• 一时与长久 岁月是流转的 文化是千秋的 花开是时节的 青山是常在的 劝导是有限的 守戒是不变的 感受是短暂的 相处是长远的 伤痛是当下的 欢喜是持久的 委屈是暂时的 真相是恒常的 功名是一时的 生命是一世的 生死是瞬间的 愿力是无穷的 妄念是刹那的 佛性是不灭的 因缘是变化的 悟道是永恒的(一時與長久 歲月是流轉的 文化是千秋的 花開是時節的 青山是常在的 勸導是有限的 守戒是不變的 感受是短暫的 相處是長遠的 傷痛是當下的 歡喜是持久的 委屈是暫時的 真相是恆常的 功名是一時的 生命是一世的 生死是瞬間的 願力是無窮的 妄念是剎那的 佛性是不滅的 因緣是變化的 悟道是永恆的) Momentary vs Everlasting Age is fleeting, but culture is timeless. Flowers are seasonal, but mountains are abiding. Counseling is limited, but discipline is sustainable. Feelings are momentary, but relationships are for life. Pain is transient, but joy is perpetual. Misunderstanding is temporary, but Truth is eternal. Fame and gain are short-lived, but life is everlasting. Birth and death are ephemeral, but vows are abiding. Delusion is swift, but Buddha-nature is imperishable. Causes and conditions are changing, but enlightenment is forever.

Earth, water, wind, and fire are elements of the universe. Rivers and oceans are vigors of the Earth. Gossip and conflicts are phenomena of society.

Good and bad karmic retributions are the rules of cause and effect. Wealth and poverty are blessings of life. Happiness and good fortune are the basic goals in life. Success and fame are the results of hard work and dedication. Hatred and jealousy are the poisons of emotion. Loyalty, dutifulness, benevolence, and kindness are the pillars of ethics. Formation, abiding, deterioration, and extinction are impermanence. Propriety, justice, honesty, and honor are the basis of a human being. Compassion, wisdom, vow, and practice are the essence of attainment. Patience and precepts are ways of self-discipline. Faith, understanding, practice, and realization are steps of cultivation. Shame and repentance are the keys of mind-purification. Kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity are the spirits of a bodhisattva.

Is it tall or far? The mind is a bright mirror. Is the reflection you or others? Conditions are terms. Are they sufficient or not? Temples are schools. Do you or do you not learn? Food is like medicine. Is it good for you or not? The body is an object. Is it functioning or not? Life is a candle in the wind. Is it safe or is it in danger? Human mind is a monkey or horse. Is it restless or is it peaceful? Desire is an abyss. Can you go down there or not? Arrogance is a lofty mountain. You may as well stay away!
