人的形象早晚會衰退,人的智慧卻是永遠長流的,所以要去除我相。
Sooner or later our image will decline but our wisdom remains
forever.Hence, we should get rid of our attachment to the self。

122.
別人不好,我們不能落井下石;別人好,我們要隨喜讚歎。
別人說你不好,我們要忍辱精進;別人說你好,我們不能貢高我慢。
When someone is down and out, we mustn’t rub salt into their wounds.
We need to rejoice when seeing others in good times.When someone says
something bad about us, we must exercise forbearance and diligence.
When someone speaks well of us, we must avoid becoming arrogant。

123.在人間把心修成慈悲心,才能回到天上;
如果有貪瞋癡,一生什麼境界也沒有。
While in the human realm, train your
heart to be compassionate so that you can
return to heaven.If you still harbour greed, hatred and
delusion, you will not achieve any level of spirituality in this life。

124.
感恩就是珍惜,珍惜就是感恩。
To be grateful is to cherish;
to cherish is to be grateful。

125.
一個懺悔才能改變,不懺悔哪有機會改變。
We can only change ourselves by repenting.
There is no chance for us to change without repentance。

126.
道德可以填補智慧的缺陷,但智慧不可以填補道德的缺陷。
Morality can be used to make up for the inadequacy of our wisdom,
but wisdom cannot be used to make up for the inadequacy of our morality。

127.
雖然我們是有情眾生,但我們必須把有情眾生看淡,我們要看穿
這個世界,因為這個世界什麼都帶不走,人跟人之間的感情根本不能永隨。
Though we are human beings with emotions, we must treat feelings with
equanimity.As we can’t take with us anything from the mortal world,
we must look beyond it.Human relationships are not eternal。

128.
有一個父親跟自己的孩子說:“我很愛你,但我要把你送得遠遠的,
這樣等到我死的時候你才不會太傷心。”這就是父親的慈愛。
A father said to his son, “I love you very much but I’m going to
send you to a place far away so that you won’t be too sad when
I die.”Such is the compassion and love of a father。
