90 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

 

89 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

 

88 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

 

87 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

 

86 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

 

85 我們應該常常問自己快樂嗎？真的快樂嗎？快樂，並 不是來自物質條件的刺激，而是內心真正的安定與平 靜。 We should often ask ourselves, "Am I happy?" "Am I truly happy?" Happiness is not some external stimulus, but a genuine sense of wellbeing and serenity - Master Sheng Yen

 

84 肯定這個世界是不完美的，有「及時雨」，也有「暴 風雨」，便不會過份期待完美了。 If we recognize that the world is imperfect, that showers may, but thunderstorms destroy, then we will not anticipate everything to be perfect. - Master Sheng Yen
