閒人无乐趣，忙人无是非

1.閒人无乐趣，忙人无是非。 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

《谈心境》

有人点灯求光明，其实真正的光明在我们心里。

Many seek illumination by lighting up a lamp,when the true light is within. 人的心地就像一亩土，若没有播下好的种子，也长不出好的果实来。

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

天堂和地狱，都是由心和行为所造作。

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

三心二意无定性，四处徘徊不专精，尽管条条道路通长安，却永远无法到达终点！ 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、烦心。

Be mindful,not worried or perturbed.

心迷就会苦，心悟就自在。

A confused mind suffers agony;An enlightened mind feels at ease. 心善即天堂，心恶即地狱。

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

人的观念不正，就不能正业；观念如果偏差，所做的事也会错误。

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

人要学习经得起周围人事的磨练而心不动摇，并学习在动中保持心的宁静。

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

《谈智慧》

真正的解脱是在众缘中付出而得，也是在众缘的烦恼中解脱。

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”，得到无限的快乐。

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

智慧是从人与事之间磨练出来的，若逃避现实，离开人与事，便无从产生智慧。 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.

人都是因为大聪明了，分别的事多，矛盾也多，才会执着想不开。

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，就是活生生的一部经，除了可增长我们的智慧，又可藉外境将心修练得如如不动。

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，若能心专念一，从事入理，即能产生智慧。

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，应在日常的人事中，磨出“定力”由“定”而产生“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. 有智慧才能分辩善恶邪正；能谦虚则能建立美满人生。

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

争，只能“为善竞争”、“与时日竞争”

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

《谈烦恼》

有些人常常起烦恼——因为别人一句无心的话，他却有意的接受。

People often feel upset because they take careless remarks too seriously. 如果有所付出就想有所回报，将会招来烦恼。

Giving with an expectation for return brings misery.

“贪”不但带来痛苦，也使人堕落。

Greed not only brings miseryit may also bring ruin.

人生多欲为苦——人常被“欲”所牵引造业。

Suffering is caused by endless desire,the desire that creates bad karma. 烦恼就像一条毒蛇睡在人的心中，一触动它，蛇就会咬人。

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

人生有烦恼，皆源贪、瞋、痴。

All worries in life flow from three poisons;greed,malice and ignorance. 人都因为有一个“我”作中心才有烦恼，所以要将“我”看淡些。

Worries arise from attachment to "self".So let go of your accachment. 拥有的人烦恼“失”没有的人忧虑“得”患得患失，即成忧愁。

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.

人人本有清纯真的佛性，只因烦恼无明遮蔽了。

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

《谈幸福》

能为人服务比被人服务有福。

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

多原谅人一次，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，自得福缘。

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

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

以亲切的爱心去关怀别人，这分爱心便是造福的种子。

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

《谈声色》

人与人相片，都是以声色互相对待。讲话是声，态度是色，与人讲话轻言细语，态度要微笑宽柔。

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

听话、说话要完整不要只拣前一句、后一句，合起来刚好尖尖刺进人心。

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.

对人要宽心，讲话要细心。

BE forgiving towards others.Be discreet in your speech.

喜欢心是一种涵养，能令周围的人都有“如沐春风”的喜悦感。

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

要做个受人欢迎和被爱的人，必须先照顾好自我的声和色。

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

皱眉和微笑都是一个动作表情，何不微笑？

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

起心动念无不是业，开口动苦、举手投足无不是罪。

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

《谈因缘》

只要缘深，不怕缘来得迟；只要找到路，就不怕路遥远。

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.

有愿放在心里，没有身体力行，正如耕田而不播种，皆是空过因缘。

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. 每天要感谢父母与众生一生所作不要辜负父母与众生。

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

死是生的开头，生是死的起点。生生死死、死死生生，本来就在一个循环中。

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. 要把握做好事的因缘，一旦因缘消逝，想做就来不及了！

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

《谈家庭》

家庭不能只追求丰富的物质生活，应着重心灵沟通，使亲子、夫妻间和谐、圆满。 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.

