星云法师:佛光菜根谭之宝典篇(3)

You are upright when you are tranquil. You are not anxious when you are upright. You are happy when you are not anxious. 安全是回家唯一的路径 努力是成功唯一的大道 正义是胜利唯一的坦途 真理是解脱唯一

You are upright when you are tranquil.

You are not anxious when you are upright.

You are happy when you are not anxious.
 

安全是回家唯一的路径

努力是成功唯一的大道

正义是胜利唯一的坦途

真理是解脱唯一的慈航

Safety is the only road home.

Hard work is the only road to success.

Virtue is the only road to triumph.

Truth and compassion is the only road to liberation.
 

人世间最美丽的是感动的笑容

宇宙间最宽广的是真理的道路

The most beautiful thing in the world is a smile of gratitude.

The most wonderful thing in the world is the path to truth.
 

一念反躬,便是天理

一念为人,便是天堂

One reflective thought teaches righteousness.

One righteous thought brings you to paradise.
 

表现“真理”的最高境界是“因果”

学习“做人”的最高境界是“圆满”

The law of causality is the central truth.

Compatibility is the essence of getting along.
 

外道不可怕,邪道才可怕

迷信不可怕,邪信才可怕

Don't fear non-Buddhist thinking.

Fear perverted thinking.

Don't fear superstition.

Fear perverted faith.
 

知足如点金石,可使接触的东西变黄金—幸福

感恩如仙女棒,可使所处的境界变境土—快乐

Happiness is the philosopher's stone that turns everything into gold.

Gratitude is the magic wand that turns every place into a pureland.
 

蒸气是雨水之因,有蒸气之因,才有雨水之果

理想是现实之因,有理想之因,才有现实之果

Evaporation is the cause,and rain the effect;rain is the fruit of evapo-ration.

The ideal is the cause,and its realization the effect;realization is the fruit of an ideal.
 

种善因得善果,种恶因得恶果,人是自己的圆丁

存好心得好报,存歹心得歹报,心是自己的主人

Good or bad fruit comes from good or bad causes and conditions;you are your own gardener.

Good or bad karmic justice comes from good or ill will;you are the master of your will.
 

月亮不一定要圆满,残缺也是一种美

人生不一定要拥有,享有也是一份福

Don't wish for a full round moon;deficiency also has beauty.

Don't seek possessions;pleasure without property is wealth.
 

小觉小悟,久而久之,自能大彻大悟

小因小缘,日积月累,自成大因大缘

Small steps to enlightenment reach enlightenment at the end.

Accumulated small causes and conditions find great causes and con-ditions in the end.
 

水,不为外境所动,即能波澜不生

心,不为外境所动,即能坚忍其性

Water is quiet if not stirred by wind.

Mind perseveres if not stirred by distractions.
 

造恶如欠债,欠债当受报

受报如还债,还债即解脱

Doing evil leads to karmic retri-bution.

Karmic retribution pays your debt and leads to liberation.
 

幽默是睿智的禅心,它是自我解嘲,而非取笑别人

诙谐是智慧的言谈,它是自我调侃,而非讽刺别人

Humor is the Ch'an mind of wis-dom that laughs at self,not others.

Humor is the speech of wisdom that mocks self,not others.
 

因果并非命定,认命的人不会进步

业报由于自造,玩命的人不能善终

The law of causality is not destiny;those who yield to destiny cannot progress.

Karmic justice is determined by actions;those who act thoughtlessly cannot earn karmic merit.
 

父母是幼年的偶像

老师是学生的偶像

圣贤是成人的偶像

佛陀是众生的偶像

Parents are models for children.

Teachers are models for students.

Sages are models for grown-ups.

The Buddha is the model for all.
 

只要有根,当春雷惊蛰,就能顶天立地,枝繁茂盛

只要有翼,当秋风吹起,就能展翅上扬,探索碧空

With roots,a tree thrives after a spring rain.

With wings,a bird soars in the autumn wind.
 

只要有德,当时机成熟,就能树立形象,赢得人敬

只要有道,当因缘聚会,就能照破无明,见自本性

With virtue,respect is granted in the ripeness of time.

With t'ao(way),causes and condi-tions help you overcome ignorance to realize your Buddha nature.
 

施舍者,内入见己,外不见人,中不见物,虽粒米之施,当如万种之粟

利人者,望人回报,计己之能,美施之物,虽百亿金银,难比一文之值

There is no merit in giving millions when you wish for a reward.

A grain of rice given without attachment is the same as a thousand bushels.
 

信心如璎珞,可以令人身心庄严

信心如手杖,可以令人行进无忧

信心如宝藏,可以令人获得财富

信心如城池,可以令人安全无虑

Faith is your jewel of body and mind.

Faith is your walking stick.

Faith is your fortune;faith is your treasure.

Faith is your mortar and brick.
 

学道容易入道难

入道容易守道难

守道容易悟道难

悟道容易行道难

Easy to learn the path,harder to find it.

Easy to walk the path,harder to stay on it. (发布者: 欢迎投稿,网站:无量光佛教网讨论请进入:佛教论坛)
