2. 诸行是常，无有是处；汝但一切处无心，即无诸行，亦无无行。

2. All phenomena are constant and have no fixed abode; you simply have no mind in any place, and thus there are no phenomena, nor are there no phenomena.

3. 佛说：得不到的东西，我们会一直以为他是美好的，那是因为你对他了解太少，没有时间与他相处在一起。当有一天，你深入了解后，你会发现原不是你想像中的那么美好。

4. 老子曰: 上善若水，水利万物而不争，处众人之所恶，故几于道。

5. 佛说：学佛是对自己的良心交待，不是做给别人看的。

5. The Buddha said: To study Buddhism is to account to one's own conscience, not to perform for others to see.

6. 佛说：不洗澡的人，硬擦香水是不会香的。名声与尊贵，是来自于真才实学的。有德自然香。

6. The Buddha said: A person who does not bathe but merely sprays perfume will not smell fragrant. Reputation and honor come from true talent and learning. Virtue naturally exudes fragrance.

7. 修行要使妄相由多而少，由强而弱。定功由暂而久，由脆而坚。

7. The practice should aim to reduce the multitude of false appearances, making them weaker from strong. The cultivation of tranquility should progress from temporary to enduring, from fragile to firm.

8. 佛说：笑着面对，不去埋怨。悠然，随心，随性，随缘。注定让一生改变的，只在百年后，那一朵花开的时间。

8. The Buddha said: Face it with a smile, do not complain. Be at ease, follow your heart, follow your nature, follow your circumstances. What is destined to change one's entire life is only at the moment when a flower blooms in a hundred years.

16. Do not take joy in obtaining, do not worry in losing, go with the flow, and be content with what comes along.

17. 佛叹道：一切皆流，无物永驻。凡人就是太在乎自己的感觉、感受，因为才会身处于水深火热之中。

18. 佛说：多用心去倾听别人怎么说，不要急着表达你自己的看法。

18. The Buddha said: Pay more attention to listening to what others have to say, and do not rush to express your own opinions.

19. 佛说：随缘不是得过且过，因循苟且，而是尽人事听天命。

19. The Buddha said: "Following circumstances does not mean just drifting along and making do with what comes, nor does it mean taking things easy and doing things in a perfunctory manner. Instead, it is about doing one's best and leaving the rest to the will of heaven."

20. 佛说：别人永远对，我永远错，这样子比较没烦恼。

27. 发菩提心者，非为己利，原为尽十方遍法界，一切极苦有情之所依怙。

27. Those who cultivate the bodhicitta are not doing so for their own benefit, but rather for the sake of being a refuge for all sentient beings who are enduring extreme suffering in all directions of the Dharma realm.

28. 观身不净，观受是苦，观心无常，观法无我。

28. Seeing the body as impure, perceiving suffering in sensations, recognizing the mind as impermanent, and understanding the doctrine of no-self.

30. The Buddha said: The moment you let go, that's the moment you have no烦恼 (distress or worry).

33. 佛说：如果你自己明明对，别人硬说你不对，你也要向人忏悔，修行就是修这些。你什么事都能忍下来，才会进步。就是明明是你对，你也要向他人求忏悔，那就是修行了。

33. The Buddha said: "If you are clearly right but others insist that you are wrong, you should still repent to others. The practice of Dharma is all about this. Only when you can bear everything can you make progress. Even if you are clearly right, you should seek forgiveness from others, and that is the practice of Dharma."

34. 佛说：见到美色，唯恐心受到诱惑、连忙把眼睛挖出来是愚蠢的行为。因为心才是受诱惑的主角，邪-恶之心如能斩断，作为配角的眼睛就不会输入邪-恶了。

34. The Buddha said: It is foolish to gouge out one's eyes in fear of being tempted by beautiful sights. For it is the mind that is the main actor in temptation. If the evil mind can be cut off, then the eyes, as supporting characters, will not be influenced by evil.

35. 你有你的生命观，我有我的生命观，我不干涉你。只要我能，我就感化你。如果不能，那我就认命。

35. You have your own view of life, and I have mine. I do not interfere with you. As long as I can, I will try to influence you. If I cannot, then I accept my fate.

36. 坏孩子，父母总是比较操心。所以对于罪业愈深重的众生，我们更应该特别宽恕他怜愍他，而不应该远离他舍弃他。

36. Bad children always worry their parents. Therefore, for those beings with deeper sins, we should especially forgive and compassionately care for them, rather than distance ourselves from them or abandon them.

37. 佛说：忘记并不等于从未存在，一切自在来源于选择，而不是刻意。不如放手，放下的越多，越觉得拥有的更多。

37. Buddha said: To forget does not mean that it never existed. Everything comes from choice, not from deliberate intention. It's better to let go. The more you let go, the more you will feel that you have.

38. 佛说：一切有为法，尽是因缘合和，缘起时起，缘尽还无，不外如是。

38. The Buddha said: All things that are done have their origin in causes and conditions; they arise when the causes and conditions come together, and they cease when the causes and conditions are exhausted. It is none other than this.

39. 能说不能行，不是真智慧。

39. It is not true wisdom to talk but not to act.

40. 笑着面对，不去埋怨。悠然，随心，随性，随缘。

40. Face life with a smile, do not complain. Be relaxed, follow your heart, be spontaneous, and be guided by fate.

41. 如来说世界，非世界，是名世界。

41. As the Buddha says, when he speaks of the world, it is not the world; it is called the world.

43. 佛说：大怀爱欲。不见道者。譬如澄水。致手搅之。众人共临。无有睹其影者。人以爱欲交错。心中浊兴。故不见道。汝等沙门。当舍爱欲。爱欲垢荆道可见矣。

43. The Buddha said: "Great is the love and desire. Those who do not see the path are like still water. When you stir your hand in it, everyone comes to see, but none can see their own reflection. People intertwine their love and desire, their hearts become turbid, thus they cannot see the path. You monks, you should renounce love and desire; when you do, the path is clear from the dirt of desire."

46. 佛典里说，慈，既是予乐。悲，既是拔苦。拔除众生的痛苦，给众生以快乐，就是慈悲！

46. The Buddhist scriptures say, Compassion, is the giving of joy. Compassion is the alleviation of suffering. To alleviate the suffering of all beings and to bring joy to them is compassion!

47. 不为他人着想，永远得不到你想要的东西。

47. If you never think of others, you will never get what you want.
