一個沒有智慧的人,因為他的煩惱太多;
一個沒有煩惱的人,他的智慧一定是充裕的。
A person who is troubled by too many afflictions is devoid
of wisdom.A person who is devoid of afflictions is full of wisdom。

34.
真正的開悟是懂得捨得,真正的開悟是理解。無是獲得有的基礎。
A truly awakened person readily performs the act of giving.
True spiritual awakening is understanding the truth of life.
Only after we have nothing will we start having something.
When someone has no afflictions, they start gaining wisdom。

人生最大的財產是身體健康,一個人有痛苦的身體,即使
擁有財富享受財富時也是痛苦的擁有,人生知足就是財富;
人生最大的勝利就是不生氣、不恨、不瞋,別人拿你沒辦法;
人生最大的成就就是放下執著、悠然自得、智慧充滿、笑看人生。
Physical health is the biggest asset in life.If we suffer from ill health,
we will live a wretched life even if we enjoy abundant wealth.Wealthy is
one who is contented.The biggest victory we can achieve in life is to not be
angry, or resentful.In doing so, no one can upset you.The biggest achievement
in life is to be able to let go of attachment, have peace of mind, be full
of wisdom and view the vicissitudes of life with equanimity。

36.
改變自己才是放下,修心學佛才能得人間淨土。
Only when we change ourselves can we let go;
only when we cultivate our minds and practise
Buddhism can we make this world a pure land。

37.
學佛人應正信,交友要謹慎,過多交友,參差不齊,有時會有害無益。
學佛人要交好朋友,要交善知識,心中有佛、廣結善緣、遠離惡緣。
We as Buddhist practitioners should cultivate the right faith and
be cautious in making friends.Having too many acquaintances of
varied quality may do us more harm than good.We should associate
with worthy friends;the virtuous and the high-minded.We should nurture
the Buddha nature in our hearts, be connected to positive affinities
and keep negative affinities at arm’s length。

38.
在人間每天會發生各種幸與不幸的事情,平安就是福,
平安時要懂得珍惜,要培養善解的好心態,那就是佛的心態。
Fortunes and misfortunes are vicissitudes of life.Being safe and
well is a blessing which we should cherish at all times.
Instil into ourselves a forgiving state of mind.
This is the Buddha’s state of mind。

39.
心中的長明燈不熄,才能照亮彼岸之路。
An ever-burning lamp in our heart
will illuminate the path to enlightenment。

40.
生命的真實性,就是人間過路客。
We are merely visitors in the world;
such is the reality of life。
