法句经：第 116 偈

行善要趁早，並且要制止心，不要去作惡，若遲疑，則心易於造作惡行。

Dhammapada: 116 th Verse

Hasten to do good; Restrain your mind from evil. He who is slow in doing good, his mind delights in evil.

法句经：第 177 偈

慳吝者無法升天，愚癡的人不讚嘆布施；智者時時隨喜，處處安樂。

Dhammapada: 177 th Verse

Indeed, misers do not go to the abode of the devas (gods); fools do not praise charity; but the wise rejoice in charity and so gain happiness in the life hereafter.

警悟语

明日复明日，明日何其多？

日日待明日，万事成磋跎。

法句经：第 106 偈

與其百年間每月供養成千上百的祭祀，不如頃刻之間供養修行的人，如是供養，勝過百年的祭祀。

Dhammapada: 106 th Verse

Month after month for a hundred years, one may make offerings (to ordinary people) to the value of a thousand Kahapanas; yet if, only for a moment one pays homage to a bhikkhu who has practised Insight Development, this homage is, indeed, better than a hundred years of making offerings (to ordinary people).

法句经：第 107 偈

在林中火祭百年，不如頃刻之間供養修行的人，如是供養，勝過百年的火祭。

Dhammapada: 107 th Verse

For a hundred years, a man may tend the sacred fire in the forest: yet if, only for a moment, one pays homage to a bhikkhu who has practised Insight Development, this homage is, indeed, better than a hundred years of making sacrifices (in fire-worship).

法句经：第 108 偈

世間人為追求功德，而在節慶時布捨與供養，所得到的功德，不如禮敬聖者的四分之一。

Dhammapada: 108 th Verse

In this world, one may make sacrificial offerings, great and small, all the year round, in order to gain merit; all these offerings are not worth a quarter of the merit gained by worshipping the Noble Ones (Ariyas) who walk the right path.
