*宣化上人開示(Venerable Master Hsuan Hua said)

萬佛城的六大宗旨：
不爭，不貪，不求，不自私，不自利，不妄語。
宣化上人開示：(Venerable Master Hua said:)
用心看，世間萬物皆是智慧之源；希望之光。
(Using the mind to observe, the world is a source of wisdom, a light of hope.)

自滿的人，一定不會有甚麼成就；[人要有若無，實若虛]。
(A person who is content has no ambitions. One should “possess something as if it were nothing, and regard one’s attainments as empty.”)
你想要消災，第一要不生煩惱，第二要不發脾氣，第三要不欺壓旁人。
If you wish disasters to be dispelled, you must first refrain from getting afflicted, second, you must not get angry, and third, you must not oppress others.
[過能改，歸於無。] 不論你有甚麼過錯，你若能改這個過錯，那前途還有光明；如果不能改這個過錯，那你的前途世是黑暗的。
There is a saying, “If you correct your mistake, then it disappears.” Therefore, no matter what kind of fault you have, as long as you can correct these faults, your future is still bright. However, if you fail to change these faults, then your future will be dark.
