54. A life philosophy: Life is like an onion; you must peel it layer by layer, and sometimes it may even make you cry.
55. There is a kind of life that remains vivid despite its many twists and turns. Open the curtain of life's stage and listen to the passing years like a song, whether sad or joyful, slipping through your fingertips.

Little do they know that Buddhist repentance means breaking the continuity of the mind—once broken, it never continues; once repented, one should never repeat the error."
