt a positive attitude no matter what you do.
The frame of mind is different because the level of spiritual development differs。
127.
感恩菩薩，一切都感恩當中，
心中就不會有恨；一切活在感恩中，會特別幸福。
Be grateful to the Bodhisattva.When one’s heart is
filled with gratitude, there is no room for hatred.When we live our
lives with feelings of gratitude, we will be blessed with happiness and joy。
