佔有、奉獻都是愛，但有自利和利人的差別；佔有是 自我貪取的私愛，奉獻是無私喜捨的大愛。 Love is involved in what you own and what you give to others, but the difference between helping yourself and helping others is that one is a self-directed, possessive love; the other is a selfless, joyous, generous love. - Master Sheng Yen

 

利他，是不求果報及回饋的清淨心。 Benefiting others takes a pure mind that seeks neither reward nor return. - Master Sheng Yen

 

自愛愛人，愛一切眾生；自救救人，救一切眾生。 Love yourself, love others, love all sentient beings; liberate yourself, liberate others, liberate all sentient beings. - Master Sheng Yen

 

用奉獻代替爭取，以惜福代替享福。 Contribute rather than compete. Use what you have been given wisely, and don't squander your good fortune. - Master Sheng Yen
