閒人無樂趣，忙人無是非

1.閒人無樂趣，忙人無是非。 An idle man has no pleasure; a busy man has no time for dispute.  口說一句好話，如口出蓮花；口說一句壞話，如口吐毒蛇。 Good words are like lotus flowers blooming on lip; Bad words are like poisonous snakes

《談心境》

有人點燈求光明，其實真正的光明在我們心裏。

Many seek illumination by lighting up a lamp,when the true light is within. 人的心地就像一畝土，若沒有播下好的種子，也長不出好的果實來。

Our mind is like a garden;if no good seeds are sown,nothing good will grow from it.

天堂和地獄，都是由心和行為所造作。

Our thoughts and actions create our destiny of heaven or hell.

三心二意無定性，四處徘徊不專精，盡管條條道路通長安，卻永遠無法到達終點！ Even if every road led to Rome,when our mind is indecisive,constantly wandering,and unable to concentrate,we will never make it to our destination. 要用心，不要操心、煩心。

Be mindful,not worried or perturbed.

心迷就會苦，心悟就自在。

A confused mind suffers agony;An enlightened mind feels at ease. 心善即天堂，心惡即地獄。

A kind heart enjoys heavenly bilss;An evil mind experiences hell.

人的觀念不正，就不能正業；觀念如果偏差，所做的事也會錯誤。

If our view is incorrect,our actions will not be right;If our thinking is biased,everything we do will be wrong.

人要學習經得起周圍人事的磨練而心不動搖，並學習在動中保持心的寧靜。

Learn to remain undistrbed in the tumult of people and events.Remain at peace inside yourself even when busy and occupied.

《談智慧》

真正的解脫是在眾緣中付出而得，也是在眾緣的煩惱中解脫。

True liberation is realized through unselfish giving for the benefit of mankind.It is also realized through the challenges of relationships with others. 有智慧的人能舍，能“舍”就能“得”，得到無限的快樂。

A wise person is able to let go.To let go is actually to receive,to receive boundless happiness.

智慧是從人與事之間磨練出來的，若逃避現實，離開人與事，便無從產生智慧。 Wisdom is cultivated in the interplay of people and events.To escape from reality,to keep away from people and events,provides no means to nurture wisdom.

人都是因為大聰明了，分別的事多，矛盾也多，才會執著想不開。

Often when a person is too smart,they will overanalyze things and contradictions appear,hence,they become anxiously entrenched.

每天的人事物，就是活生生的一部經，除了可增長我們的智慧，又可藉外境將心修練得如如不動。

People,events and things are all living sutras that cultivate wisdom and discipline the mind to remain undisturbed in the face of phenomenon.

智慧由定而生，若能心專念一，從事入理，即能產生智慧。

Equanimity nurtures wisdom.When we concentrate wholeheartedly on the task at hand and perceive the truth behind shifting phenomenon,wisdom will natrrally trow.

“道”不是在文字上求，應在日常的人事中，磨出“定力”由“定”而產生“慧”。 Spiritual cultivation cannot be found in the realm of words and writings.Apply the lessons of daily encounters with people and events to your practice,and gather the strength of equanimity.This equanimity will cultivate wisdom. 有智慧才能分辯善惡邪正；能謙虛則能建立美滿人生。

With wisdom,we can discern good from evil,rigth from wrong;With humility,we will havre a happy life.

爭，隻能“為善競爭”、“與時日競爭”

Compete only for good,Race against time,fight for every second.

《談煩惱》

有些人常常起煩惱——因為別人一句無心的話，他卻有意的接受。

People often feel upset because they take careless remarks too seriously. 如果有所付出就想有所回報，將會招來煩惱。

Giving with an expectation for return brings misery.

“貪”不但帶來痛苦，也使人墮落。

Greed not only brings miseryit may also bring ruin.

