88 誘以名利權位不動心，陷於千軍萬馬無所懼。When one is not tempted by money, power and fame, one has nothing to fear even when facing an army. - Master Sheng Yen

 

87 放下不等放棄，是為脫困，是為提起； 要能放下才能提起，提放自如是自在人。Letting go is not giving up, rather it helps one take on challenges. One cannot take on anything without first letting go. One who can take on and let go of anything in peace is truly free. - Master Sheng Yen

 

86 一鉢乞食千家飯，孤僧杖竹萬里遊； 隨緣應化莫擁有，緣畢放身撒兩手。 Carrying a bowl filled with alms from a thousand households, I am a lone monk with a bamboo cane who has travelled ten thousand miles; knowing that all comes and goes according to causes and conditions, when causes and conditions dissipate I let go of what's in hand. M - aster Sheng Yen

 

85 朝山禮拜來修行，祈福消災願易成； 口唱耳聽心恭敬，三步一拜向前行； 身心舒暢好感應，業消障除福慧增。Go on a pilgrimage to improve your practice, prayers will be answered and vows will be fulfilled; be respectful, listen intently and sing wholeheartedly, prostrate yourself after every three steps; your body and mind will feel refreshed, karmic obstructions will be removed while blessings and wisdom increase. - Master Sheng Yen

 

常念觀音菩薩，心安就有平安。 Recite often the name of Guan Yin, Bodhisattva Avalokitesavara, and you will find your way to a peaceful mind, a peaceful life. - Master Sheng Yen

 

83 青山綠水廣長舌，鳥語花香說妙法。The green mountains and bubbling streams, the chirping birds and fragrant flowers -- everything around you can be an eloquent Dharma teacher if you know where to look. Master Sheng Yen

 

漫天紅塵心勿染，遍地荊棘杖竹行。 Do not be corrupted by worldly vexations that surround one like dust, do not be deterred by a path beset with difficulties. - Master Sheng Yen
