• 日有升沉起落 故有晚霞余映 月有阴晴圆缺 故有皓月当空 人有悲欢离合 故有聚散情缘 世有苦空无常 故有真理示现(日有升沉起落 故有晚霞餘映 月有陰晴圓缺 故有皓月當空 人有悲歡離合 故有聚散情緣 世有苦空無常 故有真理示現) If the sun didn't rise and set, the afterglow of twilight would not be. If the moon didn't wax and wane, we may forget it hangs brightly in the sky. If there were no sorrows of parting and joys of union, we would forget to cherish our time together. Without suffering, emptiness, and impermanence, we would not be aware of Truth.
• 静地禅坐颐养身心 海边散步开阔胸怀 树下小憩清凉自在 道路行走注意安全 居家团聚天伦之乐 月下沉思反省改过 心中有佛明心见性 人间修行与人为善(靜地禪坐頤養身心 海邊散步開闊胸懷 樹下小憩清涼自在 道路行走注意安全 居家團聚天倫之樂 月下沉思反省改過 心中有佛明心見性 人間修行與人為善) Nurture the body and mind in silent meditation. Broaden your mind by taking strolls along the beach. Stay calm and at peace when resting under trees. Be careful and safe when crossing roads. Enjoy time together with family at home. Reflect in the moonlight to amend your mistakes. Be mindful of the Buddha to discover your true nature. The cultivation of life is to be kind to others.
