佛恩浩荡 Enormous gratitude from the Buddha
心中有恩，知恩图报，是“饮水思源”的博大情怀。
Holding gratitude in mind is the great sense of "when drinking water, one should not forget its source" [Chinese idiom].

古人云：“知恩图报，善莫大焉”。心中有恩，也是一种生活智慧。懂得感恩的人，容易满足，容易快乐。心中有多少恩，就有多少福；心中有多少怨，就有多少苦。心中有恩，想人好处，这叫聚光。光向上走，表现在脸上，就是微笑。微笑的脸是元宝形，嘴像莲花一样，肯定有福。想人不好，抱怨人，嫉妒人，憎恨人，这叫聚阴。气阴则下沉，表现在脸上，就是冬瓜脸、苦瓜相，肯定倒霉。
The ancient Chinese saying goes, "Expressing gratitude is the greatest good."
Being grateful in mind is also a kind of life wisdom. Grateful people are easier to feel satisfied and happy. There are as many blessings as there is gratitude in your mind. There is as much suffering as there is resentment in your mind.
Being grateful in mind, thinking about the good qualities of others, it is called “gathering the light”. When the light goes up, it manifests as a smile on the face. A smiling face has the shape of a gold ingot. The lips are like lotus flowers, which definitely bring blessings. Thinking about the bad aspects of others, complaining about others, being jealous of others, hating others, is called “gathering the darkness.” When the dark energy flows down, it manifests as a sour-faced, miserable look, which definitely results in bad luck.

人生世上有10恩要牢记：
There are ten kinds of gratitude in life that we should keep in mind:
1.天地呵护之恩：天地化生万物，孕育生命，这是天地至仁至善之大德。天、地、人并称为“三才”。人感念天地之恩，遵循天地之道，对万物生灵都要慈悲爱护。
1. The Gratitude of Caring from Heaven and Earth: Heaven and Earth give birth to everything and nourish life. This is Heaven and Earth's most benevolent and kind great virtue. Heaven, Earth, and humans; these three things together are called the "three gifts". Humans should be grateful to Heaven and Earth, follow the Way of Heaven and Earth, and show love and compassion to all beings.

2.父母养育之恩：《诗经》：“哀哀父母，生我劬劳。”意思是说父母生养我们非常辛劳。父母在，人生尚有来处；父母去，人生只剩归途。切莫做不孝子女！
2. The Gratitude of Parental Rearing: The Book of Songs [also known as Shih-ching] says, "Alas! alas! my parents, With what toil and suffering ye gave me birth!" It means that our parents worked very hard to bring us up. When the parents are alive, there is still a home in life; when the parents are gone, there is only a hometown left in life. Never be an ungrateful child!

3.兄弟手足之恩：兄弟姐妹如同手足，同是父母的血脉，血浓于水，同是父母的基因遗传，同一家庭成长。亲情，是生命成长的沃土。兄弟姐妹，同样的亲情同一个根。
3. The Gratitude of Siblings: Brothers and sisters are like your hands and feet; the same veins are bound by parents; our blood is thicker than water; we have the same genes from parents growing up in the same family. Family affection is the fertile soil of growing life. Brothers and sisters are from the same kinship, the same root.

4.夫妻同命之恩：夫妻本是同命鸟，患难之时相扶持。结发为夫妻，恩爱两不疑。“执子之手，与子偕老”。
4. The Gratitude of the Fate-sharing Husband and Wife: Husband and wife are like two-headed birds who support each other in times of difficulty. they are married, there is no doubt that they are in love with each other. “I grasped your hand, Together with you I was to grow old."

5.知己相知之恩：海内存知己，天涯若比邻。知己是什么？是那个真正懂你的人，在灵魂上惺惺相惜的人。
5. The Gratitude of Bosom Friends’ Understanding of Each Other: If you have a friend afar who knows your heart; distance can't keep you two apart. What is a bosom friend? It’s the one who truly understands you, appreciates and supports you spiritually.

6.良师栽培之恩：一日为师，终生为父。如果说是父母在身体上养育了我们，那么是老师给了我们知识与慧命。
6. The Gratitude of a Good Teacher’s Patronage: A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime. Parents brought us up physically, and our teachers brought us knowledge and wisdom.

7.贵人提携之恩：贵人就是赏识你的人，能看到你的真正价值的人，并且提供机会让你施展的人。世间千里马常有，而伯乐不常有；若世无伯乐，则千里马沉默终生，悄然而死。所以，对贵人提携之恩，怎能不感激呢！
7. The Gratitude to a Key Person in Life Who Appreciates and Supports: A key person is the one who appreciates you, who is able to see your true value, and who offers you opportunities to present yourself. Swift horses are common to find, but BoLe (a horse tamer) is rare to meet. Without BoLe in this world, the swift horses would not be recognized in their lives and would end up dying silently. Therefore, how can we not be grateful to the key person who appreciates and supports us!

Note: BoLe, a horse tamer in the Spring and Autumn period, a famous judge of horses. It figuratively means "good judge of [especially hidden] talent."

8.智者指点之恩：人生难免有困惑，特别是在年轻的时候，若能够在迷途中得到、智者指点，那将会受益终身。多与高人、智者交流，并时时感恩，有时他们的片言只语会让你的眼前一片光明。
8. The Gratitude of a Wise Man’s Guidance: Confusion is inevitable in life, especially when you are young. If you can get guidance from a wise person on the lost way, it will benefit you for a lifetime. Communicate more often with extraordinary and wise people and be thankful all the time. Sometimes, only a few words from them could enlighten your mind.

9.救急扶危之恩：天有不测风云，人有旦夕祸福。在危难之中，有人肯出手相救，这恩当终身不忘！滴水之恩，涌泉相报；救命之恩，一生相报。
9. The Gratitude of Someone Who Helps You Out of Danger and Emergency: A storm may arise from a clear sky, but human fortunes are as unpredictable as the weather. If someone is willing to save us in danger, such kindness will never be forgotten. A drop of water will be returned with a burst of spring [Chinese proverb]. The life-saving grace will be repaid over the course of a lifetime.

10.锦上添花之恩：雪中送炭，固然是大恩大德；锦上添花，也是帮助人的恩德。一个好汉三个帮，红花需要绿叶衬。当一个人独当一面，正辉煌的时候，对那些不来拆台，而是过来帮衬的人要感恩。
10. The Gratitude of Having Icing on the Cake: Sending help in somebody’s hour of need is no doubt a great virtue and gratitude, whereas sending icing on the cake is a grateful virtue of helping others. Two heads are better than one. Green leaves bring out the shine of red flowers [Chinese proverb]. When one takes charge as chief, when one is in his brilliant time, he should be grateful to those who come to assist and support him instead of coming to bring him down.
