智慧箴言

1.人间寿命因为短暂才更显得珍贵。难得来一趟人间，应问是否有为人生发挥自己的功能，而不要一味求长寿。

Because our lifespans are brief, life is even more valuable. Since it is not easy to be born in the world as a human being, we should as ourselves whether we have developed our capabilities to the utmost during our lifetime rather than.

2.不论在人间付出多少心血、多少辛苦，切莫将心念停留于过去的成就。

Regardless of how much pain and trouble we go through accomplishing something.

3.心要像明月一样，有水就有月；心要像天空一样，云开见青天。

The mind should be like a clear moon: where there is water, there is the moon, reflected. The mind should be like the sky: when the clouds part, there is a clear sky.

4.时时好心就是时时好日；时时保持心中的正念，任何时间、任何方向与地理都是吉祥的。By maintaining a good heart at every moment, every day is a good day. If at every instance therer is right mindfulness, then any time, any direction, any location is auspicious.

5.慈悲心即是清凉地。

A compassionate heart is a clear and cool place.

6.慈是「与乐」，就是给与一切众生快乐。

Mercy is “giving happiness”, giving all living beings joy and happiness.

7.悲即是同情心。能互相宽谅、容忍，表现一分宽心、爱心，即是悲心；人生最幸福的就是能宽容与悲悯一切众生的人。

Compassion is sympathy. The compassionate heart is able to forgive, be patient, and express tolerance and love. The most fortunate thing in life is being able to forgive and sympathize with all living beings.

8.没有数字的代价即为「无量」。不辞劳苦的付出便是「大慈悲」。付出劳力服务，又服务得很欢喜便叫做「喜捨」。

In the same way that a value without a figure is a “limitless amount”, not counting the effort one puts out is “Great Compassion.” To give one’s labour and service happily is more than “Joyous Giving.”

The injury is on their bodies, the pain is in my heart.
