Sensual pleasures eat away at our minds.
美色的後面有危險的深淵
金錢的後面有虎狼的魔爪
毒品的後面有毀滅的陷阱
懈怠的後面有失敗的人生
There”s a dangerous abyss in the lure of a beauty.
They are demon”s claws that ensnare you with gold.
There”s a vicious trap in a life of drugs.
There”s moral rot in the life of idleness.
禁得起災難的考驗
才能實現理想
耐得了失敗的挫折
才能成功立業
If you rise above failure,you may yet succeed.
If you withstand disappointment,you will succeed.
人生如行船，無論何時何地
都要張滿信心的風帆
人生如戲場，無論是安是危
都要鼓舞奮發的鬥志
Like sailboats we go,billowing with confidence.
Like soldiers in battle,we persevere under fire.
對人少一點侵犯，多一點愛護則德曰隆
對人少一點迫害，多一點尊重則緣愈廣
對人少一點瞋恨，多一點忍辱則福必增
對人少一點貪戀，多一點隨緣則心自在
Caring without intruding increases our virtue.
Respecting without annoying makes good affinity.
Tolerating without aversion accumulates merits.
Flexibility without attachment frees us from care.
能夠抛棄仇恨的刀劍
自能獲得身心的自在
能夠卸下執著的枷鎖
自能享受清涼的禅悅
Relinquish the sword of hatred,free your body and mind.
Sever the bond of obstinacy,profit from meditation.
當煩惱無耐的時候
要能忍耐而不讓情緒失控
當寂寞無助的時候
要更堅強而不生心生退卻
When powerless and worried,be calm and patient.
When powerless and lonely,be confident and strong.
快樂，是人之所求
但太樂則樂極生悲
憂苦，是人之所厭
但太苦則無以奮志
We seek happiness,but too much of it leads to sorrow.
We fly from suffering because too much of it is dispiriting.
不當看的不看，否則會看出煩惱來
不當聽的不聽，否則會聽出痛苦來
不當問的不問，否則會問出是非來
不當做的不做，否則會做出問題來
Do not see what you should not see;it will trouble you.
Do not hear what you should not hear;it will trouble you.
Do not ask what you should not ask;it will trouble you.
Do not do what you should not do;it will trouble you.
有出息的人
能將不好的事物轉化爲自我奮發的動能
有作爲的人
能將刺耳的語言轉化成慈悲喜舍的音樂
A gifted person gains energy from adversity.
A gifted person turns harsh words into the music of compassion,lovingkindness,joyfulness,and equanimity.
很自重的人
自不會做出自取其辱的事
能尊人的人
自不會說出令人難堪的話
Those who respect themselves do not humiliate themselves.
Those who respect others do not humiliate others.
失敗中可能出現成功的曙光
因此要敗而不餒
成功也可能暗藏失敗的陰影
因此要勝而不驕
Don”t be discouraged by failure;it is the first stage of success.
Don”t boast about success;it masks the shadow of failure.
修身不可貪財、貪愛、貪瞋
爲人不可自大、自怨、自艾
交友不可無信、無義、無恥
處世不可負國、負人、負己
To practice and cultivate,don”t be attached to money,love,or hate.
To get along,don”t be arrogant,whine,or blame yourself.
To make friends,don”t be false,corrupt,or unprincipled.
To carry on in society,don”t be faithless to the nation,the people,or yourself.
有的人值得被人利用，故能成才
有的人堪受被人利用，故能成器
有的人不能被人利用，故難成功
有的人拒絕被人利用，故難成就
Those worthy of being used will be successful.
Those willing to be used will be useful.
Those who cannot be used will hardly be successful.
Those who refuse to be used will hardly be useful.
有志者，自有千方百計
無志者，只有千難萬險
The determined will do everything to succeed.
The irresolute think it”s impossible to achieve anything.
心中不舒服而介意，謂之「氣」
氣生則神傷
胸中不抱殘而奮起，謂之「志」
