南海古佛慈悲五十四條訓
前言:三期大開普渡，明師應運倒裝下凡，一佛出世，萬仙護持。 母訓:「先天裡 母不留仙佛神聖，眾菩薩眾仙真俱投凡塵」;「此一次開普渡亙古無有，萬古的真奇緣巧遇此春」，如此因緣，可謂白陽殊機。
南海古佛與娑婆世界南閻眾生，緣份非常，觀音菩薩十二大願，渡不盡苦海眾生，誓不成佛，眾生渡盡方證菩提。觀音大士大悲第一，久遠劫來，成就正法明如來，於今倒駕慈航，悲憫蒼生。古佛因有未盡願，三期白陽，掌理教盤，聞聲救苦，隨機渡化。故曰:『觀音菩薩妙難酬，清淨裝嚴累劫修，三十二應遍塵剎，百千萬劫化閻浮，瓶中甘露時常灑，手持楊柳不計秋，千處祈求千處現，苦海常作渡人舟』。
此訓係發一慈法廣濟道場，二○○八年在台灣、泰國、印尼共有五班的清口班程中，南海古佛慈悲叮囑，訓文言簡意駭，切中時要，藉以調教眾生，應機說法，因材施教。法會因緣各有不同，層次各異，班員宿業習性亦參差有別。然修道辦道，隨緣不變，萬變不離其宗旨，真理教化不因時空而異，仙佛指點迷津，亦具圓音說法，眾生萬類各得其解。我輩同修欣逢法藥，當聞思修，勤培戒定慧，方不負仙佛慈悲無量。
今奉師命，將古佛聖訓五十四條，集結並翻譯流通，廣佈經教。期盼當今白陽修士，能反觀自省，認理實修，提升心性修養，體行身教，以期進退有度，眾緣和諧，誠心敬禱，是所至盼。

not knowledge, nor learning, nor dialectics; it is the transcendence of
self-centered attachments and thoughts.
二十八、積極人生謙虛滿分 自我愈大不安愈多
A positive
life pivots on modesty: the bigger the ego, the greater the insecurity.
二十九、知足知止 知足者不辱也 知止者不殆也 更能長遠
Know when to
be content and when to apply restraint. The one who is content will avoid
humiliation, and the one who applies restraint will avoid dangers. One
can go farther with these practices.
三十、百行之本 忍之為善 六度萬行 忍辱第一 忍則百惡消滅 省則禍不及身 忍小忿而就大謀
Forbearance
is the basic virtue among hundreds of approaches for cultivation, as well as
the primary virtue among the myriad of practices in the Six Paramitas.
Forbearance destroys hundreds of evils; introspection deflects disasters.
Forbearance from small angers will help one reach greater goals.
三十一、宇宙內事 要擔當又需善擺脫 不擔當不能有經世之大材 不擺脫難有出世之胸襟
One should
know how to shoulder responsibilities and how to let go of them for anything in
the universe. A person who is not accountable cannot take on the
responsibilities of this world. A person who cannot let go will have a
difficult time leaving with grace and dignity.
三十二、弓硬常弦斷 人強禍必隨 君子盛德容若愚 謙則人愈服 自誇則人必疑
A stiff bow
tends to break string often; a powerful person tends to attract trouble easily.
An ideal person of sublime virtue seems slow-witted. Humility commands
respect; bragging leads to doubts.
三十三、優秀的辦道人才 是道場最大的資產 有品德 有能力 有適任的實力 有發揮的潛力
An excellent
Tao propagator, who has virtues, capabilities, adequate abilities and
potentials to fulfill, is the greatest asset to the Tao society.
三十四、修道內涵 深具內斂優雅的氣質 展現親和力
The inner
qualities of Tao cultivation consist of having composed and refined
temperaments, as well as friendly manners.
三十五、領人禪心 從糊塗中入 從聰明中出 不痴不聾難作家翁 人生難得糊塗
Guide others
with a contemplative mind. Start from flexibility but go with wisdom. A
father-in-law chooses to be silly and deaf, because sometimes ignorance is
bliss.
三十六、庸者常樂有餘 貧者常憂不足
A simple
person is always content with sufficiency; a poor person is always worried
about insufficiency.
三十七、激則有失 怨則無智 不可乘喜而多言 不可乘快而易事
Agitation
leads mistakes; complaint dulls wits. Never speak too much under excitement;
never rush things under elation.
三十八、眾生歡喜 佛就歡喜 佛若歡喜 眾生更是喜上加喜
When
sentient beings are happy, the buddhas are happy. When the buddhas are happy,
sentient beings will be more than happy.
