Because we understand the vastness and diversity of the world, and are aware of our own limitations and narrowness, we allow ourselves not to understand others, and allow others not to understand us. We do not try to dominate others' wills, nor do we easily submit to evaluation systems established by others. This is perhaps the freest solitude and the gentlest rebellion. You will create a small world around you that seeks common ground while preserving differences, harmonious yet distinct, tranquil and detached.
On a barren plot of land, grass grows the fastest, followed by shrubs, and then various miscellaneous trees. The grass and shrubs disappear due to lack of sunlight. After a long time, pine trees will grow out from under the miscellaneous trees, slowly surpassing them, and ultimately standing tall for thousands of years. People are the same. Some are like grass, shrubs, and miscellaneous trees, growing fast on the surface but not lasting. Others grow slowly but are like pine trees; once they grow, they become great talents.
How to deal with people you "dislike": The entire process of Buddhist practice is essentially the process of subduing the mind. This is the method that runs through it all; there is no other way. Subdue your unbalanced mind, impure mind, discriminating mind, divisive mind, hateful mind, and ignorant mind. Keep your mind on the path, seeing all sentient beings as Bodhisattvas, while recognizing that only I am truly an ordinary mortal. Believe that there are no more people you dislike before your eyes. If a true practitioner does not see faults in the world, then keeping your mind at peace will bring peace to all beings.

在一块荒地上，草长得最快，随后灌木慢慢长出，再后来是各种杂树，草和灌木因缺乏阳光而消失。很久之后，松树会从杂树下长出来，慢慢超过杂树，最终挺立千百年。人也一样，有些人像草、灌木和杂树，表面长得快却不持久；有些人成长缓慢，却像松树，一旦成长便是大才。
对待「看不顺眼」的人：学佛的整个过程无非就是降伏其心的过程，这是贯穿始终的方法，离此无别路。降服自己不平的心、不清净的心、差别心、分别心、嗔恨心、愚痴心。把心按住在道上，看一切众生都是菩萨，惟我一人实是凡夫。相信眼前就没有看不顺眼的人了，若真修道人不见世间过，保持心安则众生安。
