Hope Embark: Seasons

祈愿和乐遍人间

祈愿人间天上所有的有情都能够互相帮助，和睦共处；少壮者勤奋正直、年长者智慧慈悲；敬长尊贤、慈佑弱小；佛菩萨慈悲的精神，如风吹拂，善意如柳绿成荫，和乐如花开似锦，山河如画徐徐展，暖意如春遍人间。

Supplicate for Peace and Harmony Everywhere in our World

Supplicate that all the sentient beings in this world and in heaven are able to support one another and live in peace and harmony together. The young and strong ones are honest and hardworking, and the elderly ones are wise and compassionate. Respect the seniors and honour the virtuous ones, and protect the weak and young ones with kindness. The kindness and compassion of the buddha and bodhisattva are like caresses of the breeze, their kind thoughts are like shades of green willow, and their peace and harmony are like flowers blooming bright and beautiful. The mountains and rivers are like paintings gently scrolling open, and the warm feeling is like spring everywhere in our world.

善因的光明性

晨光初照，天空透亮。 朝阳，从群山后放出万丈霞光，喷薄而出，跃上虚空。 此情此景，好似「善因」，其性光明，力量强大，万物因它而得以生长茁壮.

The Luminosity of Virtuous Cause

The morning rays emerged and brightened the sky. The rising sun emits thousands ray of sunlight from behind the mountains as it sprang out and leap into the sky. This scene is similar to the “virtuous cause” that has a nature of luminosity and a powerful strength, which all living things depend on to grow healthily and strong.

利他心的灿烂

菩萨慈悲智慧的光明，宛如母亲的慈手，永恒地抚在因生死而惊怖的有情顶上。 所以不用惧怕轮回的寒冷，不用惧怕轮回的落寞，只要内心生起日轮般灿烂的利他心和空性光明，即可令轮回温暖，可舒万类苍生愁颜，可照天地，那就是菩提薩埵 !

The Splendour Of Altruism

The luminosity of the bodhisattva's compassion and wisdom is like a mother's loving hand, stroking eternally on top of a sentient being horrified by life and death. Hence don't be afraid of the coldness of reincarnation, don't be afraid of the loneliness of reincarnation, as long as the altruism with a sun-like splendour and luminosity of emptiness arise in your heart, you can warm the reincarnation. It can comfort all kinds of living beings' sad faces, and can illuminate the heaven and earth, that is the Bodhisattva!

让心灯连成净土

让我们在这个轮回的世界里，用一盏心灯点燃另一盏心灯，不停地去关怀那些痛苦的人，当这份力量越来越大，有一天这个人间就会像净土一般，充满慈悲与喜乐.

Let The Lamps Of Our Hearts Weave Into A Pure Land

In this world of cyclic existence, let us use the lamp in our hearts to light up the lamp in other people's hearts. Continue to care for those that are suffering in pain. When the power gets stronger and stronger, this earth will be filled with compassion and happiness, just like the pure land.

生命中的光明

在黑暗中，那灯光，即使如绿豆粒那么一点大，也是光明。 善业就是我们生命中的光明啊！ 哪怕是一点点，既能照己，又能照人，亦可暖心。 更何况，那点点灯光，光光相映，即成灯海。 灯海所在，还会有黑暗吗？

Radiance In Life

In the dark, the light, even as big as a mung bean grain, is radiant. Virtuous karma is the radiance in our lives! Even if it is a little bit, it can not only light up yourself, but also on others, and warm your heart too. What's more, that little light, as light and light reflect each other, it becomes a sea of lights. Is there still darkness where the sea of lights is?

追随光明自成光明

如何将自己的心变成光明？ 发生每件事的时候，你的注意力，你的思考方向都是追随着光明的角度的话，所造的业就是光明的。

Following Luminosity Naturally Becomes Luminosity

How do we transform our hearts into luminosity? Whenever anything happens, if your attention and the direction of your reflection are always following a luminous perspective, then the karma created will be luminous.

每人都作和平大使

在这个世界上，人与人之间内心的隔阂，实在是令人太痛苦了，何必要活在自己的孤独世界中呢？大家努力作和平大使吧！

Everyone Becomes Ambassador of Peace

The misunderstanding between people in this world is really extremely painful and suffering for us. Why should we live in our own lonely world? Let's strive to become an Ambassador of Peace!

一念发心动大千

当我们内心中，发出真诚的「愿诸有情具足安乐及安乐因」的时候，其实就在改变着这个世界。

A Single Aspiration Moves The Entire Universe

When we ignite a sincere and truthful aspiration in our hearts, “May all sentient beings have happiness and its causes”, we are actually changing this whole world.

改变从自己开始

当人们发起慈悲的念头、发起探索空性的志向，就在改变这个世界。升华了自己的心念，周围的人就会被利益到，而这个世界得美就多一分，灾难也跟着少了一分。

Change starts from within

When a thought of compassion or an ambition to achieve Emptiness arises, we are changing this world. This enhancement of thought brings a little more happiness to the world, and a little less calamity.

献出自己的馨香

就像春天来了，各种花朵都可以绽放，最重要的是要为这个世界献出自己的馨香，要为他人的离苦得乐之道，献出自己的一分力量 ，这个心比什么都珍贵！

Offer Your Own Fragrance

Just like spring is here, all kinds of flowers can bloom. The most important thing is to offer your own fragrance to the world, give a part of yourself to others on the path to abandon suffering and obtain happiness. This aspiration is more precious than anything else!

愿无边有情离苦

希望无量无边的有情，能够感受到佛菩萨的慈悲，不再孤单，不再痛苦，不再饱受饥饿，瘟疫，贫穷等等的摧残。

May Boundless Sentient Beings Be Liberated From Sufferings

Wish that immeasurable and boundless sentient beings, can feel the compassion of buddhas and bodhisattvas, are no longer alone, no more suffering in pain, and not any more suffering under the devastation of hunger, plague, poverty, etc.

不要吝于发大愿

有多大的善愿，有多大的善心，就能成办多大的善业，所以在发愿上千万不要吝啬！ 不敢发大心最亏了，因为心的能力是没有限度的，越限制它你越不自由，越痛苦，只能活在狭小的慧力中，何苦呢？

Don't Be Stingy With Making Great Aspirations

How great the virtuous aspirations and how great the virtuous intentions are, results in how great the virtuous karma that can be created. Hence, certainly don't be stingy when making aspirations! Those who dare not make great aspirations suffer the most losses, because the capabilities of the mind has no limits, the more you restrict it, the less freedom you have and the more miserable you will become, and can only live in narrow and little wisdom. What for?

智者的快乐之道

我们每个人都要快乐，那怎样才能快乐呢？ 代人着想，发善心，做善事，说善良的话，极大程度地扩展我们的慈悲心，这就是智者们发现的快乐之道。

Path To Happiness Of The Wise

Everyone of us wants to be happy, how then can we be happy? Be considerate towards others, have a kind heart, do virtuous deeds, say kind words, greatly expand our compassion by a large extent, this precisely is the path to happiness discovered by the wise.

佛如明灯善指引

佛陀，善知识的功德，就是他们完全了知怎样去除痛苦的方法，又有爱他胜自的慈悲。 他们就像指路明灯一样，能赐予我们离苦得乐的最佳引导，清晰照亮脚下的每一步。

Buddha Is Skilful In Providing Guidance Like A Bright Lamp

The good qualities of Buddha and the Excellent Teachers are that they have complete knowledge on the means to eliminate sufferings, and have compassion to love others more than themselves. They are like lamps directing the way, can grant us with the best guidance to eliminate sufferings and achieve happiness, and clearly illuminating every step that we take.

永恒的皈依

无论曾承受多少痛苦，只要我们找到了佛陀，只要能永远地追随他，学习自利利人，这一生乃至还有多少生的苦难，因为有他指引，有他陪伴，也都只是步步离苦，步步得乐的过程，是多么的值得，是何等的美丽！

Eternal Refuge

No matter how much suffering we have endured, as long as we have found the Buddha, as long as we can follow him forever and learn to benefit ourselves and others, the suffering in this life and even how much more in future lives, because of his guidance and his company, all are merely the step by step process to abandon suffering and to obtain happiness. How worthwhile and beautiful it is!

暇满人身珍贵时光

拥有人身，又能够听闻佛法，抉择善恶，用自己的身语意去利益周围的人，乃至利益无量无边的有情，这样的光阴每一寸都是珍贵无比的。

The Precious Times Of Human Life Of Leisure And Opportunity

To have a human body, and be able to listen to Buddha's teachings. To choose between virtuous and non-virtuous, to use our own body, speech and mind to benefit the people around us, and even to benefit immeasurable and boundless sentient beings, every instant of such time is extremely precious.

坚持美好的善心

用一个美好的动机去面对每一件事情，会让事情都变得单纯。 一个善心坚持始终，遇到敌对的眼光，诽谤的声音等等，不论遇到什么，还是要坚持你的善。

Persevere In Good Kind Heart

Using a good intention to deal with every matter will make the matter becomes simpler. Persevere with a kind heart from the beginning till the end. No matter what you may encounter, gazes that are opposing, or voices of slandering etc., you must persist in being kind.

慈悲心就是幸福

慈悲心是幸福的——你对别人慈悲，结果自己会觉得幸福，很像「予人玫瑰，手留余香」的感觉。 所以一定要学会对家人，周围的人多生慈悲心，多表达自己的感恩心。

Compassion Is Blissfulness

Compassion is blissful - when you are compassionate to others, you will feel blissful as a result, much like the feeling of “Give roses to others and the lasting fragrance will remain in your hand.” Hence, you must learn to be more compassionate to your family members, the people around you, and express your gratitude more often.

一定要做的事

什么是对他人和自己都有利益的事？ 就是现在好，将来也好的，这个要做；有的时候看起来现在不好，但将来是好的，佛说这种事情也一定要做！

Must Do Thing

What is something that benefits others and yourself? If it is good now and also good in the future, this should be done. Sometimes it seems bad now, but it will be good in the future. The Buddha said that this kind of thing must also be done!

无穷大的回报

如果知道发心的利益，谁还愿意费那么大的辛苦，只赚一点点回报？ 所谓发心的利益，就是你布施别人一粒米，乘以无穷大；你点一盖灯，乘以无穷大；你礼佛一拜，乘以无穷大… …，全是这种一本万利，而且稳赚不亏的事情，那谁还愿意不重视发心？

Infinite Returns

If you know the benefits of making aspirations, who would then be willing to go though such great hardships and to only earn meagre returns? The so-called benefits of making aspirations only means that when you give others a grain of rice, multiply (the returns) by infinity; when you light a lamp, multiply (the returns) by infinity, when you prostate once to Buddha, multiply (the returns) by infinity…, all these are highly profitable affairs that have guaranteed earnings with no losses, who would then be willing to treat making aspirations as unimportant?

第一位的陷阱

把自己放在第一位，一开始看起来是很占便宜，但是久了会吃大亏，因为周围的人都知道你是这样的，没人喜欢这样的人！ 这时就会很孤单，很不快乐。

The Trap Of Being First

Positioning yourself first seems to be a great advantage at first glance, but it is of great disadvantage over a prolonged period, because everyone around you already knows that this is the way you are, and no one likes such a person! At this time, you will be very lonely and very unhappy.

反其道而行的修行

有一个用慈悲心修行的办法，就是当你自己不快乐时，选择去帮忙别人，其实很快地不愉快的心情就没有了。 一定要广泛地试验这件事！

Practice That's Against The Usual Way

There is one way to practise with compassion, which is to choose to help others when you are unhappy, and in fact the feeling of unhappiness will quickly disappear. You must experiment with this extensively!

守护福慧行布施

只要有心，如果没有很多资财就供清水，或者供灯什么都可以，这也是在修布施。 最重要的是，当自己在享有往昔布施的善果时，内心善妙的等流习气不要断掉，这样才能生生世世都一直拥有财富，健康，容貌，慧力等等的资粮。

Guard Merits And Wisdom Via Acts Of Generosity

As long as you are sincere, just offer clean water or offer a lamp or anything, if you do not have many resources, as this is also practising generosity. The most important thing is, when we are enjoying the fruits of our past virtuous acts, do not break away from the wonderful virtuous mind streams and habits, then we can always possess the merits of wealth, health, looks, wisdom, etc., lives after lives.

「舍」与「得」的法则

你把很多东西布施给别人，最后却会得到更多；把东西都拿到自己手里，最后会什么都没有了，因果它就是这样一个反向的运作。

The Principles of “Giving” And “Receiving”

When you generously give a lot of things to other people, you will receive a lot more in return; when you hold everything in your hands, you will end up with nothing. This is the reversing process about cause and effect.

虔诚求法是最好的供养

有一次我实在没什么可以供养，轮到我的时候，就跑到上师面前合掌说：「我除了虔诚求法的心，没有什么可以供养的了，可是我想要跟上师求得解除生老病死的空性的法，这样的供养可不可以？」上师说：「太好了！这是我今天收到最好的供养。」

Seeking The Teaching Devoutly Is The Best Offering

There was once when I really don't have anything to offer, when it was my turn, I ran up to the Master with folded my palms and said: “Other than my devout aspiration to seek the Teaching, I don't have any item to offer now. However, I would like to request from the Master, the teaching on the nature of emptiness, that eliminates birth, old age, sickness and death. Is it possible with such an offering?” The Master said, “Splendid! This is the best offering that I have received today.”

业果会增长广大

因果法则是隐蔽法，不容易理解和发现。 你看那橡树种子就这么小，可是一棵大橡树长出来时可以这么大，铺地板，盖房子都是用它。 业果也有增长广大的特色，你种了一个小小的布施因，它就会随着你的欢喜，随着你心的清净，不停地增长广大。

Karma Will Grow And Magnify

The morning rays emerged and brightened the sky. The rising sun emits thousands ray of sunlight from behind the mountains as it sprang out and leap into the sky. This scene is similar to the “virtuous cause” that has a nature of luminosity and a powerful strength, which all living things depend on to grow healthily and strong.

温心苦心皆可传递关爱

一颗心如何才能温热？ 因为那心里蕴藏了许多慈悲和感恩。 我们一定要学会善于用善行，用对他人的慈悲，温暖自己的心；心里温暖了才容易给予别人关爱。 但是心像苦井一样的人，能不能开始对一个孩子好呢？ 还是可以的。 可不可以照顾老人呢？ 还是可以的。 甚至可以给一只流浪可怜的小动物，做唯一的依靠。 在照顾他人的过程中，会发现自己的价值 – 你是可以行善的；就如一朵花，或苦涩香，或甜香，或淡雅香，那皆是香气，皆可怡人。

Warm And Painstaking Efforts For Others Can Both Deliver Care

How can a heart become warm? Because that heart contains much compassion and gratitude. We must learn to use virtuous acts skilfully, use the compassion towards others to warm up our own hearts, only when the heart is warm can we then provide care to others easily. But a person whose heart is like a well holding bitter water, can he start to be nice to a child? Still can. Can he take care of the elderly? Still can. He can even become the only support for a small and pitiful stray animal. In the process of taking care of others, you will discover your own value - you can act virtuously, just like a stalk of flower, be it a bitter scent, sweet scent, or elegant scent, they are all fragrant and can all be delightful.

勇士走的路

如果一开始学习佛法的目标很模糊，不是为了希求一切遍智、不是为了得到空性的智慧而学，可能会无法忍受学习的艰辛。因为这是勇士所走的路，不为名、不益利，只为解脱成佛！是为了心中最纯净的那个梦想，精进努力，无怨无悔。

Road Travelled by a Warrior

If the goal to learn and practice the buddha's teaching is very obscure in the beginning, and if learning is not to seek omniscience and not to obtain the wisdom of emptiness, the learner might not be able to endure the hardships of learning. Because this is the road travelled by a warrior, it's not for fame and not for gains, solely for liberation as a buddha! It's for the purest dream in the mind, striving and dedicating oneself to progress, and without complains and no regrets.

心量多大世界就多大

心量有多大，你的世界就有多大。 如果只为了自己，那活着，终究只能在太阳下看到自己黑黑的影子。 如果心里装着很多很多人，就会常常不自主地想把一些温暖或善意送给别人，因为想为他人的生命出点力，让他变得更快乐，我要贡献自己的力量！

The World Is As Big As Your Heart

How big is your heart, how big will be your world. If staying alive is only for your own self, then you can only see your own dark shadow under the sun after all. If there are many people in my heart, I will often involuntarily want to give some warmth or kindness to others, because I want to contribute something to others' lives and make them happier. I want to contribute my own strength!

点亮世界的明灯

善行真的就像点亮灯火一样，当有一盏灯开始亮，慢慢就都亮了;而这一片亮起来的时候，就没有黑暗了。 那么点亮这个世界的那盏灯到底是什么呢？ 就是你心中的善意啊！ 对他人的那种无悔的关注，就是你心头的明灯。

Luminous Lamp That Lights Up The World

Virtuous acts are similar to lighting up the lamps. When one lamp is lighted, it becomes bright gradually. When the whole place is brightly lit, there will be no more darkness. So what is this lamp that lighted the world? It is the kindness within you! The kind of attention towards others without regrets, it is the light in your heart.

永恒可以原谅

当我们好像找不到任何一条理路可以原谅别人的时候，「因为他有生死的苦，因为他有烦恼的苦」，这就是永恒可以原谅他的理路。

Forgiveness Can Be Eternal

When it seems that we are unable to find any rationale to forgive others, (think that) “Because the person suffers from cyclic existence, because the person suffers from afflictions”. This is the rationale that allows us to forgive that person eternally.

珍惜每一分因缘

我们都是因为因缘而相聚的，在无始的生死流转中能够遇到，实在是件非常不容易的事情，劫数一来，就必须得散开。 所以在彼此相遇的时候，要好好把握相聚时光，怀着非常善意的心，让自己的生命对他人完成最大的饶益。

Cherish Every Single Causal And Dependent Factor

We have all come together because of causal and dependent factors. Being able to meet in this cyclic existence of life and death from beginning-less time is truly a very difficult matter, and once the inexorable doom approaches, we will have to part. Hence, during the times when you meet each another, seize the moments to be together well with a very kind heart, let your own life accomplishes the greatest benefits for others.

早晚要学会的事

关注别人可能是我们没经验的事，有的时候想关注别人却寸步难行，好像不会走路一样，很不习惯，但是试着起步吧！ 早晚有一天要学会这个，因为我们要成为菩提薩埵，要成佛，那么就从我们身边的人，甚至一个很不起眼的小生命开始，关注他们的生命吧！

No Matter What, We Have To Learn This One Day

We may not have any experience in caring attentively about someone. Sometimes when we want to express our concern, but it seems so difficult to make the move, as though we don't know how to walk. We are not used to it. However we can start making the first step. One day we will have to learn to do this because we are going to become Bodhisattvas and Buddhas. So let us begin with the people around us, even an easily neglected life, and start paying attention to their lives.

高举沟通的火把

要成就一个和合的团队，不花血本的代价是得不到的。 浪费那么多时间忧悲苦恼，还不如在这轮回的黑夜里高举沟通的火把，静下心来倾听，先去了解别人，才能把对立的状况消融，建立沟通。 而消融对立状态的最佳武器是什么？ 慈悲的心。

Hold The Torch Of Communication Up High

To accomplish a harmonious and united team, it is not achievable without paying through the nose. Rather than wasting that much time feeling worried, sorrowful or distressed, hold the torch of communication up high in the dark nights of cyclic existence, calm your mind to listen, start from understanding others, then you will be able to ablate the antagonising situation, and establish communication. And what is the best weapon to ablate antagonising situations? A compassionate heart.

