自我牺牲,才能跟人合作

To unite, compromise.

To work with others, be flexible.

用容颜表达欢喜

用双肩担当责任

用微笑美化人生

用胸怀包容一切

Show happiness with your expression.

Bear responsibilities with your shoulders.

Make a better life with your smile.

Embrace the world with your heart.

在发怒的时候有慈悲的心肠

在慈悲的时候有发怒的认真

在拥有的时候有喜舍的个性

在喜舍的时候有拥有的感受

When you are angry, also be compassionate.

When you are compassionate,also be serious.

When you own something, you can enjoy giving.

When you practice joyful giving, you can feel you own something.

若能以“牛马”精神服务大众,必为大家尊敬

若能以“龙象”姿态成就事业,必为社会中坚

If we serve others like cattle or horses, we will be respected.

If we succeed in business like the dragon or elephant, we can be society's elite.

面对苦恼时,不要伤心流泪,要以悲愤为力量

面对委屈时,不要叹息失望,要以忍耐为担当

面对诱惑 时,不要虚荣迷茫,要以禅定为舟航

面对荣耀时,不要患得患失,要以克制为良方

Facing trouble,don't be sad and weep, but transform sorrow to strength.

Facing grievance,don't sigh and be disappointed, but shoulder it with patience.

Facing temptation, don't be lost, but sail on with meditation, and mindfulness.

Facing honor, don't calculate gain or loss, but be restrained.
