「无常」,因此明天可以会更好

「无我」,因此未来可能会更大

Impermanence makes tomorrow a better day.

Non-self brings hope to our future.
 

花的美丽,要将美丽的善心散满人间

花的芬芳,要将芬芳的爱心传播社会

花的清净,要将清净的真心供养十方

花的彩色,要将彩色的好心与人结缘

Like the beauty of a flower,spread the beauty of your heart to everyone.

Like the fragrance of a flower,spread the fragrance of your love to everyone.

Like the purity of a flower,offer the purity of your heart to everyone.

Like the color of the flower,make good affinity with your good heart.
 

有佛光普照之地,即是佛光净土

有法水常流之处,即是法性净土

有僧伽加被之田,即是福德净土

Where the Buddha's teaching shines,there is the pureland of Buddha's light.

Where the Dharma water flows,there is the pureland of Dharma nature.

Where the Sangha's blessing is,there is the pureland of fortune and virtue.
 

时间刹那,贯穿了去来三世

空间极微,包容了大千宇宙

Our past,present,and future lives can be seen in a single moment.

The whole universe is present in a tiny space.
 

天灾人祸是共业所感召,要消除灾难,必先消除自己的罪业

身心疾苦是烦恼所造成,要消除病苦,必先净化自己的身心

Natural and man-made disasters originate in the collective karma.To banish them,we must first purge our bad karma.

Physical and mental illness originates in defilement.To banish them,we must first purify our bodies and minds.
 

触目皆缘,无非人生机遇

信手拈来,无非佛法妙谛

What we misconstrue as luck is causes and conditions.

What we misconstrue as luck is explained by the Buddha's teachings.
 

「行善」是「教化」之初阶

「教化」是「行善」之目标

The pupil must first learn how to be good.

The teacher must first teach how to be good.
 

「平等的主张」,可以消弭对人间的不公平

「人本的思想」,可以唤醒对生命的不重视

「环保的观念」,可以改善对生态的不平衡

「自然的缘起」,可以化导对行事的不合理

Egalitarianism shatters the world's inequality.

Humanism awakens us to the value of life.

Ecology restores the damaged environment.

Dependent origination leads to rational actions.
 

信仰佛教的真理很好

明白因果的道理更好

通晓平等的道理很好

奉行缘起的法则更好

It is good to believe in the Buddhist truth;it is better to realize the law of causality.

It is good to understand the essence of equality;it is better to follow the principle of dependent origination.
 

感谢因缘,因缘能成就一切

随顺因缘,因缘能引导自然

Be grateful to causes and conditions that help you achieve everything.

Follow causes and conditions that lead to natural results.
 

道德,是人类最珍贵的品质

般若,是人生最真实的宝藏

Morality is our most precious possession.

prajna is our greatest treasure.
 

可以不信佛祖,但不能不信因果

可以不信佛教,但不能没有慈悲

You don't have to believe in the Buddhea,but you must believe in the law of causality.

You can do without Buddhism,but not without compassion.
 

开发心中的众生,就能人我一体,无怨无悔

开发心中的真理,就是智慧如海,辩才无碍

开发心中的世界,就能广大无边,法界一如

开发心中的欢喜,就能利益众生,永不退转

Let your mind embrace sentient beings without discrimination,and act in a manner that is perfectly willing.

Let your mind grow into deep wisdom and eloquence.

Let your mind encompass the whole dharma-dhatu.

Let your mind cultivate happiness for the benefit of all sentient beings everywhere.
 

面对死亡,要有如游子回家的欢喜

面对死亡,要有如囚犯释放的自由

面对死亡,要有如落叶归根的自然

面对死亡,要有如空山圆月的明净

Facing death,be happy like a wanderer returning home.

Facing death,be free like a prisoner released.

Facing death,be natural like a fallen leaf.

Facing death,be pure like the full moon.
 

宰杀猪羊的屠夫,因放下屠刀,立地成佛

恶贯满盈的魔鬼,因丢弃利刃,成为圣贤

A butcher can become a Buddha after laying down the knife.

A demon can become a sage after laying down the sword.
 

正念如盾牌,可以抵御强敌,何卫自身

正见是盔甲,可以抵挡诱惑,远离三毒

Right mindfulness is a shield that protects us from our enemies.

Right understanding is an armor that shields us from temptation and three poisons:greed,hatred,and ignorance.
 

慈悲是人类情感净化的善美境界

智慧是菩萨理性缘起的真如显现

Compassion is pure kindness.

Wisdom means knowing the truth of dependent origination.
 

花儿吐露芬芳,我们觉得赏心悦目,因为它是「活」的

树梢随风轻摇,我们觉得生意盎然,因为它是「活」的 (发布者: 欢迎投稿,网站:无量光佛教网讨论请进入:佛教论坛)