创造世上的温暖

当许多善良、正直的人聚在一起相互帮忙，也去帮忙那些甚至是素不相识的人，就会在这个世界上创造一股温暖的气息。如花般的暖意，就在世上盛开。

Create Warm in The World

When many kind and upright people gathered to support one another, and helped those who are even total strangers, it will create a stream of warm breath in this world. The warmth that is like flower, is fully blooming in the world.

切莫辜负好时光

好时光是什么时候？ 就是在痛苦的时候！ 因为那是可以为这个世界创造美好价值的时刻，千万不要让心白白地受苦。 能让我们体谅他人，给这个社会更美好的回馈，这都是痛苦的价值。 因为我受过那个苦了，我知道受苦的人有多痛，所以我要去帮他。

Waste Not Your Precious Moments

When is a precious moment? It's when we are suffering! It is at these moments that we can create goodness for the world. Don't let our hearts suffer in vain. The goodness that is created is the returns of suffering. These moments allow us to be more considerate and give back to society. Since we have been through such suffering and know how painful it can be for those who are suffering, hence we must help them.

体会他人的真心

站在他人的角度上考虑，体谅 他人的用心，想一想他为我做了什么。虽然他为你做的那些事情可能你看不上眼，但他是出自真心为你做的。

Experience The Sincerity From Others

Consider from another person's perspective and empathise with his or her intention, think about what he or she has done for me. Although you are not impressed with the things the other person has done, he or she had done them sincerely for you.

习惯是练出来的

以自我为中心的这个习惯是练出来的，以他人为中心的习惯同样是练出来的，关键是我们要了解其中的苦乐差别，心甘情愿向以他人为中心的方向发展 。

Habits Are Formed Through Practice

Self-centredness is a habit that is formed through practice. Similarly the habit of being others-centred is also formed through practice. The key is our ability to understand the difference between suffering and happiness as a result of the habit, and voluntarily cultivate towards the direction of focusing on others.

来生高贵之因

用自己的身语意能够承事一个众生，让他得到一点快乐，这也是我们身为人能够行善的本钱。 为什么会愿意在众人之中很虚心地承事所有的人，恭敬大众，端茶倒水，像个仆人一样呢？ 这就是我们来生会非常高贵的因啊！

Cause For A Noble Rebirth

Being able to use our own body, speech and mind to undertake the matters of a sentient being and let him attain some happiness, this is also our capital as human beings to be able to act virtuously. Why are we be willing to serve everyone modestly among the masses, respect the masses, bring tea and pour water like a servant? This is precisely our cause for a very noble rebirth!

细细品每个人的心

有些人心中的美好，需要细细地品很久才能品出来，因为可能他不会或不愿表达自己，可能他显现出来的都只是他的弱点。 如何真正地认识一个人，其实不是一件容易的事情，有时要花很长的时间，才能品味到他人心中的精美。

Savour Everyone's Heart

The beauty in some people's hearts takes a long time to be savoured, because maybe he will not or unwilling to express himself, or maybe what he shows is only his weakness. How to really know a person is actually not an easy task. Sometimes it takes a long time to savour the exquisiteness of others.

当个种花人吧

想要帮忙别人，想要成就别人的心，如种花人，且行且种，且种且行。 虽然耕耘时，仅有路边林下那不起眼的黑土，可一日春来，你再且行且看，那竟成——十里长堤满眼花开。

Be A Flowers Planting Person

If you wish to help others, and intent to make others successful, be like a flowers planting person, move forward as you plant, and vice versa. Although during cultivation period, there is only the non eye-catching black soil of the forest besides the road, nevertheless, the day spring arrives, you move forward and observe again, there is an eyeful of blossomed flowers miles long instead.

发心与回馈

如果，我们供养的发心，像水晶一样的清澈透明，折射利他的七彩慈光；那么，将来的回馈也会是纯净光明的。 纯净的回馈是什么？ 就是只有「乐」，没有苦痛与烦恼。

Making Aspirations And Feedback

If the aspirations we made and offered are clear and lucid like crystals, refracting the colourful rays of compassion to benefit others, then the feedback received in future will also be pure and bright. What is a pure feedback? It is solely “happiness”, without any suffering and afflictions.

菩提心的利益

如果能够生起对家庭，对社会，对全人类的责任感，甚至扩展到对所有生命界的慈悲心，或者希望造福一切有情的菩提心，这样走到每一个地方，就会非常容易发现人们的美好，然后把这份美好传递出去。

The Benefits Of Spirit Of Enlightenment

If we can generate a sense of responsibility towards our family, the society and all mankind, and to even extend our compassion to all living beings, or develop the spirit of enlightenment hoping to benefit all sentient beings, then in this way, wherever you go, it will be very easy to discover the goodness of people, and thereafter pass the goodness on.

成佛是究竟之路

要想自他究竟离苦得乐，没有其他办法，只有一条路——成佛吧！

Achieving Buddhahood Is The Ultimate Path

If you want to completely liberate yourself and others from sufferings and achieve happiness, there is no other way, and only one path - to achieve Buddhahood!

由实践生净信

供养三宝能生功德」这件事，是很多佛菩萨、祖师所承许的，我们可以一边观察抉择、一边供养，譬如供一盏灯、供一杯水、礼佛一拜… …， 一点一点去做，必须用我们的心去实践了，净信才会在心续中生长得非常坚固。

Produce Pure Faith Through Practice

“Making offering to the Three Jewels can produce merits” is an occurrence that many buddhas, bodhisattvas and lineage masters have conceded. We can make our observation and decision while making offering such as a candle of light, a glass of water, a prostration to buddha, etc. and do this bit by bit. We must put our mind into practice, then pure faith will be produced very firmly in our mind stream.

战胜自己的喜悦

你很喜欢的一个小东西，当有一天决心把它供养出去的时候，获得的欢喜心是什么呢？ 就是战胜了自己。 当一想到这件事就会觉得：哇！ 今天做了一件非常棒的事情，我战胜了自己一次！

Joy Of Conquering Yourself

The day when you made up your mind to make an offering of a little thing that you like very much, what kind of joy would you derive from it? The victory of conquering yourself! Every single time when you think of this matter, you will feel that you have achieved a remarkable accomplishment to have conquered yourself once!

心灵的力量

不要认为观想供佛，请佛住世没有功德，这样的观想有时比实际供养功德还大。 千万不要忽略心灵的力量！

The Power of our Hearts

Do not think that there are no merits in visualising offerings to the buddhas, or supplicating for the buddhas to remain in this world and not pass into nirvana. The merits of such visualisations may sometimes be even greater than the physical offering of material goods. Do not overlook the power of the heart!

普愿众生离苦得乐

在拜佛时可以发一个心：「愿遍法界，尽虚空界，一切如母有情究竟离苦得乐这件事，全部荷担在我的肩上。是为了令自他都能够皈依佛，成就佛果这个目标，我来礼敬佛。」

May All Living Beings Be Liberated From Sufferings And Achieve Happiness

An aspiration can be made when prostrating to Buddha: “May I shoulder all the responsibilities of the task to completely liberate all sentient beings across all realms and throughout all space from sufferings and achieve happiness. This is to make ourselves and others be able to take refuge in Buddha and attain the goal of achieving Buddhahood, let me pay respect to Buddha.”

敞开心胸接纳

有时我们会觉得自己是世上最痛苦的人，但实际上有很多人远比自己更痛苦，需要我们去关心。当我们敞开心胸，接纳各不同的人，不论他行走在你前面或后面，地位比你高或低，都能从内心深处随喜他人的进步，也悲悯他人，积极勇悍地去除他人的痛苦。随着我们心里容纳的人越来越多，自己的痛苦就越来越小。

Open Our Hearts Widely to Accept

Sometimes we will feel that we are suffering in pain the most in this world. However there are many people who are suffering in pain more than us actually and they need us to care for them. When we opened our hearts, accepting different people, no matter whether they are walking in front or behind us, and their status are higher or lower than us, we can rejoice their progress from the depth of our hearts. Moreover we can have sympathy for others, proactively and courageously removing others' pain and sufferings. As we accept more and more people in our hearts, our pain and sufferings will become smaller and smaller.

放掉自我心自辽阔

怀着一颗坦荡的心走向每一个人，那是完全利益他的心，一点也不期待从他身上索取什么，你会在这个过程中体会到很多法味。 那种庄严是放掉了自我，把生命投注在广大的利他事业中所体会到的辽阔感。

Let Go Of The Self For Feeling Of Vast Expanse In The Heart

If you approach others with a magnanimous heart that is entirely to benefit them, and without any expectation in return from them, you will experience lots of dharma's realisation in the process. Such dignity is derived from letting go of ourselves and focusing our lives on the extensive work of benefiting others. It leads to a feeling of vast expanse in the heart from the process of benefiting others.

可以一万次被拒绝

如果把这颗利他的心，训练得越来越皎洁、越来越坚定、越来越纯粹——只是为了你能快乐，那就可以非常坦荡地向前走。我可以一万次地走向你、被你一万次拒绝，第一万零一次我又来了。过失不在你，是我还没有找到不被你拒的方法啊！

Can Be Rejected Ten Thousands Times

If we take this spirit of benefiting others and train it to become brighter and clearer, firmer and sturdier, purer and finer – solely for the sake that you can be happy, then we can move ahead in a very open and candid manner. I can walk towards you ten thousands times and be rejected by you ten thousands times. The ten thousands and one time, I will come again. You are not at fault, it is me who have not found the method not to be rejected by you actually!

病苦时心的转机

当头痛的时候，也可以观想：「愿尽法界，遍虚空一切如母有情的头痛，全部都成熟在我身上，就让这个业消除吧！」这样想一下，头还是在痛，但是心里很快乐，这种感觉是很真实的！ 你会开始没有那么讨厌病苦，因为它带给自己的心一种转机，不再那么执着身体上的痛苦。

The Turning Point Of The Mind When Suffering From Sickness

When you have a headache, you can also visualise: “I wish that the headaches of all sentient beings, who are like my mothers, in all the realms of the world and across the entire universe, will all take fruition on me, and let this karma be eliminated!” Thinking about it this way, the head is still painful, but the mind is very happy, and this feeling is very real!

If such suffocating suffering of all sentient beings, dissolves through the suffering that I'm experiencing right now, how beautiful that is, isn't it!

Giving Pleasant Speech Warms The Heart

Does speech have expression? I spoke, you heard, you might smile, your might feel the warmth, you might perform virtuous acts and you might be encouraged. Wasn't that the power of pleasant speech? Transforming from sorrowful to smiling expression, diverting from dispiritedness to excitement, ability to be touched instead of being numb. Were these not derived from the power of pleasant speech?

Every virtuous deed that we performed in this world, even if it seems insignificant like a droplet of water, once they are amassed into the great ocean of “the progression towards unsurpassable enlightenment“, these goodness will never be exhausted.

点滴善行成美德

不要期待自己一开始就全部做得很好，因为这根本不现实。 透过一段时间努力，我们的生命能比过去有所改善，这就很难得了！ 朝着一个光明的方向在改善，哪怕只有一点点，也是多少汗水与泪水换来的，可别小看啊！ 善行一点一点累积，到最后就会成就内心珍贵的美德。

Every Bit Of Virtuous Deeds Becomes A Virtue

Don't expect yourself to do everything well from the beginning, because it's not unrealistic at all. Through a period of hard work, our lives can be improved compared to the past, which is very difficult to achieve!

财富由布施来

今生的财富从哪里来？ 经典上写得非常清楚，是从布施，供养这些善业来的。 当然也有人说：「是我辛苦挣的。」那为什么有人千辛万苦也挣不到钱，有人就能挣到钱呢？ 要相信佛所说的 – 财富是从布施来的！！

Wealth Came From Generosity

Where does our wealth in this life come from? Based on the sutras, it was clearly stated that it came from virtuous deeds such as generosity and offering. Some people may say: ”It came from my hard work.” Then why is it that some people work very hard but couldn’t earn much and yet some others could? Believe in what Buddha had said – wealth came from generosity!

幸福的依靠

善心是我们幸福的依靠；不是对方给你多少理解，给你多少安慰。 你自己的善意才是幸福的依靠，也是幸福的起点。

Faith Brings Strength

Faith, is the direction of our spirituality. It inspires the wisdom and compassion in our hearts to bring bliss and strength to our lives. With great efforts over a long period of time, those twisted knots of troubles lingering in our hearts can be easily loosened.

人与人相处不容易，如果常常很不愉快，不妨试一试：拿一个小本子，写下那个最讨厌的人的十件好事，看能找出几件。能不能每天找出十个看他顺眼的地方？比如他什么事都做得很好。持续写下去，慢慢就会发现：啊！这个人有很多善良处可能是被我忽略的，很多他的用心也是被我忽略的。

A Mind Transformation Method

Getting along with people is not easy. If the experience is usually not pleasant for you, you could have a shot at this: Take a small booklet, write down 10 good things about the person you dislike most and see how many items you could list down. Are you able to discover 10 pleasant points about him or her every day? Eg. He is able to excel in all tasks performed. Continue this procedure every day and slowly you will discover – “Ah! This person has numerous virtuous qualities that could have been ignored by me and most of his diligence are also neglected by me.”

Cultivate a grateful heart

A grateful heart warms lives like the sun and irrigates our minds like spring water, just like a delightful refreshment that is essential to our lives. How can we cultivate a grateful heart? OMAK. How do we OMAK? Practice. How often should we practice each day? We can practice many times every day. How do we practice? Change our perspective to one of gratitude. Observe how much people help us and benefit us instead of counting how many times they let us down every day. As we practice and practice in this manner, one day, we'll be able to feel thankful to our enemy, for it is because of the hurt and torment that he put me through that enabled me to achieve a great exaltation of mind as well as the rare and precious merit of realisation, allowing me to overcome the deluge of afflictions and the pain they bring.

原谅别人的理路

就算这个人对我很不好，我通常都用一种方法原谅别人，就是：他在生死轮回中，我不要跟他计较了！生死的大苦、爱别离、怨憎会等等的痛苦他都将承受，这些苦已经把他折腾得不成样子了，所以我就原谅他，愿该好好帮忙他才是。

The Reason to Forgive The Other Person

Even if this person is very unkind to me, I will often use a method to forgive the other person. That is, he is in cyclic life, death and rebirth, and I shall then not bicker with him! These pains and sufferings have to be all tolerated by him – the great suffering of life and death, the separation from what is pleasant, and the encountering what is unpleasant, etc. These sufferings have already tortured him until he is in a very poor state. Consequently I have forgiven him and I should provide good assistance to him instead.

感恩之人最富足

当我们慢慢练习感恩心，会更广阔地看到更多人，更多生命在此时此刻对一切的付出。 任何好的事情都不是从天而降，要学会感恩大众。 有人说：「哪里有贫穷？抱怨的人就贫穷。哪里有富足：感恩的人就富。」

Those Who Are Grateful Are The Richest

When we gradually learn to be grateful, it broadens our perspective as we begin to see so many people and lives making a difference in the moment. All good things do not fall from the sky, we must learn to be grateful to everyone. Some say: “Where can we find poverty? People who grumble live in poverty. Where can we find the Rich? Grateful people are wealthy.”

幸福的筹码

感恩心是幸福的筹码，心里装得越多，实际上幸福感会越强。

Token for Blissfulness

The spirit of gratitude is the token for blissfulness. The more you collect them spiritually, the stronger the feeling of blissfulness in practice actually.

不要失去行善的力

无论在家里或者在什么地方遇到问题，千万不要失去行善的力量！ 用报复心对别人，最终会损失了自己的福报，自己伤害自己。 没有人可以真正伤害你，只有自己放弃了行善的动力，放弃善待这个人的想法，地狱之门才会为自己敞开。

Do Not Lose The Strength Of Performing Virtuous Deeds

Whether we bump into problems at home or somewhere else, we should never lose the strength of performing virtuous deeds. If we take revenge against another person, we will damage and lose our own merits and hurt ourselves eventually. As a matter of fact, no one can truly bring harm to us. Only when we have given up on performing virtuous deeds and forgone the kind thoughts of treating other people well, the door of hell will be opened to us.

离苦得乐在当下

对父母、对亲人、对小孩，甚至老师对学生、学生对老师，员工对老板等等，这个社会中人跟人之间的关系，如果常常能从肯定别人善意的这个角度，用一种很宽容、很感恩的心去沟通的话，这样活过一生，真的会感觉到「离苦得乐」四个字是怎么实现的。就这么简单。

Abandon Suffering and Obtain Happiness in Current Moment

Towards parents, relatives, children, and even teachers towards students, students towards teacher, employees towards bosses, etc. – the interpersonal relationships in this society. If we can always use this perspective of affirming the other person's kindness, with a very tolerant and very grateful spirit to communicate, we will truly feel this phrase “abandon suffering and obtain happiness” how it is being realised by living our entire life in this way. It is as simple as this.

快乐来自发现善

找一些让自己开心的事情，就可以用非常欢乐的心情度过每一天。 例如：发现别人的善心，发现自己的善心，这样就会很开心。

Happiness Originate From Discovering Kindness

Look for some matters that can make you happy, and they will allow you to pass each day with a very joyous mood. For example, discovering others' kindness, discovering your own kindness, and they will make you feel very happy.

念恩度越绝望谷

单单是「念恩」，即可帮我们度越人生多少绝望时光。 仅仅照着经典上这几行字，认真地想，就足以在最苦的时候给予我们最深的安慰，让我们彻底振奋，不敢颓废，不敢变成坏蛋。

Remembering Kindness To Surmount The Valley Of Hopelessness

With solely “remembering kindness”, it can immediately help us surmount many times the feeling of hopelessness. By just following these few lines of words in the scriptures, and thinking conscientiously, it is sufficient to give us the deepest consolation when we are faced with the worst sufferings, allowing us to be entirely inspired, dare not be dispirited, and dare not become a scoundrel.

期待挫折后的崛起

打开自己的心，会让我们没有太多的怖畏，尤其是与人相处的时候，愿意对大家敞开心扉，就更能够用比较积极的态度，看待自己生命中发生的那些不愉快的事情。 甚至慢慢会有一种期待：在每一个不愉快，每一个挫折后面，都有一个崛起在等着我。

Look Forward To The Rise After A Setback

Opening up our hearts will allow us not to have too much fear, especially when we are getting along with others, and we are willing to open our hearts to everyone, so that we can look at the unpleasant things that happened in our lives with a more positive attitude. Slowly, there will even be a kind of expectation: After every unpleasantness and every setback, there is always a rise waiting for me.

转业的地平线

当我们由于自己或他人，生命遭到重创，而掉到深深的谷底，一无是处，一片黑暗时，彻底放弃并不是解决之道。 可否将那人生低限，看成是地平线。 黑暗与光明都发生在那条线上，太阳从地平线落下，又从地平线升起，何处颁落，何处新生！

Horizon Of Karma Transformation

When our lives have been hit hard by ourselves or others, and we have fallen to the bottom of a deep valley, with nothing good at all and plunged into total darkness, giving up completely is not the solution. Can you regard the lowest threshold of your life as the horizon? Darkness and luminosity happen on that same line. The sun sets from the horizon and rises again from the horizon. Wherever it goes down, where will it be risen!

