要跟诸上善人相处，怎么样让诸上善人接受我们呢？

You have to constantly be the person of virtue。 How do you do that？

我要有礼貌，我要勤劳，我要负责任。

You have to have manners， you have to be diligent， and you have to be responsible。

甚至吃过饭以后还要饭食经行，还要运动呢。

And then after eating a meal， you have to do walking meditation， you have to exercise。

那许多树木花草，你能不去浇水吗？

Then you have to tend to all the trees along the roads。

那些七宝楼阁，你能不保持它的清洁、干净、庄严美丽吗？

And then you have to maintain all these jewel pavilions by keeping them clean。

我的意思是，到了极乐世界一样的很辛苦。

What I‘m trying to say is life in Pure Land would be just as hard。

你在这个世间上，养成了勤劳的习惯，念佛、念法、念僧，加以信仰，将来到了极乐世界，就会习惯了。

Therefore， what‘s more important right now is for you to begin by nurturing your nature of diligence in chanting the Buddha， the Dharma and the Sangha， and one day when you eventually arrive in Pure Land， everything would be easier。

每次被问及英语为什么这么好时，妙光法师都谦虚地说：我在国外生活长大。但其实最开始，她是个英语倒数第一的孩子。

妙光法师出生在台湾的富裕家庭，12岁移民澳洲。那时，她英语零基础，性格内向，常受欺负。她说：100分满分的英文课，她只能考3分半。

这段时间，她母亲常去澳洲的佛光山道场散心，让妙光接触到了一些基础的佛法。
