I really like what Teacher Taoyuan Yeju said:
Whether it is a man or a woman; whether it is an old man or a child, that kind of quiet look is the most beautiful, that This contemplative posture is most pleasing to the eyes, and the silent expression is most pleasing to the heart.
The most valuable thing in life is to live with a pure and clear heart, which is more indifferent and less troubled; more leisurely and less fighting.
A heart without dust is a happy person with the most fulfilling thoughts, the most elegant mood and the most elegant temperament.
If your heart is not stained by dust, the breeze will come naturally.

"Reward Zhang Shaofu"
Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty
In his later years, he just loved to be quiet and didn't care about anything.
If you have no long-term plan, you will return to the old forest.
The pine wind blows the belt, and the mountain moon shines on the piano.
You ask the poor to understand the truth, and the fisherman's song goes deep into Pu Shen.
No matter what happens in the world, no matter the wind and rain. With a Zen heart of clouds and water, open up a world, quietly admire the water, moon and flowers, and guard the pure land of your heart.

"The Divine Illumination is like a Poem of Enlightenment"
Everywhere we meet, we reach our hometown.
It’s already done, so why bother thinking about it.

After the new rain in the empty mountains, autumn comes late.

Sitting alone in the Zen room and listening to the Sanskrit rhyme, the morning bell and evening drum sound the Nirvana body.
It is not the monk's business to let flowers bloom and fall, only the Buddha's heart returns to its true nature.
True tranquility does not lie in the mountains and rivers, but in one's own heart.

"Poem of the Sixth Patriarch's Dharma"
Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand.
Originally there was nothing, so how could it cause dust.
This world is a station, and everyone is just a temporary passenger passing through this station. We came here in a hurry, and one day we will leave slowly and calmly.
Life is short, so why should we waste our good time on trivial matters? If the heart is not stained with dust, where will it be stained with dust? If the heart is not stained with dust, the breeze will come naturally.
As the saying goes: "All things are empty, everything is created by the mind."
A person with a calm mind dares to give up. He can let go of the past and pick up the brilliant tomorrow; Become pure and peaceful.
Live with a quiet heart, a quiet sentiment, and a heart that is not surprised by favors and disgrace. In this way, you will be safe.
