證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
- 看別人不順眼，是自己修養不夠。
One who constantly looks down on others reveals his lack of moral cultivation.
- 盡多少本分，就得多少本事。
The more effort you put into your work, the more ability you gain.
- 屋寬不如心寬。
It is better to have a generous heart than a spacious dwelling.
