Aphorism --- By The Supreme Master Ching Hai
忍辱是什麼呢？就是不管怎麼樣，都認清是自己的因果，不是別人的錯。
*What is meant by "enduring insults"? It means to be able to see clearly, in whatever situation, that it is our own karma, and not other's fault.
一個人的好壞是看他的目的和他的心，不是看他的行動。
*Whether a person is good or bad should only be judged by his purpose and intention, and not his actions.
不要找藉口寵壞自己的身體太多，我們越享受，越產生一種「個人的我」存在的想法，越產生這種概念，我們越墮落生死輪迴。
*Do not find excuses to spoil your physical body. The more we indulge ourselves, the more we develop a kind of individual
公理很好，不過愛力才是最好。
*Justice is good, but love is the best.
幫助別人就是幫助自己，所以我們應該時時刻刻淨化意念，送出無條件的愛心和善意，而不求任何回報，這是最好的方法。
*To help others is to help ourselves. We should try to purify our mind at all times, give our love and kindness unconditionally, and not expect anything in return. This is the best way.
我們隨時都要靠自己，真正要坦白、要修行，為了真的要解脫這個苦海，為了要多了解宇宙的情況。
*We should, at all times, rely on ourselves, be truly frank, and practice, for the sake of being liberated from this “sea of misery”, for the sake of enriching our knowledge of the universe.
擁有什麼並不重要，能否知足才重要，任何情況都能滿足，就不會有問題。
*Possession is not important, contentedness is. Be contented in any situation, and problems will be kept away.
我們自己造煩惱，所以每天痛苦，我們把學習的功課變成我們的刑罰，才那麼痛苦。師父教你們一個很簡單脫離苦海的方法─把痛苦的情況變成我們的功課，就像在學校學習一樣。
*We create worries ourselves, that's why we are miserable every day. We turn lessons into punishments, that's why we are so unhappy. Master will show you a simple way to liberated from the sea of misery -- treat miseries as lessons, just like studying at school.
真正尊重自己的人，也很尊重其他的人。他知道自己的價值在那裡，也知道人家的價值在那裡，那種人很好、很自信，但是不自滿。
*He who truly respects himself will also respect others. He knows his own worthiness, just as he does others. This kind of person is fine, very confident, and never complacent.
