Fate clings tightly to a person's back; even if one turns around to look, its true form remains invisible.
In the journey of life, sometimes choosing not to take risks is more dangerous than taking them.
The burden on the heart is often heavy. As we search and wander, when will the true nature of life return to simplicity? When will we break free from the quagmire of the spirit? When can we lock in new life coordinates? When will our wrinkled hearts finally relax? Perhaps love, friendship, and romance must all accompany the process of mental exhaustion? Perhaps so-called pride and arrogance come at the cost of a weary heart? Perhaps, from a certain perspective, the human soul is truly hopeless? Or perhaps, only by ceasing to ponder all these "maybes" can we lighten the unbearable weight of life.
When thoughts are upright, good fortune arrives; when thoughts are crooked, misfortune follows.
The Collected Sayings of Master Dahui Pujue warns the world: "There are those who read and recite sutras and repent in the morning, but use their mouths to curse and scold people in the evening, only to bow and repent again the next day. They do this year after year, treating it as their daily routine. Little do they know that the Sanskrit term 'Kamma' means repentance, which is to cut off the continuous mind. Once cut, it never continues; once repented, it is never done again."
