證巖法師 - 靜思語


聽話、說話要完整,
不要只撿前一句、後一句,
合起來剛剛好尖尖地刺進人心。


Be clear and complete when listen.
Do not pick one sentence here,
and another one there, or you may intensely hurt someone by accident.

證巖法師 - 靜思語

愛要濃淡合宜,像清茶淡香;若是太濃,則苦得喝不下。

Love is just like a cup of tea. When properly mixed, it tastes wonderful with its aroma.
If it is too strong, it will be too bitter to drink.
