The greatest wealth in the world is not an estate,but the true mind and the Buddha nature. 生命的去来，如同薪尽火传，生命的火苗永不停息 生死的转变，如同搬家乔迁，生命的主人仍是一样 Birth and death are like the fire passed from one burning log to another.The fire of life will never cease. The changes in our lives are like moving from one house to another. As the owner of the house,we are unchanged. 要远离「苦聚」，才能获得安乐 要知道「无常」，才能拥有希望 要懂得「无我」，才能融入大众 要明白「空性」，才能真空妙有 要消除「恶业」，才能美善人生 Avoid suffering to gain happiness. Realize impermanence to gain hope.

Taking refuge in the Dharma,save the ambrosial water and set up a waterworks in yourselves. Taking refuge in the Sangha,nurture the flower and fruit of enlightenment and cultivate an orchard in yourselves. 虚空无有定相，而又无所不相，所以能成其宽广 流水居高就下，而又不拘形式，所以能遍泽大地 Having no form,space can fill any void. Having no form,water can nourish any field. 因为世事「无常」，所以文明才得以进步 |
