證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:

• 人生的目的,不在於享受物欲,而是盡責任;人的責任,就是去付出。

The purpose of life is not just to get pleasure but also to fulfill responsibility. Our responsibility is to advance benefit of all humankind.

• 欲之所以誘惑人,都是起於一時的貪及一念心的偏差。

People could not resist the undue temptation because of their greed and loss of consciousness.

• 我們要以感恩心面對每個人,還要勤造福;常保心平氣和就會平安,懂得修慧就能心寬。

We should always feel thankful toward others and make good deeds. Keep our mind humble and our wisdom growing will ensure peace and fulfillment.

• 救社會的方法,唯有一樣──『愛』。人心有愛,社會才有救。

Love is the only prescription to cure the ills of society. Only everyone shows his/her love, the society can recover from quagmire.

• 於己,要抱著謙虛受教的心態;對人,則要珍惜共事的因緣。

We should maintain respectful and humble attitude toward those around us and cherish the share experience with them.
