若不善用財富利益世人，便像錦衣夜行暗自驕矜。 One who does not use his wealth to benefit others is analogous to one who is all dressed up in complete darkness where no one can see him -- it is vain and foolish. - Master Sheng Yen

 

感恩是終生受用的福報，懷恨乃永世糾纏的魔障。Harboring gratitude will nurture blessings that you can use all your life, harboring hatred will create obstructions that follow you. - Master Sheng Yen

 

5a 知恩報恩是飲水思源，恩情糾結會相互傷害。Be grateful to and repay the kindness of others. Avoid emotional entanglement that causes suffering. - Master Sheng Yen

 

69a 父母之恩重於天地，三寶之德多過恆沙。 The kindness of one's parents is greater than heaven and earth; the virtues of the Three Jewels are greater than the countless grains of sand in the Ganges. - Master Sheng Yen

 

105a 人生在世，當備四得：生得其所，老得其福，病得健康，死得其時，萬千幸福在其中矣。 There are four conditions for a good life: born at the right place, blessed at old age, maintaining a healthy mind in sickness, and death at the right time. This would truly be a life of bliss. - Master Sheng Yen

 

108a 珍惜生命，為自己加油。 Cherish one's life and always cheer oneself on. - Master Sheng Yen 10

 

106a 富貴未必只三代，賢哲未必生於寒門；富貴當積德，寒門須勤勉. The wealthy shall cultivate blessings; the poor shall be diligent. Any household that follows these principles will find itself blessed with great wealth and great characters. - Master Sheng Yen

 

108a 行善沒有條件。 Doing good is without condition. - Master Sheng Yen
