Nan Huaijin’s 50 quotes on life, see the world magnanimously, and live life calmly

Nan Huaijin is a master of Chinese studies who is well-read, well versed in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and has profound spiritual practice. He has many wonderful discussions on life, mixed with his explanations of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism classics. Every sentence reflects his knowledge and cultivation, and every word reflects a transparent texture.

Such a wise man's life remarks are extremely rare and rare today. They deserve our great attention and repeated understanding.

1. Relying on others will never make a difference

People can only turn to themselves. No one is reliable. There is no reliable person in the world, not even your parents, not even your children. You can't rely on yourself, you can only rely on yourself. ...If you don't stand up yourself and expect others to rely on others, you will always be a useless person.

2. It is normal for people to be snobbish.

In fact, snobbishness is the norm in people’s interactions and interpersonal communication. It is extremely perverted to only care about morality and disregard snobbery. Things are valuable when they are rare, so they are absolutely valuable morally.

3. Measurement determines height.

Everyone’s tolerance, knowledge, scope, and mind are different. If you want to achieve great success and great achievements, you must cultivate your own tolerance, as big as the ocean.

4. The enjoyment of loneliness

Let me tell you an experience: in the dead of night, when a person runs to the top of a mountain or in the desert, it is so peaceful that he does not know his tears. How could it flow down?

This is not sadness or love, it is an incomparable tranquility and comfort. Every part of the body is naturally opened, and the pain and troubles in my heart are gone.

It is what the ancients called "it rains at night on an empty mountain, and everything is silent". Only the sound of rain hitting the leaves in the empty mountain was heard, and nothing else. That is the enjoyment of loneliness, which cannot be bought by money.

5. Only by being ethereal can one be at ease

If a person’s thoughts and attitude are not ethereal, it is over. It is like using a cup as a boat in the water of a small pit, and it will never move. . Only when you have a lofty and ethereal realm can you fly freely in this human world and this universe, and only then can you feel at ease.

6. Nothing lasts forever

Everyone hopes that everything good will not change. Like human emotions, we all hope that the river of love will last forever, and we hope that it will not change; we also hope that age will not change, and we will stay young forever, etc. It shows that people are always so stupid! If we understand this truth and know that there is nothing unchanging in heaven and earth, change is of course, unchanged? There is no such thing!

7. Those who achieve great things must adapt to change

"His achievements are subject to change"... Great men in history: The first-class wise leaders know how to change in the next step. Leaders follow the changes and always stand at the forefront of change;

The second class of people are those who adapt to changes. If you change, I will change and follow the changes. The third class of people are those who remain in the same place after others change. If he didn't move, he would scold him behind him when someone walked by: "Master Ge, you changed so quickly. You changed before I was ready!"

8. Constrain yourself with faith

I found that a person with ideological beliefs has absolutely different achievements. When a person has nothing to take care of himself, it is easy for him to fail.

9. The energy of life comes from "quietness"

Where does energy come from? It comes from the static, from the void. Why do we have to sleep at night when we are so busy? Because people also need to be still, and it will not work without resting their brains. ...Human life often forgets tranquility, and instead tries to consume itself with dynamics.

Sometimes when dealing with a complex and difficult matter, I am puzzled by the solution, and suddenly my mind says that this can solve the problem. This is the role of static. So if you want to deal with complicated and difficult things, you must first calm down and think about nothing.

The more you think about it, the more your brain spins up, all your nerves spin up, and eventually you become sick or die.

11. The real practice is to train the mind in the world of mortals

The real practice is not only in the mountains, not only in temples, but also in society. We must live in practice and practice in life. ...No matter what profession you are engaged in, you must integrate your cultivation into your work, refine your nature in the face of realms and experiences, and refine your heart toward others. ...Don't be afraid of encountering obstacles that go against your destiny. They can temper your character, improve your level, and increase your wisdom.

