人的脾气集在一起，就变成原子弹、就变成氢气弹、就变成死光了。
When people’s tempers gathered together, they become atomic bombs, hydrogen b
ombs, and death rays.
脾气聚集成炸弹
Bad tempers gathered together become bombs
各位啊！我祝你们新年快乐！不要新年忧愁、不要新年哭，这就是一年吉祥的象征，一年
如意吉祥、随心所欲、心想事成。可是你若一发脾气、一生瞋恨心、一有妒忌障碍，一切
吉祥都变成不吉祥了。所以今年大家要把脾气改了。
Everyone, I wish you a happy new year! Do not be sad or cry in the new year. T
hen this is a sign of an auspicious year. The whole year will be favorable and
auspicious, all things will occur as you please, and all your wishes will com
e true. However, if you lose your temper, become hateful, jealous, or obstruct
ive, all auspicious things will become inauspicious. Therefore, in this year,
everyone should get rid of your temper.
我们人人把脾气改了，世界上就没有戾气了，原子弹的威力也减低、氢气弹的威力也减低
，甚至于死光也都没有功效了。若人人能不发脾气，原子弹、氢气弹、死光都会失去它的
功效。就因为我们的脾气大，一有什么事就爆发了；人这脾气集在一起，就变成原子弹、
就变成氢气弹、就变成死光了。因为你脾气大嘛，就有东西比你脾气更大，所以这就害了
整个世界。
If everyone of us can get rid of our bad temper, there will be no violent ener
gy in the world, and the detrimental power of atomic bombs will be lessened, s
o will the power of hydrogen bombs, even death ray will lose its effect. If ev
eryone refrains from losing their temper, atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, and de
ath rays will all lose their powers. Because we have a hot temper, it explodes
whenever certain circumstances occur. When people’s tempers gathered togethe
r, they become atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, and death rays. Since you have a
big temper, there will be things with bigger tempers than yours; as a result,
the world suffers.
你若不发脾气，总是欢欢喜喜的；若黑口黑脸的，用势力压迫人，或者用一些手段来打击
人，这样子就是爆发原子弹、氢气弹和死光的一个导火线。你们若想要没有原子弹的劫、
没有氢气弹的劫、没有死光的劫，就要不发脾气。
If you do not lose your temper, you will be full of joy all the time. However,
if you are gloomy and angry, oppress others with your power, or harm others i
n some ways, this will trigger the explosion of atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs o
r death rays. If you want to avoid the calamity of atomic bombs, hydrogen bomb
s or death rays, then you must refrain from losing your temper.
