speech and mind, and refrain from engaging
in meaningless and frivolous talks.

the rainbow and sunshine afterwards.

Elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

grow in the earth, the incense is the wood,
water is contained in the offering of water,

要內修不著外相。
We must fill our minds with Bodhisattva’s
noble qualities; we must cultivate internally
and not attach to external appearances.

每天在人間,
子裡要想著天上的事你就成功了。
想著人間的事,
就會墮落,就會貪瞋癡,越想越愚癡。
If you think every day of the heavens while in

this human realm with equanimity.
Think of emptiness while in the physical
world, and think of joy and Dharma bliss
within emptiness.

what Bodhisattvas give us is the joy
and relaxation derived from a kind of
liberation in whatever we do in this world.

Buddhist practitioners whose hearts are
filled with Buddha nature will experience joy
and the absence of worries.

it become a path of joy.
——————————–
學佛就是做人,在人間學佛真的不容易。
人太嚴厲,沒有慈悲心;
太慈悲了,容易受傷害。
Practising Buddhism is about how to
conduct oneself.
It is far from easy to practise Buddhism in
the human realm.
If you are too strict,
you tend to lack compassion.
If you are too compassionate,
you are easily hurt.
——————————–
認識就是精進,實修才能成功,
不認真很快就會被淘汰。
To achieve the right understanding of
nature is to be diligent.
Only true cultivation will lead to success.
Those who do not cultivate seriously will be
left behind.

師父是一個電燈,照亮你們的前程;
師父,用慈悲之水,滋潤你們的心田。

up; the Master is a fan that cools and calms
you down; the Master is an electric light that
illuminates your path ahead; the Master
uses the water of compassion to nourish your mind.
——————————–
學佛做人要記住:
開心時講話易失信,怒時講話多失體。
When practising Buddhism and conducting
oneself, one must remember that it is easy to
lose trust when one speaks in happiness;
it is easy to embarrass oneself when one
speaks in anger.
——————————–
想改變命運:
要懂知識,要知足常樂減少欲望,
要用環境鍛煉自己。
If you wish to change your destiny, you must
have knowledge, learn to be content,
minimise your worldly desires, and use the
environment to toughen yourself.
——————————–
學佛修心要修生活的波羅蜜,
把生活修圓滿了,你就是人間菩薩了。

mind involves cultivating the Paramita in daily life.
By perfecting one’s life spiritually, you will
become a Bodhisattva in the human realm.
——————————–
紅塵滾滾兩茫茫,忍辱柔和是妙方。
Cycle of rebirth in the human realm
leads to our aimless pursuit of transient
gratification in this world.
Forbearance and understanding are the best
solution.
——————————–
我們要學習常不輕菩薩:
學佛人不能輕視任何人,
一切眾生都是佛,都是菩薩,都要恭敬。
We must learn from Chang Bu Qing
Bodhisattva (who never underestimates
sentient beings).
Buddhists must not look down on anyone.
As all sentient beings are Buddhas and
Bodhisattvas, we must respect them.
——————————–
學佛能放下的人,心中會發出五種香:
善良、慈悲、真性、諒解、智慧。
If you are able to let go in the course of
practising Buddhism, your heart will exude
five kinds of fragrance:
kindness, compassion, truthfulness,
forgiveness, and wisdom.
——————————–
人活著要有希望,要有力量。
希望從力量中來。
One must have hope and energy to live.
Hope comes from energy.
——————————–
學佛廣結善緣,就會去除無明。
Forming positive connections with people
while practising Buddhism will help
eliminate our ignorance.
——————————–
修心主要是:精進和懺悔,
懺悔了就會精進,
精進的人一定會好好懺悔。
Cultivating the mind mainly requires
diligence and repentance.
Repenting will lead to diligence and those
who are diligent will certainly repent sincerely.
——————————–
說是道非,就會被別人說是非。
說話要讓別人開心快樂,
境界的提高用智慧。
If we gossip about others,
likewise others will gossip about us.
Our words should bring
happiness and cheers to others.
It takes wisdom to raise our level of spirituality.
——————————–
心中裝多少眾生,才會有多大能量。
菩薩心中裝著天下眾生,
菩薩就有無限的能量。
The number of sentient beings you
hold in your heart determines
the strength of your spiritual power.
Bodhisattvas keep all sentient beings at
heart, and therefore they possess infinite power.
——————————–
一個學佛人要有肉體之光和智慧之光
才能擁有佛性之光。
A Buddhist practitioner must have light of
the physical body and light of wisdom.
Only then can they possess the light of the
Buddha nature.
——————————–
無我的境界就是菩薩,就是無我相,
把自己都忘記了,心中只有別人。
想超脫六道,必須無我,
這是一個很高的境界。
非我之我,非我非我所,就是覺醒。
One who attains the state of no self is a
Bodhisattva, meaning they have no
attachment to the notion of self.
Forgetting themselves means having only
others at heart.
One who wishes to transcend the six realms
of existence must let go of the self,
which is a very high level of spirituality.
The ’self ’ in ’no-self ’ is the true self,
the Buddha nature.
If you can realise that ’no-self ’ really
is ’no-self ’ in this world, then you attain the
state which is devoid of the self.
This is awakening.
