文/古德
向前三步想一想,退後三步思一思;
瞋心起時要思量,熄下怒火最吉祥。
──選自《星雲說偈》
The Most Auspicious
Ancient Verse
English translation: Ven. Miao Guang
Take a moment to ponder
before taking three steps forward;
Take three steps backward,
and then use a moment to think.
Consider the moment when hatred arises;
Most auspicious it is to put out the fire of anger.
