41 南北東西都很好，行住坐臥無非道； 心中常抱真慚愧，懺悔報恩品最高。 North, south, east, west - all directions are fine. Walking, resting, sitting, sleeping - these are not separate from the Way. Always maintain a mind of humility. Repentance and repayment of kindness are qualities that will keep you walking on the Way. - Master Sheng Yen

 

40 修行人要開誠佈公、真誠相待，不存邪念惡念， 就是所謂的「直心是道場」。 A practitioner should be honest and sincere, and harbor no evil thoughts. This is the meaning of “a straightforward mind is the ground of the Way.” - Master Sheng Yen

 

當煩惱現前，不要對抗， 要用慚愧心、懺悔心、感恩心來消融。When vexations arise, do not contend with them, but extinguish them with a mind of humility, repentance, and gratitude. - Master Sheng Yen
