Zen language related to cultivation
The following are Zen sayings about cultivation compiled by the editor. Welcome to read and collect.
1. Let them come, let them go. Don't be persistent, don't worry. Only when your heart calms down can you know that you are still you. You haven't been led by them, and only then can you become the true you.
2. Since ancient times, one's life has been the most taboo: half poor, half rich, half self assured, half life, half day, half opportunity, half taking, half giving, half doing good, half deaf, half mute, half confused, half wise, half foolish, half sage.
3. Don't get to know anyone too quickly, don't think that the topic is the same at the beginning, there are many similarities, and you are the best friends who hate meeting each other too late. Language is often false, what we experience together is true.
4. A person's life is not about how many days they have lived, but about how many days they have remembered. Every day you remember will become an irreplaceable day in your life.
5. Always remember to leave some room for life, not to be pleased when you get it, and not to be depressed when you lose it. Leave some benefits for others to take advantage of, leave some paths for others to follow, and leave some time for oneself to think.
6. Life sometimes forces you to surrender power, let go of opportunities, and even abandon love. You cannot get everything. In life, you should learn to give up, just like cleaning up files on a computer.
7. A person with a broad heart like the sea, no matter what kind of storms they encounter, can always have various opportunities and maintain a heart that is not forced or delusional to strive for progress. Ignoring the vicissitudes of life, my heart is safe and sound.
8. Reciting Buddha until one's mind remains calm, is it not meditation? When one can forget everything while meditating, why is it not reciting the reality of Buddha? Zen practitioners, the Zen of purity, and Zen and purity complement each other. However, people tend to be paranoid and hold different views, praising and destroying them, much like water and fire are incompatible.
9. Why sweep the floor? For the sake of cleanliness. What is the net land for? For the sake of calmness. Why calm down? Only when the mind is calm can one see sentient beings. Only when one sees sentient beings can one explore life and death, respect the heart of heaven and earth, have no worries, no worries, no fears, stay away from reversing dreams, and ultimately achieve nirvana.
10. There are three ways to be happy: be willing to let go and forget. There are four elements to happiness: change what can be changed, improve what cannot be changed, bear what cannot be improved, and let go of what cannot be borne.
11. Take the right path, let go of careless hands, make friends with the right path, cut off friends without righteousness, drink pure tea, abstain from fancy wine, open the door to convenience, and close the mouth of right and wrong.
12. There is a cycle of causality, who has been spared by the heavens? Do good deeds with self-awareness, do evil deeds with peace of mind, prefer to be betrayed by others, never let others down, use integrity to conquer the world, use products to persuade people, be worthy, only then can one hold their heads high, have peace of mind, and live a good life!
13. As time goes by, I increasingly love the clear and clean jade face in the pool of blue waves. In the charm of lotus, I realize the simplicity and satisfaction of life. Let the trivialities fade away, let the years be quiet, and a peaceful life.
14. Never indulge yourself and make excuses for yourself. Be strict with yourself. Over time, self-discipline becomes a habit, a way of life, and your personality and intelligence become more perfect.
15. The huge waves are surging, and those on board are not afraid, while those outside the ship are very afraid; Someone cursed during the banquet, but the people on the table didn't pay attention, while the people outside the table were speechless. Therefore, even if a gentleman is trapped in the market, their heart should remain detached from the outside world.
16. To be a happy person, one should dare to say goodbye to all suffering, maintain rationality, not be blind, disregard the comments of others, not envy the happiness of others, and be good at discovering one's own small joys in life. True happiness lies in yourself; When the heart calms down, the world becomes wider.
17. It doesn't matter where you come from, what matters is where you are going. The most important thing in life is not where you stand, but the direction you are going. As long as one does not lose direction, they will never lose themselves.
18. Yesterday is getting more and more, tomorrow is getting less and less. The road I have walked is long, I have met more people, and I have inadvertently discovered that the most beautiful scenery in life is the calmness and composure in my heart.
19. All laws are idealistic. All the actions of a Bodhisattva, as well as the bodies and wonderful uses of all Buddhas, cannot be separated from the present mind, and all Buddhas attain liberation and freedom from the mind. By observing one's own mind with wisdom, one should not be tainted by any color or confused by any form. Being able to understand this principle leads to entering the Tao.
20. Be your own ferryman, if you can't be the sun, be the brightest lamp; if you can't be the big tree, be the smallest grass; be unknown, it's also hard work, ordinary and mediocre is also a lifetime.
