在追求健康的道路上，我们放下名利，唤醒沉睡的生命，迈向全新的生活境界。

On the journey to health, we lay down fame and wealth, awaken the sleeping life, and stride towards a brand new realm of life.

1. 杨绛先生说：

1. Mr. Yang Jiang said:

2. “人这一辈子，一定要照顾好自己，除了健康，什么都不是你的。少生气，少计较，多开心，输了健康，赢了世界又如何。心情要好，人要美，开心就笑，累了就睡觉，没心没肺，快乐才会翻倍。既然上了生活的贼船，那就做个快乐的海盗。不经历点烂事，那算什么人生，但凡要不了你命，人生随时可以重启，做个自带阳光、乐观、快乐的人。”

2. "In this lifetime, you must take good care of yourself. Besides health, nothing else is yours. Less anger, less nitpicking, more happiness. What's the use of winning the world if you lose your health? Keep a good mood, be beautiful, smile when you are happy, and sleep when you are tired. Be carefree and naive, for that's when joy is doubled. Since you've boarded the pirate ship of life, why not be a happy pirate. Without experiencing some bad things, what is life? If anything doesn't take your life, you can restart your life anytime. Be a person who brings sunshine, optimism, and happiness."

3. 中医认为：身心不二。一个人的健康，是有身体和心灵双向构成，互为表里，相辅相成。身体病弱，心灵也不会快乐。心灵消极，身体也不会健康。

3. According to traditional Chinese medicine: the body and mind are one. A person's health is composed of both the body and the mind, which are interrelated and complement each other. If the body is weak, the mind will not be happy. And if the mind is negative, the body will not be healthy.

4. 我们要同时照看好自己的身体和心灵，才能健康快乐，活得滋润美好。

4. We need to take care of both our bodies and minds simultaneously in order to live a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life.

5. 人生最普遍的执念，不过于名利二字。

5. The most common obsession in life is all about fame and wealth.

6. 很多人穷其一生，费尽心机，勾心斗角，忙碌如狗，只为了升职加薪，实现自己的利益最大化。

6. Many people spend their entire lives, going to great lengths and engaging in intrigue, working tirelessly as if they are dogs, all just for the sake of getting a promotion and a raise, and maximizing their own benefits.

7. 这些人，往往忽略了家庭建设和孩子的教育，也荒芜了宁静的生活和诗意的日子。

7. These people often neglect family construction and children's education, and also waste peaceful life and poetic days.

8. 纵然最后身居高位，手握巨款，自以为人中龙凤，沾沾自喜。而在别人看来，无非是权虫禄鬼，完全丧失了一个人的境界。

8. Even if one eventually reaches a high position and holds a large sum of money, believing oneself to be a dragon among humans, feeling self-satisfied. However, in others' eyes, one is merely a power-obsessed official or a ghost of wealth, having completely lost one's personal character.

9. 再大的名利权位，再多的财富金钱，最后我们都会变成黄土里的枯骨，什么也带不走。

9. No matter how great the fame, wealth, and power, or how much money we accumulate, in the end, we will all turn into withered bones in the earth, carrying nothing away.

10. 德国哲学家叔本华说，人最大的愚蠢，就是拿健康，去换取其他的身外之物。

10. The German philosopher Schopenhauer said that the greatest folly of man is to trade his health for other material things beyond himself.

11. 拥有健康的时候，你可能有1000种想法。失去健康，你只能有一种想法，就是如何找回自己的健康。

11. When you have good health, you may have a thousand ideas. But when you lose it, you can only have one thought, which is how to regain your health.

12. 一个人健康快乐得活着，比什么都重要。何必为了世俗的功名富贵，搅扰自己的一生呢？

12. Living a healthy and happy life is more important than anything else. Why trouble oneself for the worldly fame and wealth?

13. 有一段话说得很好，发人深思：

13. There is a saying that is very thought-provoking and profound:

14. “不要炫耀你的钱，在医院那就像纸；不要炫耀你的工作，你倒下了，无数人会比你做的更出色；不要炫耀你的房，你去了，那就是别人的窝；不要炫耀你的车，你离开了，车钥匙就在别人手里握！你唯一可以炫耀的只有你的健康！”

14. "Do not炫耀 your money, in a hospital it's just like paper; do not炫耀 your job, when you fall down, countless people can do better than you; do not炫耀 your house, when you are gone, it becomes someone else's nest; do not炫耀 your car, when you leave, the car keys are in someone else's hand! The only thing you can boast about is your health!"

