即使自己不快樂，也不要打擾別人的幸福；
即使自己再失敗，也不要懈怠。世事無常，
懂得堅持，即使失敗了，相信經過努力，也會改變。
Even if you are unhappy, do not disrupt the happiness of others.
Even if you experience failure, do not slacken.Everything in the world
is impermanent and even though you have failed, things would
change if you are persistent and make relentless effort。
34.
未來少預想，儘量別假設，看到當下最重要。
《金剛經》說“過去不可得，現在不可得，未來不可得”，
過去的讓它過去，未來的還在修行當中，現在把握住，就擁有當下的法喜。
Do not attempt to predict or make assumptions about the future;it is
most important to look at the present.The Diamond Sutra states that
‘The past is unattainable, the present is unattainable, the future is unattainable’.
Let bygones be bygones.The future is still in the process of cultivation.
Take good hold of the present and you will enjoy Dharma bliss now。
35.
很多人的心永遠自閉，它像一扇門，經常把自己的心門關上，
不願意跟人交談，不願意和別人接觸，就會自閉。
當知道心門關上的時候，要學會打開；
當自閉的時候，要學會解脫。
Many people’s hearts are
forever closed, like rooms with locked
doors.Unwilling to engage with others, they
become withdrawn.When you know the door to your
heart is closed, learn to open it and liberate yourself。
36.
一切都是因果，這個世界沒有無緣無故的愛，也沒有無緣
無故的恨。學佛之後才會付出，學佛之後才會無緣大慈。
Everything is a result of karma.In this world, love and
hate do not arise without reason.Having learnt Buddhism,
we learn to give and to be compassionate to all。
37.
學佛做人，孝養父母，不去埋怨，隨心隨緣，
慈悲行善。只要有慈悲心的人，註定一生會改變。
As Buddhist practitioners, we should care for and
repay the kindness of our parents without complaint.
Practise kindness and compassion in accordance with karmic conditions.
If we have compassion, our lives will certainly be transformed for the better。
38.
佛法能解決現代人生的困難，佛法不是
過去的歷史，而是解決我們現在人生煩惱的金鑰匙。
The Dharma is capable of solving the problems of modern life.
The Dharma is not history, but the key to solving life’s issues and worries。
39.
學佛要懂得什麼叫善。
能夠用心去幫助別人，那就叫善。
As we practise Buddhism, it is essential
that we know what kindness is.Kindness
is about helping others with all of your heart。
40.
按照因果法則，因緣成熟是一定的。
怎樣能夠讓自己在這個因緣果報當中不受牽連？
最好就是在“因”上多下功夫。
According to the law of cause and effect,
karmic retribution is certain when it ripens.How
then do we extricate ourselves from this karmic cycle?
The best solution is to exert effort on the ‘cause’。
