Words of Buddha - 10 verses
1.
生活富裕,但不瞻养青春己逝的年迈父母,
这是一个人遭受堕落的原因。
Though being well-to-do, not to support one’s father and mother
who are old and past their youth – this is a cause of one's downfall.

2.  
不应该追寻过去,不应该渴望未来。
过去的已消失过去,而将来的还有待来临。
The past should not be followed after and the future not desired.
What is past is dead and gone, and the future is yet to come.

3.  
布施福田长, 克制缚怨恨。
By giving, merit grows; By restraint, hatred’s checked. 

4. 
被怨恨淹没的人,无法认识善、无法看清事物真相。
One who is overwhelmed with hate cannot know the good and cannot see things as they are.

5.  
你必须先正确的修好自己,然后才尝试指导他人。
如此做,智者将不遭受批评。
One should first establish oneself in what is proper
and only then try to instruct others. Doing this, the wise one will not be criticised.

6
别视察他人之过失,别视察他人已做和未做的事。
应该视察自己,已做与未做的。
Look not to the faults of others, nor to their omissions and commissions. 
But rather look to your own acts, to what you have done and left undone.

7
与聪明睿智、学问渊博的善人交往,
通达正法,了知事义,付之实践,将获得幸福。
Associate with a good man who is wise and learned.
Understand the meaning of what one has learned, and practise accordingly. One who has Dhamma-experience attains supreme happiness.

8
热爱圣贤所宣示之正法的人,他们的言语、思想和行为是无可匹比。
Those who are devoted to the Dhamma made known by the Noble Ones are unsurpassed in speech, thought and action.

9
坚定守护己心,精勤修法持戒,以致舍离生死,脱离无边苦海。
With firm resolve, guard your own mind! 
Who so untiringly pursues the Dhamma and the Discipline 
shall go beyond the round of births and make an end of suffering.

10
有着金刚链般之专注力,恶念不会生起、心亦不会受干扰。
故,让它做为你的装饰。
With the jewelled necklace of concentration, wrong thoughts cannot arise, nor can the mind be distracted. So let this be your adornment.
