不論對方是喜歡的人或討厭的人，不管遇到任何開心 或麻煩的事，都要心平氣和地處理事、對待人，這就 是「是非要溫柔」。 Someone we like or dislike, happy or difficult situation – treat everything with calmness and equanimity – this is “treating right and wrong with gentleness.” - Master Sheng Yen

遇到不舒服、不愉快的事要調心，調心是調我們自己 的心，不是調別人的心。 Unpleasant encounters, unhappy situations - we must mend our own minds, not other people’s minds. - Master Sheng Yen

任何狀況下，都要照顧好自己的心，保持內心的平穩 與安定，就是心靈的健康，就是心靈環保。 Take care of your mind, no matter the situation. Keep inner mind calm and peaceful. This is spiritual health; this is protecting the spiritual environment. - Master Sheng Yen

生氣，可能是身體上、觀念上或其他因素引起的煩惱 ，不一定代表修養不好。如果能夠向內心觀照，用智 慧來化解煩惱，也就不會自害害人了。 Anger may stem from the body, perception, or many other causes. It's not necessarily an indication of poor cultivation. If you can look within, dissolve your anger, you will harm neither yourself nor others. - Master Sheng Yen

不管高興或痛苦，只要是因為他人的評斷，而使我們 的心受牽動、被影響，就是沒有好好保護我們的心， 沒有做好心靈環保。 If other people's praise or criticism affects you–whether it makes you happy or sad–it means that you have neglected to take care of mind and spirit. - Master Sheng Yen

心是我們的老師，我們的心隨時隨地與當下所做的 事、所處的環境合而為一，就是在淨土之中。 The mind is our teacher. We are in The Pure Land when our mind is unified with whatever we do, wherever we are, at all times, in all places. - Master Sheng Yen

環境是我們的鏡子，發現自己的言行舉止讓他人不舒 服、驚訝，或者不以為然，要馬上反省、懺悔、改 進。 Let others be your mirror. If your words or actions discomfit, shock, or cause concern to others, immediately reflect on your behavior, express remorse, and improve. - Master Sheng Yen