百折不挠的修行之路

凡夫刚开始修行有没有可能不做错？ 念头有没有可能不错？ 不可能！ 所以做错之后，第一时间不要去哀叹，内心正念的大 军就在眼前，能立刻召集的救援部队就是「忏悔」，赶快整顿，让自己重新获得铠甲，重新获得宝剑，开始还击，把善法的城池抢回来，这就是百折不挠的修行之路！

Be Undaunted Despite Of All Setbacks On The Path Of Practicing

When lay practitioners embark on the path to practice, can they possibly not make any mistake at all? Can their thoughts be absolutely correct? Not possible! That's why after making mistakes, do not lament at the first instant. The army of mindfulness is right in front of us. If we can immediately gather the rescue forces of “repentance”, we should quickly reorganise, regain our armour, re-possessed our precious swords and start fighting back to snatch the city of virtuousness back. Be undaunted despite of all setbacks on the path of practicing!

全心关注他人

真正想要生起菩提心的时候，就会非常在意自己有没有为他人拼尽全力。 如果自己对他人的问题有所保留，没有想尽办法去帮忙，就会觉得遇到这个人却没有彻底利益他，心里会非常过意不去。

Care For And Focus On Others Wholeheartedly

When you truly want to arise the spirit of enlightenment, you will be very concerned about whether you have given your best efforts for others. If you have reservations on other people's problems and have not thought of every means to help, you will feel that you encounter this person without completely benefiting him, and you will feel very apologetic.

加油！行善的人

行善並非易事，先要扭转自心的方向。风和日丽下的善行，美妙温馨，凄风苦雨中的善行，更如彩虹亮丽。无须停下脚步，行善的人们啊！加油！

Cheer On! Virtuous Practitioner

Performing virtuous act is not an easy task. First we have to twist and turn the direction of our mind. Virtuous act on a breezing and sunny day is wonderful and heart-warming, and virtuous act in a period with chilly wind and bitter rain is even brighter and prettier like a rainbow. Virtuous practitioners! Cheer on!

扭转为「我」的习惯

发心遇到的最大问题，就是以他人为中心，还是以自我为中心的这种拉拔，一旦跳跃过就习惯了。 以他人为中心久了之后，偶而突然想到「我」，就会觉得很惭愧：「怎么又想自己了呢？这并非快乐之道。」所以这是一个习惯的问题。

Reverse The Habit Of “I”

The biggest problem that one encounters while making aspiration is like a tug-of-war on whether to focus on others or oneself. Once you have leaped across, you will get used to it. After being centred on others for a long time, at times when I suddenly think of “I”, I feel ashamed: “Why are you thinking for yourself again? This is not the way to happiness.” Hence this is an issue pertaining to habit.

君子和而不同

勇于沟通，并真心地接纳不同的想法，就算有不同的想法，还是可以成为很好的道友。

A Noble Person's Harmony In Diversity

Pluck up the courage to communicate, and sincerely accept different ideas. Even if there is a difference in opinions, we can still become very good practitioners of the path.

省察三门断苦因

一定要了知自己现在的心在想什么，嘴在说什么，身在做什么。 必须有了知自心的能力，当它趣向伤害别人的方向时，要如驯马师一般把它拉回来，因为断除了从三门自害害人的行为，我们的未来才会快乐。

Examine And Scrutinise Our Body, Speech And Mind To Sever Cause Of Suffering

We must know and understand what our mind is thinking now, what our mouth is saying, and what our body is doing. We must have the ability to know and understand our own mind, when it is heading towards hurting others, we must pull it back like a horse trainer, because by severing the harmful actions originating from our body, speech and mind that are hurting ourselves and others, we will then have happiness in the future.

改变痛苦的记忆

当感觉被伤害的时候，要去缘念三宝，这样的话，事后回忆到那段痛苦时，也会同时忆起缘念三宝的心。 当痛苦强烈地一直挥之不去，一定要把三宝的力量注入自己的痛苦之中，去改变那种记忆。

Alter Our Painful Memory

When we felt hurt, we must think about the Three Jewels. By doing so, when we recall the painful experience aftermath, we will also remember the Three Jewels in our mind at the same time. When our pain and suffering are so strong that they are impossible to be discarded, we must inject the strength of the Three Jewels into these moments of suffering, to alter such memories.

守护意业不容缓

很多痛苦都是从意业开始的。 发现自己的意业已经开始在犯罪的时候，要悬崖勒马，不可以再往前去一步。 因为想久了，自己的身体，语言就失控了，到那个时候再想把它拉回来，就来不及了，所以一定要警惕自己的意业。

Guard And Protect Our Mind With No Delay

A lot of pain and suffering started from the thoughts in our mind. When we discovered that our minds are beginning to commit sins, we have to rein them in immediately and cannot let them advance another step. That's because when we think about it for a longer period, we will then lose control on our body and speech. When we subsequently try to pull it back by then, it will be too late. Hence, we must be vigilant on the thoughts in our mind.

坦然面对错误

犯错时有一条思路：走遇了最黑的地方，光明就在前面。由于看到了心灵黑暗之处，就可以去对治它，对治后这个弱点就不存在了。基于这个原因，我们可以坦然面对自己的错误。

Facing Our Mistakes Calmly

A perspective for us when we made a mistake: When we walk past the darkest place, the radiance is just in front of us. As we have seen the dark side of our spirituality, then we can mend it, and after mending it this weakness will no longer exist. Based on this reason, we can calmly face our own mistake.

滴水之恶不可轻

像水滴那样小的恶业，由于不忏悔，日积月累地继续造作下去，到最后它可能会变成像大海那么沉重的恶业。 在嘻笑着，很轻松的状态下造作的恶业，未来的果报可能是我们承担不起的。

The Evil of Dripping Water Cannot Be Taken Lightly

A bad karma as small as a drop of water, because it was not repented, and built up over days and accumulated over months as we continued producing it, in the end it can turn into a bad karma as heavy as the sea. We may not be able to bear the future fruition of the evil karma created in a very relaxed state while laughing.

包容他人的理路

为什么他会这样？ 因为他很苦啊！ 事实上每个人都很苦，所以没必要在彼此的矛盾上苦上加苦，一直要在他受不了的地方再去折磨他。 何妨就给他一个空间，让他可以度过毛病还没改的这个时候。

Line Of Reasoning To Accommodate Others

Why does he do this? Because he is suffering greatly! In fact, everyone is suffering, hence there is no need to add suffering to each other's conflicts, and to torture him where he can't stand it all the time. Why not give him a space so that he can survive this time when his shortcoming has not been corrected.

忏悔须知恶因

必须要找到「因」是什么，为什么我一直要做这件事？到底合不合理？佛陀说这样做是不对的，为什么我一直要这样做，我到底有没有道理？把它想清楚！忏悔要这样。

Repentance Must Realise Cause of Fault

I must find out what was the 'cause'? Why do I always want to do this action? Is it proper at all? The buddha said that this action is not correct, why do I always want to do this? Do I have any reason at all? Think through it clearly. Repentance must be in this way.

沾脏了更该洗净

我们犯了错，通常会在那里恐惧啊，忧恼啊。 其实这除了更深地折磨自己，丝毫帮助也没有。 如果沾染了罪恶，更应急速地跳进清净的水池，洗涤自己，因为罪业是可以忏悔净化的。

Must Clean Up Even More When Tainted With Dirt

When we have made a mistake, usually we will be in fear and feeling distressed. Other than torturing ourselves further, this in fact, does not provide any assistance at all. If we are tainted with sin, we should quickly jump into a pure and clean pool of water to wash up ourselves. That's because we can repent and purify our negative karma.

修出忏悔的善法

道歉的心如果生不起来，或者有了道歉的心，却没有勇气跟别人道歉，不能任由它这样。 忏悔是个大善法，一定要把这个善法修出来！

Put Into Practice The Virtuous Act of Repentance

If our intention to apologise cannot be produced, or if we have the intention to apologise but do not have the courage to apologise to the other person, we cannot let it be in this manner. Repentance is a great virtuous act, we must put into practice this virtuous act!

拜佛改变命

专一至诚，以全部的身语意，礼佛！ 口中缘念佛名，意中想佛，身体礼佛，当下心境开朗真纯，杂念全无。 透过拜佛，可能会实现心中的梦。 坚持拜下去，有一天，似乎就发现了一个全新的我，也发现了一个全新的世界。 因为身心，气质都改变了，所以此生后面的命运也都改变了。

Prostrations To Buddha Changes Our Destiny

Pay homage with absolute focus and sincerity using all our body, speech and mind. While we recite Buddha's name, we also visualise Buddha in our mind and bow with our body. At this moment, our hearts will be brightened with purity without any trace of distracting thoughts. Through prostrations to Buddha, we can realise our dreams. With persistence in the prostrations, one day we will somewhat discover a new “me” as well as a new world. This is because our body and mind have changed, our personality and temperament have changed, therefore our destinies ahead have also been transformed.

迎向最亮丽的阳光

只要在佛前供上一盏灯，点上一炷香，或者站在佛前看着佛菩萨的容颜， 那慈悲深邃的眼神，永远像一束最亮丽的阳光，照亮我们的内心深处。

Welcome The Brightest Sunlight

Once we offer a lamp in front of Buddha, light an incense, or stand in front of Buddha looking at the smiling faces of the bodhisattva and Buddha, their compassionate and deep gazes, are always like a bouquet of brightest sunlight, illuminating deep into our hearts.

祈求时就不孤单

祈求的时候，会觉得佛菩萨在倾听，至少在那时不会觉得是自己一个人面对困境，有佛菩萨和我在一起面对。

Not alone when praying

When praying, I will feel that the Buddha and Bodhisattva are listening, at least at that time, I will not feel that I am facing the dilemma alone, and there is a Buddha and Bodhisattva together with me.

从更高的缘起看事情

一旦去皈依祈求， 就会从一个很长远的生命角度，很宽阔的缘起，去看待眼前发生的这件小小的事情。

Look At Matters From A Higher Level Of Dependent-Arising

The moment we take refuge and supplicate, we will look at the small matter happening right now, from a much farther perspective of life and a much wider perspective of dependent-arising.

皈依是永恒的依靠

皈依，就是在任何危险、孤独无助的境界之中，有一个永恒保护的力量，那是我们生命深处一个非常非常温暖、始终会发出力量的依靠。

Conversion is eternal dependence

Conversion is the power of eternal protection in any dangerous, lonely and helpless realm. It is a very, very warm, deep-rooted dependency in our lives.

依教奉行方能除苦

佛陀不是用水洗除我们的罪，或者用手拔除我们的痛苦，而是我们要依照他讲的真理去认真地改变自己的生命，如果像他所说的那样改变了， 我们的痛苦就消失了。

Practice In Accordance To The Teachings Can Then Eradicate Sufferings

Buddha does not wash away our sins with water nor does he use his hands to remove our sufferings. Instead, we must follow the truth that he said and earnestly change our own lives. If we change as he had said, our sufferings then will disappear.

一定要成佛

佛陀这么圆满的状态，为我们的生命树立了一个目标：我将来也要像他一样！这就是学佛最究竟的目标，我们一定要成佛！

Definitely Must Become a Buddha

Buddha had established a goal for our lives with such a perfect state – I want to be exactly like him in the future! This is the ultimate goal to learn from the buddha. We must definitely become a buddha!

解决问题的良方

我们常常苦于事情到底该怎么办，冥思苦想地找办法。其实有一种办法就是祈求，它会让我们的心从现有的智慧层面上，更上层楼地去考虑问题。当慧力提高的时候，就知道这个问题该怎么解决了。

Good Method to Solve Issue

We are always troubled with how things should exactly be done, meditating and racking our brains to find a method. In fact there is one method and that is supplication. It will allow our mind to elevate from our current level of wisdom to a higher level to consider the issue. When the strength of our wisdom has improved, we will know how to solve this issue then.

改变角度心更宽广

祈求会改变我们的业力，改变我们看问题的角度。 看问题的角度一变，很多问题就看开了。 凡夫最大的问题，就是执着此时此刻的现象是确实的，永恒不变的，所以必须改变自己的现行，我们的理路才能在更广阔的空间悠游。

Change In Perspective Opens Our Hearts Wider

Supplication will change our karma and change the perspective we look at problems. Once this perspective is adjusted, we will be able to resolve many problems. The biggest problem with lay person is the attachment to the current phenomenon being real and permanent. That's why we must change our current behaviour in order to allow our reasoning to cruise in a much bigger space.

挫败只是虚妄的心情

挫败感只是一种心情，并非我的生命真是那样。

Feeling Defeated is a Deceiving Mood

Feeling defeated is just one of our moods. It doesn't mean my life is such.

戒律是什么

没有戒律就没有佛教。戒律是什麽？就是二六时中看着自己的身口意，不要趣向恶行，要趣向如法行。

What is Ethical Discipline

If there is no ethical discipline, then there is no buddhism. What is ethical discipline? It simply means watching our own body, speech and mind within the six periods of the day and night, not to incline towards non-virtuous acts, and must incline towards proper actions.

持戒是最深的回馈

世上有很多善，但有一种善叫戒善。 受者戒从传戒的善知识得到戒体，翻无始轮回的「迷」为「觉」，翻害人为利人，心心念念只要持戒回向这个世界，那就是最宏伟的资粮善，是对这个世界深深的报恩与回馈。

Maintaining Ethical Discipline Is The Deepest Repayment

There are many types of virtues in the world, but one type of virtue is the virtue of precepts. The precept recipient obtains the essence of precepts from his Excellent Teacher delivering the precepts, turns the ‘delusion' in beginingless cyclic existence to ‘enlightenment', turns from harming others to benefiting others, and constantly thinking of maintaining ethical discipline to dedicate to this world. That precisely is the most magnificent virtuous merits, and is the deepest gratitude and repayment to this world.

相信因果欢喜持戒

为什么会好好持戒？ 相信因果呀！ 佛陀说现在快乐，将来还是快乐的事情，要不要做？ 要。 现在快乐，但将来痛苦的事情，要不要做？ 不要。 现在痛苦，将来快乐的事情，要不要做？ 要。

Believe In Karma And Uphold Ethical Discipline Joyfully

Why should we uphold our ethical discipline properly? Because we believe in karma! Should we do things that Buddha said will bring us happiness now and in the future too? Yes. How about those that will bring pain and suffering instead in the future? No. Pertaining to those that give us suffering now but lead to happiness in future? Yes.

戒律的味道

戒律的味道就是清凉，可以熄灭内心烦恼的炽烈火焰，让我们的生命安住在一种安全舒适的状态。 快乐的因会出生快乐的果，苦涩的因会出生痛苦的果。 持戒就是快乐的因，所以会结快乐的果！

The Taste Of Ethical Discipline

The taste of ethical discipline precisely is cool and refreshing. It can extinguish the blazing flames of afflictions within our minds, and let our lives abide in a secured and comfortable state. The causes of happiness will bear fruits of happiness, while causes of bitterness will bear fruits of suffering. Ethical discipline is precisely a cause of happiness, hence it will bear fruits of happiness!

内心的一轮明月

为什么要学戒、持戒、让戒律清净呢？就是为了得到快乐啊！因为所有生命都渴望内心的那一份清凉和悦意，而这一段路佛陀已经指给我们了，就是戒律！每一件事怎么做全部都说得清清楚楚，如灯明照，脚下踏实，依之而行，大千虽阔，何事非持？持之越久，清凉越胜，彷佛有一轮明月，朗耀内心。

The Luminous Moon in Our Hearts

Why must we learn the precepts, maintain the precepts and let our ethical discipline be pure? It is for the sake of achieving happiness! Because all living beings in their hearts yearned for coolness and blissfulness. Buddha had already pointed out this segment of the path to us and it is ethical discipline! How to perform every task was disclosed very clearly in detail like an illuminating lamp, the steps to take are steadfast and we can depend on it to walk the path. Though the world is so vast, what should we persevere? The longer we persevere, the more we will experience the coolness, as if there is a luminous moon, bright and radiant in our hearts.

如是因如是果

我们必须清醒地知道，死后能带往他世的是业，而业就是我面对别人造作身语意行为所累积的，这些到最后都会回到自己头上。 就像对着大风举起火把，一定会烧到自己;如果对着风散花，回到自己身上的也是鲜花。

The Cause that Resulted in the Effect

We must understand consciously what we bring forward to the next life after death is our karma. And karma is accumulated by the actions of our body, speech and mind towards others. All of these behaviours will come back to us in the end. Just like raising a fire torch against the strong wind, we will surely burn ourselves; if we scatter the flowers in the wind, these fresh flowers will also be showered back upon us.

光明与力量的生源

在任何取舍的幽暗之处，唯有借着善知识点亮的这盏灯，我们才能够看清脚下的路。 在心灵面临非常艰苦的断崖时，也唯有忆念善知识的教诫，想到善知识对我的慈悲，才能生出一个力量，就是「我不要退！」

The Source Of Light And Power

To make any decision in the dark, only through this lamp lit by the Excellent Teacher can we see the way under our feet. When the mind is facing an extremely difficult cliff, only by remembering the explications of the Excellent Teacher and thinking of the compassion of the Excellent Teacher towards me can a force be born, that is, “I don't want to retreat!”

修信能生无穷心力

对善知识的信心是一件非常奇妙的事情，它产生的力量能让我们穿越数不清的困境，好像心力无穷。 有时遇到困难会觉得：啊！ 大概没有什么力了。 但是只要忆念到善知识，就会坚决地想到：因为他走在前面，我必须跟随，没有退路！ 力量也就生起了。

Practising Faith Can Develop Inexhaustible Strength

Faith towards our excellent teachers is something wondrous. The power it generates can allow us to overcome countless predicaments, as if there is inexhaustible strength. When met with a difficult situation, sometimes we will feel: “Ah! I probably have not much strength left.” However, when we recall our excellent teachers, we will resolutely think: “Because he has walked ahead, I must follow, there is no turning back!” Then power is thus generated.

领受照进身心的阳光

善知识的心，像一个完美的世界，是我们在这个苦难的世界，被很多业障、邪见所障蔽时，能够照临到我们身心深处的阳光。只要用心去感受阳光，生命就会无限地温暖。

Receive the Sunshine Shining into our Body and Mind

The mind of a virtuous teacher, is like a perfect world. When we are obstructed by many karmic hindrances and wrong views, in this world filled with suffering and hardships, it is the sunshine that is able to penetrate and shine into the depths of our body and mind. As long as we feel the sunshine attentively, our lives will be warm infinitely.

善知识在乎什么

善知识不在乎你过去怎样，他在乎的是你未来会怎样。 因为在乎你的未来是否幸福，所以会格外珍惜你的当下。

What Is The Excellent Teacher Concerned About

The Excellent Teacher is not concerned about your past, what he is concerned about is your future. Because he is concerned whether your future is happiness, hence he will especially cherish your current moment.

饮水思源

当我们站在一棵千年的大树前，会惊叹它怎么叶子这么繁茂，树干这么粗壮，而有心人就会感恩：是谁种了这棵树，我才有今日的荫凉！

Gratitude To The Source Of All

Standing in front of a thousand years old tree, we will marvel at its lush leaves and stout trunk, while those who feel with a heart will pay their gratitude: Who has planted this tree, that allowed me to enjoy its shade now!

转变追寻快乐的方向

修信念恩会让我们的生命有所转变，不再依靠外在物质或者感官的满足来让自己快乐。 由于善知识不停地指引，真正的快乐就在省察自心的过程中真实地产生。

Transform The Direction Of Pursuit of Happiness

Cultivating faith and remembering the kindness will transform our lives. We will not need to rely on satisfaction from external material or satisfaction through our sensory organs to make ourselves happy. Due to the continuous guidance from our virtuous Teachers, true happiness is produced in the process of examining and reflecting on ourselves.

