人心如果安定，至少在我們的環境中，由人類自己製造的災禍便會減少。當各方的因緣都能平衡一些，社會就能較安定，天災也會減少一些。
If people’s minds are calm enough, then at least man-made disasters in our environment will decrease. When the causes and conditions in various aspects can be more in balance, society will more likely become peaceful and stable, and thus there will be fewer natural disasters.

所以在面對天災人禍時，我們能做的是要讓心安定，心平氣和，人與人和諧相處，與自然彼此適應。
As such, when faced with natural and man-made disasters, we should make an effort to calm our minds, keep a gentle and peaceful mind, live in harmony with people, as well as adapt and accommodate to the natural environment.

自助而後人助，人助而後天助，人人惜緣、惜福，從自身的安定做起。讓我們時時心存「處處觀音菩薩，聲聲阿彌陀佛」，隨時安心、隨念安心、隨遇安心，隨時隨地把心收回來，讓波動的心安定下來。

Help yourself and others will help you; heaven helps those who help themselves. We should cherish our karmic affinities and blessings, and start by calming ourselves. Recite “Guanyin Bodhisattva” everywhere; and chant “Amitabha Buddha” without end. Maintain peace of mind at all times, with our thoughts, and in all situations. At any time and place, rein in our mind, so that our fluctuated mind can settle down.

更希望佛法的「慈悲之光」、「智慧之光」，給人間帶來溫暖，讓人人都能身安、心安、家安、業安，才是真正可靠且究竟的平安。

We hoped that the Buddhist light of compassion and wisdom brings warmth to the world, so that everyone can have peace of body, peace of mind, peace of family, and peace of activity. This is the true and ultimate peace that we can depend on.
