14a 財富要取之有道，除了與生俱來的福報，還要加上後天的努力，並且廣結人緣。 There is a proper way to acquire wealth. In addition to our own good fortune accumulated from past lives, we have to be diligent this life and broadly establish affinities with others. - Master Sheng Yen

 

13a 賺錢不自私，有錢大家賺；大家有錢賺，才是最可靠的財富。Earn money without selfishness and allow everyone to earn money. When everyone has the opportunity to earn wealth, this is the most reliable kind of wealth. - Master Sheng Yen

 

12a 慈悲，是以平等、無差別、非對立的態度，來看待一切人。 Compassion stems from an attitude of equanimity, nondiscrimination, and non-opposition toward all people. - Master Sheng Yen

 

11a 智慧，是在任何狀況下，心平氣和地把自己歸零，處理一切事。Wisdom is the ability to respond to every situation, under all circumstances, with clarity and stability, as if one's own self is reduced to zero. - Master Sheng Yen

 

10a 問題若能解決，很好！如果不能解決或者留下後遺症，也不必罣礙，只要盡人事，就不必怨天尤人。 Resolution of a problem is good. If it cannot be resolved, or if there are negative repercussions, do not be hindered. As long as we have done our best there is no need for blame. - Master Sheng Yen

 

9a 慈悲待人，是幫助他、寬恕他、包容他、感動他；智慧對事，是面對它、接受它、處理它、放下它。 Compassion means to help, forgive, accept, and positively influence others. Wisdom in responding to difficult situations means the ability to face, accept, respond, and let go. - Master Sheng Yen

 

人生處世，有人「混世」，有人「戀世」。混世，是渾渾噩噩度日，甚至造成世界的混亂；戀世，是對世 間依戀不捨，執著與自己相關的一切。 In Buddhism, to "live in the world" does not mean to merely "be in the world" or to "attach to the world." To merely be in the world can mean to live without any purpose or to live in confusion, creating more problems for the world. To attach to the world can mean to depend on or be concerned with those things that are only relevant to you. - Master Sheng Yen