信心由不断串习而来

修信，就是让我们的心经过不断地观察，串习，成为那个信本身。 所谓的修，就是原来内心没有的证德透过数数地熟练，数数地串习，令它生起，令它茁壮，令它圆满。

Faith Comes From Continuous Practice

Cultivating faith is to let our minds become the faith itself through constant observation and practice. The so-called cultivation is to progress the initial non-attainment of merits, to make it arise, make it healthy and strong, and making it complete through repeated familiarisation and practice.

走向美好的秘訣

如何擺脫心靈的重壓，吸取到正能量？就是面對事情時，嘗試看到它積極的一面，擺脫只看到不好一面的習慣。心靈之眼一直注視著美好，就會下意識地跟著它，走在美好、光明之中。

The Happy Recipe

What is the secret to removing hopelessness and absorbing positive energy? It is the ability to observe the positive aspect of things. With our eyes looking closely at beauty, unconsciously, we will follow and walk towards happiness and hope.

养成光明的思路

一定要去想：这件事情它积极的一面是什么？ 要不辞辛苦地训练自己，养成光明正向的思路习惯之后，遇到任何问题都会很勇敢，很欢喜，因为眼睛总是能看到那些美好。 视野之下，遍布生机，一路光明，喜乐倍增

Cultivate Positive Mentality

We must think: What is the positive aspect of this incident? We must strive against all odds to train ourselves to cultivate the habit to have a positive and forward-looking mentality. Then we will be courageous and joyful when we encounter any problem because our eyes will surely notice the beauty of positivity. Everything within our vision flourishes with vitality, the path is filled with positivity, while joy and happiness are multiplied.

明天的我可以不一样

今天的我，明天可能焕然一新，这是佛法最不可思议的地方！ 所以千万不要把自己或别人看死了。

The “I” Tomorrow Can Be A Different “Me”

Who I am today, can be an entirely brand new person tomorrow, this is the most incredible aspect of Buddha's teaching! Therefore do not fixate ourselves or others at a permanently unchangeable state.

爱自即是众苦

因以自我为中心的偏执，搅扰着那一湖静水，但凡有事发生，怪外境的习气便鱼贯而出，甚至一发不可止，无奈越执着苦越多， 不如对境当下，痛击我爱执，生命方获几许清凉。

Self Love Is Equivalent To All Suffering

Due to the prejudice caused by self-centredness, it disturbs the lake of tranquility within us. Whenever something happens, the habit of blaming external factors will start pouring out and even become unstoppable. Helplessly the more attached we are, the more suffering we will have. On the contrary, why don't we attack the attachment towards ourselves when the situation arises? In this way, at least our lives will receive some refreshing coolness.

决断前行必勇悍

所有的苦难，最终都会让我变得更勇悍！所以必须在这条菩提路上决断前行，没有刹那的犹豫，也不要有一丝丝的退意。

Decision to Move Ahead is Certainly Bravery

All the sufferings and difficulties will ultimately cause me to become more brave! Consequently, we must decide to move ahead on this bodhi path, and do not have any moment of hesitation. Moreover, do not have any slightest thought of retreat.

改恶习要真修实练一下

什么东西做久了都会习惯，不停在恶行面前屈服也是习惯。 不停作小丑也是习惯，不停欺骗别人，欺骗自己也是习惯。 修行这件事情是不能靠谎言来撑的，对治习气必须要付出极其扎实的努力。

Change Of Bad Habits Requires True Cultivation And Actual Practice

Whatever that has been done for a long period of time will become a habit, and continuously giving in to non-virtuous actions is also a habit. Continuously acting as a clown is also a habit, and continuously deceiving others and deceiving oneself are also habits. Cultivation, this matter cannot be supported by lies, to remedy habitual practices require investment of extremely sturdy efforts.

时时觉照自心

修行要能够每时每刻洞悉到自己的心灵在发生什么事情，并且善于引导自己的心走向正确的方向，不停地弃暗投明。 学习觉照的第一步，要先打击最粗猛的烦恼。

Be Mindful Of Our Mind-stream Constantly

As a practitioner, we must be insightful to what is happening in our mind every moment. Be adept in guiding our mind towards the right direction, forsaking the wrong views and adopting the right ones continuously. To learn mindfulness, first and foremost, we must strike the heaviest and strongest affliction.

善知识示现悲智行

好好学经论，就会在亲近善知识的过程中，看到很多很多如经论上所写的佛菩萨的事迹。 它不只是一个古老的传说，或很遥远的行径，而是从善知识身语意的示现中，会清晰地看到一种真实悲智功德的流露。

The Excellent Teacher Manifests Deeds Of Compassion And Wisdom

Learn the sutras and treatises well, and in the process of relying on the Excellent Teacher, we will witness the numerous deeds of the bodhisattvas as written in the sutras and commentaries. It is not merely an ancient legend, or a very remote practice. Rather, from the manifestation of the Excellent Teacher's body, speech and mind, we will clearly see the good qualities of true compassion and wisdom being emanated.

转换苦乐标准

由于我们的心一直在正法上串习的缘故，会慢慢不喜欢散乱的状态。 因为一旦品尝到宁静，微妙，不可言喻的喜悦时，谁还会去希求那种会带来很多过患，让心里不寂静的所谓「快乐」呢？ 由于薰习佛法的原因，我们生命中苦乐的标准会发生转换，我们的行为方式也会发生转换。

Change The Benchmarks Of Suffering And Happiness

As our minds are constantly meditating on dharma, we will gradually dislike the state of (mind) being scattered. Because once we have tasted the serene, subtle and indescribable joy, who would still desire for the so-called “happiness” that will bring many faults and causes non-tranquility to the mind? Due to the conditioning and practice of dharma, our benchmarks of suffering and happiness in our lives will change, and the way we behave will also change.

有限生命中该追求的

人生就这么短，得在有限的时间里取得最有用的讯息。 什么叫做有用？ 对众生离苦得乐最有价值的，不随着时代变迁而改变的真理。

What To Pursue In The Limited Lifespan

Life is just so short, we have to obtain the most useful information during the limited time. What is “useful”? The most valuable truth for living beings to be liberated from suffering and attain happiness, the unchangeable truth that can withstand the test of time.

佛陀最深的悲心

不必恐怯谈生死，因为佛陀最深的悲心，就显示在大家无法可想的生死问题上。佛陀想出辨法、走出了出路，而且那么多修行人都冲出了轮回，为什么你我要一直在这苦难的生死城里流连呢？

Deepest Compassion of Buddha

Do not need to be fearful and afraid of discussing about life and death. Because the deepest compassion of Buddha is reflected on the inconceivable question we have on life and death. Buddha had thought of a solution and found the way out, and so many practitioners had rushed out of cyclic existence. Why should you and me keep lingering in this city of life and death filled with suffering?

千古真理如百炼金

佛法如果经不起质疑，怎么能够成为千古传颂、这么多杰出的人都依之修行成就的一个真理？所以它经得起质疑，越质疑会显示它的纯度，就像黄金被火炼一样。

The Truth Through the Ages is Like Well Refined Gold

If buddha's teaching is unable to withstand questioning, how can it be eulogised through the ages, and be the truth that so many outstanding people had relied on to practise and achieved their attainment? Hence it is able to withstand questioning, and the more it is being questioned, it will reflect on its purity. Exactly like gold being refined in fire.

律己是修行根本

解脱之路，成佛之道是从要求自己开始的。 在一切境界中，请把目光转向自己的心念，再看看嘴在说什么，身在做什么，一定要把持不要造恶业，这是修行最重要的事情。

Self-discipline Is The Root Of Our Practice

The road towards liberation and the path towards buddhahood begin from setting expectation on ourselves. In any circumstance, kindly turn our view inwards to our mind and thoughts, then observe what our mouths are speaking and the actions our body are doing. We have to restrain ourselves from committing non-virtuous karma, this is the most important matter pertaining to our practice.

靠近佛菩萨的机会

碰到的困难越多，提醒自己向佛菩萨祈求的机会就越多，这样的活，每一次的困难都更加密切了自己和佛菩萨的联系，到最后就密不可分了！

Opportunities to be Near Buddhas and Bodhisattvas

The more predicaments we faced, the more opportunities we will have to remind ourselves to supplicate to the buddhas and bodhisattvas. Living in this way, every predicament will forge closer ties between us and the buddhas and bodhisattvas each time, and we will become so inseparable in the end!

依戒如理作善友

利益一个人、帮助一个人要依於戒，让他对戒律生起希求心、信心。令他作恶的时候作不成，做善的时候都能成就，这样的人就叫作善知识和善友吧！

One Who Rely on Precepts Properly Makes a Virtuous Friend

To benefit a person and help him, one must rely on precepts, and one has to arouse the person's interest and his faith on ethical discipline. Make him unable to accomplish any non-virtuous act and cause him to always accomplishes his virtuous action. Then one shall be known as a virtuous teacher and friend!

依善士语净恶业

如果做了坏事就永远不可救药，那忏悔不就是空话了？ 所以在苦果还没有成熟之前，依止善知识的教诫，对恶业进行有力的净治，会产生不可思议的力量。

Relying on Excellent Persons' Words to Purify Non-Virtuous Karma

If there is no remedy forever after committing a bad deed, then wouldn't repentance become empty words? Hence, before the fruits of suffering ripens, rely on the explications of excellent teachers and purifying non-virtuous karma with vigour, will result in unbelievable power.

修信以为根本

信心是怎么来的？ 修来的。 所以在亲近善知识的时候，修信是最重要的根本，这也是整个成佛之道的命脉，根本。 「根本」是什么意思？ 如果没有这个，就不会有其他的枝干或花果。

Cultivate Faith As The Root

How is faith developed? Through cultivation. Hence, when relying on the Excellent Teachers, cultivating faith is the most important fundamental, this is also the lifeline and root of the entire path to achieve Buddhahood. What is the meaning of “root”? If this is absent, there will not be other branches, flowers or fruits.

万善根本由师出

「万善根本从师出，能生利乐如良田」，每断一个过失，生一个功德全赖于善知识。 从开始发心，中集资粮到最后成佛，整个成佛之路我们不可能离开善知识独自去成就。 所以值遇善知识后，最重要的一点就是要持续不断地修信念恩。

All Virtuous Deeds Are Inspired By Virtuous Teacher

All virtuous deeds originate from virtuous teacher and the virtuous teacher can produce benefits and happiness like a fertile field. Every fault we eradicate and each merit we gain are all dependent on the virtuous teacher. Beginning from our spirit of enlightenment, accumulating merits in the process, to becoming a Buddha in the end, we cannot abandon our virtuous teacher to achieve our own attainment on this path towards Buddhahood. Consequently after we have met our virtuous teacher, the most important thing is to cultivate faith towards our teacher and constantly remember our teacher's kindness continuously.

沟通从倾听开始

每个人都可以做沟通的高手，先要学会尊重他人，不要强硬地把自己的观点塞给别人。 如果能付出真心听对方说话，花时间了解别人内心的苦楚和难点，那就更佳。 因为你愿意作他的忠实听众，有一天当你说出真知灼见，他也会认真地倾听。

Communication Starts From Listening Attentively

Everyone can also be an expert in communication, first learn to respect others and not force your own view points on others. If you can listen to others with a sincere heart, spend time to understand the distresses and difficulties in other people's hearts, that is even better. Because you are willing to be his loyal listener, one day when you share the true penetrating insights, he will also earnestly listen attentively.

法如明珠能净浊

法本身的作用就是清凉，有涤净烦恼的作用。 就像一杯浑浊的水，一颗明珠放下去之后，水就变得澄澈。

Dharma Is Like A Pearl That Can Purify Turbidity

The function of dharma itself is to cool and purge the afflictions. Just like a cup of turbid water, after a pearl is placed inside, the water becomes clear then.

相互撞击进步快

一堆马铃薯如果单独一颗一颗洗，会费时良久。 若集中一起，放入水中，不停搅动，相互撞击，泥巴就掉得很快。 大家的优缺点不一样，互相碰撞，互相学习，很快地一些问题就解决了。

Improvement Is Faster Colliding With One Another

If you wash a pile of potatoes one by one individually, it will take a long time. If you gather them together, place them into water, churning them continuously and letting them collide with one another, the mud on them will drop off very quickly. As everyone's strength and weakness are not the same, when we collide with one another and learn from one another, some problems will then be solved very quickly.

主宰自己的幸福

就内心的状态来说，感恩就代表着幸福，抱怨就代表着不幸。 所以活在天堂还是活在地狱里，自己能不能主宰呢？

Dictate Your Own Happiness

As far as the state of the heart is concerned, gratitude represents happiness, and complaint represents misfortune. Hence whether you live in heaven or hell, are you able to dictate it?

对境觉察提正念

改变世界从改变内心开始，改变内心从改变知见开始；要改变自己的行为，从每一次对境提起正念开始；而提起正念，是从每一次对境的时候要觉察现行烦恼开始。

Be Aware And Mindful When Faced With A Situation

To change the world, we have to start from changing our mind. To change our mind, we have to start form changing our view. To change our behaviour, it starts from lifting our mindfulness every single time we face a situation. In order to be mindful, we have to start by being aware of our behaviour and afflictions whenever we face the situation.

拔除恶习最痛快

只有对付自己，打倒自己的恶习的时候，才会感受到真正的痛快。

Eradicate Bad Habits Most Joyful

Only by dealing with ourselves and overthrowing our own bad habits, then we can feel the true joy.

心念决定生命方向

语言就是思路的一个腾飞，一念一念的连结。 你最初的动机趣向哪里，你的语言就会带着你趣向哪里，心念趣向哪里，最后生命就会趣向那里。

The Mind Determines The Life's Direction

Language is the take-off of ideas, the connection of each thought. Wherever your initial motivation is, your language will bring you towards wherever it is, and wherever your mind is, then life will be directed towards there in the end.

命运握在自己手上

一分善业一分快乐，真实不虚，命运就握在自己手上。 已经知道了什么叫恶，什么叫善，只要在克制自己习气的部分再努力一些，再努力一些，快乐的路就会越走越坚定。

Our Destinies Are In Our Own Hands

One virtuous act brings the same resulting portion of happiness. It's the absolute truth and without a doubt that our destinies lie in our hands. We have learnt what are non-virtuous and what are virtuous. All we need to do is to work harder and more on restraining our own habits, then the path of happiness will become more certain and firm.

久练成精熟

在对治自心的经验上慢慢积累，慢慢积累，这样练个十年、二十年。生生世世练下去，就成为高手了。修行熟练的人就知道怎么对付自心的烦恼。

Long Term Practice Achieves Mastery

Slowly accumulating the experiences to apply remedies on our mind, and continue to accumulate slowly such experiences for ten to twenty years. By practicing lives after lives, we will then become a highly skilled person. Skilful practitioners will know how to deal with own afflictions in the mind.

最大的勇士

佛陀是大勇士，从来不避讳人生的每一分痛苦，不会用一种涂清凉油或者掩耳盗铃的方式，去解决我们生命的苦果和苦因。他都是直击性的，直接抽剑、直接击毙痛苦，从不躲闪。

The Greatest Warrior

Buddha is a great warrior and he had never avoided and shunned any single point of pain and suffering in life. He will not use a temporary method like applying soothing ointment to alleviate suffering, or deceive himself such as covering the ears whilst stealing a bell, in order to solve the effects of suffering and the causes of suffering in our lives. He always confronts pain and suffering directly, draws the sword directly and strikes directly to destroy them. Never had he evaded them.

挥别缺憾种未来因

与其抱怨生命中有这么多缺憾，不如把那些缺憾的，在自己生命里种植出来，以后就不缺了。

Wave Goodbye To Regrets And Plant Causes For The Future

Rather than complaining that there are so many regrets in life, why not grow and fill those voids in your own lives, then you will not be devoid of them in the future.

修行要从自身找问题

希望我们能习惯一种思路：在自己身上找问题，并设法解决它。 修行之路即是如此。

We Must Search For Issues Within Ourselves In Practice

Hope that we get can used to a type of thinking: To search for issues within ourselves, and establish ways to resolve them. The route for practice is such.

净罪集资的真义

佛陀告诉我们断恶修善的法，要照着去做！ 透过不断地学习，实践的过程，将以前错误的认知跟习惯逐渐地改过来，这个部分叫「净罪」；从现在开始慢慢地了解如何行善，养成行善的习气，叫作「集资」。 如果我们现在就在净罪集资的路上，即是正在离苦得乐的行进中！ 应该由衷地为自己感到高兴，想一想，佛陀应该也会为此感到很欢喜吧！

True Meaning Of Clearing Obscuration And Accumulating Merits

We must perform according to the method the Buddha had told us to eradicate non-virtuous acts and practice virtuous acts. Through unceasing learning and putting into practice, we will gradually correct our previous mistaken perspectives and habits. This portion is known as "clearing obscuration". As we slowly begin to understand how to practice virtuous acts from now onwards and cultivating it into a habit, this is known as "accumulating merits". If we are now on the path to clear obscuration and accumulate merits, then we are currently advancing towards abandoning suffering and achieving happiness! We should feel happy for ourselves from the bottom of our hearts and as we think about it, Buddha should also be delighted with this!

痛苦的真正的原因

希望大家真实的洞悉到，是什么原因使自己过得这么痛苦，是不是没有遇到好的人，没遇到好的事，还是自己不会快乐的方法？如果是不会快乐的方法，那么可以「学」如何快乐，可以「练」这个心，让它学会朝着快乐的思路去。

Actual Cause of Pain and Suffering

Hoped everyone truly understands very clearly, what caused yourself to be suffering and living in pain. Is it because you did not meet good people? Or you did not come across good moments? Or you do not know the method to be happy? If you do not know the recipe to be happy, then you could 'learn' how to be happy and 'train' your mind to progress towards thoughts on happiness.

痛苦来自错误的思路

痛苦从哪里产生？错误的理路。 想错了生命就越来越苦；想对了，生命就越来越快乐。 如果越想越痛苦、越想越痛苦，要赶快从你的思路里把心拉回来，这个方向显然是不对的；如果越想心里越慈悲、越宽容，那么这样的思路是我们应该采取的。

Suffering Originates From Wrong Train Of Thought

Where does suffering originate from? Wrong logical thinking. When thought wrongly, life becomes more and more bitter; when thought correctly, life then becomes happier and happier. If the more you think the more miserable you get, the more you think the more miserable you become, you must quickly pull your mind back from your train of thoughts, this direction is obviously not right; if the more you think the more your heart is filled with compassion, the more forgiving you feel, then this train of thought is what we should adopt.

摆脱苦难是最辉煌的事

我们看事情就会只看现在的苦，所以修行感到辛苦时就会想退，但实际上我们现在正在做一件最辉煌的事——正在经历摆脱苦难的过程。

Breaking Away From Sufferings Is The Most Glorious Activity

We will only see the present sufferings when we look at things, hence we will want to retreat when we feel that practising (the Dharma) is arduous. However, we are currently doing the most glorious activity in reality - experiencing the process of breaking away from sufferings.

烦恼绝对不能累积

如果有一件事不能累积的话，那一定是烦恼！ 如果有一件事需要马上去做的话，那一定是对治烦恼！ 因为放纵我们的心容蓄烦恼，是对自己最大的伤害。

Definitely Cannot Accumulate Afflictions

If there is one thing we cannot accumulate, then it must be affliction! If there is one task we must do immediately, that will be getting rid of our affliction! If we allow our hearts to be indulgent, it will accumulate more affliction and will hence bring us the greatest harm.

