Worldly Noise, Restless Hearts
Leaving those who refuse to cherish you is a graceful departure; turning away from those who don't appreciate you is a beautiful retreat. In life, there will be times when you must let go, whether by leaving or turning away. It's best to do so with a smile and elegance – a sign of respect for the relationship.
True loyalty: generosity when abundant, humility when lacking; genuine sincerity: lavish when wealthy, modest when poor; sincere righteousness: proud when rising, restrained when falling; true refinement: not hasty in appearance, not rushed in the heart; truly kind: generous when giving, patient when receiving; genuine happiness: grand for festivals, subtle for everyday.
In a chaotic world with restless hearts, the only secrets to peace are 'broadness' and 'detachment.' Without broadness, bitterness becomes sweetness; without detachment, restlessness consumes you. The more you're open-hearted, the wider your path will be; the more serene you are, the more beautiful life becomes. Deepen your practice, and life will be both tranquil and vast through tolerance.
To do things is to do them with others; to accept things as they are is to be calm; to know how to enter the world is to be wise. To be calm is to be serene; to be calm is to be peaceful. If your heart is young, time won't age you. No matter how the years pass, keep your heart filled with springtime's blossoms, and you'll find the happiness you seek.
