Do not cling to what does not belong to you. The secret to harmonious coexistence is: patience prevents the roots of trouble; forbearance avoids unnecessary conflict; endurance transforms hardships into purity; and taking a step back is a path of spiritual cultivation. Life is short, the journey is arduous; as the sun sets, the sounds of sorrow linger. If you dislike someone, simply avoid contact. Remember never to gossip behind people's backs, for those who engage in gossip are often the creators of it. As long as you have confidence, you will never truly be defeated. Do not blame the external world for your suffering; much of life's pain stems from the negative energy we internalize. In this mortal world, everyone needs a Zen mind. A journey with someone to miss is not wandering; days spent in longing are not loneliness; years of care will never vanish. Do not let destiny pass you by, and do not let dreams turn into bubbles. In this life, wealth and fame are like flowers in a mirror or the moon in the water—illusory and not worth obsessing over. Seeing is not the same as understanding; understanding is not the same as letting go; letting go is not the same as being able to pick things up again. Life is like walking through a fog; every step is a hardship, every hardship carries pain, and every pain is a hurdle. Only when the heart truly feels pain can it truly let go. And to pick things up again requires both courage and strength.
