Letting go is gaining; within imperfection lies completeness. The scriptures that we once spent countless hours trying to memorize are often imprinted on the mind instantly once enlightenment strikes. Many believe Zen is profound and vast, yet it often resides in a single moment of awareness—in a drop of water, between petals of a flower, or within the swirling world around us.
Instead of admiring others' talents, it is better to learn from their diligence. Rather than flattering others' strengths, one should critique one's own weaknesses. Only by sweating for oneself, eating one's own food, and handling one's own affairs can one become the best version of oneself.
The greatest enemy is the self; the greatest failure is arrogance; the greatest ignorance is self-deception; the greatest sorrow is self-abandonment; the greatest bankruptcy is despair; the greatest joy is dedication; and the greatest wealth is health.
Life is inherently a blend of flavors, and fate is a series of ups and downs. We must be able to endure coldness, viewing human relations with open-mindedness, the world's cunning with indifference, and the vicissitudes of life with clarity. We must be able to bear hardship, for comfort often harms the heart, while Adversity fosters growth, and mediocrity wastes potential. We must withstand noise; a calm mind accepts the few and the many, a quiet heart faces gains and losses, and a pure spirit embraces joy and sorrow. We must endure fatigue, for life is short and even the longest journeys have an end; only through striving can one transcend. We must withstand failure, for circumstances are uncertain. When facing adversity, hold your head high. While success is not entirely within our control, our attitude defines our stature.
割舍即是得到，残缺之中蕴藏着圆满。那些我们曾耗费无数时光却难以铭记的经典，往往在顿悟的那一刻便能过目不忘。许多人认为禅学精深渊博，实则它往往就在一念之间，存在于水滴之中，绽放于花朵之间，流淌在这个婆娑的世界里。
欣赏他人的才华，不如学习他人的勤奋；赞美他人的长处，不如审视自己的短处。唯有挥洒自己的汗水，吃自己做的饭，处理好自己的事务，才能成就最好的自己。
最大的敌人是自我，最大的失败源于自大，最大的无知是自欺，最大的悲哀是自弃，最大的破产是绝望，最大的欣慰是奉献，而最大的财富则是健康。
生活本就如五味杂陈，命运自是高低起伏。我们要能忍受冷漠，看开人情，看淡世故，看透炎凉；要能吃得辛苦，因为安乐常害人心，忧患反促成长，平庸最误前程；要能忍受喧嚣，心平则安于众寡，心静则对得失，心净则承悲欢；要能经得起劳累，因为浮生本就短暂，再长的人生终有尽头，唯有奋发方能超越；要能抗得住失败，因为世事难定，遇事当昂首，成败虽非全由我掌控，但态度决定格局。
"When you feel that keeping a secret is more valuable than spreading one, you have matured."
"Life requires precipitation and sufficient time for reflection to achieve perfection."
"Self-esteem is the backbone of a child's mental and emotional development."
"The ripening of fruit requires not only sunshine but also cool nights and cold rain."
"We are no longer the innocent, sincere-eyed youth"
