Life is like tea—don’t cling to the blossoms on the branch, for spring is already in your basket. Seeing through life isn’t about pessimism, but about optimism; not about disillusionment, but about clarity. True wisdom lies in acting promptly, not waiting idly.
A stone on a hillside envied the bustling road below, only to be trampled after rolling down. Contentment brings lasting joy; don’t chase what others have. Yield a little, take a loss—it’s no harm. Willows bloom in spring, chrysanthemums in autumn—each has its time.
Wealth doesn’t guarantee happiness; a clear conscience brings peace. Before criticizing others, reflect on your own flaws. Love dissolves doubt; when love fills your heart, suspicion fades.
Your mind is your Buddha—seek nothing outside. True joy is not in distant dreams, but in the present moment. See clearly, act wisely, and live with grace.
