一切贤愚好丑要包容得

Don't be too reproachful in your practice and cultivation:tolerate the impure and unclean.

Don't be judgmental in handling affairs:you have to put up with all sorts of people.
 

见人成就不要忌妒

见人发心应当随喜

见人有难不可旁观

见人沉沦要能提携

Don't envy.

Praise good deeds.

Offer a hand to people in trouble.

Help the disadvantaged.
 

人要知苦恼

才会本份不妄求

人要知惭愧

才会谦虚不自大

Know your demerits and what should be improved,so as not to ask for more than you deserve.

Let conscience guard you from arrogance.
 

被人等待固然是一种残忍的行为

学习等待却也是一种至高的艺术

It is hard to be kept waiting,but it is an art to wait patiently.