21. If you have pain in your heart, there is no need to complain to everyone. If you're not in it, how can you empathize with it. When life makes you hit a wall, break your head, and bleed blood, don't be afraid. Without these setbacks, how can you develop a strong body of steel and iron. All things are bitter, only humans can overcome them on their own.
22. Treat life well, happiness is once, and trouble is once. Since you don't have a round-trip ticket, since you have already moved, move forward happily.
23. Organize your emotions, forget about unpleasant things, don't carry too many unnecessary burdens, learn to simplify things, eliminate irritability and complexity, return to simplicity, say what you can, do what you can, take the right path, and be the person you want to be.
24. Use wisdom to reflect on one's own heart, meditate and enjoy oneself, strengthen oneself with diligence, cleanse oneself with humiliation, purify oneself with precepts, and liberate oneself with generosity.
25. Learn to let go of things that cannot be seen, and learn to look down on things that cannot be solved. Life gains and losses, we will eventually have nothing. Learning to be tolerant is understanding towards others, learning to forget is tolerance towards oneself.
26. Buddha said that everything requires a&quo; Tolerance; Only by enduring the unbearable words of others can one become a superior person. Think carefully, there's nothing worth getting angry about. Don't let resentment take a place. A person who can tolerate others will definitely receive their tolerance, and at the same time, they will learn to be tolerant of themselves.
27. In this world, many things may seem complex and intertwined, difficult to distinguish, but smart people can easily find the key to the problem, find a tangled thread, and find ways and tricks to solve complex problems.
28. A person's blessings stem from their past good deeds, just like charging a phone, today's electricity was charged yesterday. And when the electricity runs out, it's gone. If you want to charge it tomorrow, you have to charge it today. Therefore, the Buddha tells us that the future's happiness comes from the current act of cutting off evil and doing good.
29. With a sincere and sincere heart, recalling the compassionate and vow power of Amitabha Buddha, and following in the footsteps of Buddha, one can achieve great enlightenment and perfection in practice.
30. Living, there is no need to strive for clarity in everything. When the water is clear, there are no fish; when the person is clear, there are no friends. Struggling with family, winning, losing family ties; Struggling with your loved one, winning the battle, and feeling weak; Struggling with friends, winning the battle, losing the bond. Arguing is reason, losing is emotion, and hurting oneself.
In the end, all those we love and those who love us will leave in ways we don't know or know. This may cause us grief, but it cannot make our willpower sink. We cannot prevent anyone from leaving, the only thing we can do is to treat them well before they leave.
Life is like tea, tea has only two postures: sinking and floating. Tea drinkers have two positions: pick up and put down. When sinking, be calm; when floating, be indifferent. Life is just a cup of tea, whether it's full or small, why bother! Whether it's strong or light, it has its own flavor. Whether it's urgent or slow, so what?
33. When we live with a positive attitude, we will discover many beautiful things; And when we live with a negative mindset, we will find many things that are frustrating; The joy and troubles of life all depend on your attitude towards life.
34. We always live our lives in constant repetition, and the blurred face in this moment may become clear in the next moment; People who cannot be forgiven at this moment may be forgiven in the next moment; The fact that cannot be accepted at this moment may become easier to understand in the next moment.
35. The poetic charm of emptiness and reality filters out the hustle and bustle of the mortal world. The clear sound of light ink and water marks blows like a lotus wind, dyeing the heart into green. A thin layer of green smoke blooms a lotus of wisdom.
36. In this noisy world, we all need a place suitable for ourselves to place our souls. Perhaps it is a quiet mansion, perhaps it is an unwritten scripture, perhaps it is a maze path, as long as it is the direction of one's heart, it is a post station, no longer so lost for the future.
37. Everything that is unclear about one's nature rolls back and forth in the five desires. The five desires are wealth, beauty, fame, food, and sleep. From this, the five desires give birth to seven emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, joy, love, and evil. Seven emotions bind five desires, so life and death cannot be achieved.
38. When we are in a trough, there is no need to be too pessimistic. One day, we will move forward; When you are at the peak of the wave, don't forget yourself, there will always be a day when it comes down.
39. In the faint scenery, watch the gentle breeze brushing by, flowers blooming and falling, day after day. What we gain, what we care about, and what we forget, let it go with the wind. Looking at the gains and losses in life, everything is destined by fate, so there is no need to be overly concerned. Life is inherently illusory, neither coming nor going is empty.