人生多欲為苦——人常被“欲”所牽引造業。

Suffering is caused by endless desire,the desire that creates bad karma. 煩惱就像一條毒蛇睡在人的心中，一觸動它，蛇就會咬人。

Worry is a poisonous snake that sleeps in the mind;the moment you disturb it,the snake will bite you.

人生有煩惱，皆源貪、瞋、癡。

All worries in life flow from three poisons;greed,malice and ignorance. 人都因為有一個“我”作中心才有煩惱，所以要將“我”看淡些。

Worries arise from attachment to "self".So let go of your accachment. 擁有的人煩惱“失”沒有的人憂慮“得”患得患失，即成憂愁。

When we have something,we are afraid of losing it.When we don't have something,we are afraid we won't get it The anxiety of gain and loss causes misery in our life.

人人本有清純真的佛性，隻因煩惱無明遮蔽了。

We all have a pure and clear Buddha nature,obscured by worry and delusion.

《談幸福》

能為人服務比被人服務有福。

It is more of a blessing to serve others than to be served.

多原諒人一次，就多造一次福；把量放大，福就大。

To forgive once is to be blessed once.The more we forgive,the more we are blessed.

自造福田，自得福緣。

Those who sow the seeds of beessinges shall harvest plentiful blessings. 求福壽倒不如求平安，平安就是添福壽。

Rather than ask for blessings of fortune and longevity,ask for the blessing of peace of mind.Peace of mind will spawn more blessings.

以親切的愛心去關懷別人，這分愛心便是造福的種子。

When we care for others with deep sincerity.our heart of love is the noble seed that brings great blessings.

《談聲色》

人與人相片，都是以聲色互相對待。講話是聲，態度是色，與人講話輕言細語，態度要微笑寬柔。

The expressions on our face and the tone of our vojce all communicate to others.So smile and speak softly;preserve a gentle attitude.

聽話、說話要完整不要隻揀前一句、後一句，合起來剛好尖尖刺進人心。

Be clear and complete when you talk and listen.Do not pick one sentence here,and one sentence there;or you may by accident intensely huret someone.

對人要寬心，講話要細心。

BE forgiving towards others.Be discreet in your speech.

喜歡心是一種涵養，能令周圍的人都有“如沐春風”的喜悅感。

A heart of joy is a virtue that brings happiness to others like a spring breeze.

要做個受人歡迎和被愛的人，必須先照顧好自我的聲和色。

To win the hearts of others and always be welcome,we must be cautious of our tone of vojce and facial expression.

皺眉和微笑都是一個動作表情，何不微笑？

A frown and a smile are both possible.Why not smile?

起心動念無不是業，開口動苦、舉手投足無不是罪。

Every thought,every word,every action is the origin of karma and misfortune.

《談因緣》

隻要緣深，不怕緣來得遲；隻要找到路，就不怕路遙遠。

It is never too late for a deep-rooted affinity to blossom;Do not worry of a distant journey as long as one finds the way.

有願放在心裏，沒有身體力行，正如耕田而不播種，皆是空過因緣。

Making vows without taking any action is like ploughing a field without planting any seeds;there is no harvest to reap,letting opportunity pass us by. 每天要感謝父母與眾生一生所作不要辜負父母與眾生。

Be grateful to your parents and to all sentient beings,every day.In everything you do,never disappoint them.

死是生的開頭，生是死的起點。生生死死、死死生生，本來就在一個循環中。

Death is the new beginning of birth,birth begins another life after death Birth and death,living and dying,are all natural parts of the cycle of existence. 要把握做好事的因緣，一旦因緣消逝，想做就來不及了！

Do good things whenever the opportunity arises When the opportunity goes away,try as we may,it will be too late.

《談家庭》

家庭不能隻追求豐富的物質生活，應著重心靈溝通，使親子、夫妻間和諧、圓滿。 Do not just seek a rich material life for your family.It is more important for parent and child ,and husband and wife to communicate and nurture harmonious,and close relationships.

