證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• 人都是求「有」，什麼叫「有」呢？有就是煩惱。
Everyone seeks "to have". What is "to have"? It is to have worries.
• 君子如水，隨方就圓，無處不自在。
A gentleman is like water, which takes the shape of the container into which it flows. He is comfortable in any situation.
• 死掉過去的煩惱心，生出今日解脫的境界。
Forget the worries of the past and be free today.