善用智慧能安忍

佛法中所谓的「安受苦忍」，就是用非常智慧的方式去处理痛苦。本来痛苦已经这么多了，如果不智慧地处理，可能会变成极难堪忍，但是如果能用智慧面对，至少会降低大半，甚或可以全部净除。

Leveraging On Wisdom Can Have Patience That Accepts Suffering

“Patience of accepting suffering” in Buddha's teaching is referring to the ability to manage suffering with very wise methods. Life is often full of sufferings. If we do not manage them wisely, it can become extremely unbearable. However, if we are able to face them with wisdom, these sufferings can be reduced significantly at the minimum or even can be totally eradicated.

践踏痛苦最痛快

哪有比践踏痛苦更痛快的？ 「你压迫我，我就把你踩在脚下！」这样心力会越来越强大，生命会越来越散发出一种强大的光芒。 所以痛苦没有毁灭我们，恰恰是这种种痛苦成就了我们！

The Greatest Satisfaction Is To Trample On Suffering

Where can we derive greater satisfaction compared to trampling on suffering? “You [Suffering] oppress me, I will have you stamped under my feet!” With this, our mental strength will grow stronger and stronger, and our lives will also progressively exude a formidable radiance. Hence, suffering did not destroy us. On the contrary, it is the various of suffering that accomplished us!

何必被怨气所绑

其实怨气绑住的不是一个人，是两个人或者更多人。所以还是宽恕了比较好，宽恕了别人，自己也被宽恕了。

Why Should We Be Tied By Resentment

What resentment has really tied down is not just one person, two persons or even more persons. Consequently forgiveness is still better, by forgiving another person, we have also forgiven ourselves then.

用短暂人生创造无限价值

很多人都想要变得更美，那就好好修忍辱，利用这短暂的人生是可以达到的。 想变得更有智慧的话要怎么办？ 研习经典，尊敬有智慧的人，恭敬法宝，还有在佛前供灯等等。 在这一小段生命的努力，对于我们无限生命的影响是非常非常深远的。

Using Our Short Human Life To Create Infinite Value

Many people also wants to become more beautiful, then practise the perfection of patience well, which is achievable by making use of this short human life. What should be done then to gain more wisdom? Research and study the scriptures, respect people who have wisdom, be reverent towards dharma treasures, and also offering lamps to the Buddha, etc. Working diligently in this ephemeral life has an extremely extremely deep and extensive impact on our indefinite lives.

斩除生气的习惯

正因为有人总是惹我们生气，最好把自己喜欢生气这个毛病彻底改了，这样就算所有的有情有一天都来敌对我们，我们都不会再生气了。 要训练自己的心，在对境的时候能够非常熟练地调伏，有一天我们就会变成彻底不会生气的人，像弥勒佛一样，永远都开心。

Sever the Habit of Becoming Angry

It is precisely because there are always going to have people antagonising us, it is best for us to thoroughly eradicate this fault of becoming angry from ourselves. This way, even if all living beings turned their back on us one day, we will never become angry again. We have to train our minds to become extremely skilled at subduing ourselves when confronted by circumstances. One day, we will become persons with no anger at all, like Matreiya Buddha, who is always happy.

转苦涩为快乐

当发现自己有一种习惯的思路，会让自己的人生过得非常苦涩，那么就要把这个习惯改掉，改成快乐的思路。 有快乐的思路就会有快乐的心境，有快乐的心境就会有快乐的人生。 如果自己快乐，就会带给家人，朋友快乐，无论走到哪里都会带给人家快乐。 所以快乐真是一件非常珍贵的礼物，拥有它的人会非常非常地富足。

Transform Bitterness To Happiness

When we discover that we have a habitual thought process that leads us to a life filled with bitterness, then we have to discard this habit and change to happy thoughts. Thoughts of happiness will give rise to a happy mind; a happy mind will lead to a happy life. When we are happy, then we can bring happiness to our families and friends. Wherever we go, we will bring happiness to others too. Hence happiness is a very precious gift and those who possess it will be bountifully rich.

凡夫的苦受

当痛苦来临，感觉苦受似乎被无限增大时，要意识到：这是一个凡夫感受上的认知，并非感受的那般真实！

从初发点击溃苦

当我们的苦受如大海的浊浪拍天，这时再用功就有点晚了。 要从心里开始有一丝丝的不悦，一丝丝的伤心时，就以正念之矛数数击刺我们的苦受。

Defeat Suffering From The Beginning

When the sufferings we are experiencing are like the great turbulent waves in the ocean, it will be too late to work hard on it at this point. We should start practising when our hearts felt the slightest unhappiness, or the slightest sadness, by piercing and attacking the miserable sufferings with the spear of mindfulness.

Must Not Lose Patience with Yourself

You must learn to appreciate yourself in the process of fighting with afflictions. You must not see it as a failure every time.

方法正确还需上阵练

我们已经找到能对治内心烦恼的法，它悲悯和清凉的力量，能让生命的痛苦慢慢变弱。 接下来，就要透过闻思把理路学习清楚，然后上阵实练。

Correct Method Still Requires Practice In Battle

痛苦来自错误的安立

当一个人开始为「我」辩解时，我爱执会极度膨胀，其实我们并不会因此感到快乐。 正是因为迷失了对空性的观察，以为过失完全都是在对方那边，没有一个自己的分别心安立上去的作用，我们才会有这么多痛苦。

Suffering Came From Wrong Mindset

When a person starts to defend for 'his ego', his self-attachment will be immensely inflated. As a matter of fact, we will not derive any happiness from this. This is because we are lost in the observation and reflection about the nature of emptiness. We always assume that the fault is someone else's, and lack the realisation that the perception of this situation was determined by my discursive mind. This is the cause of the immense suffering and pain.

No matter what is the reason, regardless of the predicament, it is not sufficient to make us give up on Dharma! Because it is a gem that is more important than life! Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can even give up their lives in the causal ground, and they also did not give up on Dharma, what are those little predicaments to us?

The Truth Revealed In Trivial Matters

When we handle our daily lives with mediocre awareness, trivial worries will only be trivial worries.

The Climber

When we carry our simple backpack, to conquer the peak of the scriptures, we are stuck at a high level for a very long time due to the bottleneck of physical strength and stamina. Exhausted and unable to to climb anymore, the air is thin and it's difficult to endure the hunger and cold, the chilling wind becomes your combat robe on you and the blowing snow becomes your only food on your lips. Moreover, the peak that you want to reach, is not visible in the deep end of the space. Warrior! Do not despair, kindly concentrate and pay attention to your heart! On the lotus mat within you heart, Sarasvatī, with her heavenly robe flying with the wind, is carrying her musical instrument (vina) and playing the undying song. Warrior! Do not despair, kindly listen attentively, in the vast and extensive space, the war drums are spread all over and playing aloud.

Soak in Practicing Sublime Teaching Elevate our Lives

The current thought of pain and suffering, in fact do not have a substance in its nature actually. It is an illusion, exactly like the glare of sunlight and lightning. After understanding this truth, you will find it ridiculous pertaining to our attachment to suffering. Soaking ourselves in practicing the sublime teaching relentlessly along the way, our familiarity with ourselves will deepen incessantly. We will let go of our attachment to things again and again, and slowly grow our wisdom and compassion. Observe and examine, practice and hone it, progressively effecting the practice. When you reached the depths of the clouds, our spirit has no dirt at all, our heart is clear and radiant, and the sky is vast and the ground is extensive naturally.

心灵风暴的庇护所

就像大风雨来了，鸟都躲到树林里，好像躲进妈妈的怀抱一样，那心灵的风暴来了，我们要躲到哪里去？ 一定是躲到佛菩萨的教言之中，这样就会得到清凉。 所以越是危险，越是烦恼的时候，越要去怀念佛菩萨的法语。

Refuge Of Spiritual Storm

Just like when there is strong wind and heavy rain, birds will hide in the forest as if hiding in the arms of the mother. When the spiritual storm arrives, where can we hide? We must definitely hide in the teachings of the Buddha and bodhisattva, then we will obtain the coolness from it. That's why the more dangerous the moment is, the more afflicted we are, the more we have to reminisce the teachings of the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas.

注视死亡才知道该怎么活

有人说：「不要一谈佛法就谈生死。」实际上必须注视死亡，我们才会知道该怎么活着！

Pay Close Attention To Death To Know How To Live

Someone said, "Don't talk about life and death once you talk about Buddhism.” In fact, we must pay close attention to death, then we will know how to live!"

辩论的意义

要学着去喜欢跟自己唱反调的人，因为没有他的挑战，我的正理宝剑怎么会越来越锐利？ 正由于他总是站在反方，一直提出对立的观点，我们就得拼命学习教理来对付他。 一直交锋，一直对决，最后佛陀的正理在我们内心，就如持剑的勇士，剑锋光华璀灿，威震一切邪解误解！ 我们的心胸坦荡如大海，正见坚固如须弥山王。

Meaning of Debate

We must learn to like people who express different views with us. Because without their challenges, how can our swords with right principles become sharper and sharper? Due to the fact that they are always taking the opposing side and always proposing opposing perspectives, we shall have to learn the teachings and reasonings at all costs to deal with them. Constantly engaging and always confronting them. In the end the right principles from buddha in our minds are like sword-wielding warriors, the sword's edge is brilliance and resplendent and overawe all wrong views and misunderstandings! Our hearts and minds are magnanimous and open like great ocean and our right views are as firm as Mount Meru.

舍自能得大自在

「爱自己就是痛苦的因，爱众生就是快乐的因」，这句话佛在两千五百多年前已经讲了，我们信不信呢？ 信了之后，到关键时刻舍不舍得放下自己？ 舍得下你就赢了！ 现在舍不下，到最后死主来时也是都拿走了，什么也留不下。 所以还是早一点舍，就早一点自在！

Letting Go Of Self Can Gain Great Ease

"Loving yourself is the cause of suffering, and loving all living beings is the cause of happiness", Buddha has said this statement more than 2,500 years ago, do we believe it or not? After we believe, can we bear to let go of ourselves at critical times? If you can bear to let go, you would have won! Now that you can't bear to let go, at the end when the Death Lord comes he will also take away everything, and nothing can be left behind. Hence, it's still to better to let go earlier, and gain sense of ease earlier!

勿因他恶毁自善

当你被深深地伤害的时候，请不要放弃做一个好的理想，因为只有心里想好的，嘴上说好的，身口意都做善行，生命才会越趋完美 。 如果相信因果，就不要因为别人的错误而毁灭自己。

Don't Destroy Your Own Virtue Because Of Others

When you are deeply hurt, please don't give up on a good ideal, because only if you think of goodness in your heart, say virtuous words, and your body, speech and mind are all performing virtuous acts, your life will become closer to perfection. If you believe in cause and effect, don't destroy yourself because of the mistakes of others.

心情不好更要坚守目标

有的人心情不好会放弃目标，其实心情不好更要坚守目标。 因为就是过去造了恶业，没有好好修行佛法，才会心情不好。 如果在心情不好的时候，再放弃造善业的机会，那接下去可能会更加地心情不好。

Hold On To Our Goals Especially When Our Moods Are Not Good

Some people give up their goals when they are not in a good mood. In fact it is even more important to hold on to our goals when our moods are bad. The reason our mood is not good is a result of non-virtuous acts and the lack of proper practice in our previous lives. If we give up again on performing virtuous deeds when our mood is not good, then our mood can become worse subsequently.

闻法能生智慧

为什么听佛法就会发现自己错了？ 因为听法会让心慢慢地平静下来，平静的心才能够生起取舍的智慧，看到敦是孰非;就如一方静湖，白昼可照云霞飞鸟，夜晚怀抱灿灿星空。

Listening To The Teaching Can Generate Wisdom

Why does listening to the teaching help us realised that we are wrong? Because listening to the teaching will slowly calm our mind. A calm mind can then generate the discerning wisdom, to identify what is right or wrong. Just like a tranquil lake, it can reflect the clouds and flying birds in the day, it can embrace the dazzling starry sky in the night.

妄想才是最危险的敌人

最危险的敌人，是自己那些狂妄的想像。 一件很小的事，透过非理作意的扭曲，会变得面目狰狞，如同鬼怪，完全不符合事实的真相，此时如何能做出正确的判断？

Delusion Is The Most Dangerous Enemy

The most dangerous enemy is our wildest imagination. A very small matter, distorted by incorrect thoughts, can be transformed into a sinister appearance like a monster which is totally mismatched with the truth of that matter. How can we make a correct judgement at this point?

压力越大越能撑出刚骨

面对困难苦练久了之后，越大的压力压到你头上，你的反抗力越大，到最后就变成大力士，可以撑起一片天！ 别人都倒了就你站着。 然后看你站着，旁边有些人就会跟着撑起来站着，所以经历的苦难越来越多，越来越多，一个一个修行人的刚骨就全都立起来了。

The Greater The Pressure, The More Able To Shore Up Rigid Bones

After training to face difficulties for a long time, the greater the pressure crushing on your head, the greater your resistance, and in the end you will become a strong man who can shore up the sky! You are standing when others have all fallen. Then, upon seeing you standing, some people next to you will follow and shore themselves up standing. Hence when more and more suffering are experienced, practitioners one by one, all their rigid bones are established.

助人也是自助

每个人的成长都需要有他人的帮忙，善知识就是这样生生世世带着我，我才走到今天。现在轮到我帮助别人，实际上这也是一个帮助自己的过程，就是去学习如何帮助别人，学习如何在很多很多压力下，坚守利他心，不断地朝着光明的方向精进思惟，勇悍前行。

Helping People is Also Self-Helping

The maturing and growth of every person requires the help from other people. The virtuous teacher has been guiding me lives after lives and that is how I arrived at where I am today. Now it is my turn to help other people and in fact this is also the process of helping myself. That is to learn how to help other people and learning how to hold fast to the spirit of benefiting others under numerous layers of pressures, continuously contemplating and joyously persevering towards the direction of radiance and moving ahead bravely.

净化恶习的缘起

正是要靠着帮助别人的缘起，净化无量劫以来的种种恶习：以自我为中心，无视他人，不希求般若智慧等等，所以一直都在无明的束缚下，过着暗无天日的生活。 常常思惟一下，向前走就会有力量！

Purifying The Dependent-Arising Of Non-Virtuous Habits

It is precisely through relying on the dependent-arising of helping others that all kinds of non-virtuous habits accumulated from countless eons are purified: By being self-centred, disregarding others, and not aspiring to gain the Prajna wisdom, etc. Henceforth bound by ignorance all this while, living in darkness without daylight. Contemplate about this often, you will have the strength to advance forward!

缔造神话的信念

我的生命有一个缔造神话的信念，非常希望跟诸位分享，就是：我不向厄运屈服！ 我觉得现在的生命状态是不圆满的，我就要改变它。 不到无死国，精进永无止。

Faith To Create Myths

My life has a myth-making faith, and I very much hope to share it with all of you, that is: I will not succumb to bad luck! I feel that the current state of life is incomplete, and I will have to change it. Without arriving at the kingdom of no death, there is no end to joyous perseverance.

铸造未来的神秘之手

有一双神秘的手在铸造我们的命运 - 那就是心，我们心中的每个起心动念，就在铸造自己的未来。

The Mysterious Hand That Forges Our Future

There is a pair of mysterious hands that forges our destiny - That is our mind, every thought arising in our mind, is forging our future.

与烦恼奋战到底

面对一个邪恶的烦恼习气，我们必须要数数地修，就是一天一天，一月一月，一年一年，乃至一生一生，矢志不移地战斗下去。

Fighting Afflictions To The End

Facing an evil affliction and habit, we must practice to fight it continuously, meaning day by day, month by month, year by year, even lives after lives. We must fight it to the end with an unshaken vow.

与其担忧不如奋斗

与其胡思乱想，担忧自己的未来，不如打定主意当下好好奋斗。

Strive Instead Of Worrying

Instead of letting imagination run wild, worrying about our future, why not set our minds to strive in current instant.

四字箴言

有的时候一直努力，一直努力，结果还没有出现，这时就看一看：我努力的目标有没有偏误？ 如果依据经论确定方向没有错误，次第没有倒乱，现在还没有出现结果怎么办？ 四个字 - 「继续努力」！

Four Words Motto

Sometimes when we keep striving and striving again, but the outcome has not appear yet, take a look and see at this point: Is there a deviation or misalignment from the goal that I'm striving for? If it follows the scriptures and certainly there is no mistake in the direction or disorder in the steps, then what needs to be done if right now, there is no outcome yet? Four words - “Continue and Keep Striving”!

苦乐操之在我

一旦发现我们的心，对自己是否快乐负有决定性的责任时，就会特别振奋，用很大的力度来了解自心。 了解了苦乐是自己可以去造作的时候，怎么能坐在那里白白受苦呢？ 一定会行动起来，去息灭恶业，广造善业！

Suffering And Happiness Are Controlled By Me

Once we discover that our mind carries the conclusive responsibility on whether we are happy, we will be extremely inspired and spend a lot of efforts to understand our own mind. How can we be sitting there and suffer for nothing when we have understood that suffering and happiness can be created by ourselves? We will definitely start to take actions to eradicate non-virtuous karma and create vast virtuous karma!

转心

这个世界是不是很不完美？那佛陀为什么以指按地，它就变成金色的净土？到底是它真的不完美，还是由于我们的心不完美，使得映入我们眼帘的世界就是不完美的？那么要诀在哪里？就是转心！

Reframe (the) mind

Is this world imperfect? Why did the Buddha press the ground with his fingers and it turned into golden pure land? Is it really imperfect, or is it because our hearts are imperfect that the world that sees us is imperfect? So what's the secret? Just reframe (the) mind!

离苦得乐必须勤学苦练

如果想了解离苦得乐是怎么回事的话，我们必须勤学苦练 —— 勤奋地学习教理，然后对境当下要彻底扫荡自己的无明烦恼！

Must Be Diligent In Learning And Practice Hard To Abandon Suffering And Achieve Happiness

If we want to understand what is meant by abandoning suffering and achieving happiness, we must be diligent in learning and practicing hard — diligent in learning the teachings, followed by the thorough wiped out of our ignorance during those moments when we encounter difficult situations.

不要停止对真理的追寻

不要停止广学多闻，不要停止闻思修空性，不要停止对内心中苦受错误的根源再再地寻觅、再再地探察，一定要找出到底是什么原因使自己这么痛苦，然后去息减它

Do Not Stop the Pursuit of the Truth

Do not stop the extensive learning and the numerous times listening to the teaching. Do not stop listening, contemplating and meditating on emptiness. Do not stop the repeated seeking and repeated probing in our mind pertaining to the wrong perception on the root cause of the sufferings we experienced. We must find out what is the actual reason that caused us to suffer in pain so badly and then eradicate it.

佛法的了悟在心

佛法的「懂」和一般的「懂」完全是两回事，那么它的区分到底在什么地方？ 看内心有无转变。

Understanding of Buddha's Teaching Is In The Heart

The "understanding" of Buddha's teaching and the general “understanding” are completely different things, so what exactly is the distinction? See if there is any change in your heart.

苦不会因怕就不见

我们的生命能不能真正离苦得乐？ 百分之百可以！ 因为造什么业就感什么果。 如果遇到事情就只想到困难或抱怨，就会陷入负面情绪的泥沼中，完全不能动弹，也会越来越没有胆量，越来越萎缩。 可是苦不会因为我们怕就不见了，必须提起所有心力超越它去造作善业！

Fear Will Not Cause Suffering To Disappear

Can we really abandon suffering and achieve happiness in our lives? 100% possible! Because we reap what we sow. If we only think of difficulties or complains when we face a situation, then we will slip into a mire filled with negative emotions immobilising our entire body. Then we will start losing our courage gradually and begin shrinking progressively. However, suffering will not disappear from our fear. We must lift up all our mental strength to overcome and exceed the fear in order to perform virtuous acts!

