◎平安人生 Living Life in Peace 55. 生命的意义是为了服务，生活的价值是为了奉献。 The meaning of life lies in serving; the value of life in giving. 56. 人生的目标，是来受报、还愿、发愿的。 The purpose of life is to receive karmic results, fulfill old vows, and make new ones. 57. 人的价值，不在寿命的长短，而在贡献的大小。 Our value depends not on how long we live, but on how much we contribute. 58. 过去已成虚幻，未来尚是梦想，把握现在最重要。 As the past has faded into misty memories, and the future remains a dream unrealized, seizing the present is most important. 59. 不用牵挂过去，不必担心未来，踏实於现在，就与过去和未来同在。 There's no need to be concerned about the past or the future. Live fully in the present, and you are connected with both the past and the future. 60. 智慧，不是知识、不是经验、不是思辨，而是超越自我中心的态度。 Wisdom is not knowledge, nor experience, nor dialectical excellence, but a selfless attitude. 61. 积极人生，谦虚满分；自我愈大，不安愈多。 A positive life pivots on modesty; the bigger the ego, the greater the insecurity. 62. 上等人安心於道，中等人安心於事，下等人安心於名利物欲。 The noble pursue the path, the average pursue their duties, and the misguided pursue fame and fortune. 63. 你是有那些身分的人，就应该做那些身分的事。 Live up to your role and status, and fulfill your required duties. 64. 在安定和谐中、把握精彩的今天，走出新鲜的明天。 In peace and harmony, seize the promise of today, and live out a fresh tomorrow. 65. 担心，是多余的折磨；用心，是安全的动力。 While worry fuels unnecessary torment, carefulness breeds security. 66. .财富如流水，布施如挖井。井愈深，水愈多；布施的愈多，财富则愈大。 Wealth is like running water, and giving like digging a well. Just as the deeper the well, the more water it holds, the more you give, the more wealth you have. 67. 面对生活，要有「最好的准备，最坏的打算」。 In life, we must make the best preparations, and be ready for the worst. 68. 只要还有一口呼吸在，就有无限的希望，就是最大的财富。 As long as we still have breath, we have boundless hope, and the breath we have is the greatest wealth. 69. 救苦救难的是菩萨，受苦受难的是大菩萨。 Those who aid and deliver the suffering are bodhisattvas, and those in the throes of suffering are great bodhisattvas. 70. 超越生老病苦三原则：活得快乐、病得健康、老得有希望。 To transcend the sufferings of birth, old age, and sickness, keep to the three principles: live happily, face illness with a healthy mind, and embrace old age with hope. 71. 超越死亡三原则：不要寻死、不要怕死、不要等死。 To transcend the suffering of death, keep to the three principles: never seek death, never fear death, and never wait for death to come. 72. 死亡不是喜事，也不是丧事，而是一件庄严的佛事。 Death is an occasion for neither mourning nor celebrating, but one for solemn Buddhist practice. 73. 每一个孩子，都是帮助父母成长的小菩萨。 Every child is a little bodhisattva that helps the parents grow. 74. 对青少年：要关心不要担心，要诱导不要控制，用商量不用权威。 With adolescents, we should care, but not worry about them; guide, but not control them; and communicate with, but not command them. 75. 爱你的孩子，与其担心，不如祝福吧！ To love your children, rather than worry about them, just give them your blessings! 76. 夫妻是伦理的关系，不是「论理」的关系。 The relationship between a husband and wife is governed by marital ethics, not logic. 77. 现在所得的，是过去所造的，未来所得的，是现在所做的。 What you have results from karmic causes that you created, and what you'll gain hinges on karmic causes that you're creating. 78. 眼光，是你的智慧；运气，是你的福德。 Vision is derived from wisdom; luck, from blessings. 79. 喜爱的就想占有，讨厌的就会排斥，患得患失，烦恼就来了。 To crave your likes but reject your dislikes will plunge you into constant anxiety. Once there, you are prey to vexations. 80. 经常少欲知足的人，才是无虞匮乏的富人。 Those content with few desires will never want. 81. 心不平安是真正的苦，身体的病痛不一定是苦。 Bodily ailments do not necessarily constitute suffering. An unsettled mind does. 82. 明知心不平安是苦事，就赶快以持念「南无观世音菩萨」来安心吧！ To eliminate the suffering induced by an unsettled mind, just start reciting Guanyin's name to restore your inner peace. 83. 现在拥有的，就是最好的。拥有再多也无法满足，就等於是穷人。 What we have now is the best. He who can never be satisfied is a poor man, no matter how much he owns. 84. 不要用压仰来控制情绪，最好用观想、用佛号、用祈祷，来化解情绪。 Don't try to control your negative emotions by suppressing them. Rather, dissolve them through contemplation, reciting the Buddha's name, or praying. -- " 恶念原属妄想,若不觉照,便成真恶, 　倘能觉照,则妄想灭而真心现矣."-- 印光大师文钞菁华录　 --
