布衣暖，菜根香，读书滋味长。

A man who is able to live a simple life by eating the root of vegetable can take up any challenging tasks. 人能嚼得菜根，则百事可做。

1

栖守道德者，寂寞一时；依阿权势者，凄凉万古。达人观身外之物、思身后之身；宁受一时之寂寞，勿取万古之凄凉。

He who maintains his dignity may be left alone for a while; but he who bows to the rich and powerful will be shunned forever. A man of noble mind and character is the one whose sight reaches beyond immediate circumstance and whose vision extends beyond current existence, thus he fully understands that it is better to endue short-term loneliness in this life than to suffer everlasting torment of isolation in future.

2

涉世浅，点染亦浅；历事深，机械亦深。故君子与其达练，不如朴鲁；与其曲谨，不如疏狂。

He who knows little about the world is normally more honest towards life; he who delves deep into the world is often more cunning in dealing with people. Thus a man of noble character would rather be a simple guy than become an intricate schemer; rather be an untamed bloke than be an over calculating plotter.

3

君子之心事，青天白日，不可使人不知；君子之才华，玉韫珠藏，不可使人易知。

The view of a man of dignity shall be like the sun in the blue sky that is not hidden before others; the talent of a man of dignity shall be like the treasure in private jar that is not shown off to others.

4

耳中常闻逆耳之言，心中常有拂心之事，才是进德修身的砥石。若言言悦耳，事事快心，便把此生埋在鸠毒中矣。

To frequently hear opposing opinions and to constantly face challenging situations are the best ways to speed the progress of your personal cultivation. If you only pay attention to appeasing words and only take easy path to navigate your life, you are just like the one who relies on drugs to acquire cheap pleasure – you are ruin your life for a momentary high.

5

疾风怒雨，禽鸟戚戚; 霁日光风, 草木欣欣. 可见天地不可一日无和风, 人心不可一日无喜神.

When gale winds and heavy rains rage through the woods, birds are all reduced to groan and lament. Once the storm is over and sun pops up again, entire bush is glistening with delight. Thus we know the world cannot do without gental breeze and people cannot live without merry spirits.

6

醲肥辛甘非真味，真味只是淡。神奇卓异非至人，至人只是常。

Real flavour does not lie in sumptuous dishes; only simple food can give forth pure taste.

True man is not the one who performs miracles but the one knowing how to live an ordinary life.

7

天地寂然不动，而气机无息稍停；日月昼夜奔驰，而贞明万古不易。故君子闲时要有吃紧的心思，忙处要有悠闲的趣味。

The view of a man of dignity shall be like the sun in the blue sky that is not hidden before others; the talent of a man of dignity shall be like the treasure in private jar that is not shown off to others.

8

夜深人静独坐观心，始知妄穷而真独露，每于此中得大机趣；既觉真现而妄难又于此中得大惭忸。

If you sit in the quite night meditating to the point that you let go of all your wandering thoughts, you'll discover your true self within. It brings you rejoice for having realised who you really are, but it also makes you ashamed to keep being fooled by false perceptions.

9

藜口苋肠者，多冰清玉洁；衮衣玉食者，甘婢膝奴颜。盖志以淡泊明，而节从肥甘丧矣。

People living the simple life are more likely to carry themselves with dignity, and people indulging in lavish lifestyles are more ready to bend their knees. It is thus noticed that high aspiration can only be seen in plain and clear existence while moral integrity can be compromised by extravagance.

10

面前的天地要放得宽，使人无不平之叹；身后的惠译要流得久，使人有不匮之思。

Be generous and fair towards those standing before you; leave legacy that is positive and enduring to those coming after you.

11

径路窄处，留一步与人行；滋味浓时，减三分让人尝。此是涉世一极安乐法。

Where the path is narrow, leave some space for others to pass; when the food is testy, offer your mates a bite of the delicacy. This is a way to ensure long term happiness and safety.

12

交友须带三分侠气，做人要存一点素心。

Be an honourable friend; keep a childlike heart.

13

宠利毋居人前，德业毋落人后；受享毋逾分外，修为毋减分中。

Do not scramble for favour or profit; do not lag behind when offering contribution; do not take more than you deserve; do not let a day pass by without making progress in personal cultivation.

14

处世让一步为高，退步即进步的张本；待人宽一分是福，利人实利己的根基。

When handling affairs, taking one step back can bring forward progress; when dealing with relationships, being generous to others will benefit yourself.

15

盖世功劳，当不得一个矜字；弥天罪过，当不得一个悔字。

No matter how great achievement one has accomplished, being self-conceit will cancel it out; no matter what horrendous crime one has committed, sincere repentance can redeem the karmic debt.

16

完名美节，不宜独任，分些与人，可以远害全身；辱行污名，不宜全推，引些归己，可以韬光养德。

By sharing the glory of your success with others, you can keep jealousy and hatred from distance; by sharing the responsibility for mistakes made by others, you will gain an opportunity to advance your self-cultivation progress.

17

事事留个有余不尽的意思，便造物不能忌我，鬼神不能损我。若业必求满，功必求盈者，不生内变，必召外忧。

Whatever you do, don't go extreme, or you'll run into a wall of opposition. If you can't tolerate anything that is less than perfect, your undertaking is deemed to fail sooner or later either due to internal conflict or as the result of external threat.