生死事大，修行最急

死盯着眼前的小事反覆串习的话，就会变得好像很大。 就像眼皮上沾了东西，看出去就会觉得很庞大，但把它拿下来看，可能还没有芝麻大。 实际上到底什么事最大？ 生死事大！ 什么东西最急？ 修行最急！

Life And Death Are Big Matters While Meditation Practice Is Most Urgent

If we are fixated on a small matter in front of us and repeatedly practice it, it will become like a significantly big matter. It's as though our eyes are stained with something which appears to be very gigantic while we are looking out. However, when we take it out, it might not be bigger than a sesame seed. In reality what is the most important thing? Life and death are most important! What is most urgent? Meditation practice is most urgent!

修行人的习惯

正知正念是用来护戒的，以正知力常常去观察，看自己的正念在不在。 修行人的习惯就是这样的，它是一种不断调伏自心的过程。

A Practitioner's Habit

Vigilance and mindfulness are used to safeguard ethical discipline, often observe with vigilance whether our mindfulness exists. A practitioner's habit is like this, it is a continuous process in disciplining one's mind.

苦乐由心安立

快乐和痛苦都是我们的心制造出来的。 当别人骂我们，不承认我们，或者歪曲事实，把话都颠倒着说，就用它来制造快乐，造作善行吧！ 因为一切境界都是没有自性的，苦乐取决于我们内心对境的安立。

Suffering And Happiness Are Defined By The Mind

Happiness and suffering are both produced by our minds. When others rebuke us, do not acknowledge us, or distort the facts and speak inversely (of the truth), then use these to produce happiness and perform virtuous deeds! Because of the selflessness nature in all situations, suffering and happiness are determined by how our mind defines the situation.

把压力转为动力

学会把压力变成动力，把弱点变成优点，如果在内心上训练这种能力的话，再多流言蜚语来的时候，我们可能会越来越感觉到平静，乃至极其深度的平静。

Transform Stress Into Power

Learn to transform our stress into power and transform our shortcomings into strengths. If we train our mind with such capabilities, we will feel greater sense of calmness progressively when rumours and gossips arise, or even the deepest tranquillity.

最强大的军队

有时候我们正念的军队，还是打不过烦恼的强敌，所以需要对佛法大量地串习，思惟。 在这种状态下，精进如法地听闻，就是在培训我们摧伏烦恼最强大的军队。

The Strongest Army

Sometimes our army of mindfulness is still unable to defeat the powerful enemy of afflictions, hence we need to study and reflect on Buddha's teaching extensively. Under such circumstance, joyously persevere to listen in accordance to the teachings is precisely training our strongest army to destroy afflictions.

洞察秋毫抉择身心

听法的时候，必须抖擞精神、全力以赴，要非常注意自己三业的造作。应该让我们的慧眼不染尘埃，洞察秋毫，对三业的观察要像粉末一样细致，不可以像大石块的砂石一样非常粗糙，自己在做什么都不知道。这就是用所闻的法，数数抉择自己的身心。

Clearly Understand Fine Details to Decide Mind and Body Performance

When we are listening to the teachings, we must rouse our spirit and put in our best efforts, and we must pay extreme attention on the doings of our three paths of action. We should not let our insight be tainted with dust and we must clearly understand the fine details. Our observation on our three paths of action must be as delicate as powder, it cannot be very coarse like a big sandstone rock which means we do not know know what we are doing. This is applying the teaching we have listened, and repeatedly making decisions on the performance of our mind and body.

超越生死的正见

佛说的正见有两种：一种是世间的正见一业果见，它可以让我们好好持戒，不堕落三恶趣，得到人，天的果报;另一种是出世间的正见 一空正见，可以让我们无视于死主的挑战，超越生死轮回，得大自在。

Right Views That Surpassed Life And Death

There are two types of right views said by Buddha: one type is the mundane right view – Cause and Effect, which can help us to uphold our ethical discipline well, not degenerating into the three miserable realms and be reborn in the human and heavenly realms; another is the supra-mundane right view – Knowledge of Emptiness, which allows us to disregard the challenge from Lord of Death, surpassed cyclic existence, attained great freedom and be at ease.

微笑的力量

实际上一个微笑的力量，在内心中存留的感觉是很久的，而且是正向的，所以请多布施你那灿烂的微笑。

The Power Of Smiles

Actually the power of a smile, it’s feeling that remains in our hearts, stays for a long time. In addition, it is a positive feeling, hence kindly give your splendid smiles to others more frequently.

忍耐宽容并非怯懦

其实忍耐和宽容不是一种怯懦，反而正是一个人大度和勇悍的表示。 就如静静的大海，沉静恢宏，温柔而雄浑，像微笑着的勇士。

Patience And Tolerance Are Not Cowardice

In fact, patience and tolerance are not a form of cowardice, but rather an expression of a person’s generosity and bravery. Just like the quiet ocean, calm and magnificent, gentle and vigorous, like a smiling warrior.

不必忧愁的理由

「若事尚可为，云何不欢喜？若已不济事，忧恼有何益？」如果把这两句话实践在生活中，这样的人生简直太壮观了！ 因为再也没有什么事可以吓倒我们了。 可以改变的痛苦我不愁，不可以改变的痛苦我也不愁，那请问还有什么愁事吗？

Reasons Not To Worry

“If something can still be done, why be displeased? If nothing can be done, what is the use of worrying?” If these two statements are put into practice in life, such a life is simply spectacular! Because nothing can scare us anymore. I am not worried about the suffering that can be changed, and I am also not worried about the suffering that cannot be changed. Is there anything to worry about then?

苦难赐予的礼物

尽管生命中有很多痛苦，如果能以苦为道，就能在每一个痛苦中发现苦难的价值，让自己成长；在自己成长了之后，发现又有陷在苦难里的人，还可以去救他。所以，苦难给我们的礼物不仅是提升自己，还能帮助他人。

Gift of Suffering

Even though there is much suffering in our lives, however if we treat this suffering as the path to practice, we will be able to discover the value of each suffering and grow from it. Once we grew out of it, we could identify people who are suffering from similar miseries and hence had the ability to help them. That's why suffering is a gift to improve ourselves and to help others.

从反省中超越自我

每一次发生争端时，如果能反省到：我是在无明生死中，会颠倒苦乐的真相，实际上这就是一个凡夫的基本行相。 那么每一次的争端，都让我立志要超越凡夫，成为圣者，要看清一切事情的根源，把苦的根本全部拔掉。

Surpass Oneself Through Introspection

If you can reflect each time there is a dispute that: I am ignorant and in cyclic existence, and will invert the truth of suffering and happiness, which is the basic behaviour of an ordinary person in reality. Then, every dispute allows me to aspire to surpass an ordinary person, to become a saint, to see the root cause of all matters clearly and completely pull out all the roots of suffering.

顽石可雕心定能转

认真学，认真去体会，照着佛菩萨讲的那样认真地去改变自己，一定会被改变的！ 心又不是石头，为什么不能改？ 就算是石头都可以雕出传世精品来，为什么我的心不能转变？

If Stubborn Stone Can Be Carved, The Heart Can Be Changed

If we earnestly learn the teachings, and conscientiously experience the change based on the instructions from Buddha and bodhisattvas, we will definitely transform ourselves. Our hearts are not made of stones. Why can't we change? Even a stone can be carved into a fine piece of art and exist through generations, why can't our hearts be changed?

选择当个勇士

挫败感其实只是一种心情，不停地战胜它，就是勇士的风采，否则就永远陷溺在困境里裹足不前。 选择权是在自己手里，看你要怎么做。

Choose To Be A Warrior

The feeling of being defeated is actually just a type of emotion and to overcome it repeatedly is a warrior's demeanour. Otherwise, we will be trapped and drown in the predicament forever and unable to move ahead further. The choice is in our own hands, it depends on how you approach it.

更扎实的努力

嫉妒心，就是总觉得自己拥有的比别人少，但这样并不能得到想拥有的束西。如果缺福报就赶快培福，缺智慧就赶快去闻思，这样努力更脚踏实地。

More Sturdy on Diligence

Jealousy is when we always feel that we own less than others. However we cannot own what we want by feeling this way. If we are lacking in merits then we must quickly accumulate merits, and if we are lacking in wisdom then we must quickly listen and contemplate on the teaching. Such diligence is more down-to-earth.

欢喜心何处寻

觉得自己什么也做不对，什么也不会，生不出欢喜心的时候，听听佛菩萨的故事，或思惟暇满人身以及善知识的功德，想这些就会生欢喜心 。 所以当你的生命周围好像找不到值得欢喜的事时，要记得去找佛菩萨。

Where To Seek Joyfulness

When we feel that we are unable to do anything correctly, not knowing anything at all, and cannot produce any sense of joyfulness, we should listen to the stories of Buddha and bodhisattvas, or contemplate on the life of leisure and opportunity, as well as the merits and virtues of virtuous teachers. Thinking of these will produce joyfulness. Hence when you cannot seem to find any joyful things revolving around your life, remember to look for Buddha and the bodhisattvas.

以慧力削弱烦恼

痛苦来临的时候，会发现痛苦好像粘在身心上、捆绑着我们，甚至是死缠烂打，一直逼迫着我们，怎么甩也甩不掉。一定要想办法用慧力対治它，用智慧善巧地削弱烦恼这种紧密粘着的力道。

Cripple Affliction with Wisdom

When pain and suffering strike, they seem to be stuck on our body and mind, binding us together, to the extent of pestering and harassing us, continuously coercing us and cannot be abandoned at all. We must find a way to leverage on the strength of wisdom to rectify it, and use wisdom skilfully to cripple the tight binding force of affliction.

注视生命的大苦

一旦注视到生死大苦的时候，眼前的这些小事情根本不会放在心上，因为再痛也比不了生死的痛，堕落恶趣的痛。

Focus Your Attention On Life's Great Sufferings

Once you focus your attention on the great sufferings of life and death, these trifle matters at present do not bother you at all. Because no matter how much the pain is, it is not comparable to the pain of life and death, and the pain when fallen into the miserable realms.

绝不向恶念屈服

绝对不要向心中的恶念屈服！ 不要在乎它有多恶，也不要在乎它有多可怕，我们要做的就是跟它们，把它歼灭！

Never Surrender To Evil Thoughts

Never surrender to the evil thoughts within our mind! Do not be bothered about how evil it is, and do not be bothered about how frightening it is. What we need to do is to follow them, and destroy them!

空性的利斧

空性慧就是一把利斧，可以把轮回的根刹那砍掉，从此永脱生死，不再轮回。

The Sharp Axe Of Emptiness

The wisdom that knows emptiness is a sharp axe that can instantly chop off the roots of cyclic existence and free us from life and death with no more reincarnation.

离苦先助人

在自己痛苦的时候，能选择先去帮忙别人，这样的人一定会幸福的！

Help Others First To Be Liberated From Suffering

When you are suffering, you can choose to help others first, such a person will definitely be blissful!

秋日的感恩

秋日的田野，五色斑斓，一片丰收的喜悦，善知识啊！我望着善行的心田，感恩您慈悲的恩赐啊！

Gratitude on Autumn Days

The fields on autumn days, are multicoloured and gorgeous. There is an atmosphere of harvesting joy, my virtuous Teacher! I'm so grateful for your kind and compassionate gifts as I gazed at my virtuous heart!

发现宽恕

当我们反省自心的时候，就会发现宽恕。

Discover Forgiveness

When we reflect on our own mind, we will then discover forgiveness.

莲花出自淤泥

勇士是从什么地方出生的？胆小怯弱，自私自利，嫉妒比较，心里跌宕起伏，名闻利养一大堆，就是从这些烂泥滩里生出了勇士的莲花。不要小看自心中的佛性，一旦它得到善知识的启发而萌芽，就会在这些烦恼的粪土中，开出最美的莲花，亭亭出尘，卓尔不群。

Lotus is Born From Mud

Where is the warrior born? Timid and weak, selfish and self-centred, jealous and comparative, the mind is moving up and down, and being famous and profit oriented, they are in abundance and the lotus warrior is born from these mud shores. Do not look down on the buddha nature within us. Once it is inspired by the virtuous teacher and begins sprouting, it will grow on these filthy grounds of afflictions into the most beautiful lotus, upright and out of this world, standing above the common crowd.

要怎么收获先那么栽

幸福是索求来的，还是因为付出而收获的？ 要想得到别人尊重，先尊重别人；要想得到别人的感恩，先去感恩别人；要想得到别人的恭敬，先去礼敬别人，常常礼敬佛菩萨，礼敬众生，自然会得到他人的敬重。

How To Harvest, Plant In This Way First

Does happiness come by asking, or is it gained by giving? If you want to gain the respect of others, respect others first; if you want to obtain the gratitude of others, be grateful to others first; if you want to receive the deference from others, first pay homage to others, often pay homage to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and homage to all living beings, and you will naturally be revered by others.

从心深处拔除苦因

佛陀说，所有痛苦的因都在我们心中。 所以必须把内心深处的问题解决之后，痛苦才不会再发生。

Eradicate Cause Of Suffering From The Depth Of The Heart

The Buddha said that all the causes of suffering are in our hearts. Hence, we must resolve the the problems deep in our hearts, thereafter the suffering will not happen again.

正遍知之义

佛陀又叫「正遍知」，就是对所有事情都有正确，不颠倒的了解。 他也是透过长久的修行，不断增长内心的悲智而达到的。

Meaning Of Omniscient

Buddha is also known as the ‘Omniscient', which means having the correct and no misconstrued understanding of all phenomena. He has also attained this through long periods of cultivation and practice, and continuously increasing the compassion and wisdom within him.

战争由嗔起

在任何地方我们都应该息灭争端，达成人与人，人与自然之间的和平，希望全世界的人都能和平相处，息灭心灵的战争。 所有的唇枪舌战，乃至流血的杀戮等等，这一切战争都是从内心的嗔恨，对立开始的。

War Stems From Anger

We should cease all disputes wherever we are to achieve peace amongst mankind and peace with the nature, and hope everyone in this world can get along peacefully and end all wars within our minds and spirits. All kind of wars such as harsh verbal conflicts, bloodsheds and slaughtering, etc., stem from opposing others with the anger and hatred in our hearts.

转动命运的巨轮

行持不只是身口的行为，实际上行持是从内心开始的，要从内心的意乐改起，思惟正理即可转动命运的巨轮。

Turning The Great Wheel Of Destiny

Our conduct does not merely derive from the behaviour of our body and speech. As a matter of fact, our conduct begins with our mind. In order to turn the great wheel of our destiny, we must start from correcting the attitude in our mind and contemplate on the right principles.

胸怀天下苍生

慢慢地扩大自己的心量，以后就可以胸怀天下苍生，不依靠他人，自愿承担所有众生离苦得乐的责任，这就是增上意乐。

Keeping All Living Beings In The World In Your Heart

Slowly expand your heart capacity and in the future, you will be able to keep all living beings in the world in your heart, without relying on others, and willingly undertake the responsibility to liberate all sentient beings from suffering and to achieve happiness. This is the wholehearted resolve.

大乘道的扼要

佛陀的教诲就像一盏明灯，告诉我们对境的时候，应该舍什么，应该取什么。 在整个大乘道中，最重要的扼要就是菩提心，如果没有菩提心，就无法成佛;不能成佛的话，就达不到生命最美妙，无悔的境界;不要说利他，自利也是不圆满的。

Essence Of Mahayana Path

The teaching of Buddha is like a bright lamp that guides us what to discard and what to adopt when we face a situation. On the entire Mahayana Path, the most essential point is the spirit of enlightenment. If there is no spirit of enlightenment, then we will not be able to attain Buddhahood. If we cannot become a buddha, we will be unable to attain the most wonderful state with no regrets. Not to mention about benefiting others, we won't even be able to perfect the act of benefitting ourselves.

实现美好的愿望

一定要相信善有善报，恶有恶报，把心底里的恶彻底清除掉，生命才能如自己所想要的那样。 想要亲近善知识，常随佛学，快点证得空性，或者生起刹那也不忘失菩提心，这些美好的愿望，都会因为努力断恶修善而实现。

Realising Wonderful Aspirations

You must believe that being virtuous has its own rewards, being non-virtuous has its retributions, and by eradicating all the faults at the depths of your heart, life can then become like how you have wanted it to be. If you want to rely on the Excellent Teachers, following the teachings at all times, quickly attain the nature of emptiness, or generate the spirit of enlightenment that is not forgotten even for an instant, these wonderful aspirations will all be realised because of the great efforts placed to eliminate faults and cultivate virtues.

充满内心的幸福

如果能够把握值遇到善知识的因缘，好好地跟他学习，善知识的恩泽就足以充满我们的心。 当我们的内心充满之后，我们就可以献出更多的关爱给他人，让幸福充满世界。

Full of Inner Blissfulness

If we can seize the dependent arising of encountering the Excellent Teacher, learn from him well, the grace of the Excellent Teacher will be enough to fill our hearts. When our hearts are filled, we can devote more care and love to others, and fill the world with blissfulness.

修行乐无忧

经典里的每一条理路，都是针对我们内心的烦恼，如果能好好依教奉行，一一调伏，心里真的就会快乐无忧。

Happy And Worry-free Practice

Every line of reasoning in the scriptural collections is always directed at the afflictions within our minds. If we can practice well according to the teachings to subdue the afflictions one by one, our minds will truly feel happy and worry-free.

走向生命的大自由

每个人都想得到自由，其实能不被烦恼束缚，才是生命的最大自由！ 让内心彻底从无明中醒觉，就像从恶梦中醒来，得到一种完全清晰无谬的认知。 切断烦恼的根本及其习气，心灵才得以摆脱重担，行到彼岸，自由飞翔。

Head Towards Great Freedom In Life

Everyone hopes to achieve freedom. In fact, the greatest freedom is not to be bound by afflictions! Awaken our mind thoroughly from ignorance, just like waking up from a bad dream and obtain a perfectly clear and inerrant cognition. By severing the roots of affliction and its bad habits, then our spirit can get rid of the heavy burden, to arrive at the other shore and be free to soar.

彻底拔除苦根

为什么要去除无明的根本？ 因为所有的衰损，痛苦，包括所有的心情不好，人际关系不好，沮丧等等这些麻烦，都是源自无明。 如果我们不把这些痛苦的根源彻底地去除，总是在一些枝末上挣扎，想要解决生命的问题，实际上还是从一个深坑掉到另一个深坑，继续承受不一样的苦罢了。

Thoroughly Pull Out The Roots Of Suffering

Why do we want to remove the roots of ignorance? Because all waning, pain and suffering, including all the times we were emotionally down, had poor relationship with others, felt dejected etc., all these troubles originated from ignorance. If we do not eradicate these roots or sources of pain and suffering, and always struggling at some branch tips when we want to solve lives’ problems, actually we are still falling from one deep pit into another deep pit, and merely continuing to endure different sufferings.

遇困难时自我提问

在遇到困难时去琢磨：我遇到了什么事？遇到了这件事，我的反应是什么？而这个反应的结果又是什么？反之，这件事的正确反应应该是什么？它的结果又是什么？两者对比一下，何者能真正的离苦得乐，我们就应该选择那一个。

Probe Ourselves When Faced with a Difficult Situation

Ponder on them when faced with a difficult situation – “What situation am I in? What is my reaction when faced with this situation? Moreover what is actually the result of this reaction? Otherwise, what should be the correct reaction in such a situation? And what is then it’s result?” Compare the two of them. Whichever that could truly abandon suffering and obtain happiness, we should choose it then.

