煩惱自尋

今天你看倒甚麽
有否被見到煩惱
今天你聽倒甚麽
有否被聽到激氣
最好甚麼都不理
讓內心清靜一下
所見所聞未必真
何必煩惱去自尋

You are creating your own worries

Does what you have seen cause you any anxiety? Does what you have heard make you angry? The best thing to do is to ignore what you have seen or heard. Let yourself have a peace of mind. After all what you’ve seen or heard may not necessarily be right. Why create worries for yourself?

平息煩惱

謹記著煩惱自尋
如果能夠修行到
看到的只是看到
聽到的只是聽到
不產生好惡反應
內心就不有執著
也不會患得患失
煩惱平息不纏身

How to stop worrying

Remember troubles don’t exist; it is you who look for troubles. If you can train yourself to avoid having any positive or negative opinion of the things you saw, or the things you heard, then, you won’t be biased in your thinking, and your mind will be at peace. You will not feel troubled any more.
