76. When Tang Monk introduced himself, he said: "I am Tang Sanzang, coming from the Great Tang in the East to the West to worship Buddha and fetch scriptures." These words encapsulate three essential questions: Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going? By clarifying our identity, origins, and destination, we define our life goals. No matter the hardships and temptations on the path, our resolve will remain unshakable, allowing us to eventually achieve our goals.
77. One can be tolerant of others but must not be indulgent; one can be devoted to love but must not be obsessed. Often, by caring too much about a person, one loses oneself; by being too desperate for affection, one loses dignity. Do not be self-righteous; the Earth turns regardless of who is gone. Throughout history, those who acted insolently due to their talents met no good end. Therefore, no matter how capable you are, remain humble and prudent, and do your work well; for gold will always shine.
78. When the road is blocked, choose to detour; when the heart is restless, choose to let it go; when affection fades, choose to be indifferent. Some things pass if you endure them; some people are forgotten if you harden your heart; some sorrows are dissolved with a smile; and a heart grows stronger through its wounds.
79. In our encounters with the passersby of life, we cannot expect proportional returns or perfect outcomes; we can only submit to heaven and await the orders of fate. Once you have done your utmost and ensured no regrets remain, the result is the best possible explanation. At that moment, serenity is the best attitude toward life.
80. A person is like an empty bottle; what you fill it with is what you become. If you fill it with too much or too much of the wrong things, it becomes hard to bear. Remember to empty yourself regularly and fill yourself with beautiful things; the simpler you are, the happier you will be.
81. Do not equate sensory pleasure with true love—even if such pleasure has lasted for a long time.
82. Many things in life are actually within our reach, but we simply do not know our own capability. As long as we keep moving forward, everything is possible.
83. 一场闲富贵,很很挣来,虽得还是失。
84. 老树新华,同含生意,胡为妄别妍媸。
85. 书画是雅事,一贪痴便成商贾。
86. 纤尘不染,方解得开地网天罗。
87. 一段不为的气节,是撑天立地之柱石。
88. 阶下几点飞翠落红,收拾来无非诗料。
89. No one in the world dislikes money, no matter how wealthy they are. Generally, only two types of people will spend money on you: one for profit, and the other for friendship.
90. Sales opportunities are often fleeting; one must judge quickly and accurately and pay close attention to avoid missing them, and one should strive to create opportunities.
91. Some people are suited for love, some for learning, some for acting spoiled, some for mutual flattery, some for imagination, some for chatting, and some for roaring. In this era, you cannot expect to find everything in one person. Therefore, lowering your expectations of others is the best way to be kind to yourself.
92. No one is irreplaceable, and nothing is a must-have. Once you realize this, when the people around you no longer need you or when you lose everything you love most in the world, you should understand that it is no big deal.
96. When we reach our twilight years, we suddenly look back at our youth; it should be filled with mixed emotions: half brightness, half sorrow.
97. Will lost things ever return? Perhaps they will! It is just that I once lost a button, and by the time I finally found it, I had already changed my clothes.
98. If you cannot return to your center, if you cannot find your true self, you will spend your life relying on various external toys, and your spirituality will never grow.
