"Visible, whether adults or children, whether in urban or rural areas, there are a lot of people because of ignorance and created the pain of countless sentient beings and their own bad karma. Adults are deeply impressed, and I can't change it. It's nothing. However, how can we inspire children's sadness so that they will not fall because of ignorance? Judging from the present situation, due to the loss of sadness, our rural children have lost their simplicity and become more and more vulgar; Children in the city have lost sympathy and become more and more cunning. Where will our society go in the vast world? " (See the article "Song of Sorrow and Joy")
"Where does the concept of pure goodness come from? The concept of pure goodness is the opening of wisdom and compassion from the heart. Many Buddhist disciples often make a wish and say,' I want to work for Buddhism.' A guru once said that this concept is not broad enough. Disciples of Buddha should make vows to serve all sentient beings, exchange their blessings for the sufferings of all sentient beings, and even when exhaling, visualize giving their good roots to all sentient beings with the wind. When I breathe in, I visualize all the sufferings of all sentient beings flowing into me, so that I will enter a state of pure goodness over time. "(see article" pure goodness ")
"We don't have Huigen's complete awakening, but we are not blunt roots of complete dreams. Most of us are on the verge of dreaming and waking up, between dreaming and waking up. In the life here and now, we don't all live in muddy and filthy land. At some moments, our hearts will fly to the realm of clear Wan Li and rainbow sunrise. Occasionally, we will have moments as soft as grass, as bright as the moon and as twinkling as stars. (See the article "Between Dreams and Wakes")
"After bidding farewell to the makeup artist, I walked on the dark surface on my way home, and I had such a profound understanding: all appearances in this world are not independent, and they must have profound internal significance. Then, the best way to change the appearance is not to work hard on the appearance, but to reform from the inside. " Of course, it is impossible to achieve the expected results only by superficial efforts. (See the article "Make-up of Life")
"The same is true in real life. We often feel uneasy because of someone else's eyes, a joke and an action, even if we don't think about tea and rice, we can't sleep well; In fact, these eyes, jokes and actions are meaningless in many cases. The reason why we are in turmoil is just because we care. If both sides care, it will lead to a situation of' narrow road meeting'. " (See the article "My heart is like an autumn moon")
"It can be seen that it is not easy to be really silent, indifferent and unaffected by external speech flow. Being influenced by the outside world is like casting a net into the air. We must come out empty-handed and come back empty-handed. We just feel that the world is in vain and sigh that people are not old and the world is cold. Zen masters and their classics tell us that true nature is like clear water, like a mirror, like a moon. When have we ever seen the sea scolded, the mirror praised and the moon praised? If the sea could be moved, it wouldn't be so vast; Spiegel wouldn't be so clean if it could stimulate; If the moon could follow people, it wouldn't shine so gently.
"Two sleeves are left, and the wind is bright and bright; Smile at the sky and be happy all your life; A pair of cloth shoes, mountains and rivers are comfortable; I have a pearl that shines on thousands of waters in Qian Shan ... These are the fields of the Zen master. Although we can't reach it, our hearts yearn for it. If we can keep more of ourselves in our life, we should not be influenced by others. In the clear moment, we can also see the flowers of Prajna bloom. " (See the article "My heart is like an autumn moon")

"Born in this era, why is' Qing Huan' so hard to find? Eyes should be clear and happy, green mountains and green waters can't be found; Listen clearly, be happy, and not have harmony; The nose should be clear and pleasant, and no clean air can be found; The tongue should be clear and happy, and you can't find Artemisia annua bamboo shoots; If you want to be happy, you can't find a cool and pure land; If you want happiness, you can't find wisdom and understanding. If you want to enjoy happiness, the only way is to stay in your own small world and wash your mind, because the more material world we have, the more our faint happiness will be lost. " (See the article "Qing Huan")

Eisenstein is one of them. " (See the article "Montage of the Heart")
"I like driving or walking on country roads at dusk. At this time, I can slow down and savor some changes in time and space. Whether it is time or space, dusk is an alarming node. In time, dusk indicates the disappearance of a day, and daytime hides in darkness, which makes us feel sad because we are forced by time. In terms of space, dusk seems to make our space suddenly narrow, and our vision can no longer be freely cherished. It felt like a big field of vision in a movie was suddenly jumped into a close-up. The vast world that we don't care about during the day becomes the focus of the fragment at dusk-we will see orange sunset, surging Shan Lan, colorful clouds, dark green mountain lines and floating tree shadows, all of which are like a freeze. " (See "When Mother Moon Comes Out at Dusk").
"Buddhist scriptures tell us:' There is love in life', which means that people will be reincarnated into this world because of love. Therefore, anyone living in this world will inevitably be entangled in many love events. These affairs make us ups and downs in love, and make us intoxicated and confused in love. If we can't keep a clear distance in love, we will spend our lives under the pressure of love, greed, hatred, stupidity, pain, depravity or ignorance. " (See "When Mother Moon Comes Out at Dusk").
"My father had three favorite orchids. One is Lan, the other is Lan, and the other is Lan. He planted many valuable orchids, why did he only love these three orchids? I remember once he said to me,' There are many orchids that are very bright and beautiful, but they become tacky after a long time; Some orchids are rare because they are few in number, but they have no characteristics.

"My mother is one of countless ordinary people in this world, but she is also one of countless great mothers in this world. She is so traditional, has strong resilience and endurance, and can get out of the hard rural life without resentment.

"When I was young, I knelt down to smell the fragrance of the earth and cried for it; There is a heated debate about the direction of national development, and I am worried about this direction.

"In life, we feel our growth over time (in fact, it is a kind of aging), and we will find that there are different friends at each stage. Although friendship will not be lost, it will follow the trend and often turn to the point where we are shocked when we look back. Sadly, those close friends are often far away, but casual acquaintances are close at hand. Therefore, life often leads us into a lonely situation in life. "Leave as soon as you meet" and "leave at the door" can really make people feel the value of friends. When friends are not around, all you can feel is pine nuts in your hand or pine nuts falling in the forest. (See the article "Huai Army and Huai Army")

"Happiness in life often comes from seemingly meaningless things, such as memories of some love and intimate friends. For example, someone suddenly gave us a cup of green tea. For example, I suddenly heard a favorite music from the Bingguo store on the path. For example, I read a touching poem in a book. For example, I heard an old woman say an enlightening word on the mulberry shop. For example, I accidentally saw the opening of a lotus ...

These seemingly inconspicuous things are seen in a grass because there is a hall of love in my heart. " (See the article "Every family has a bright moon and every family has a breeze").
"People's poverty does not come from the hardships of life, but from the loss of human dignity in poor life; People's wealth does not come from the accumulation of wealth, but from not losing people's affection in a rich life.
