Jing Si Aphorisms . 静思语（二十）

When afflictions are not eliminated, our wisdom cannot arise.
When blessings are not sown, how can we hope to be blessed?

If we have the will to do something; we need not fear,
for with conviction; time can be found, and strength will surely come.

We must carry out our tasks according to principles,
and not let our principles be compromised by our tasks.

Tolerance and accommodation can prevent disputes;
gentleness and great love can transform disasters into blessings.

The key to doing good is not the amount done
but doing whatever should be done.

Speak good words, have good thoughts,
do good deeds, and walk the right path.

The beauty of humanity lies in honesty.
The value of humanity lies in faith.

Jing Si Aphorisms . 静思语（十九）

To regard ourself lightly is prajna (wisdom).
To regard ourself highly is attachment.

A simple, uncomplicated, and non-contentious heart helps us to remain calm and grounded.
Then we will not be easily moved by external influences.

It is through learning from the trials of everyday life and human affairs that wisdom is attained.

Take up good deeds and let go of hard feelings.
In helping others to fulfill their goal, we too gain.

The greatest achievement is to stand up from failure.
