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

• 人們常要求別人要對自己好,順自己的意;否則就埋怨、氣憤,拿別人的錯誤來懲罰
自己,這就是煩惱的來源。

We often take goodwill from others for granted and demand others to accept our wishes. When our demands are ignored or rejected, we often turn angry, frustrated, and self-pitying. This is exactly the sources of our troubles.

• 人生要「現實」才好──「現實」的真正意義,是不要幻想太多,要注重活生生的現
在,去做實在的事。

We had better recognize and accept the reality in our life. To do so, we should stop daydreaming and focus our energy to something concrete and achievable.

• 內心若不調和,身體行動就不會和氣,待人接物時就易發生衝突。

If we could not control our emotion, our demeanor will become unsettled thus resulting in more conflicts with others.

• 人生無常,要把握時間,用心於自己的言行舉止。

Life is ever changing. We must seize the time to improve our demeanor.

• 許多研究氣候、天災的國際學者,紛紛提倡 素食 ,清淡的飲食不但有助於健康,還能減緩溫室氣體的增加,對大地、氣候都有幫助。

Many internationally renowned climate researches are promoting vegetarian diet. Such diet is not only beneficial to our health but also reduce emission of green house gases.

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

• 要擁有很可愛的人生,就要自己先去愛人。

If you want to have a wonderful life, you should begin to love others and make other’s life wonderful first.

• 但是只要大家不斷地培養愛心,積善之家有餘慶,家家積善,社會才能祥和。

We should constantly cultivate our empathy and compassion toward others. A society could only reach peaceful and harmony if every family celebrates charity.

• 時時與人結好緣,任何時候都要讓人起歡喜心。

We should maintain a gentle relationship with others and always make others comfortable in our presence.

• 應常自省在歡樂情境中,心念、言行是否正確?應學習在動中不礙內心虔誠的靜。

We should constantly remind ourselves about our intentions and behavior especially in the celebrated moments. We have to maintain a peaceful mind even our surrounding are in turmoil.

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

• 人唯有縮小自己,放大別人,才能走入人心。

We can only be accepted by others if we give up our ego and treat others with respect.

• 以同理心待人,多為人著想,人家自然也會感動,會為我們設想。

If we expect others to treat us with compassion and empathy, we should treat others the same first.

• 世間本就是困難重重,必須有耐心、毅力,才能一步步克服難關。

With patience and persistence, we shall gradually overcome the many obstacles encountered in our life.

• 要學會苦中作樂─凡事要樂觀,不要洩氣。

Maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude even in adverse situations and never give up.

• 短暫人生中,寸寸道路都是過去自我鋪設成的;未來道路的方向,就看這一生要如何鋪。最重要的是把握活著的時候,用愛鋪路走向未來。

To what destiny will our journey lead us is determined by our past actions. Therefore, remember to pave your journey with love and passion.
