做人
佛光星雲 ( 1927~ )

做人要像一面鏡子，時刻自我觀照；
做人要像一只皮箱，隨時提放自如；
做人要像一本簿子，不斷記錄功過；
做人要像一枝蠟燭，永遠照亮別人；
做人要像一個時鐘，分秒珍惜生命。

What Kind of Person Should We Be?
Venerable Master Hsing Yun (1927 - , Fo Guang Shan)
English translation: Fo Guang Shan International Translation Center

Like a mirror, reflect upon ourselves.
Like a briefcase, pick up and let go with ease.
Like a notebook, record all our successes and failures.
Like a candle, brighten up others’ lives.
Like a clock, keep track of and cherish every moment.
