Reference Translation of Group Exercise 4 -- Aphorism

1. 人生有煩惱,皆源貪、瞋、癡。

All worries in life are rooted in “greed,” “anger,” and “addiction.”

2. 有智慧的人能捨,能「捨」就能「得」,得到無限的快樂。

A wise person is able to let things go. To let things go is actually to receive, to receive lasting happiness.

3. 有所求的愛,是無法永存的。能永存的,是那份無形、無染且無求的愛。

A love with conditions (strings) attached will never last. Only pure, formless, and unconditional love will last forever.

4. 美滿的人生,不在物質、權勢、名利及地位,而在人與人之間的關愛與情誼。

A happy life is not based on material objects, fame, fortune and power, but on true friendship and care for each other.
