星云大师《佛光菜根谭之励志篇》(5)

Storms can destroy our belongings. Cliffs and precipices threaten our safety. Sensual pleasures eat away at our minds. 美色的后面有危险的深渊 金钱的后面有虎狼的魔爪 毒品的后面有毁灭的陷阱 懈怠的后面

Storms can destroy our belongings.

Cliffs and precipices threaten our safety.

Sensual pleasures eat away at our minds.
 

美色的后面有危险的深渊

金钱的后面有虎狼的魔爪

毒品的后面有毁灭的陷阱

懈怠的后面有失败的人生

There's a dangerous abyss in the lure of a beauty.

They are demon's claws that ensnare you with gold.

There's a vicious trap in a life of drugs.

There's moral rot in the life of idleness.
 

禁得起灾难的考验,才能实现理想

耐得了失败的挫折,才能成功立业

If you rise above failure,you may yet succeed.

If you withstand disappointment,you will succeed.
 

人生如行船,无论何时何地,都要张满信心的风帆

人生如戏场,无论是安是危,都要鼓舞奋发的斗志

Like sailboats we go,billowing with confidence.

Like soldiers in battle,we persevere under fire.
 

对人少一点侵犯,多一点爱护则德曰隆

对人少一点迫害,多一点尊重则缘愈广

对人少一点瞋恨,多一点忍辱则福必增

对人少一点贪恋,多一点随缘则心自在

Caring without intruding increases our virtue.

Respecting without annoying makes good affinity.

Tolerating without aversion accumulates merits.

Flexibility without attachment frees us from care.
 

能够抛弃仇恨的刀剑,自能获得身心的自在

能够卸下执着的枷锁,自能享受清凉的禅悦

Relinquish the sword of hatred,free your body and mind.

Sever the bond of obstinacy,profit from meditation.
 

当烦恼无耐的时候,要能忍耐而不让情绪失控

当寂寞无助的时候,要更坚强而不生心生退却

When powerless and worried,be calm and patient.

When powerless and lonely,be confident and strong.
 

快乐,是人之所求,但太乐则乐极生悲

忧苦,是人之所厌,但太苦则无以奋志

We seek happiness,but too much of it leads to sorrow.

We fly from suffering because too much of it is dispiriting.
 

不当看的不看,否则会看出烦恼来

不当听的不听,否则会听出痛苦来

不当问的不问,否则会问出是非来

不当做的不做,否则会做出问题来

Do not see what you should not see;it will trouble you.

Do not hear what you should not hear;it will trouble you.

Do not ask what you should not ask;it will trouble you.

Do not do what you should not do;it will trouble you.
 

有出息的人,能将不好的事物转化为自我奋发的动能

有作为的人,能将刺耳的语言转化成慈悲喜舍的音乐

A gifted person gains energy from adversity.

A gifted person turns harsh words into the music of compassion,lovingkindness,joyfulness,and equanimity.
 

很自重的人,自不会做出自取其辱的事

能尊人的人,自不会说出令人难堪的话

Those who respect themselves do not humiliate themselves.

Those who respect others do not humiliate others.
 

失败中可能出现成功的曙光,因此要败而不馁

成功也可能暗藏失败的阴影,因此要胜而不骄

Don't be discouraged by failure;it is the first stage of success.

Don't boast about success;it masks the shadow of failure.
 

修身不可贪财、贪爱、贪瞋

为人不可自大、自怨、自艾

交友不可无信、无义、无耻;

处世不可负国、负人、负己

To practice and cultivate,don't be attached to money,love,or hate.

To get along,don't be arrogant,whine,or blame yourself.

To make friends,don't be false,corrupt,or unprincipled.

To carry on in society,don't be faithless to the nation,the people,or yourself.
 

有的人值得被人利用,故能成才

有的人堪受被人利用,故能成器

有的人不能被人利用,故难成功

有的人拒绝被人利用,故难成就

Those worthy of being used will be successful.

Those willing to be used will be useful.

Those who cannot be used will hardly be successful.

Those who refuse to be used will hardly be useful.
 

有志者,自有千方百计

无志者,只有千难万险

The determined will do everything to succeed.

The irresolute think it's impossible to achieve anything.
 

心中不舒服而介意,谓之「气」,气生则神伤

胸中不抱残而奋起,谓之「志」,志立则神明

The nuisance anger is the father of misery.

Determination is not turned aside by worry;determination is the mother of brilliance.
 

逢师不学去后悔

遇贤不交别后悔

事亲不孝丧后悔

对主不忠退后悔

If you do not learn from a good teacher,you will regret it.

If you do not make friends with a sage,you will regret it.

If you do not show filial piety,you will regret it when your parents die.

If you are not loyal to your boss,you will regret it when you are fired.
 

见义不为过后悔

见危不救陷后悔

因果不信报后悔

佛道不修死后悔

If you do not have the courage to do what's right,you will regret it always.

If you do not save someone from danger,you will regret 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)