15. 名利不过过眼云烟，健康快乐才是人生的目的。

15. Fame and fortune are but fleeting clouds, and good health and happiness are the true purpose of life.

16. 人生最重要的事情，就是照看好自己的心灵，滋养好自己的身体。

16. The most important thing in life is to take care of one's own soul and nourish one's own body.

17. 只要我们身体倍儿棒，心灵倍儿乐观，即便我们终其一生普普通通，碌碌无为，又有什么要紧呢！

17. As long as we are physically strong and mentally optimistic, what does it matter if we lead a common and uneventful life throughout our entire life!

18. 唐伯虎作诗：

18. Tang Bohu writes a poem:

19. “别人笑我太疯癫，我笑他人看不穿。不见五陵豪杰墓，无花无酒锄作田。”

19. "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at them for not seeing through. Not seeing the tombs of the heroic men of the Five Passes, there are no flowers, no wine, only the fields plowed."

20. 不要管别人怎么看，不要管别人怎么活，我们放下名利，远离纷扰，专注身心健康，始终积极快乐，乐观豁达，万般自在。

20. Do not concern yourself with how others perceive or live their lives. Let go of fame and fortune, distance yourself from the hustle and bustle, focus on your physical and mental health, always maintain a positive and joyful attitude, be optimistic and open-minded, and be at ease in all things.

22. 男女之所以会互相吸引，实是两种能量在背后推动造成的，每个人都是由两种能量和合产生的。如果你是男人，那么在你身上会有阳性能量百分之五十一，阴性能量只有百分之四十九。是女人的话，在你身上会有阴性能量百分之五十一，阳性能量只有百分四十九。在每一个人身上是有一半的能量在沉睡，如果你是男的，会有四十九的阴性能量在沉睡，女人身上会有四十九的阳性能量在沉睡，因此每一个人都会寻找另外的百分之四十九的能量来协调——如是产生了爱情。

22. The reason why men and women are attracted to each other is actually due to the push of two energies behind the scenes. Everyone is produced by the combination of two energies. If you are a man, there will be 51% of the masculine energy in you, and only 49% of the feminine energy. If you are a woman, there will be 51% of the feminine energy in you, and only 49% of the masculine energy. In each person, half of the energy is asleep. If you are a man, 49% of the feminine energy will be asleep, and for women, 49% of the masculine energy will be asleep. Therefore, everyone will seek the other 49% of energy to coordinate with them — thus love is produced.

23. 每时每刻都能做到思想高度集中在生命活动的每一个当下，心无二用，身心健康，思想境界和道德修养就能得到提升。

23. At every moment, if one can maintain a highly focused mind on the present moment of life activities, with no divided attention, both physical and mental health will be promoted, and one's ideological realm and moral cultivation will be enhanced.

24. 人生中，快乐带给我们愉悦，痛苦带给我们回味。真正的快乐，我们很难记起，但痛苦却往往难以忘却。既然痛苦不可避免，我们又人们无法抗拒，为什么不学会面带微笑迎对痛苦的来临呢？

24. In life, happiness brings us joy, and pain brings us memories. True happiness is often difficult to recall, but pain is often hard to forget. Since pain is inevitable and we cannot resist it, why not learn to face the arrival of pain with a smile?

25. 泼洒的岁月，有时让我们雀跃，有时让我们平静。我们雀跃的是一时的心境，我们平静的是平时的心情。人生就是这样，经历过所有的风风雨雨，最后一切归属到所有的阑珊里，然后朝自己笑笑，再放下青春而启程。着墨的记忆，泼洒的青春，一直洋溢在我们生命的阑珊处，经久的回忆，经久的感念。

25. The years of splashing and pouring bring us joy sometimes, and peace at other times. The joy we feel is a transient mood, while the peace we find is our usual state of mind. Life is like that, after experiencing all kinds of storms and trials, everything eventually comes to rest in the twilight of our lives. Then we smile at ourselves, put aside our youth, and set off again. The memories we cherish, the youthful spirit we pour out, always linger in the twilight of our lives, becoming enduring memories and heartfelt contemplations.

