You may not be the most beautiful, but you can be the most lovely; you may not be the smartest, but you can be the most diligent; you may not be the richest, but you can be the most fulfilled; you may not have the smoothest path, but you can be the most optimistic.
Trying is like a brave bird soaring through dark clouds into the sky, or a small boat pushing forward against raging waves. For the brave, trying is a brand-new path of life; for the weak, it becomes an insurmountable wall.
With honesty comes the abandonment of falsehood; with honesty comes the rejection of boredom; with steadiness comes the farewell to impatience. Whether chosen or lost unintentionally, as long as it was once truly possessed, learning to let go at certain moments is also a form of wisdom.
Some say when life is good, you should prepare an exit; when life is hard, you should leave yourself a way out.
Crying for someone is a form of harm. Who sits beneath the Bodhi tree, counting the falling flowers of each cycle of rebirth? Who plays sorrowful melodies across the vast world? And who becomes immersed in ink, writing about the mortal world?
Between friendship and love lies poetry and charm; between love and friendship lies reason and emotion; between friendship and love lies time and fate; between love and friendship lies intention and innocence.
If you are still complaining about not being recognized or facing a difficult path, stop self-pity. Nurture your life with effort and care, and let the flower of life—blooming only once—shine in its most brilliant form.
Cultivation refers to one’s character, morality, temperament, and understanding of life, developed through practice and refinement. In today’s fast-paced and competitive society, how to stay true to oneself, cultivate virtue, calm the mind, and practice self-discipline are questions everyone must face. Some people miss many opportunities to meet others simply because they keep postponing, only to realize it is too late.
The way of great breadth and long-lasting harmony is the foundation of receiving blessings.
