Life is like tea—do not seek spring elsewhere, for it is already in your cup. To see through life is not to be pessimistic, but to be proactive; not to give up, but to understand deeply. True wisdom lies in acting timely, not waiting idly.
A stone on a hill envied the busy road below, only to be crushed and defiled after rolling down. Contentment brings true joy—do not gaze at distant peaks. Yield a little, endure small losses; willows green in spring, chrysanthemums gold in autumn. Gain and loss are but nature’s rhythm.
Wealth does not guarantee happiness; a clear conscience brings peace. Before judging others, reflect on your own flaws. Love dissolves doubt; where love exists, suspicion fades.
Spring is not on the branches but in the basket; Buddhahood is not outside but within. Seek not outward—look inward, and find completeness in the present moment.
