If one only chases fame and profit without knowing how to enjoy life, the heart bears the heaviest burden. Unfortunately, most people in the world exhaust their waking moments pursuing various desires, leaving only a sliver of time to seek the true meaning of life.
Whether we act with goodness or evil is a result of the intentions arising within our hearts. All human actions and words stem from the mind. 'If one can subdue the mind, one can subdue all dharmas.' To prevent committing evil deeds, one must first master one's own mind.
Sometimes, silence is the best way to speak.
Often, our troubles do not come from the pursuit of beauty, but from the pursuit of perfection. By deliberately seeking perfection, we cannot tolerate flaws, and in doing so, we miss out on many beautiful things.
Seeing others practice the Way, help them with joy and virtue. The blessings gained will be immense.
I simply desire a simple happiness, and that is all. No matter what the rest of the world says, I believe my own feelings are the truest. Regardless of others' opinions, I will not disrupt my own rhythm. Things I love, I can naturally persist with; things I dislike, will never last long.
Life is not tiring in itself, but rather because there are too many grievances and burdens. If the heart is not calm, the mind becomes chaotic; if the mind is chaotic, the spirit becomes confused. Clear water has no worries because it follows its nature; falling leaves have no regrets because the heart is empty. Let go of all attachments, and you can quietly admire the moon at night and stand in the breeze of autumn.
