Fragrance of flowers, bamboo shadows, and a hazy yellow moon; mountain mist and streams wandering at ease. In a quiet moment, my blunt brush trembles without my noticing, as I sit and watch the shifting sands turn golden. Who knows whether the new willows or the drunken locust trees are more lovely? Dawn's rosy glow and evening's hues are truly heart-rending. Across the vast sea, flowers embrace the trees, yet they cannot compare to a single word from my beloved.
One person, one world; one thing, one universe. They say the study of the mind is useless, but if a person has no heart, can they still be called human? Take the causes of illness, for example: at least half of them stem from the mind. People who are ill often begin by becoming troubled for one reason or another, their thoughts growing unsettled, and gradually all kinds of symptoms develop. That is why the mind is the foundation of illness. Keep an open heart and take everything in stride. Even if you are ill, there is no need to dwell on it. As the saying goes, those with narrow hearts see loneliness as suffering, while those with calm hearts see it as a pleasure. In his eyes, every hardship is simply a trial for people, and every happiness is built upon overcoming such trials. Perhaps this is the truth behind the saying that hardship breeds prosperity and ease breeds ruin. But hardship refers to the state of the outside world, while the heart should always remain calm and unruffled. In life and death, remain detached; see neither good nor evil.
