The world is not complicated; it only requires a simple heart. Simplicity is not crudeness, but the tranquility and depth of the ocean at noon. It is not mediocrity, but the vastness of the plateau in late autumn. Simplicity is not a rejection of romance, but maintaining a sense of ethereal calm amidst the noise, and finding peace in the mundane. By stripping away complexity and pretension, life becomes as smooth as flowing water between mountains, melting away frozen emotions and making a bustling world feel vibrant.
No endeavor in this world is without hardship; life itself is a process of self-cultivation. There is no need to torment yourself or waste your years with a discontented heart. In life, if you can cultivate the habit of thinking, "It is good if I have it; it is also fine if I do not," you can turn suffering into joy. Living is itself a form of spiritual practice.
The most beautiful things in life are often free, while the second most beautiful things are very expensive. Love life with all your heart. Life is a grand stage: facing what must be faced is a baptism of the soul and a purification of the mind; striving for what belongs to you is a law of survival and a struggle for life; and cherishing what should be cherished is a sign of respect for others and for oneself.
