			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went to south China with 2 sisters for about 2 more weeks and when I came back home I got a pps file from a friend, on which there are great compassion and vows.</p>
<p>They come from the most venerable master Sheng Yen, who was the founder of Dharma Drum Mountain and passed away on 9 Feb, at the age of 80. I select 10 of them, which are both in Chinese and English,  to share with other friends here, as I think what Master Sheng Yen said is definately right and practical in life. I wish you would like and keep them!</p>
<ol>
<li>忙而不乱，累而不疲<br />
<strong>Be busy but happy, and tired but joyful</strong></li>
<li>应该忙中有序地赶工作，不要紧张兮兮地抢时间<br />
<strong>Work swiftly in an orderly fashion; never compete with time in a nervous flurry.</strong></li>
<li>人生的起起落落，都是成长的经验<br />
<strong>All the ups and downs of life are nourishing experience for our growth.</strong></li>
<li>山不转路转，路不转人转，人不转心转<br />
<strong>If the mountain won't move, build a road around it. If the road won't turn, change your path. If you are unable to even change your path, just transform your mind.</strong></li>
<li>不用牵挂过去，不必担心未来，踏实于现在，就与过去和未来同在<br />
<strong>There's no need to be concerned about the past or the future. Live fully in the present and you are connected with both the past and the future.</strong></li>
<li>智能，不是知识、不是经验、不是思辨，而是超越自我中心的态度<br />
<strong>Wisdom is not knowledge, nor experience, nor dialectical excellence, but a selfless attitude.</strong></li>
<li>担心，是多余的折磨；用心，是安全的动力<br />
<strong>While worry fuels unnecessary torment, carefulness breeds security.</strong></li>
<li>超越死亡三原则：不要寻死，不要怕死，不要等死<br />
<strong>To transcend the suffering of death, keep to the three principles: never seek death, never fear death, and never wait for death to come.</strong></li>
<li>身是菩提树，心如明镜台<br />
<strong>This body is the Buhdi-tree.  The soul is like a mirror bright.</strong></li>
<li>慈悲没有敌人，智慧没有烦恼<br />
<strong>Devote wholehearted effort without calculating who does or gains more.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Enjoy your Dragon Boat Festival!</p>
