The clay jar replied, “Thank you for your kindness, aluminum jar, but staying close to you is not what I want. If you could stay a little further away, I would float along in peace and safety.

Many people, weighed down by the heavy burdens of family and career, often feel suffocated and thus rely on traveling abroad to clear their minds.

A person with true learning is often humble and does not lecture everyone they meet; a person with true wealth is often low-key and does not show off to everyone; a person with true virtue is often wise-hearted and does not constantly express it; a person with true wisdom is often round and unassuming, not showing off their talents; a person with true taste is often natural and does not force themselves; a person with true cultivation is often quiet and does not rush to be first.
Focus your heart, but do not worry or fuss. When the mind is confused, there is suffering; when the mind is enlightened, there is freedom. A good heart is like heaven; a bad heart is like hell.

People must learn to withstand the trials of surrounding people and events without their minds wavering, and learn to maintain inner peace amidst movement.
