檢查「心」
佛光星雲 ( 1927~ )

榮耀來到時,要「檢查自己的心」,
否則我慢的高牆會隔絕自己的視野;
煩惱臨頭時,要「檢查自己的心」,
否則瞋怒的火燄會焚毀自己的功德;
外境紛亂時,要「檢查自己的心」,
否則貪欲的洪流會淹沒自己的意志;
得失憂患時,要「檢查自己的心」,
否則疑嫉的邪風會吹垮自己的信心。

Examine Your Mind
Venerable Master Hsing Yun (1927 - , Fo Guang Shan)
English translation: Man Ho

When honor comes, examine your mind,
    lest a wall of arrogance block your view.
When trouble comes, examine your mind,
    lest the fire of hatred consume your merits.
When your world is in chaos, examine your mind,
    lest the torrent of worry drown your will.
When you are worried about gain and loss,
    examine your mind,
    lest the winds of suspicion and jealousy
    blast your confidence.

── from The Everlasting Light
