把心情放輕鬆，生病時還是一樣地生活，一樣地做該做的事，就能病得很健康。 Relax when you are sick, carry on and do what you must do. This is a healthy way to handle sickness. - Master Sheng Yen

 

32a 人生不可能一帆風順，身體難免有病痛，工作難免受阻礙，自然環境難免起災害；只要心安，就有平安。It is impossible to have a carefree life; our bodies may experience sickness and pain, our work may be troublesome, the environment may be beset with calamity. But if our mind is at peace, then we will be at peace. - Master Sheng Yen

 

31a 把不如意的事當成是有意思的體驗，就會有不同的收穫。Take adversity as something interesting, you will harvest a very different crop. - Master Sheng Yen

 

30a 把生病當成是一種體驗，也就不苦。 【聖嚴法師 108 自在語】(第四集) Take your illness as an experience. Then it will not be suffering. - Master Sheng Yen

 

病不一定苦，窮不一定苦，勞動不一定苦，心苦才是真正的苦。Sickness need not be a source of suffering; the same is true for poverty and physical labor. But when the mind is distressed, that is true suffering. Master Sheng Yen

 

28a 人生的苦與樂，往往來自心的體驗。若能把人生的苦樂，當成是增長慈悲心和智慧心的過程，就是大自在人。The suffering and joy you feel comes from the mind's perception. If you take all of life's favorable and adverse experiences as a process to develop wisdom and compassion, then that you are free. Master Sheng Yen
