《 西敏寺的那块石碑》
一介草民梦想改变世界, 只因身在囧途。 挫折和逆境让你明白, 改变自己是唯一的出路!
于是藩篱不再, 一生在越界中走过。 改的改了, 没改的依然故我。
放下改变别人的念头, 放下改造世界的幻想, 耐住孤独的审慎, 守着内心的善良。
走出去看世界, 激发洞见真善美的潜能, 天地之大, 有常与无常互生。
看水还是水, 看山还是山。 世界的变才永恒不变, 何苦寻求变与不变的答案?!
不改变自己, 世界永远不会为你改变; 改变自己, 世界也会如你所愿。

As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change,so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. Butit, too, seemed immovable. As I grewinto my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, Isettled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they wouldhave none of it. And now, as Ilie on my death bed, I suddenly realize: If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would havechanged my family.From their in spiration and encouragement, I would then havebeen able to better my country,and who knows, I may have even changed theworld. 译 文: 当我年轻的时候,我的想象力从没有受到过限制,我梦想改变这个世界。 当我成熟以后,我发现我不能改变这个世界,我将目光缩短了些,决定只改变我的国家。但是,我的国家似乎也是我无法改变的。 当我进入暮年后,我发现我不能改变我的国家,我的最后愿望仅仅是改变一下我的家庭。但是,这也不可能。 当我躺在床上,行将就木时,我突然意识到:如果一开始我仅仅去改变我自己,然后作为一个榜样,我可能改变我的家庭;在家人的帮助和鼓励下,我可能为国家做一些事情。然后谁知道呢?我甚至可能改变这个世界。
