Beautiful life comes without warning. It appears after enduring an atmosphere of despair, walking towards you unnoticed and without fanfare, and there you are.
It is only when I began to fly that I understood the sadness of the dandelion. The sky is our dream, but to fly, one must leave the shoulders of loved ones. Only by being unattached and carefree can we fly further. When the dandelions bloom again, remember to send me the most beautiful one, to commemorate our scattered youth.
Life can be difficult, but you must keep your head held high. Escaping does not guarantee avoidance, and facing things is not always the hardest part. Loneliness does not mean unhappiness, gains are not always lasting, and loss does not mean you will never possess again. You may be sad for one reason, but you can also find a reason to be happy. The higher one climbs, the more settled the heart should become; only with a steady heart can the path ahead be walked securely.
Keep moving forward and do not look back. Follow the natural course, and your heart will gradually become clear. Turning a detour into a straight path is a smart shortcut; turning a straight path into a detour is an open-minded way to enjoy the scenery. Always maintain a heart of tolerance and gratitude; tolerance is a virtue and a wisdom as vast as the ocean.
Where the wind passes, pure white flowers fall like snow, lightly swirling in indifference. The mist is cool, the lotus sleeps unawakened, and the floating light is dim and ripple-less. Shadows loom far away, distant mountains rise and fall like shifting thoughts, and the trees are lush but fruit-less. Suddenly, a butterfly flutters by with mottled wings. The Buddha bells ring, and on this uncrossed shore, in the reflection, besides my pale face, I see the obsessions I have yet to let go.
Benefits should not be given lightly, excessively, or stingily. Anything highly praised by people is rarely within their expectations. A good beginning should spark curiosity rather than inflate expectations.
To not receive the honor one deserves is a misfortune; to receive honor one does not deserve is a stroke of luck; to receive the honor one deserves at the right time is a true blessing.
