多一分奉獻心，少一點自私自利，就有平安，就會快 樂。 Benefitting others more and lessening selfishness, brings peace, harmony, and happiness. - Master Sheng Yen

 

以厭惡、仇恨心看世界，或讓欲望無止盡地增長，都 與快樂背道而馳。 When we look at the world with hatred, revenge, and insatiable desire, we drive happiness far away. - Master Sheng Yen

 

當我們為他人奉獻時，自己就是在成長，會有一種成 就感；這種成長與成就感交織的喜悅，乃是欣慰的快 樂。 When we offer ourselves to the benefit of others, we grow. We feel a sense of accomplishment. Such feelings bring joy and consolation. - Master Sheng Yen

 

人如果只追求快樂，而不願意負責任，這種快樂並不 持久，而往往成為心理上的負擔。 Pursuing happiness without taking responsibilities produces a happiness that is short-lived and burdensome. - Master Sheng Yen

 

做任何事，一定要抱持積極樂觀的態度，自己快樂， 才能讓他人也快樂。 We have to maintain an enthusiastic and positive attitude in whatever we do. When we are happy, those around us will also be happy. - Master Sheng Yen

 

與人互動，給人空間就是給自己空間。 When we interact with others, giving them space is to give ourselves space. - Master Sheng Yen

 

與人相處，口不出惡言，就是保護他人，也保護自 己。 To refrain from hurtful words is to extend care toward others and ourselves. - Master Sheng Yen