鸟要有巢，人要有家，如果夫妻子女各居一方，何来在伦之乐？

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

与人相处要去除我执，扩大心胸，客客气气，互让互爱。

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

人生多病！身体四大不调是病，家人吵嚷不和是病，社会运烫不字也是病。

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

想要家庭吉祥、和睦，就应该常常起欢喜心，天天为自己的家祝福。

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

社会型态源自于家庭教育，家庭教育源自于个人修养。

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

《谈本分》

不求身体健康，只求精神敏睿；不求事事如意，只求毅力勇气；不求减轻责任，只求增加力量。

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.

我们要安分守已，守住清净无为的心，让心时时寂静。

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

人应时时“居安思危”莫等“危时方思安”。

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

宁静最美，安定最乐。

Tranquility is beauty.Equanimity is joy.

《谈因果》

一念之非即种恶因，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.

健康时，多做善事，多造善因福果，铺好人生健康之道。

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.

过去宿业所带来的业障，如能以欢喜心去接受，就可以重业轻受。

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.

面对业力不要埋苑，要用宽谅和乐的心来代替埋苑。

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

《谈毅力》

勇气不可失，信心不可无，世间没有不能与无能的事只怕——不肯。

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

不管路有多远、自己的能力有多少，都能随分随尽量去达成目标，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.

苦干象征毅力和耐力，要成就大业，必须拥有苦干的精神。

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

人所以缺管毅力、勇气，是因为好逸恶势、玩物丧志。

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”再大的困难与阻碍都能突破。

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

人要克服难，不要被难克服。

One must overcome difficulties,not be overcome by difficulties.

《谈情爱》

有力量去爱人，或被爱的人，都是幸福的人。

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

要培养一分清净无染的爱。在感情上不要有得失心，不要想回收，就不会有烦恼。 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.

有所求的爱，是无法永久存在的。能够永久存在的，是那份无形、无染且无求的爱。

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

爱要浓淡合宜，像清茶淡香；若是太浓，则若得喝不下。

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.

以妈妈心爱天下的众生，以菩萨的智慧教育子女。

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

《谈愿力》

任何事都是从一个决心、一粒种子开始。

Every achievement grows out of the seed of determination.

不要小看自己，因为人有无限的可能。

Do not underestimate your ability;everyone has unlimited potential.

千里之路，必须从第一步开始；圣人的境域，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.

发心容易，恒心难持；光说不练，实践道法。

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

发愿必须发利益众生的大愿，并且随时随地身体力行。

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

《谈人生》

人生在世，不能无所事事、懵懵懂懂而虚度一生，应发挥我们的良知良能，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.

人一旦无所事事、虚度光阴，精神就会萎靡不振，生命也就失去意义。

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

美满的人生，不在物质、权势、名利及地位，而在人与人之间的关爱与情谊。

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.

所谓看开人生，不是悲观，而是积极乐观；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.

人生几十年的成就，都是由每一天的言行累积而成。所以，要照顾好每一天的言行。 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.

人生就像走钢索般，如果不认真往前看却一直往后看，一定会跌下去。

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，爱人宽一寸，在人生道中就会活得很快乐。

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

《谈布施》

付出，就是最大的收获。

Giving will reap the greatest harvest.

心安即是福，能做即是福，欢喜即是福，心宽即是福。

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

能施与的人，比受施的人更有福。

To give is better than to receive.

真正的布施，除了无欲无求，还要有感恩的心。

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.

布施不是有钱人的专利，而是一分虔诚的爱心。

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，则非但没有功德，反增烦恼。

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

《谈实践》

发心要发在脚底上，不要发在口中，只说不行。

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

没做坏事是人的本分，心好却不付诸行动，等于没做一样。

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，等于是空话；再好的事，如果不按正理而行，难以竟其功。

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

社会的进步不是用喊出来的，是做出来的。

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