鳥要有巢，人要有家，如果夫妻子女各居一方，何來在倫之樂？

Birds have nests;people have homes.If family members live far apart,how can they have a happy family life?

與人相處要去除我執，擴大心胸，客客氣氣，互讓互愛。

You must be free of eno when you are with others,so expand your heart,be courteous,cooperative,and loving.

人生多病！身體四大不調是病，家人吵嚷不和是病，社會運燙不字也是病。

Life is full of illness.Disease is illness,family dispute is illness,social unrest is illness.

想要家庭吉祥、和睦，就應該常常起歡喜心，天天為自己的家祝福。

To have a warm and happy family,we should nurture a heart of joy and shower our family with blessings.

社會型態源自於家庭教育，家庭教育源自於個人修養。

Social order rests on family education.Family education rests on individual integrity.

《談本分》

不求身體健康，隻求精神敏睿；不求事事如意，隻求毅力勇氣；不求減輕責任，隻求增加力量。

Do not seek physical health,wish for mental alertness.Do not seek easy accomplishments,wish for courage and perseverance.Do not seek less responsibility,wish for morestrength.

我們要安分守已，守住清淨無為的心，讓心時時寂靜。

Do what is right and be content.Keep the mind pure and undefiled.Remain calm and serene always.

人應時時“居安思危”莫等“危時方思安”。

Beware of danger even during good times.Do not wait until you encounter danger to remembe the good times you had.

寧靜最美，安定最樂。

Tranquility is beauty.Equanimity is joy.

《談因果》

一念之非即種惡因，一念之是即得善果。

One evil thought plants an evil karmic seed;One good thought will result in good karmic fruit.

健康時，多做善事，多造善因福果，鋪好人生健康之道。

Constantly practice goodness when you are healthylant the seeds of goodness to reap the fruits of blessings,thus,paving the way to a healty life.

過去宿業所帶來的業障，如能以歡喜心去接受，就可以重業輕受。

Accept with a heart of joy the obstructions brought on by karma which were caused by past actions;thus minimizing the retribution of bad karma.

麵對業力不要埋苑，要用寬諒和樂的心來代替埋苑。

Do not complain in the face of bad karmic forces.Be forgiving and accommodating instead of complaining.

《談毅力》

勇氣不可失，信心不可無，世間沒有不能與無能的事隻怕——不肯。

Never lose courage,Never lose faith.Nothing isn this world is impossible when you are determined.

不管路有多遠、自己的能力有多少，都能隨分隨盡量去達成目標，此即“毅力”。 Regardless how far the journey is or how capable we are,we do our best to reach our goal.This is perseverance at its best.

苦幹象征毅力和耐力，要成就大業，必須擁有苦幹的精神。

Hardwork signifies persistence and patiencce.To achieve great accomplishments,we must have a hardworking spirit.

人所以缺管毅力、勇氣，是因為好逸惡勢、玩物喪誌。

A life of ease but no work,all play but no goal,will cause one to lose courage and determination.

恒心、毅力能如“滴水穿石”再大的困難與阻礙都能突破。

Just like dripping water that can penetrate stone,patience and persistence can berk through anything,no matter how gerat the difficulty.

人要克服難，不要被難克服。

One must overcome difficulties,not be overcome by difficulties.

《談情愛》

有力量去愛人，或被愛的人，都是幸福的人。

True blessings flow from our ability to love,and be loved by others.

要培養一分清淨無染的愛。在感情上不要有得失心，不要想回收，就不會有煩惱。 Learn to develop pure and unconditional love;a love that has no sense of gain or loss,that asks for nothingin return.In this way we can be free of worries.

有所求的愛，是無法永久存在的。能夠永久存在的，是那份無形、無染且無求的愛。

A love with conditions attached would never last Only pure,unconditional love will last forever.

愛要濃淡合宜，像清茶淡香；若是太濃，則若得喝不下。

Love is just like a cup of tea,when properly mixed,tastes wonderful with its light aroma.If it is too strong,it will be too bitter to drink.