26. 人生在世，切不要失去慈悲心，一定要常常观照这颗心，使它富有智慧与永恒！没有美好愿望的欢喜，也许是残酷的；而没有欢喜的美好愿望，则容易变得冷漠。在似水的流年里，应以无畏的智慧帮助别人，不求回报，但求奉献；不求被理解，但求去理解；不求被爱，但求去爱。

26. In life, one must never lose the compassion in one's heart. It is essential to constantly observe this heart, making it filled with wisdom and eternity! Joy without beautiful wishes may be cruel; and without joy, beautiful wishes are prone to become indifferent. In the flowing years like water, one should help others with fearless wisdom, not seeking any return, but only desiring to contribute; not seeking to be understood, but to understand; not seeking to be loved, but to love.

27. 现在很痛苦，等过阵子回头看看，会发现其实那都不算事。生活的真谛在于创新，生活的理想在于远大，生活的艺术在于选择。一直觉得，等待是一种美好的状态，因为它包含了无数的可能性。生活要踏实，平平淡淡的快乐就是够。

27. Now it's very painful, but when you look back after a while, you'll find that none of that matters. The essence of life lies in innovation, the ideal of life lies in grandeur, and the art of life lies in choice. I always think that waiting is a beautiful state because it encompasses countless possibilities. Life should be down-to-earth, and simple happiness is enough.

28. 不喜繁华喧嚣，喜欢安安静静的一个人，守着那一份仅属于自己的恬静。放上一段清纯的轻音乐，沏上一杯香茗，写几行自己喜欢的文字。许是禅林遗落的一颗种子，生就一副多情的柔肠。

28. Dislikes the hustle and bustle of繁华, prefers to be alone in quiet solitude, guarding that tranquility that belongs solely to oneself. Put on some pure light music, brew a cup of fragrant tea, write a few lines of words that one likes. Perhaps a seed left behind in a Zen garden, with a naturally sensitive and tender heart.

29. 在佛家眼中，心中无物，四大皆空。我们虽达不到这种境界，但也应当时时擦拭心中杂念，以使其不被尘世所染。

29. In the eyes of Buddhism, when the mind is empty of all things, the four great elements are empty as well. Although we may not reach this level, we should still constantly wipe away the杂 thoughts in our minds to prevent them from being contaminated by the mundane world.

30. 外离相为禅，内不乱为定。外若着相，内心即乱；外若离相，心即不乱。本性自净自定，只为见境思境即乱。若见诸境心不乱者，是真定也。

30. Abiding outside of the illusion is called Zen, maintaining inner tranquility is called samadhi. If one is fixated on the external forms, the inner mind becomes chaotic; if one releases the attachment to the external forms, the mind remains undisturbed. The nature is inherently self-purified and self-stabilized; it becomes chaotic only when one becomes entangled in perceiving and thinking about the external conditions. If one sees all conditions without the mind being chaotic, that is true samadhi.

31. 念佛人心地慈悲，一切时、一切处，与一切众生广结法缘——没有力量的时候，欢喜赞叹，广结法缘；有能力的时候，随分随力，成人之美。人家做一桩好事，这个好事利益社会、利益众生。我们有钱，用财物帮助他；没有钱，我们有时间，我们去做义工，以劳力帮助他。

31. The hearts of those who recite the Buddha's name are compassionate. At all times and places, they widely connect with all sentient beings through Dharma causes and connections—when they lack power, they joyfully praise and widely connect with Dharma causes; when they have the ability, they do good deeds to the best of their abilities. When others do a good deed, this good deed benefits society and sentient beings. If we have money, we help them with our wealth; if we don't have money, we have time, so we volunteer and help them with our labor.

32. 即心即佛莫妄求，非心非佛休别讨。红炉焰上雪花飞，一点清凉除热恼。——《大慧普觉禅师语录》

32. Seek not for Buddha within or outside the mind; do not seek elsewhere if there is neither mind nor Buddha. Snowflakes flutter over the flames of the red furnace, a touch of coolness to alleviate the heat and烦恼.- - From the "Records of Great Hui, the Monk of Universal Enlightenment"

33. 我们是自己的主人，我们讲良心不是由于社会的强迫，而是出自对自身生命的关怀和承担。——净慧

33. We are the masters of ourselves; we speak with a conscience not because of social coercion, but out of care and responsibility for our own lives. — Jinghui

34. 吝啬鬼不会成为富翁，施舍者不会成为穷人。（宋末元初）贡噶坚赞《萨迦格言》

34. A miser will never become rich, and a giver will never be poor. (End of Song Dynasty, beginning of Yuan Dynasty) Gongka Jiancesan's "Sayings of Sakya."

