讓人歡喜_Let Others Be Happy

世間人大多面帶愁苦
緊繃的臉
難得開懷一笑

存心舒解這樣的世間心情
遇事容忍下來　少說幾句
　　自願退幾步
　　割捨一下自己的喜好
讓人開心
使人高興

這樣的存心與作法
不但增添世間的溫馨及和樂
也使行持者
開闊心胸　增長慈懷

最不曉事的
就是糾結成一團
彼此互相增添愁苦
　　不得安寧　無從休憩

Let Others Be Happy　Yutang Lin

Most people in the world carry a worried face
Their countenance so tightened
Seldom revealed a beam of hearty smile

Intended to relieve such worldly sentiments
As matters arose one remained tolerant
　　Refrained from uttering a few more words
　　Voluntarily yielded a few more steps
　　Renounced at once what one liked or preferred
So as to make others happy
And help others lift their spirits

Such intentions and approaches
Not only would foster warmth and harmony in the world
But also will enable the practitioners
To broaden their mind
And cultivate their compassionate sentiments

Most unwise are those
Entangled into one mass
Mutually adding sorrows and suffering to one another
　　No way to have peace
　　No time to rest well
