19 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

 

18 擔心、憂心沒有用，留心、用心卻是需要的。 Being anxious and worrisome is useless. Being mindful and focused is a must. - Master Sheng Yen

 

17 後悔是煩惱，懺悔是修行。 Regret is a kind of emotional affliction. Repentance is a practice. - Master Sheng Yen

 

16 有信心，有希望，就能有未來。 When we have faith and hope, we have a future.- Master Sheng Yen

 

15 「放下」不等於「放棄」。「放下」是不想過去、不 想未來，心不執著；「放棄」是什麼都不相信，完全 失去信心和勇氣。 Letting go does not mean giving up. Letting go means not thinking of the past, not thinking of the future, a mind that lets go. Giving up means believing in nothing, abandoning all faith and courage. - Master Sheng Yen

 

14 如果人人向自然環境求滿足，向社會環境求公正，向 他人求平等，儘管會有若干程度的效果，但是終究無 法真正化解衝突。 People may seek satisfaction by exploiting the environment, they may seek social justice, they may seek social equality, and indeed they may enjoy some degree of success in these endeavors, but ultimately they will fail to truly bring conflict to an end. - Master Sheng Yen

 

13 自在的人生，並不是沒有挫折，而是在有挫折的狀況 下，仍能保持身心平穩，從容以對。 Freedom is not life without obstacles; rather it is the ability to be calm and stable in body and mind when confronting obstacles. - Master Sheng Yen