35. 学道须是铁汉，两字信条：真干。宁肯碎骨粉身，终不忘失正念。（当代）夏莲居《自警录》

35. To study the way, one must be a man of iron will, adhering to the two-character maxim: genuine action. One would rather be broken to powder or crushed to dust than forget the true intention. (Contemporary) Xia Lianju, "Record of Self-Warning"

36. 仇恨好比一把无形的利剑，随时都有可能插向被恨者的胸膛，同时也使自己的心灵扭曲成丑陋的畸形甚至失去人性。其实，究其起因，有时只是一点误会而已。人应当忘记仇恨，因为仇恨是一件令人很痛苦的事情。

36. Hatred is like an invisible sword, which can be thrust into the chest of the hated at any moment, while also distorting one's own soul into ugly deformities, even losing one's humanity. In fact, sometimes the cause is just a mere misunderstanding. People should forget about hatred, as it is a thing that brings a great deal of pain.

37. 他必须于日常生活中把它淡化掉，使自己悟了的一种人生新境界，变得很熟悉（生处使熟），过去前尘幻影所覆盖的阴暗面，必须反省、发露、彻底忏除（熟处变生）。

37. He must淡ize it in everyday life, making the new realm of life that he has realized very familiar (make the unfamiliar familiar), and the dark aspects covered by the past illusions must be reflected upon, exposed, and thoroughly confessed (make the familiar unfamiliar).

38. 有些学佛人，表面上念佛认真、吃素严格、打坐精进，然而生活中，对家人缺乏关爱，不能做到家庭和睦，对金刚师兄缺乏包容，不能做到金刚师兄之间的团结。与家人不和睦，表明失去了做人的基础，与金刚师兄不团结，表明失去了修行的根本。既然没有做人的基础和修行的根本，那么学佛又有什么成就的希望呢？

38. Some people who study Buddhism may appear to recite their prayers diligently, adhere to a strict vegetarian diet, and practice meditation with great effort. However, in their daily lives, they lack care and affection for their family members, fail to maintain harmonious family relationships, and show a lack of tolerance towards their fellow practitioners, failing to foster unity among them. Disagreements with family members indicate a loss of the foundation of being a human, and lack of unity with fellow practitioners signifies a loss of the essence of spiritual cultivation. Without the foundation of being a human and the essence of spiritual cultivation, what hope is there for any achievement in studying Buddhism?

39. 恒愚法师禅语人生人生总是有得有失的，岂能尽善尽美，舍得微笑，得到的是友谊；舍得诚实，得到的是朋友；舍得面子，到得是坦然；舍得虚名，得到的是洒脱；舍得尘世的纠缠，得到的是自由；舍得狭隘，收获的豁达；人生就是要多些包容与理解，也让人生少许多烦恼与痛苦。

39. Chan Sayings of Master Hengyu Life is always a mix of gains and losses, how can it be perfect in all aspects? Let go of a smile, and you gain friendship; let go of honesty, and you gain friends; let go of pride, and you gain ease; let go of empty fame, and you gain freedom; let go of worldly entanglements, and you gain liberation; let go of narrowmindedness, and you reap generosity. Life is about having more tolerance and understanding, which also allows us to have fewer worries and pains.

40. 要批评别人时，先想想自己是否完美。 别人做错了事，我们可能会批评指正别人；别人走错了路，我们往往 会提醒别人；但在我们提醒别人的时候别忘了提醒自己，在批评指正别人 时也要批评指正自己，这样我们才能觉悟自我和觉悟他人。

40. When it comes to criticizing others, first consider whether you are perfect yourself. When others make mistakes, we may criticize and correct them; when others take a wrong path, we often remind them; but when reminding others, don't forget to remind yourself. When criticizing and correcting others, also criticize and correct yourself. This way, we can enlighten ourselves and enlighten others.

41. 最难的修行，不是在深山独处，与人世隔绝；不是在禅坐中，掉入某个境界。最难的修行，是在关系里。想在关系里与谐相处，就必须打开自己的心，才能同时看见别人的心；满足自己的心，才能同时满足别人的心。

41. The most difficult practice is not to be alone in the deep mountains, isolated from the world; nor to fall into some realm while meditating. The most difficult practice is within relationships. To harmoniously coexist in relationships, one must open one's own heart, then one can see the hearts of others; satisfy one's own heart, then one can satisfy the hearts of others.

