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

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

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

慈悲是具有理智的感情，智慧是富有彈性的理智。 Compassion is judicious affection. Wisdom is flexible intelligence. - Master Sheng Yen

佛在心中，佛在口中，佛在我們的日常生活中。Buddha in mind, speech, and daily life. - Master Sheng Yen

以退為進、以默為辯、以奉獻他人為成就自己的最佳 方法。 Retreat to advance; be silent to debate. These are the best methods to foster self development and to help others. - Master Sheng Yen

心不隨境，是禪定的工夫；心不離境，是智慧的作 用。 When the mind is undisturbed by circumstances, that is the result of meditative concentration. When the mind is not separate from circumstances, that is the function of wisdom. - Master Sheng Yen
