Although a lifetime feels long, it passes in the blink of an eye when looking back. We will constantly meet new people and constantly say goodbye to others. Relationships shift from stranger to acquaintance, and back to stranger again; from close allies to parted ways, from meeting too late to wishing we had never met... Not everyone will become your companion, nor will every friend be loyal to you. Do not worry or get annoyed. When fate brings people together, respond with a hearty laugh; when fate lets them go, respond with tolerance.
Keep it simple. When the heart is simple, the world becomes simple, and happiness can grow. When the heart is free, life becomes free, and joy can be found anywhere. When things go well, remain modest; when things go poorly, let it go.
If you always initiate chats, you often end up in an awkward position yourself. What you perceive as caring attention may be seen by the other person as being annoying or clingy.
Master Cheng Yen said: "Tranquility is beauty, and peace is the greatest joy. This is the practice of Zen, cultivating the body and mind, and achieving a state of delight that is the most sublime and beautiful realm."
We bring nothing with us into this world, and we take nothing with us when we leave.
The loneliness of youth is a decoration of life. A youth without loneliness is sorrowful, but a lonely youth is not devoid of happiness; rather, it is that we do not understand happiness. In fact, sometimes loneliness itself is a form of happiness.
Rather than resisting facts that are already established, it is better to accept them. This is called accepting fate.