42. 骄傲是一种不幸，自负是一种毁灭，俗话说："谦虚的人马到成功，骄傲的人途穷日暮"。谦虚是一种资本，谦虚的人，因为看得透彻，所以不急躁；因为想得长远，所以不狂妄；因为站得高，所以不骄傲；因为立得正，所以不畏惧。谦虚之人，虚怀若谷，能纳百川于胸中；而骄傲自满，必难吸收有用之物。人生有涯而学海无涯，一个人不管知识多么渊博，也不过是沧海一粟。只有保持一颗谦虚的心，以一种谦卑的态度处世，才能够在念念之间一步一步接近禅的至高境界。

42. Pride is an ill, arrogance is a ruin. As the saying goes: "The humble succeed with ease, while the proud fail in the end." Humility is a capital; the humble person, because they see through things clearly, is not hasty; because they think long-term, they are not impetuous; because they stand high, they are not proud; because they are upright, they are not afraid. The humble person has an open heart like a valley, capable of embracing the vastness of the rivers and streams; whereas, one who is proud and self-satisfied will find it difficult to absorb useful things. Life is finite, but the ocean of knowledge is endless. No matter how extensive a person's knowledge is, they are merely a tiny grain of sand in the vast sea. Only by maintaining a humble heart and treating the world with a humble attitude can one step by step approach the highest境界 of Zen.

43. 禅既是一种精神上的休息，也是一种不可言喻的智慧。禅开人心智、助人成长，使人感悟到世界的和谐、心境的清澈、生命的圆融。一旦你能够放下所有对于观念的执著，放下生老病死、悲欢离合，那么就能够得到佛陀的真正智慧，也就达到禅的最高境界了。

43. Zen is both a spiritual rest and an ineffable wisdom. Zen opens the mind, aids in growth, and enables one to perceive the harmony of the world, the clarity of the mind, and the wholeness of life. Once you are able to let go of all attachment to concepts, and to the cycles of birth, old age, illness, and death, joy and sorrow, separation and reunion, then you can attain the true wisdom of the Buddha, and also reach the highest level of Zen.

44. 岁月在深深浅浅的足迹里，相遇与别离，每一天都在L演。遇见，是为—了给彼此留下暖意；别离，只是为了走出不属于自己的季节。

44. The years are playing out in the deep and shallow footprints, encounters and farewells, each day unfolding in the letter L. Encounters are for leaving warmth for each other; farewells are merely to step out of seasons that do not belong to us.

45. 无论善念还是恶念，正念还是邪念，一切的起心动念皆是缘生缘灭、缘起缘落，这说明心的本性是空性；无论我们在地狱还是在天堂，感受快乐还是遭受痛苦，心中本来就圆满具备慈悲心、菩提心以及大智慧等如来藏佛性的一切功德，这说明心的自性是光明。

45. Whether it is good thoughts or evil thoughts, right thoughts or wrong thoughts, all arising and ceasing of thoughts are due to causes and conditions, which indicates the nature of the mind is emptiness; whether we are in hell or in paradise, experiencing happiness or suffering, the mind inherently possesses all the virtues of the Buddha-nature, such as compassion, bodhicitta, and great wisdom, which means the nature of the mind is luminous.

46. 平凡的人生是一种清淡的人生，生命即使没有轰轰烈烈，也无后人之仰慕，却无不让人感到一种生存的神圣与尊严。平凡绝非浅陋，绝非自甘平庸，更不是不思进取。生活本来就是平凡的，只要我们付出了努力，承担了责任，实现了自身存在的价值，平凡人也同样具有魅力，平凡人同样也是高尚的人。

46. A life of ordinariness is a life of simplicity, where even if life lacks great exploits, it does not receive admiration from future generations, yet it evokes a sense of the sacredness and dignity of existence. Ordinary is not simple-minded, not resigned to mediocrity, nor lacking ambition. Life itself is ordinary; as long as we exert effort, shoulder responsibility, and realize the value of our existence, ordinary people can also possess charm, and ordinary people can also be noble individuals.

