感動是一時的，感恩是一世的；

榮耀是一時的，影響是一世的；

受戒是一時的，受持是一世的；

委屈是一時的，成就是一世的。

Encouragement is fleeting.

Thanks for encouragement lasts for life.

Homage is fleeting.

Influence derived from homage lasts for life.

A precepts retreat soon is over.

Observing precepts is for life.

Humiliation is fleeting.

Triumph overcoming humiliation is for life.