三十九、善念共聚，力量更大，讓美好停留這一刻。
As good thoughts congregate, the power is greater. Let bliss stay at this
moment!
四十、不是一家人，不入一家門，既是一家人，就沒有外人，愈是自己人，更要學著吃虧，更能體諒與擔待，做的比別人更多方能起示範作用。
If we are not meant to be in the same family, fate would not have let us in the
door. Since we are in the same family, no one is an outsider. The closer the
relationship is to someone, the more we should learn to concede. Be more
considerate and accountable. If we do more than others, then we can be a
positive example.
四十一、凡強逆來侵，先思所以取之故，而思處之法，水激逆流，火激棋發，人激作亂。
When confronted with adversity, think about the cause first and then think
about possible solutions. Stirred water goes against the current, fanned fire
breaks out, and an agitated person instigates chaos.
四十二、與小人處，進德之資也。彼辱愈甚，我志愈堅，消冤解孽，與我事損哉，不遇小人，難以驗我之心量。
Getting along well with a villain qualifies oneself for greater virtues. The
more insults one gets, the stronger one's will becomes. It can eliminate spite
and cease negative karma. What is there to lose? It would be difficult to
determine the capacity of one's heart without encounters with a villain.
四十三、用人之長，容人之短，為大節而棄小義，仁者論義，猶如真經。
Use one's fortes; endure one's shortcomings. It is better to accomplish great
moral integrity than to enforce minor justice. Benevolent people regard
integrity as the golden rule.
四十四、寸有所長，尺有所短，適才而用，虛心應事。
Sometimes a
foot may prove to be short while an inch may prove to be long. Employ people
according to their talents. Deal with matters with a modest mind.
四十五、生老病死，人生自然法則，誰都不能避免。
The process of birth, age, sickness and death is life's natural principle.
Nobody can avoid it.
四十六、一生一世所造的業不斷，累積債主愈來愈多，每一筆都逃不過，無不都是人心共業所致，須戒慎虔誠。
Our karmas accumulate unceasingly in each lifetime, and as a consequence, we
have more and more karmic creditors. No debt can be canceled, and each is the
result of the common karmas that originated from our hearts. Therefore, we have
to be prudent and pious.
四十七、人生劇本，本由自己過去造作而成，要歡喜接受，以平常心面對每一個時刻，不要埋怨，心門打開運就轉。
Our life script is created by ourselves during the past lives. We have to
accept it delightedly. Confront each moment with an ordinary mind. Don't
complain. As our mind is opened, our fate is reversed.
四十八、真誠發露懺悔，方能連根拔起煩惱無明。
We can
uproot distress and ignorance only through sincere repentance of our sins.
四十九、修行就是改習性，習性能除，方能與人相處，輕安自在。
Cultivation
is to change bad habits. Only by eliminating bad habits can we get along well
with others and have a peaceful and easy life.
五十、心慾開啟就想得，得則快樂，失則痛苦，於得失之間造作諸業，息下追逐，超越原來自我。
As our desires grow, we want to gain. Gain makes us joyful; loss makes us
painful. In gain and loss, we cause a lot of karmas. Cease pursuing and surpass
our original self.
五十一、心中有佛，行中有法，法中有道，省思實相，慈愛蒼生。
Have a
Buddha mind, and then one's behavior will be proper. Proper behavior is derived
from the Truth. Self-reflection based on the conscience and the Truth will
result in loving kindness towards all sentient being.
五十二、讓大道傳送福音，修行人所到之處，足跡留下溫馨與感動，災難遠離，人心安樂。
Let the
Great Tao deliver blessings! Where there are Tao cultivators, there are warmth
and touchingness. Thus, disasters will stay away and people will live in
harmony.
五十三、大慈心舖路，大悲心搭橋，大智心牽引，大慧心安穩，大仁心感眾，大義心無私，大愿心忍辱，大行心堅持。
Pave roads with great love. Build bridges with great compassion. Lead with
great wisdom. Balance with great intelligence. Touch others' hearts with great
benevolence. Be selfless with greate justice. Endure with great vow. Persist
with great action.
五十四、當四無量心大於業力之時，便能化災難為祥和；慈心能降伏一切鬼魅，悲心能遠離一切邪惡，喜心祈求心願如意，捨心能廣施一切吉祥。
When the Four Immeasurables (love, compassion, joy & equanimity) are
stronger than karmas, they will turn disasters into harmony. Love can conquer
all demons. Compassion can drive away all evils. Joyful prayer realizes wishes.
Equanimity can spread widely all blessings.
