佛寺楹聯 ─ 重慶縉雲寺

你可知此身不能久住，何必急急忙忙幹些歹事；
我卻曉前身皆已注定，只得清清白白作個好人。

──選自《佛光教科書》

Temple Couplets - Jinyun Temple, Chongqing
English translation: Miao Guang and Sasha Lyapina

To you it should be known this body cannot exist for long,
Why the need of hustle resulting in rather vicious deeds?
And I retreat in knowing all previous incarnations are destined;
Only immaculately cleaning current deeds, makes a noble person.

── from Fo Guang Jiaokeshu (FGS Essential Guide to Buddhism)