困境不过是念头

所谓的困境，所谓的低沉和绝望，也就是几个念头来回转的问题。 你用对了方法就会发现：心好像一个风车一样，这边的风一大，哗！ 朝那边，那边的风一大，朝这边。 它是很灵巧的转动。

Predicament Is Just A Thought

The so-called predicament, so-called downcast and hopelessness, are merely the issue of a few thoughts spinning back and forth. Once you used the right method you will realise that: the mind is akin to a windmill, once the wind here is strong, whoosh! It faces there. Once the wind there is strong, it turns to face here. It is very deft turnings.

云后有明月

不要被遇到的困境所困。 困境虽然如黑暗阴沉，厚重，恐怖，但它依然具有暂时性，待我们勇敢地穿越了它，就会看到云层后面的月轮有多么美，多么皎洁！ 我们的心就像那深邃的天空，也是很博大的，当有一天真正认识到它的时候，就会发现最宽广的是心，最美丽的也是心。

A Bright Moon Behind The Cloud

Don’t be trapped by the predicament encountered. Although the predicament is dark and gloomy, thick and heavy, and terrifying, it is still temporary. When we bravely cross it, we will see how beautiful and brilliant the moon disk is behind the clouds! Our heart is like the deep sky, and it is also very vast. When one day we truly realise it, we will find that the broadest is the heart, and the most beautiful is also the heart.

心的力量

我们的内心有极其罕见的力量，一定要善于运用这种力量，把它变成是善的力量，和平的力量，慈悲的力量，让这种力量充满自他的生命。

The Power Of Our Hearts

There is an extremely rare power in our hearts and we must be good at using this power. Turn it into a force of good, a force of peace, a force of compassion, and let our lives as well as others be filled with such powers.

修出欢喜如涌泉

开心是怎么来的？ 修出来的，不是从天上掉下来砸到自己的，是修出来的。 是要天天用功夫，欢喜才会在心里像泉水一样一直涌出来，一直涌出来。

Cultivate Joy Like A Fountain

How does happiness comes about? It’s cultivated, it didn’t drop from the sky to hit upon us. It’s cultivated. We need to practice hard and diligently everyday. Then like spring water, joy will emerge from our hearts continuously too.

佛教确实的利益

佛教之所以千百年来被很多人矢志不移地追求，是因为它确实能带来心灵的和平与清凉，以及人与人之间的相互尊重。 它能化解仇怨，使颓废变精进，甚至给病弱在床，饱受人生重创的人们一股强劲的力量，让他再度奋起。

The Real Benefits of Buddhism

The reason why Buddhism has been pursued by many people for thousands of years is that it can indeed bring peace and coolness to the spirit, as well as mutual respect between people. It can resolve hatred, make a decadent become diligent, and even give people who are bed-ridden and those badly battered in life a strong force to rise again.

光明温暖的大树

我们的信仰可以让我们的心成为这个世界的光明，慈悲心会成为很多很多人一个温暖的依靠。 就像一棵大树，各种小鸟都来了，无论是习惯放声高歌的，或浅唱低吟的；白色的，黑色的，彩色的，身着各色衣衫的小动物；大如雄鹰，小如蚂蚁都来了。 因为有一棵大树，大家都聚集在一起，依靠着大树而居。

Luminous And Warm Tree

Our faith can make our hearts become the luminosity of the world, and compassion will become a warm support for many, many people. Just like a big tree, all kinds of birds are here, whether they are accustomed to singing loudly or crooning softly; white ones, black ones, colourful ones, small animals in various colours; those big as an eagle, small as ants are all here. Because there is a big tree, everyone gathers together and lives with support from the big tree.

勿轻小善

你现在对境每一步的善，每一步的自我超越，也许你自己觉得比芝麻粒还小，但是实际上它所产生的作用，果报，可能连虚空都不能容受！

Don’t Belittle Small Virtuous Act

Every single step of your virtuous act in a situation and every single step of exceeding yourself may feel as though it is smaller than a sesame seed. However the effect and fruition that it has produced is so magnificent that even the virtual space may not be able to contain it.

坚持正确的道路

不要怕，不要犹疑，不要退却，坚持下去一定会成功的。 只要方向百分之百正确，为什么我们不能达到快乐呢？

Don’t be afraid, don’t hesitate, don’t retreat, you definitely will succeed for persisting on. As long as the direction is hundred percent correct, why can’t we attain happiness?

超越痛苦便是喜悦

身心上的痛苦，有的时候透过修行，可以产生忽然超越它的感觉。 那么一个瞬间，你觉得超越了它，就好像痛苦突然消失了，内心充满了感动和喜悦。

Overcoming Suffering Is Precisely Happiness

The sufferings of the body and mind, at times through cultivation and practice, can suddenly develop a feeling that they can be overcome. At that very instant, you feel that you have overcome it, as though the sufferings have suddenly disappeared, filling the heart with emotions of being moved and joy.

法喜从何而来

所谓的法喜是怎么得到的？ 从听闻经典的当下，会诸根愉悦，心欢喜。 再再研究智者的理路，数数思惟，感动如云，欢喜如雨。 进而学会更广泛的，更清晰的抉择角度，来调伏身心相续的问题，所得到的法喜更是喜不自胜啊！

Where Does Dharma Bliss Comes From

How do we receive the so-called, dharma bliss? From the moment of listening to the scriptures, our senses will be delighted, and the mind is joyful. When we study and research on the wise men train of thoughts again and again, and repeatedly contemplating on them, it touches our hearts like clouds and brings showers of joy. And then learn to make decisions from a broader and clearer perspective, to overcome the issues pertaining to our body and mind stream, the resulting dharma bliss received is even harder to contain one’s joy.

困境是自我超越的契机

如果用一种非常积极的心态，去面对所遇到的困境，有可能现在觉得过不去的这个关，正是你展翅高飞的时刻，因为你会完成对自己极限的超越。

Predicament Is The Opportunity For Self-Transcendence

Clearly Seeing the Truth Thoroughly Eliminate All Sufferings

If we follow the correct understanding and right view, and work on them diligently, when we clearly see the truth one day, it is also the moment when all sufferings are eliminated.

真理如何澈见

真理到底如何澈见？ 如何励力心志去探讨真理？ 那令自他都能够得到饶益的正知见是什么？ 要走向从所未经之地，没有一个良好的环境，不跟随真正了解的响导善知识去走，没有几个人能走过去吧！ 懈怠，散乱，我慢，怯懦等诸多的内外障碍，还有身心的种种病苦，这些都足以摧残自己的道心。 所以应矢志不移，紧随师行。

How To Have Lucid View Of The Truth

How do we have a lucid view of the truth? How do we keep our will motivated to explore the truth? What is the right view that can benefit ourselves and others? To advance towards a place that we have never been, if there is no conducive environment, and we do not follow a virtuous Teacher as a guide who has truly comprehended it, not many people are able to cross it! Internal and external obstacles like sluggishness, scattered thoughts, arrogance, timidity, etc. and also the various pains and sufferings on our body and mind, they are all sufficient to destroy our aspirations on the path. Hence, we should be unshaken with our resolve and closely follow the Teacher on the path.

没有学不会的道理

遇到自己不会的，不懂的，要怎样？ 要学！ 学了不懂怎样？ 再学！ 再学还不懂怎样？ 再学！ 那再学还不懂呢？ 继续学！ 直到把它学会，直到把它学懂。 实际上，方法如果对，又有老师教，怎么可能永远都学不会？

There's Nothing That Can't Be Learned

When we come across something that is beyond us, or something we don't understand, what do we do? Learn it! What if we don't understand after learning? Learn again! What if we still don't understand after learning again? Continue learning! We have to keep learning till we understand it one day. In actual fact, if we have the right method, with excellent Teacher to guide us, how can it be possible that we are always unable to master it?

苦乐自心作主

这一生是苦恼还是快乐，谁来作主？ 修行人要自己作主。 要过苦恼，堕落，绝望，乃至悲观的一生，还是欣喜，慈悲，智慧的一生，抉择权完全在自己手里。 就像训练有力的手臂，透过心智的训练，当心越来越有力的时候，不但自己容易化苦恼为清凉，也能有力地支援他人离开痛苦。

Our Mind Is In Charge Of Suffering And Happiness

Who is the one in charge of one's own misery or happiness? Practitioners must be in charge of ourselves. Do you want a life filled with misery, degrading, despair, and pessimism? Or a life with delight, compassion and wisdom? The decision is in our hands. Just like a strong arm which has been well-trained, when our mind has gone through training of wisdom, and it becomes stronger by the day. It will certainly becomes much easier to transform misery and sorrow to a mind stream of purity and calmness in our mind. We will also increase our ability to help others abandon their pain and suffering.

开发内心无限的潜力

如何从自己的眼，耳，鼻，舌，身所认知的狭小范围上，去加深对于这个宇宙或内心世界的探索？ 因此佛菩萨为我们宣说了修心之道，一定要把所有的力量专注于内心。 因为内心的能力被开发后，会远远地超越现在眼见，耳闻的一切，这种探索在时空的跨度上，将会是无限的。

Develop The Unlimited Potential Of Our Minds

From the narrow extent of understanding gained from our eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body, how do we deepen the explorations of this universe or our inward world? Consequently, the buddhas and bodhisattvas have disclosed and explained to us the path to cultivate our minds and we must focus all our energy on our minds. Because after we have developed the abilities of our minds, it will far surpass everything that is presently seen and heard. The span of this type of explorations will be unlimited in space and time.

佛法是省察自心的教育

佛教更像一种教育，就像上大学的感觉，因为佛陀有太多的思路，会跟自己碰撞。 当我们完成一种对自我心灵的省察，提升，乃至净化，就能超越表面这些不停波动的现象，用非常审慎而理性的态度去看待问题。

Buddha's Teaching Is The Education Of Self-examination

Buddhism is more like an education, just like going to university, because the Buddha had too many train of thoughts that would collide with ours. When we have completed a kind of self-examination, elevation, and even purification of our own spirituality, we can transcend these phenomena fluctuating non-stop on the surface, and look at problems with a very cautious and rational attitude.

菩提心的大威神力

了解了菩提心的功德，看到诸佛菩萨的威神之力，就会生起非常羡慕欢喜的心，也想做一个伟大的菩萨。 因为所有的有情都想要最美好的东西，菩提心既然如此美好，如此超胜，如此具有大威神力，为什么我们不要呢？

The Mighty Power Of Spirit Of Enlightenment

Knowing the merits of spirit of enlightenment, seeing the mighty power of buddhas and bodhisattvas, we will produce an extremely envious and joyful mind, and want to be a great bodhisattva. Because all sentient beings want the most beautiful things, since spirit of enlightenment is so beautiful, so superior, and possess such mighty power, why don't we want it?

改变世界的开始

希望我们一起让这个世界变得更美好！哪怕你的努力就发生在一盏灯光下，就只面对一个人，你对他说几句感恩的话，哪怕寒冬腊月，一句良言善语，亦能暖心暖意，实际上世界会因为你的感恩心而改变。让这改变就从感恩我们身边的人开始吧！

Beginning Of Changing The World

Let's hope that together we will make this world an even better place! Even if your hard work takes place under a lamp of light, facing only one person, just tell him a few words of gratitude. No matter if it's cold wintry month end of the year, just a sentence of kind words and virtuous advice can also warm the heart and mind of a person. In actual fact, the world will certainly change because of your gratitude. So let's change the world by beginning to be grateful towards the people around us!

生命的目标

佛法伟大的力量，透过一年一年地听闻，讨论，慢慢浸润我们枯燥的身心。 佛陀的悲智力，透过善知识的教诲，一点一滴滋润我们的生命，让我们从只注视今生的苦乐想到来世，了知生命的目标是要究竟离苦得乐，要成佛，而且要帮忙所有的众生都走上这条路，都成佛。

The Goal Of Life

The great power of Buddha's teaching, slowly infiltrates our dull and dry body and mind, through hearing and discussion year after year. The Buddha's compassion and intelligence, through the teachings of an Excellent Teacher, nourishes our lives bit by bit, allowing us to progress from looking at only the sufferings and joys of this life to think of the next life. Knowing that the goal of life is to thoroughly abandon suffering and achieve happiness, and to become a Buddha. In addition, we must help all living beings to take this path and all to become Buddhas.

累积福报回向菩提

如果我们能依外在的殊胜境，又依内在的殊胜发心，累积到很大的福报，要将这个福报回向正法久住，众生安乐；回向为了芸芸众生的解脱，我早一天生起菩提道的证德，早一天去证得佛果。 尤其大乘道是以菩提心为根本，这个发心非常非常需要广大的资粮。

Accumulate Merits To Dedicate Towards Enlightenment

If we can rely on the external extraordinary circumstances and also our unique aspiration within us to accumulate huge amount of merits, we must dedicate these merits towards the teaching to stay for a long time and towards all sentient beings to be safe and happy. Moreover, for the sake of liberating every sentient being, dedicate that I will produce the associated attainments and virtues earlier on the path towards enlightenment, and attained Buddhahood in advance. In particular, the root of Mahayana path is based on the spirit of enlightenment and this aspiration requires extremely extensive amount of merits.

听法启发抉择慧

法音入耳，抉择取舍的美玉璇琮之声，充遍身心。 耽着感受，昧于取舍的愚痴浓雾，渐散渐去，我们轻轻腾跃，脱离现行烦恼的泥潭，飞翔于清晰喜乐的抉择之天空下，目及辽远，审慎当下。

Listening To The Dharma Inspire Discerning Wisdom

When the voices of the dharma enter our ears, it is like the sound to make a right choice on a beautiful jade vessel and fills our entire heart and body. The ignorance cloud that indulged in our feelings and concealing our ability to make a right choice, progressively disperses itself and slowly disappears. We make a gentle leap to break away our behaviours from the mire of afflictions, flying beneath the sky under our clear and joyful choice, with a vision that is far and remote, and being prudent of the current moment.

教小孩教到心情烦躁时，可否找到一棵菩提心树，轻轻坐下，闭目纳凉？ 体会阵阵利他清风拂面，待心头热恼渐渐清凉，你便更有心力，去面对第一千次的挑战，陪伴一颗年幼的心渐渐长大。

Enjoying The Cool Under A Bodhi Tree

Persevere In The Most Wonderful Hope

We have to persevere diligently on this path, guard and protect our hope. What is this hope?

This is the truth that Buddha has seen lucidly with his purest eyes of wisdom.

二种心情

助人得以离自苦

有没有这样的经验？你心中有一件很烦恼的事情，结果出去之后发现一个很苦恼的人，你就特别想要帮助他。在帮助他的过程中也遇到一些困难，但是你一直想帮他，结果这件事结束了之后，你突然发现自己那个很可怕的情绪，或者很可怕的低落的阶段就过去了。

Help people to be free from suffering

Any such experience? There is a very troublesome thing in your heart, and when you go out and find a very distressed person, you especially want to help him.

All Beauty And Virtues Arise From Dharma

Dharma is beautiful! Prajna wisdom is beautiful! How are they beautiful? It is whoever meets them will receive benefits.

It will give rise to all things that are virtuous, joyful and beautiful good stuff, hence it's called a gem!

真实之法最有魅力

人啊，你要是找到一个他最喜欢的事情，他是可以一直做下去的。 那你说学佛法可以像网路游戏那么迷人吗？ 为什么不可能呢？ 虚假的东西都可以那么有力，真实的东西难道不是更有魅力吗？

Real Phenomenon Most Intriguing

Human beings are such, if they have found something they liked to do most, they would continue doing it. Can learning Buddha's teaching be as bewitching as online gaming then? Why is it not possible? Since virtual stuff could be so enticing, shouldn't the real stuff be even more enchanting?

Joy Of Benefiting Others

Though our hearts will feel joy when we have some realisations on the path, however the joy that is derived from seeing the change in the mind stream of sentient beings from our hard work of sowing virtuous seeds in them, watching the sprout that turn into green leaves swaying in the wind under the sun. This kind of joy is far greater than the former; it soars high in the sky, roars through the waves at sea and feels beyond a boundless vista.

欢喜的修行法

喜悦，只能从感受上获得吗？超越了感受，让思惟进入到正向光明的作意时，是否那严谨的思路，也会出生喜悦呢？在每件事发生的时候，要清净发心，正行时，将护三业。做对的部分，随喜自己；做不对的部分，向内调服、忏悔；再将自己已做的善，悉数回向无上菩提。那么，总结起来，可清晰明见的是自己在断恶修善的征途上，勇悍前行。至此，可欢喜吗

Method to Practice Delight

Can we receive happiness only through our feelings? When we transcended our feelings and allowed our thoughts to embrace a positive state of mind and radiance, would this rigorous thought process be able to produce happiness too? In practice we should protect our three paths of action. Rejoice ourselves when we performed actions correctly and for actions not correctly performed, we should moderate inwards to subdue and repent on our incorrect actions. Subsequently we shall dedicate all our virtuous acts towards unsurpassed enlightenment. To sum up, in this way what we could clearly see are ourselves striding courageously on this expedition to abstain from wrong doings and cultivate virtuous acts. Till here, are you delightful?

如覆大地的防护力

《入行论》说：「片革垫靴底，即同覆大地。」对境如何防护自心？ 就像你的脚穿了鞋，等于覆​​盖了整个大地，没有东西可以刺到你的脚，那就是正念正知的力量。

Power of Protection And Prevention Equivalent to Covering The Whole Earth

Engaging in the Bodhisattva Deeds says: Simply wrap some leather round your feet and it's as if the whole earth has been covered! How do we protect and prevent our heart when we face a situation? Just like wearing the shoes on our feet, it's equivalent to covering the whole earth. Nothing will prick our feet. Such is the power of right mindfulness and right view.

让世界更美好

如果我们能踏实地从此弃恶从善，都变成一个非常良善的人，这个世界会因为我们改变自己变得更加美好。

Let The World Be A Better Place

If we can steadily turn away from non-virtuous activities and engage in virtuous acts from now onward, we can all become very good and kind persons, and this world will become a better place because we have changed ourselves.

虚妄与真实

世上很多事情看起来很有诱惑力，很有魅力，但是你真正走进它的时候，实际上是很空虚的，这就是五欲八风的滋味。 但是如果闻思正法，你越靠近它，用心去琢磨它，慢慢地学会结合内心的话，会对自他的生命产生真实的饶益，会得到真实的法喜。

Delusion and Truth

Many things in the world are very alluring and captivating, but when you truly enter it, (you will realise) it is hollow in reality, this is the experience of the five desires and eight worldly dharmas. However, if you listen and contemplate about dharma, the closer you move towards it, the more you ponder about it earnestly, and slowly learn to integrate it in your mind-stream, there will be true benefits generated for your life and others', and you will gain the true joy of dharma.

和合能生究竟乐

为什么我们要朝着与他人和合的方向串习，不朝着发展自我而不管别人的方向串习呢？ 因为你看佛陀慈爱众生，就知道快乐是怎么出生的；你看众生都只爱自己，就应该知道痛苦是怎么出生的。

Harmony Can Produce Ultimate Happiness

Why should we practice in the direction of having harmony with others, and not in the direction of developing ourselves while disregarding others? Because when you see that the Buddha loves all living beings, you know how happiness is born; When you see that all living beings only love themselves, you should know how pain is born.

善业丰收念师恩

当你看到满眼善业丰收的美丽风光时，一定会想到：是谁使这一切变得这么美？ 那个时候对师长恩德的怀念就不只是文字，在自己的身心上可以找到落脚点，是很真实的——我靠近他，听闻他说法，得到了这些！

Recall Teacher's Kindness On Good Harvest Of Virtuous Karma

When you see the beautiful scenery with an eyeful of virtuous karma during a good harvest, you will surely think: Who made all these become so beautiful? At that time, cherishing the memory of the teacher's kindness will not be merely words, it can find a foothold in my body and mind, and it is very real – I approached him, listened to his discourse, and received all these!

