Holy Scripture of Lao Shi / 老師慈訓

師云:
shī yún:

我們修道修心
wŏ mén xiū dào xiū xīn

我們辦道盡心
wŏ mén bàn dào jìn xīn

我們不與人家比短論長
wŏ mén bù yŭ rén jiā bĭ duăn lùn cháng

我們不與人家爭強鬥勝
wŏ mén bù yŭ rén jiā zhēng qiáng dòu shèng

我們委屈自己圓融十方
wŏ mén wĕi qū zì jĭ yuán róng shí fāng

我們是苦海與西方極樂世界的一座橋樑
wŏ mén shì kŭ hăi yŭ xī fāng jí lè shì jiè de yī zuò qiáo liáng

任人踐踏與毀謗
rèn rén jiàn tà yŭ huĭ bàng

我們要低下頭
wŏ mén yào dī xià tóu

我們理直氣壯
wŏ mén lĭ zhí qì zhuàng

我們屈伸自如
wŏ mén qū shēn zì rú

我們道念堅強

我們不白來人世上
wŏ mén bù bái lái rén shì shàng

我們不白過時光
wŏ mén bù bái guò shí guāng

雖一人緊繫多少蒼生性命
suī yī rén jĭn xì duō shăo cāng shēng xìng mìng

看重自己
kàn zhòng zì jĭ

不須要徬徨
bù xū yào páng huáng

不需要受自己的礙障
bù xū yào shòu zì jĭ de ài zhàng

樹立一條正確的目標
shù lì yī tiáo zhèng què de mù biāo

讓千萬人安安穩穩的直上
ràng qiān wàn rén ān ān wĕn wĕn de zhí shàng

讓千萬人沾到慈暉之光
ràng qiān wàn rén zhān dào cí huī zhī guāng

讓千萬人沐浴在天恩的浩蕩
ràng qiān wàn rén mù yù zài tiān ēn de hào dàng

讓千萬人了脫這苦海的汪洋
ràng qiān wàn rén liăo tuō zhè kŭ hăi de wāng yáng

讓千萬人的九玄七祖一齊沾光
ràng qiān wàn rén de jiŭ xuán qī zŭ yī qí zhān guāng


A simple (and incomplete and not-so-good) translation....

Cultivation is about cultivating the mind; propagation is about putting in our best effort
We do not make comparison with others
We do not compete with others
We let ourselves be hurt for others
We are the bridge between heaven and this sea of suffering
We let others step on us and slander us

We must be humble
We know we are right, and hence confident
...............
We have strong Dao mindset
We do not sacrifice for nothing
We do not come to this world for nothing
We do not waste our time

Although we're just 1 person, we affect the lives of many
See ourselves as important, and do not wander around in hesitant, or even be the obstacle to our own progress

We establish the right aim
so that countless beings can follow the path safely
so that countless beings can receive the ray of compassion
so that countless beings can receive the grace of Heaven
so that countless beings can escape from this sea of suffering
so that the ancestors and descendants of countless beings can all receive the benefit
