Life is like a dream, and time is merciless. Looking back, one realizes that living itself is a state of mind. Whether poor or rich, gain or loss, everything eventually becomes fleeting like smoke. No matter yesterday, today, or tomorrow, as long as one feels mentally at ease, each day is a good day.
When love runs deep, loneliness often follows. Thousands of years of longing and waiting transformed the white fox into a human, yet the deep emotion remained unchanged. In its new life, she still guards an ancient vow alone. The attachment in her heart spreads like poison, and the deep pain persists because of an unresolved bond from a thousand years ago.
Gold will shine, but not everything that shines is gold.
Life is full of disappointments. There is no need to constantly struggle with yourself. Fix what is yours and let go of what belongs to others. Obsession is like a swamp—the more you struggle, the deeper you sink. Changing your perspective and mindset often brings clarity.
In life’s decisions, there are always two paths. Conscience and reason often tell us which one to take, yet most people still choose the other.
A Zen master once asked: Which is better, a grain of gold or a pile of mud? The seeker answered, gold of course. The master smiled and said: What if you are a seed? Sometimes, changing your perspective leads to liberation.
