The world is essentially neutral. Nothing that happens to you is absolutely positive or negative. The power that determines whether an experience is positive or negative comes from your interpretation. Your inner attitude toward coping decides whether its meaning is positive or negative. Therefore, the key to your happiness lies in your state of mind, not in your circumstances.
What kind of mind you have determines what kind of life you live. If we harbor anger at this moment, we live in a hellish state; if our hearts are kind and beautiful, we live in a heavenly state; if our minds are free from greed and attachment, we live the life of an Arhat; if our hearts are filled with compassion and emptiness, we live the life of a Bodhisattva; and if our minds are perfectly complete, we live the life of a Buddha.
Why must we painfully forget a person? Time will naturally help you forget. If time cannot make you forget those you should not remember, what meaning do our lost years hold?
Yesterday, I had a drink with the God of Wealth and casually boosted your financial luck by a hundred points. Today, I had a drink with the King of Hell and casually added a hundred years to your lifespan. Tomorrow, I will go for a drink with the Matchmaker and arrange a wonderful marriage for you as well!
Life is like a mountain. The more vigorously we climb, the more magnificent and spectacular the mountain scenery becomes.
Life does not need to be perfect, but it must be brilliant. The core task of life is hope. Whether we are willing or not, we must strive to fulfill the wishes of life.
Life is like climbing a mountain. In this process, we learn to be steadfast and calm, and we learn how to find vitality in the midst of panic.
The greatest thing in life is to fully unleash our inner maximum strength.
A young person with an aging heart says, "Life is just a dewdrop on a lotus leaf"; an elderly person with a youthful heart says, "Life endures eternally in great endeavors."
