學佛人每做一件事,都要反問自己,做的是否如理如法;
每一句話都要看能否幫助別人,這就叫“悟性”。

what we are doing is appropriate and whether what
we are saying is of any help to others.This is what
we call having ‘the potential for awakening’。

都要當回事,否則你就不是學佛人。
We should take what other people say
or care about seriously.Failing this means

學佛人要多做感動別人的事,
多說感動別人的話,口吐蓮花就是菩薩。
As Buddhist practitioners, we should do more
deeds and say things which touch the hearts of others.

untold suffering will be thoroughly awakened。

每天給自己找快樂的事,就會戰勝心中的痛苦。
You can conquer the suffering in your heart by
looking for something to make you happy every day。
