...And this above all to thine own self be true
A line from Shakespeare's Hamlet
yóu qí yào jǐn de nǐ bì xū duì nǐ zì jǐ zhōng shí
尤其要緊的你必須對你自己忠實 is the classic translation of a line from Shakespeare's Hamlet into Chinese.
Be True to Yourself
zuò zhēn shí de zì jǐ
做真实的自己 means “be true to yourself” in Chinese.
Note: This is more a western-style phrase or idea, so it’s not that common to see this in Chinese.
Be True to Yourself
jibun jishin ni chuujitsu de aru
自分自身に忠実である is, “be true to yourself” in Japanese.
You could also translate this as “be true to oneself.”
Note: Because this selection contains some special Japanese Hiragana characters, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
The Original Mind
In Zen Buddhism, 本心 means “original mind” or “original heart,” which refers to one's Buddha-nature present from birth.
This can also be translated as true feelings, real intention, one's own heart, one's right mind, one's senses, one's conscience, or fundamental mind.
Note: 心 can mean heart or mind - thought in ancient Asia to be the same organ.
To thine own self be true
onore ni chuujitsu nare
己に忠実なれ is “...to thine own self be true” in Japanese.
This is a small portion of the classic line from Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Note: Because this selection contains some special Japanese Hiragana characters, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
True to Yourself
zuò zhēn shí de zì jǐ
真實的自己 means “true to yourself” in Chinese.
This is just a one-word difference from “be true to yourself.”
Note: This is more a western-style phrase or idea, so it’s not that common to see this in Chinese.

ā lài yé shì a1 lai4 ye2 shi4 a lai yeh shih araya shiki |
ālaya-vijñāna. 'The receptacle intellect or consciousness;' 'the orginating or receptacle intelligence;' 'basic consciousness' (Keith). It is the store or totality of consciousness, both absolute and relative, impersonal in the whole, temporally personal or individual in its separated parts, always reproductive. It is described as 有情根本之心識 the fundamental mind-consciousness of conscious beings, which lays hold of all the experiences of the individual life: and which as storehouse holds the germs 種子 of all affairs; it is at the root of all experience, of the skandhas, and of all things on which sentient beings depend for existence. Mind is another term for it, as it both stores and gives rise to all seeds of phenomena and knowledge. It is called 本識 original mind, because it is the root of all things; 無沒識 inexhaustible mind, because none of its seeds (or products) is lost; 現識 manifested mind, because all things are revealed in or by it; 種子識 seeds mind, because from it spring all individualities, or particulars; 所知依識 because it is the basis of all knowledge; 異熟識 because it produces the rounds of morality, good and evil karma, etc.; 執持識 or 阿陀那 q.v., that which holds together, or is the seed of another rebirh, or phenomena, the causal nexus; 第一識 the prime or supreme mind or consciousness; 宅識 abode (of) consciousness; 無垢識 unsullied consciousness when considered in the absolute, i.e. the Tathāgata; and 第八識, as the last of the eight vijñānas. There has been much discussion as to the meaning and implications of the ālaya-vijñāna. It may also be termed the unconscious, or unconscious absolute, out of whose ignorance or unconsciousness rises all consciousness. |
Variations: |
honnetotatemae; honnetotatemae ほんねとたてまえ; ホンネとタテマエ |
(exp,n) one's true feelings and one's official stance (which may be at odds); one's real motive and one's stated reason |
