 This work of calligraphy translates as, “To shine like the sun and moon, cultivate peacefulness by being tolerant and patient;” “To last as long as the mountains and rivers, be a benevolent one of virtue.” This couplet was written by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III to masters who learn and practice Buddha Dharma. It encourages those masters to lead well the Buddhist practitioners who follow them. Only by acting in accordance with what is written in this couplet can one becomes a noble person.

The meaning of this couplet is as follows: No matter what our circumstances may be, we must always remember to be tolerant and patient under insult and adversity and cultivate our conduct at all times. additionally, we should broadly plant seeds of goodness and develop ourselves to be selfless people of noble moral character. This type of morality is as bright as the sun and moon. Those who personify it will receive the respect and love of others.

“To last as long as the mountains and rivers, be a benevolent one of virtue” refers to people who have a noble, moral character; who exemplify benevolence, justice, proper manners, wisdom, and faithfulness; who show loving care for others; and who selflessly contribute to others. Their state of realization and virtue will last as long as the mountains and rivers, never fading away.

像太陽和月亮一樣閃耀，以寬容和耐心來培養和平
