The reason why people live a tiring life is, firstly, because they are too serious, and secondly, because they want too much. The Buddhist scriptures say: "Impermanence causes suffering." It is to let us know: life is flawed, nothing is eternal, the body will get sick and old, the appearance and emotions will change, money cannot be kept forever, and power will be lost one day... Someone asked the Buddha, what have you gained in this life? Buddha said: "I have gained nothing in this life. All I have lost is my ignorance." Nothing is more reassuring and joyful than losing ignorance. If we lose our ignorance sooner and more often in our life, we can enjoy the blessing of the Buddha, change our obsession with "everything is permanent, and nothing will change", and finally understand that "impermanence is infinite possibilities". From then on, we will no longer blindly rush and start to work hard, turning impermanence into miracles, and turning a life full of defects into perfection. From now on, I live happily and everything is the best arrangement.

Some are cities that are not easily accessible to Chinese travelers, such as Jerusalem, Casablanca, Damascus, Isfahan, Quebec City, Sarajevo, Toledo, Yerevan, etc. Some are personal preferences, including an ancient capital in China. The writing of this book is mainly based on personal travel, but also includes the history, culture, science, art, customs and customs of the city and the country where it is located.
