證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語:
• 若再荒蕪的土地,只要有人肯撒種、耕耘,很快就會綠油油地,充滿豐收的生機。
• 如果每個人都有「惜福」觀念,懂得疼惜生命,甚至連一切的物質也能愛惜,社會上就不會有過多的「消費」與「垃圾」問題了
• 若肯用心於日常生活中,則語默動靜無一不是教化。
• 若能用心,道理就在眼前;若不用心,真理就與我們無關。
• 若心思太複雜,凡事顧慮多、煩惱多,本能就無由發揮。
• 做人圓融,事情才能圓滿,人事圓滿,就表示自己真懂道理。

Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• As long as one is willing to do the hard work, even the most barren land can be transformed into fertile ground that produces plenty harvest.
• If everyone learns to be prudent and cherishes every life and resources, the crisis of overconsumption, waste accumulation, acute pollution, etc. will all be alleviated.
• If you really pay attention and effort in daily life, you will find enlightenments in all the things happened around you.
• If you observe your surrounding carefully, you will realize the truths actually everywhere. Otherwise, you will just be blinded by your own ignorance.
• Making everything overly complicated and worrying about the trivial details will render anyone paralyzed and apprehensive.
• Success can only be achieved only if you know how to manage every members of your team. After you understand the virtue of keeping both people and things in harmony, you have indeed reached enlightenment.

Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• The truth and joy of our life can only be realized after we endure suffering and obstacles.
• With truthful, honest and pure attitude, we can build strong friendship with others
• Respect for life is a fundamental principle that we shall all follow.
• Life is short and unpredictable, many think nothing but indulge themselves in pursue of fame, wealth, and status. When the inevitable comes, they leave everything they have fought for behind but their sins. The true salvation of our lives is to give and accomplish good deeds.
• The motto, we all born as brothers/sisters, advise us treat others like our family with respect and love but prejudice.
• Do not be bothered by those trivial businesses in our lives, instead, pay utmost attention to purify our intent and fulfill our responsibility. Then our life can end with significance but regrets.
• Regardless of our lifespan, one should strive to make his/her life without regrets. Only a life without regrets is meaningful to us.
• Desire or greed, like the tsunami waves, leaves our mind turbulent. On the other hand, Buddhist teachings, like morning dew, give our mind fresh and calm.
• If we can transform our attitude and idea, seize every opportunity to perform good deeds without hesitation, our life will gradually be morphed to the better.
• Opportunity comes and goes fast; we should seize the moment and do our best for the greater good.
• Whoever appreciates others will be appreciated as well; whoever loves others will be loved back.

Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• The truth and joy of our life can only be realized after we endure suffering and obstacles.
• With truthful, honest and pure attitude, we can build strong friendship with others
• Respect for life is a fundamental principle that we shall all follow.
• Life is short and unpredictable, many think nothing but indulge themselves in pursue of fame, wealth, and status. When the inevitable comes, they leave everything they have fought for behind but their sins. The true salvation of our lives is to give and accomplish good deeds.
• The motto, we all born as brothers/sisters, advise us treat others like our family with respect and love but prejudice.
• Do not be bothered by those trivial businesses in our lives, instead, pay utmost attention to purify our intent and fulfill our responsibility. Then our life can end with significance but regrets.
• Regardless of our lifespan, one should strive to make his/her life without regrets. Only a life without regrets is meaningful to us.
• Desire or greed, like the tsunami waves, leaves our mind turbulent. On the other hand, Buddhist teachings, like morning dew, give our mind fresh and calm.
• If we can transform our attitude and idea, seize every opportunity to perform good deeds without hesitation, our life will gradually be morphed to the better.
• Opportunity comes and goes fast; we should seize the moment and do our best for the greater good.
• Whoever appreciates others will be appreciated as well; whoever loves others will be loved back.
