95a 超越了自私自利、利害得失的自我中心，就能讓心胸開闊、包容心增加，得失心也就減少了。If you can transcend selfish and self-serving attitudes, along with thoughts of your own gain and loss, then your heart will truly be open and receptive. Concerns for your own gain and loss will also decrease. - Master Sheng Yen

 

94a 自我中心原是一種生命的動力，不見得是壞事，但是如果自我中心太強，經常自以為是、貪得無厭、傲慢或自卑，自己是快樂不起來的。 Self-centeredness is a fundamental factor for survival; from this perspective, it is not necessarily bad. However, if a person's self-centeredness is too strong, always feeling that one is right, with an insatiable desire for gain, or feeling arrogant or self-disparaged, then it will be very difficult to be happy. - Master Sheng Yen

 

衝突的產生，往往是因為過度強調自我中心。Conflicts usually come from an over-assertion of personal views. - Master Sheng Yen

 

92a 人之所以自私自利，貪得無厭，是因為缺乏安全感。Those who are selfish, self-serving, and insatiable act this way due to feelings of insecurity. - Master Sheng Yen

 

91a 環境是我們的鏡子，發現自己的言行舉止讓他人不舒服、驚訝，或者不以為然，要馬上反省、懺悔、改進。 Let others be your mirror. If your words or actions discomfit, shock, or cause concern to others, immediately reflect on your behavior, express remorse, and improve. - Master Sheng Yen

 

得理讓三分，理直氣要柔。 Even if you're right, don't be harsh to others. Express correct views gently. - Master Sheng Yen

 

89a 察覺自己情緒起伏、不穩定時，要馬上回到呼吸。體驗呼吸、感覺呼吸，就能漸漸安穩下來。Become aware of your breathing the moment you feel agitated or emotional. Experience and feel your breath and you will soon become calm. - Master Sheng Yen
