In life's trials, do not seek cleverness but wisdom. Wisdom is the purest and most perfect thought in the human heart; when one possesses innate nature and wisdom, one can discern worldly affairs and realize the truth.
Giving to others makes life feel more grounded and meaningful, leaving no room for emptiness.
Do not indulge in fleeting pleasures, for pleasure today often leads to suffering tomorrow.
Humans are like fragile reeds, needing to see another reed as their own root.
Rather than spending time dreaming of a beautiful end, it is better to live beautifully until the very end.
For those who are willing, fate leads the way; for those who are unwilling, fate drags them along.
Ultimately, in this empty world, who is not a wandering soul?
No matter how bustling the world may be, noise occupies only a tiny portion of existence. Beyond the bustle lies a boundless world, and within it, there is a place for me—a quiet place.