以媽媽心愛天下的眾生，以菩薩的智慧教育子女。

Love all sentient beings with a mother'sheart;Teach our children with a Bodhisattva's wisdom.

《談願力》

任何事都是從一個決心、一粒種子開始。

Every achievement grows out of the seed of determination.

不要小看自己，因為人有無限的可能。

Do not underestimate your ability;everyone has unlimited potential.

千裏之路，必須從第一步開始；聖人的境域，也是自凡夫起步。

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one first step.Even the sage was once an ordinary human being.

要提起就完全提起，要放下就全心放下。

When you perform a task ,do it wholeheartedly;When you refuse a task,leave it without regret.

發心容易，恒心難持；光說不練，實踐道法。

To begin is easy,to persist is difficult.Talking about truth without practicing it leads neither to enlightenment nor realizes the Dharma.

發願必須發利益眾生的大願，並且隨時隨地身體力行。

Make great vows,to benefit all sentient beings,thencarry them out in action at any time,any place.

《談人生》

人生在世，不能無所事事、懵懵懂懂而虛度一生，應發揮我們的良知良能，造福人群。

We should not idle away our time,and drift in frivolous thoughts.It is best to nurture our innate goodness and develop our ability to help others.

人一旦無所事事、虛度光陰，精神就會萎靡不振，生命也就失去意義。

When we have nothing to do and idle away our time,our spirit becomes weak and life seems meaningless.

美滿的人生，不在物質、權勢、名利及地位，而在人與人之間的關愛與情誼。

A fulfilling life is not preoccupied with material objects,prestige,and power

A fulfilling life is filled with true friendships,sharing,and caring for each other.

所謂看開人生，不是悲觀，而是積極樂觀；不是看破，而是看透。

To take life easy is not a negative attitude;it is a happy and positive attitude.It does not mean giving up hope;it is a true understanding of the real purpose of life.

人生幾十年的成就，都是由每一天的言行累積而成。所以，要照顧好每一天的言行。 Our accomplishments in life are built on the words and actions we make every day;We must be discreet in our daily speech and behavior.

人生就像走鋼索般，如果不認真往前看卻一直往後看，一定會跌下去。

Life is like walking a tightrope;if we do not focus on what is ahead,budt keep looking behind,we are sure to fall.

待人退一步，愛人寬一寸，在人生道中就會活得很快樂。

In dealing with others learn how to compromise and give others a little more love This is the way to live happily.

《談布施》

付出，就是最大的收獲。

Giving will reap the greatest harvest.

心安即是福，能做即是福，歡喜即是福，心寬即是福。

A peaceful mind is a blessing.The ability to work is also a blessing.Happiness is a blessing.Broadmindedness is also a blessing.

能施與的人，比受施的人更有福。

To give is better than to receive.

真正的布施，除了無欲無求，還要有感恩的心。

Give without expectation,and give with gratitude.

多一分付出，就能多一分成就。

The more we give,the more we accomplish.

布施不是有錢人的專利，而是一分虔誠的愛心。

Giving is not the privilege of the rich,it is the privilege of the sincere.

布施若不是真正心存喜舍，則非但沒有功德，反增煩惱。

To give without joy,not only carries no merit but increases distress.

《談實踐》

發心要發在腳底上，不要發在口中，隻說不行。

A resolution must bu expressed with actions,not just words.

沒做壞事是人的本分，心好卻不付諸行動，等於沒做一樣。

It is our duty not to harm others.Yet having a good heart without doing good things is still equal to doing nothing at all.

再好的道理，如果不去力行，等於是空話；再好的事，如果不按正理而行，難以竟其功。

An excellent theory without practice is just empty talk.An excellent practice without adhering to the right principle will rarely succeed .

社會的進步不是用喊出來的，是做出來的。

Progress in society comes through action,not through loud protest.
