Jing Si Aphorism - Inspirational Wisdom by Dharma Master Cheng Yen

Transient though life may be,
one's contribution will live on;
as we love knows no boundaries,
its spirit will always remain.

***

A person with a generous heart and compassion for all beings leads the most blessed life.

***

To willingly undergo hardship for sake of helping others is compassion.

***

Those who have great wisdom must all the more be humble and unassuming,
just like the rice stalk that bows under the weight of ripe grain.

***

Only those who respect themselves have the courage to be humble.