学习的心

一旦我们的内心调到一个学习的角度，无论面对任何境界，我们只会计算学到了什么——升华内心，服务他人。 我们最在意的是内心的收获，所谓欲平天下者，先平自心。

The Heart Of Learning

Once our hearts are adjusted to a learning's perspective, no matter what kind of situation we are faced with, we will only reckon with what we have learnt – to sublime our mind, and to serve others. What we care the most for is what our minds will reap, which is what they call “The person who wishes to pacify the world, first pacifies his own mind”.

如何让正法久住

对难可值遇的佛法，一定要生起珍惜、祈愿它久住的心。怎样令正法久住？听法的如法地听，讲法的如法地讲，佛法就会久住。

How to Let the Sublime Teaching Remains for a Long Time

Towards the buddha's teaching that is so difficult to encounter, we must produce a spirit to treasure it and supplicate that it will remain for a long time. How do we cause the sublime teaching to remain for a long time? When the audience listens properly and when the speaker gives the teaching properly, then the buddha's teaching will remain for a long time.

增长慈悲就减少伤害

佛法告诉我们，要让心从一种不原谅，嗔恨，或者受伤的状态，调整到理解，感恩，增长智慧和慈悲的方向。 一旦调整到这样的方向，我们慢慢会感觉到自心的力量，就不会那么害怕别人的伤害。

Increase In Compassion Will Reduce Harm

Buddha's teachings tell us to adjust our hearts from an unforgiving, hateful and state of being hurt to another direction which is understanding, grateful, increasing in wisdom and compassion. Once we manage to adjust in the direction of such, we will gradually feel the inner strength within ourselves and we won't be so afraid of the harm brought upon by others.

发心刹那即成菩萨

当生起菩提心那一刹那间，纵然是个还没有证得空性的凡夫，你已经是菩萨了。 微风吹过你的衣服，吹过你的头发，再吹到另一个众生身上，他就得到益处了。 有了菩提心，你就是大宝藏，人天的应供处。

Becoming A Bodhisattva Instantly When Spirit Of Enlightenment Arises

The instant your spirit of enlightenment arises, even if you are layman who has not attained the nature of emptiness, you are already bodhisattva. When the breeze blows pass your clothes, through your hair, then onto another sentient being, he will have been benefited. With the spirit of enlightenment, you are a great treasure, the one worthy of offerings from humans and heavenly beings.

速成菩提慰苍生

让我们早一点发起真实的菩提心，证悟甚深的空性，乃至用最速疾的修法去成就无上菩提，以慰天下苍生！

Attain Enlightenment Speedily To Comfort All Sentient Beings

Let's make real aspirations to develop spirit of enlightenment as soon as possible, realise the profound nature of emptiness, and even the speediest method to practice and attain unsurpassable enlightenment, so we can comfort all the sentient beings.

礼敬大雄世尊

佛陀是最强大，最勇悍的，没有什么可以难倒他，礼敬那不再被业惑之绳捆绑的大自在！ 他在轮回中无数次将陷溺在恶业里的我们拯救出来，过程虽然壮烈，但胜利实在辉煌！ 从发心起，直至成佛，所有努力皆为利益有情，礼敬那白莲花般圣洁的志向！ 礼敬大雄世尊！

Homage To Buddha The Exalted Hero

The Buddha is the most powerful and brave, nothing can stump him, homage to the great freedom that is no longer tied by the rope of karma and afflictions! He had rescued us who were trapped and drown by evil karma countless times in the cycle of reincarnation. Although the process was heroic, the victory was truly glorious! From the arising of his aspiration, till becoming a Buddha, all his efforts were for the welfare of sentient beings, homage to his holy and pure ambition that was like the white lotus! Homage to Buddha the exalted hero!

终极幸福绝对可能

所有的生命有没有终极幸福的可能性呢？ 佛陀给出了令我们心悦诚服的答案：是绝对可能的！ 为什么呢？ 因为所有的生命都有离苦得乐的趋向性。 就是这样的能力，会促使大家去寻觅，如何达到那没有一丝丝痛苦，永恒快乐的生命境界？ 有无数的佛陀都已圆满实现了那个梦！

Ultimate Happiness Is Absolutely Possible

Is it possible for all living beings to achieve ultimate happiness? Buddha has given us a satisfying and convincing answer: “It is absolutely possible! Why is that so? Because all livings beings have an inclination to be liberated from suffering and achieve happiness. It is such kind of ability that will propel everyone to seek out, how do I reach a state in which there is not a single bit of misery, and has eternal happiness in life? There are countless Buddhas that have already fully realised that dream!

修行人的快乐

物质的依赖已退居到最小的角落，盛满心灵宴响的法餐，丰盛而极度奢华。 华衣美食的喧扰，已化成月下禅思的宁静。 一朵出尘之花，在人生的各种境遇中傲然地绽放，清香远逸。

Happiness Of A Practitioner

The reliance on materialism has been reduced to the smallest corner. A dharma feast that filled our hearts with spirituality is sumptuous and extremely lavish. The disturbance by gorgeous clothes and delicious food has already been substituted by the tranquility obtained from the meditative contemplation under the moon. A flower which is out of the world, remains to be blossoming proudly upon encountering all sorts of circumstances in life, scattering its fragrance in the distance easily.

步步减过分分生德

痛苦的脚下如何出生快乐的莲花？解脱的轻风怎样拂去烦恼的尘埃？功德无不圆、过失无不离的美月，何时胸中朗耀？步步减过，分分生德，渐行渐趋，直至菩提。

Step-by-Step Diminishing Faults and Minute-by-Minute Producing Merits

How do we grow happy lotus with pain and suffering under our feet? How does the breeze of liberation brush away the dust of afflictions? Merits are never incomplete, faults are never not distant from the beautiful moon, and when will our heart be bright and radiant? Step-by-step diminishing our faults, minute-by-minute producing our merits, gradually moving ourselves and hastening progressively, directly until enlightenment.

衣带渐宽终不悔

修行一定要有「衣带渐宽终不悔」的决心。 历经风雨的艰辛后，总有一天，打开那窗子：哇！ 千树万树梨花开！ 走进我期待的那座离尘的花园，美妙的觉受竞相盛开，我的心就成为功德花海。

The Belt Is Gradually Becoming Loose And I Won't Regret It

Our practice must have the determination of “The belt is gradually becoming loose and I won't regret it”. After going through thick and thin hardships, one eventual day, open that window: Wow! Many thousands of pear trees bloomed! Walking into the garden which is away from the mundane world that I am looking forward to, the wonderful feelings are jostling in full bloom, and my heart then became a sea of merit flowers.

最终极的孝道

佛法是最终极的孝道，因为他把每一生的父母都放在心上，想要给予父母最究竟的快乐，从衣食奉养，承欢膝下，升华到拔除父母所有痛苦最究竟的苦根！ 这是作为学佛的弟子，报答这一世乃至无量劫来的父母亲，所要尽的一个大孝。

The Ultimate Filial Piety

Buddhism is the ultimate filial piety, because he (who practices it) places his parents of every single lifetime in his heart and wants to give them the most complete happiness. From the offering of material items such as clothing and food, to being joyfully at their service, and subliming to eradicate all their roots of pains and suffering completely! As disciples who are learning from the Buddha, we must fulfil our upmost filial piety, which is to repay our parents of this lifetime and even our parents from countless eons to date.

生命真正的归宿

能发心趣向大乘的人，会令佛菩萨的心无限地喜悦，因为这是所有生命真正的归宿。 必须舍己为人，为很多人效命，自己的生命才能够得到真正的升华，才能够摆脱痛苦的困境，也同时撑持了天上人间最美的教法。

The True Final Destination For Living Beings

People who are able to make their aspirations to progress on the Mahayana path will fill the buddhas' and bodhisattvas' hearts with boundless joy, because this is the true final destination for all living beings. Sacrificing oneself for others is a must and we need to go all out to serve many people. Then our lives can be truly sublimated to a higher state, in order to escape from the painful predicaments, and concurrently sustain the most beautiful teachings on both heaven and earth.

离苦得乐的舟

教典是离苦得乐的舟航，每一条理路，都会消灭我们内心中的非量，建立合量的理路。 所谓的合量，就是什么是快乐，什么是痛苦；什么是快乐的因，快乐的果，什么是苦因和苦果，教典中广泛无谬地宣说这些真理。

The Boat that Liberates Suffering and Achieve Happiness

Dharma texts is the boat that navigates and liberates us from sufferings and achieve happiness. Every line of logic will eliminate the falsehoods within our mind and establish the correct theorem. What “theorem” here refers to, is the knowledge of what happiness is, what suffering is, what the causes and fruition of happiness are, and what the causes and fruition of suffering are. These truths are extensively and infallibly explained in the dharma texts.

困境中的收获

一切困境终究会过去，乌云不可能永远遮住太阳的光辉，这只是一个短暂的过程。关键是走过的时候，你带了一些什么礼物？穿越这段时光，你带着什么宝贝走到下一段？到底增加了一些什么本事，长养了多少慈悲与智慧？这是我们要计算的。

Reaping from Predicament

All predicament will eventually be over and the radiance of the sun can never be blocked by dark clouds. This is only a short process. When you have been through it, the crux is what gifts have you collected along the way? What treasures have you brought along to the next stage when you crossed this period? What skills have you actually acquired and how much compassion and wisdom have you cultivated? This is what we must compute.

立定信念走大乘

立定一个当菩提薩埵的坚定信念，而且从此做每一件事都立定这个心念，你就开始走向了大乘之路。

Firm Up Your Conviction To Walk The Mahayana Path

Firm up your conviction to be a bodhisattva. From now on – for every task you do, if you never fail to firm up this conviction, then you are beginning to walk towards the Mahayana path.

思惟的力量

将违缘转为顺缘是一个艰辛的历程，但只要矢志不移、方法正确，人类最了不起的是什么力量？就是心力。心力是怎么获得的？由思惟获得的。一旦得到这种力量，你是可以转变命运的。转变命运是什么？就是改变现状和未来。

The Power of Contemplation

To transform unfavourable condition to favourable condition is an arduous process. However, as long as your resolve is unshaken and the method is correct, what is the greatest strength of mankind? It is mind power. How is mind power acquired? It is through contemplation. Once you obtained such power, you are able to transform your destiny. What is meant by transforming our destiny? It is changing our current and future state.

调伏自心之路

修行的第一步，从亲近善知识开始就要调伏自心，到后面的六度，都是要调伏自心，沿着这样的方向，我们才能完成自觉觉他的这条路。

The Path To Subdue Our Own Mind

The first step of cultivation, we need to subdue our own minds beginning from relying on the excellent teachers, till the later part on the six perfections, we all need to subdue our own minds. Going along with such direction, we can then complete this path of enlightening ourselves and enlightening others.

超越轮回的希望

宇宙有两大类现象，一类就是生死，另一类就是涅槃。 生死是痛苦的，涅槃是快乐的。 我从小就想探索有没有超越生死的可能，是不是所有生命在这里边都没有办法？ 后来居然找到了希望 – 佛陀，他就超越了这个苦难的生死轮回！

The Hope To Surpass Cyclic Existence

There are two kinds of phenomena in the universe, one is life and death, the other precisely is nirvana. Life and death are painful, nirvana is happy. I've wanted to explore is there a possibility to surpass life and death since young, whether all sentient beings here do not have the means (to be liberated)? Subsequently, I actually found hope – Buddha, he has surpassed the cyclic existence of suffering, of life and death.

伟大的心灵教育

佛陀的心灵教育，正好可以突破现代教育的瓶颈，如果这个教育能够深入到家庭，深入到各行各业，实际上大家会很和乐的。

Greatness Of Spiritual Education

Buddha's spiritual education can aptly breakthrough the bottleneck of current education (system). If this education can be extended deeply to families, deeply to all trades and professions, everyone will actually be very harmonious and happy.

幸福之路就在脚下

学习佛法，做一个幸福，和平的人，甚至给周围的生命也带来这种希望，其实并不困难，从布施一个微笑，说一句感恩的话开始，路就在脚下！

The Road To Happiness Is Under Your Feet

Learning the Buddha's teaching, be a happy and peaceful person, and even bringing this kind of hope to the lives around you, is actually not difficult. Starting from giving a smile and saying a word of gratitude, the road is under your feet!

佛法真实不虚

佛陀的真理之所以震撼人心，是因为它太真实了！ 面对它的时候，你不能回避，不能躲藏。 它是一种灵魂深处最真挚的相对。

Dharma Is True With No Falsity

The reason that Buddha's truth is thrilling, is because it is so true! When faced with it, you cannot dodge, you cannot hide. It is a kind of most sincere face-to-face encounter with the depth of the soul.

最大的恩人

佛陀是我们最大的大恩人，他从最初发心，中集资粮，最后成就正等正觉，全都是为了拯救你我痛苦的生命。 他经历了难以数计的苦行，生生世世为你我无悔地奉献，这样的恩情，我们何以为报？

The Greatest Benefactor

Buddha is our greatest benefactor. From his initial development of the spirit of enlightenment, to the accumulation of the collections of merit and sublime wisdom in the middle, and the final attainment of the perfect enlightenment, it was entirely for the sake of rescuing you and me from the sufferings of life. He underwent uncountable ascetic practices, and had devoted himself to you and me with no regret lives after lives. How can we repay, such great kindness?

闻法最直接的利益

听闻佛法带给我们最直接的利益，就是真的会变得聪慧，聪慧的人就知道到哪去找幸福。

The Most Direct Benefit Of Listening To The Teaching

The most direct benefit of listening to the Buddha's teaching, is that we will truly become intelligent. Intelligent people will know where to find happiness.

正法久住生命向荣

正法如果能够久住，我们又能够跟法相应，并且引领更多的人跟法相应，即便是在这个苦难的轮回，生命还是欣欣向荣的。

The Sublime Teaching Remains for A Long Time And Lives Will Prosper

If the sublime teaching can remain for a long time and we can be in concordance to the teaching, and also lead more people to be in concordance with it, then our lives are still prosperous even in this cyclic existence of suffering.

成佛的意义

成佛意味着我们的生命没有一点点遗憾，没有一点点不圆满，没有一点点错谬，对一切事物悉知悉见。

The Meaning Of Becoming A Buddha

To become a Buddha means that our lives do not have a single bit of regret, a single bit of incompleteness, a single bit of mistake, and possess clear knowledge of everything.

菩萨的愿行

菩萨，能给绝望的人带来无穷的希望，在没有路的地方走出千万条路，帮助他人从痛苦走向无尽的快乐，这就是菩萨的愿行。

Bodhisattva's Aspiration And Action

Bodhisattva can bring infinite hope to desperate people, walk thousands of paths where there is no road, and help others from suffering to endless happiness. This is the aspiration and action of the Bodhisattva.

自利利他的人生

改变自己的心，给自己带来希望，光明和充实的人生，从而影响他人，利益他人。 佛法就是这样的「自利利他」。

Life Of Benefiting Self And Others

Transform your heart and bring hope, brightness, and a fulfilling life to yourself, thereby influencing others and benefiting others. Buddhism is as such “benefiting self and others.”

为利众生愿成佛

看到一个小生命，即使他不认识我们，也想要让他离开痛苦得到欢乐，把这种心推而广之，愿所有的生命都离开所有的痛苦，愿所有的生命都得到至极的快乐。 那怎样才能有力量荷担所有众生离苦得乐这件事？ 一定要成佛！

Aspire To Achieve Buddhahood To Benefit All Sentient Beings

Having seen a small living being, even if he does not know us, we will also want to help him to be liberated from suffering and achieve happiness. By growing and expanding this aspiration, we hope that all living beings can all be liberated from all sufferings and hope that all living beings can all achieve extreme happiness. How do we then have the strength to shoulder the responsibilities of liberating all sentient beings from suffering and achieve happiness? We must achieve Buddhahood!

正理之路

一切佛语皆可现为当前一念的修行，用以斩断烦恼，趣向智慧，离开非理作意的泥潭，踏上如理作意的宝洲。 因为所有的理路，都可以让我们心灵的脚更健壮，越跑越快，到最后健步如飞，用一个理路就跑到死亡见不到的地方，那这一辈子就彻底赢了！

The Path Of Right Reasonings

All the teachings from Buddha can surface at any moment of our thoughts to practice immediately, to use them to eliminate afflictions, to incline our mind towards wisdom, to get out from the quagmire of wrong thoughts, and set foot on the treasure island of correct thoughts. Because all the right reasonings can strengthen our spiritual legs to run faster and faster, till the end when our running feels as though we are flying, making use of just one reasoning will enable us to reach a place where death cannot be seen. If that’s the case, we would have won an absolute victory in this entire life!

走出一条康庄大道

要好好珍惜过去生辛辛苦苦得来的善果，要让它越变越大，越变越大，创造出自己生生世世都受用不尽的幸福。 这都是由于师长三宝在前面引路，在左右陪伴，我们才能在世间这个充满苦恼的荆棘丛里，走出一条康庄大道。

Pave The Royal Road To Bliss

You have to deeply cherish the virtuous fruition borne from past painstaking efforts, have to make it grow bigger and bigger, progressively bigger, to create an everlasting and inexhaustible bliss that you can enjoy life after life. This is all because our Teachers and the Three Jewels are leading the way in front, accompanying by our sides, so that we can pave a royal road to bliss in this world filled with thistles and thorns of afflictions.

生命的剧本

生命就是这样，刹那刹那不停地向前流去，而未来会怎样，则跟我们现在做什么有直接关系。 所以现在就是在写剧本，自己就是导演，然后未来自己去演出。因此在撰写下一世脚本的时候，不要把自己塑造成悲剧的主角，一定要是一个欢欢喜喜，吉祥如意，庄严聪慧，善根丰厚的人。

Script Of Life

Life is just like this, it flows continuously forward in split seconds, and how the future will be, has a direct relationship that is dependent on what we are doing now. Hence, we are writing the script currently, we ourselves are the directors, and then we will act out (the script) in the future. Therefore, when writing the script for our next life, do not mould ourselves to be the main leads of a tragedy, it must be a person who is filled with happiness and joy, auspicious with good fortunes, dignified and intelligent, and has thick virtuous roots.

最完美的生命

用我们的生命，用我们的眼泪，用我们所有的一切的一切，让大乘佛法的瑰宝在世界上传承下去，而且从现在开始，尽未来际都做这件事，天上人间实在是找不到比这更完美的生命！

The Most Perfect Life

With our lives, with our tears, with everything that we have, let the treasures of Mahayana Buddhism be passed on in the world, and from now on, we will do this till the infinite future. It is impossible to find a more perfect life than this in the heavens and on earth!

光明海载黄金舟

光明的大海，传承着黄金之舟，每一缕光波，辉耀的是佛陀千古的悲心、永恒的智慧。那在黑暗中痛苦、摸索、沉沦的有情啊！快来这里，这里有温暖！这里有光明、希望和力量！快登上这大乘的黄金之舟，速到彼岸！

Golden Boat on Luminous Ocean

The luminous great ocean is carrying the golden boat. What every ray of light wave shining on is the eternal compassion and everlasting wisdom of Buddha. Those sentient beings suffering in pain, fumbling, sinking into vices in the dark! Come here quickly, there is warmth here! There is light, hope and strength! Quickly board on this Mahayana’s golden boat and reach the other shore!
