Still Mind & Deep Thoughts #2

Venerable Cheng Yen ( Zhengyan)

美满的人生，不在物质，权势，名利及地位，而在人与人之间的关爱与情谊。

A blissful life may not be materialistic and not necessarily possessing power, fame, wealth and status. It depends on care and fraternity between one another.

人生就像走钢索般，如果不认真往前看，却一直往后看，一定会跌下去。

Life is like tightrope walking. If one does not earnestly look forwards but keeps looking back,

he is sure to fall off.

平时对别人好，不是功夫；发生事情还能对别人好，才是真工夫。

Treating others well under normal circumstances is not unusual. Treating others well at difficult times is truly great.

忍让可避免争执，柔和大爱可专祸为福。

Giving way avoids dispute. Gentleness and loving-kindness can turn misfortunes into blessings.

Spiritual cultivation is noble when practicing it. Action

speaks louder than words.

修行贵在身体力行，说一丈，不如行一寸。

要提起就完全提前，要放下就完全放下。

When accepting a responsibility, accept it with full commitment.

When relinquishing , let go completely.

人生几十年的成就，都是由每一天的言行累积而成。所以，要照顾好每一天的言行

Our accomplishments over the years are built upon our words and deeds.

Thus, be discerning over them everyday.

心不散乱就是定。

A concentrated mind is one without discursive thoughts.

打破小我

互相珍惜

互相陪伴

Eliminate ego-self. Cherish and keep company with each other.

结好人缘，一丝都勉强不得，要出于自己内心愿意去做。

Relate well with people . Do it with commitment and spontaneously.