47. 如果仅仅因为自己是佛教徒，便片面坚持佛教一定要兴盛，这其实偏离了佛教无我的真精神。如同希望我一家独大，以便获取最大利益一样。

47. If one solely because of being a Buddhist, unilaterally insists that Buddhism must thrive, this actually deviates from the true spirit of Buddhism's concept of non-self. Just like hoping for one's own family to dominate so as to gain the maximum benefits.

48. 用慧心观照五蕴皆空。用自心领导六根生活。用信心开发自我潜能。用慈心与人和谐共处。用孝心重整伦理道德。用爱心拥有快乐生活。用悲心成就利生事业。用喜心涵容宇宙万有。用舍心广结无量善缘。用净心远离贪染色欲。用禅心安顿顺逆境界。用愿心创造圆满人间。

48. With a wise heart, observe that all the five aggregates are empty. Use your own heart to lead the life of the six roots. With confidence, tap into your own potential. With a kind heart, live harmoniously with others. With filial piety, restore ethical and moral values. With love, enjoy a happy life. With compassion, accomplish the cause of benefiting sentient beings. With joy, embrace all the wonders of the universe. With generosity, cultivate innumerable good connections. With purity, distance yourself from greed and desires. With tranquility, find peace in both favorable and adverse circumstances. With determination, create a perfect human world.

49. "不圆满"是需要我们去面对和承认的事实，但我们也可以换一个角度进行分析，其实缺陷和不圆满也是一种美，太过一帆风顺、太过于完美，反而可能令我们感到腻烦、心生厌倦而不懂珍惜。

49. "Incompleteness" is a fact that we need to face and acknowledge, but we can also analyze it from a different perspective. In fact, defects and incompleteness are also a form of beauty. Being too smooth-sailing and too perfect may instead make us feel tired and weary, leading to a lack of appreciation.

50. 多一事不如少一事，多一念不如少一念。有念必有事，无念便无事。除非南无阿弥陀佛。

50. It's better to do less than more, and better to have fewer thoughts than more. Every thought leads to an event, and without thoughts, there are no events. Unless it is the invocation to Amida Buddha.

51. 生活需要规范，但又不可以把自己变成规范的奴隶；因为死守着规范，就不能解决新的问题。有时候，为了达到某种目的，可以采取违反常规的方法，重要的是先改变自己看待事物的标准。

51. Life requires regulation, but one cannot become a slave to regulations; because if one clings rigidly to regulations, new problems cannot be resolved. Sometimes, to achieve a certain goal, one may adopt unconventional methods, and what is important is to first change one's standards for viewing things.

52. 生活的禅法，来自于对生命的感知与尊重，它是一种对生命关切与理解的一开始，也是在烦恼中突破与觉醒的一盏灯火，悲欢交错，苦乐叠加，活成了一场生命朴素、自然、活泼的向前。是一条长路，也是一场期待，改造生命的质量，就此一开始。

52. The Zen of life comes from the perception and respect for life. It is an initial concern and understanding of life, as well as a beacon of breakthrough and awakening amidst troubles. It is an interweaving of joy and sorrow, the叠加 of hardship and happiness, living out a simple, natural, and lively journey forward. It is a long path, and also a journey of anticipation. It begins with the transformation of the quality of life.

53. 顺境和逆境比较，人们都喜欢顺境。因为在同等条件下，在顺境中向 目标奋斗，如同顺水行舟，天时、地利、人和等有利因素使人们更容易接 近和实现目标。但是顺境对人的事业发展也有不利因素，顺境中的宽松气 氛、优越条件，易使人滋生骄娇二气，自满自足，意志衰退。古人说的 "生于忧患，死于安乐"，就是对顺境消极作用的一种警戒。积极利用顺境 的有利条件，避免顺境的消极影响，是我们在人生的旅途中应该注意的

53. When comparing prosperity and adversity, people generally prefer prosperity. Because under the same conditions, struggling towards goals in prosperity is like sailing with the wind, with favorable factors such as favorable timing, geographical advantages, and harmony among people making it easier for people to approach and achieve their goals. However, prosperity also has negative factors for one's career development. The relaxed atmosphere and favorable conditions in prosperity may lead to arrogance and vanity, self-satisfaction, and a decline in willpower. The ancient saying "to thrive in worry and to perish in comfort" is a warning against the negative effects of prosperity. Actively utilizing the favorable conditions of prosperity and avoiding its negative impact is something we should pay attention to on our journey through life.

