證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• 如果用心，生活中的一切人事物，不論是形象或聲音，何者不是在教導我們生活處世之道。如果不用心，不論聽了多少大道理，看了多少事相，都無法領悟真理，更談不上依理而實行了。
If we pay attention to people and things in our surroundings, regardless visual or audio, all can exemplify the skills necessary for our lives. If you do not care, no matter how much education or experience you have received, you still cannot comprehend the truth and follow the right path.
• 時時抱著造福人群的人，就是在救自己。
One constantly strives to benefit the humankind is actually saving himself or herself.
• 最平常的人最富有。
The most ordinary are those who usually feel wealthiest.
• 要淨化大地，必須先淨化人心；欲使氣候調和，要先調好人心。
If we want to clean the Earth, we need to purify our mind first; If we want normal climate, we need to keep people in harmony first.
• 人人降低欲望，回收資源再利用，才不會掏空資源、製造污染；大地能「風調雨順」，人們才能「國泰民安」。
If everyone curbs their desires and participates in recycle, then our limited resources can be conserved and pollution minimized; The Earth returns to its normal and we regain peace and prosperity.
• 寧靜最美，安定最樂。
Peace and harmony are the most wonderful; safety and stability and the most happiest.
