先天知命六壬仙道壇

樂不足喜，因為樂極可能生悲；苦也不足憂，苦盡也會甘來。

Do not carry your joy to excess, for extreme joy could give rise to sorrow. Do not be depressed when you suffer, for after suffering comes happiness.

「是非天天有，不聽自然無。」所以不說是非，不傳是非，不怕是非，也不聽是非，則是非自然不起作用。

Gossip exists only for the people who listen to it. If we neither peddle nor listen to gossip, then gossip will not affect us.

話到口邊想一想，講話之前慢半拍。不是不說，而是要惜言慎語。

Think before you speak. This doesn’t mean you should be quiet, but that you should be careful what you say.

整天無所事事，是人生的消費者，熱心奉獻才是有意義的人生。

Life is wasted if idling away one’s time. Life becomes meaningful if serving all beings with dedication.

如果想要時時保持快樂，就不要在人我之間製造是非。有些人的煩惱是來自於別人一句無心的話，而他卻有意地接受。這就是無事生非，自尋煩惱。

In order to maintain a peaceful co-existence, it is compulsory not to sow discord among people. A casual remark often disturbs those who would take it too seriously. This is making trouble out of nothing.

有「求」則必有「苦」，有「求不得」的苦；求得了，又有患失之苦。唯有「無所求」，心中沒有慾求，才最自在、最快樂。

Desires are bound to bring afflictions. Desires unfulfilled cause painful bitterness. Desires fulfilled cause fears of loss. Only when one has no desires can one be most carefree and joyful.