54. 才华充足的人，一方面很容易达到目的，很快就获得了世俗的满足；另一方面，因所求没有止境，又永远不容易寻得内在的圆满，才华反而成了自苦的根源。——证严法师

54. Individuals with abundant talent can easily achieve their goals and quickly attain secular satisfaction on one hand; on the other hand, because their desires have no end, they are never easy to find inner fulfillment, and talent becomes the root of self-torture. -- Venerable Shengyan

55. "水"的柔弱自不必说，谁都能想象得到。然而"水滴穿石"的现象又印证了水的"刚强"超过坚硬的"石头"。究竟是什么原因让原本"柔弱"的水变得如此"刚强"的呢？这里面蕴藏着一种巨大的力量，那就是——坚持！水的不懈坚持可以把石头滴穿。也就是说，简单的事情只要你能坚持不懈地去做，就能得到一个伟大的结果。

55. The softness of "water" goes without saying, as anyone can imagine it. However, the phenomenon of "water droplets wearing away the stone" also proves that water's "stamina" surpasses that of the hard "stone". What is the reason that makes the originally "soft" water become so "sturdy"? This contains a great power, that is—perseverance! The relentless perseverance of water can wear through stones. In other words, if you can persistently do simple things, you can achieve a great result.

56. 有多少东西即便占有了，也未必真的属于我们，还可能因为占有而让自己失去太多。很多时候，我们舍不得放弃一个有之无益、弃之可惜的工作，舍不得放弃已经逝去很远的往事，舍不得放弃对权力和金钱的角逐……于是，我们只能用生命作为代价，透支着健康与年华。

56. How many things, even if we possess them, may not truly belong to us, and might even cause us to lose too much by holding onto them. Often, we are reluctant to let go of a job that is of no benefit to us, or to let go of past events that have drifted far away, or to let go of the pursuit of power and wealth... As a result, we have to pay the price of our lives, overextending our health and youth.

57. 园子里有朵很美的花，烧火僧把它移植到花盆里放在房间里，没想到，几天后，花死了。禅师：有些东西因为想得到才会失去。

57. In the garden, there was a very beautiful flower. The monk who tended the fire移植 it to a pot and placed it in the room. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the flower died. The monk: Some things are lost because we want to obtain them.

58. 前世，我是那汉水边迎风而立的女人，在苍苍蒹葭的摇曳间轻扬笔墨，依香而吟，静书着一份澄澈若水的禅心。

58. In a past life, I was the woman standing by the Han River, facing the wind, lightly waving my brush among the swaying reeds, humming in tune with the fragrance, silently writing a clear and pure Zen mind like water.

59. 虽三藏十二部，言言互摄互融，然必得其要，方能势如破竹。

59. Although there are the Three Treasures and twelve divisions of the scriptures, each word is mutually inclusive and interpenetrates, yet one must grasp its essence in order to proceed with the momentum of a bamboo split through the ground.

60. 盲目的、没有节制的自由恰恰会给我们带来不自由，而对贪、嗔、痴的约束则体现出人类的智慧与觉性。

60. Blind and unbridled freedom actually brings us unfreedom, while the constraints on greed, anger, and ignorance reflect the wisdom and enlightenment of humanity.

61. 安逸快乐，虽然是每个人都喜欢的，也是每个人必须节制的。快乐 不可以过度，欲望也不可以放纵。孟子也说："生于忧患，死于安乐。"这也是 告诫人民不要耽于安乐，尤其是过分的安乐，没有节制。

61. Comfort and happiness, though everyone likes them, are also something everyone must moderate. Happiness should not be excessive, nor should desires be indulged. Mencius also said, "Born in distress, die in comfort." This is also a warning to the people not to indulge in comfort, especially excessive comfort, without any moderation.

62. 世界上最有价值的东西是什么？黄金？珠宝？美玉？这些东西在世人眼里都很值钱，但是值钱就能够说它们很有价值吗？显然不是。一般来说，我们认为最值钱的东西往往也是最没有价值的，最有价值的东西并没有价钱。就像智慧是绝对无价的，这就是佛常说的颠倒。

62. What is the most valuable thing in the world? Gold? Jewelry? Jade? These things are all considered valuable by people, but can their value be determined solely by their price? Clearly not. Generally speaking, we believe that the most valuable things are often the ones with the least value, and the most valuable things have no price. Just like wisdom is absolutely invaluable, this is what the Buddha often refers to as a reversal.