12. With a good attitude, the world will be beautiful.

Don’t just think about yourself in everything, think about the other person. Only when you get rid of selfishness, self-interest, and self-love can you be at ease. ...how you treat others, others will treat you the same way. Don't always blame others, don't always find fault with others, look down on others, don't always want to change others, adjust your own mentality first, and repair your own heart. , all situations will change according to your heart.

13. The so-called practice - correcting yourself

If you tolerate everything and tolerate everything with a broad mind, you will not have anything you can’t figure out. He is a good person who sees everything as a good thing and sees every situation as a good situation. Being able to constantly look for your own shortcomings and constantly getting rid of your ego is practice. Otherwise, what is the point of practice?

14. Reading is to be a human being, not to make a living

Why should a person study? ...The most correct answer in tradition is the four words "reading and understanding". To understand the truth, you must first understand the principles of being a human being. If you want to ask the Chinese nation and the Chinese people, what is the purpose of education? Let us repeat it again: it is for "being a human being", not for "living".

15. Associate more with people who are beneficial to you

Associate more with people with mature personalities and reliable conduct to help you grow and be reliable in times of crisis. You can learn a lot from experience by interacting with the elderly more often.

16. Forget your own kindness, but never forget the kindness of others

"Don't think about the kindness you give, and never forget the kindness you receive." These two sentences have a profound impact on my life. They are both Buddha's The spirit of Confucianism, Taoism, and Confucianism. When you help others and give benefits to others, don’t even remember it in your heart, just throw it away. "Receiving favor" means getting a little benefit from others, which should always be remembered.

17. Contentment is wealth

As a person, you should leave room for things. Don’t take too much of good things and advantages. If you take too much, you will get into trouble. The so-called "the one who is content is rich."

18. Be a human being according to your duty

Only when you know your duty, understand the time and situation, and obey the destiny after fulfilling your duty, can you behave like a human being.

19. Working and resting on time is a human life

The daily climate of our body changes from 11 o'clock at night to 12 o'clock in the morning the next day. It is Yang Qi; afternoon belongs to Yin Qi. Nowadays, many young people in cities do not have enough yang energy. They feel dizzy and have no energy at all in the morning. After taking a nap in the afternoon, their energy gradually improves. When they go out for nightlife, their energy becomes better and better. These people are all The yin energy is very strong... This life is not called night life, it is a ghost life, with day and night reversed.

20. The best friendship

Chinese people talk about making friends. “The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.” Good friends are not fair-weather friends, and they do not come and go every day. They are usually very dull. But this does not mean that he is cold and heartless. He comes when a friend encounters difficulties or becomes ill. Normally it doesn't matter, maybe just look at each other and say hello, but there is real enthusiasm.

21. Only by being generous can you be popular

Young people should pay attention to one thing. If they want to make a career, they should know the principle of "wealth gathers and people scatter" - money is all gone. In your pocket, there are fewer interpersonal relationships in society, and there are no "real friends";

"When money is scattered, people gather together." This is how Mengchang Jun was. He scattered the money and solved other people's difficulties. Of course, I have no money, but I have many friends and interpersonal relationships. If I have difficulties, I have friends to help me.

22. The true meaning of life

Be strict with yourself; when blaming others for their mistakes, don’t be as serious as yourself. If you behave this way, you will be less resentful toward your superiors, colleagues, and subordinates. On the contrary, when a social atmosphere reaches a chaotic era, it often places heavy demands on others and light demands on oneself; it is very strict on others and easy on forgiveness of oneself.

23. Life is a fake show.

Life is like a play. The play has begun and you have to continue acting, but you have to be clear and clear. You know, you are acting... You must play your role well, but don't pretend to be real. In fact, the world is not our home, and all living beings are just passers-by. What is there to cling to and what is there to care about? , so what if you say less? What if we take a step back?

24. Swallow this breath

There is a very simple method. If you do it, it will be useful to you. When you are about to lose your temper, you should quickly do Qigong, open your mouth, exhale first, then inhale through your nose, swallow it, and then decide whether or not you want to lose your temper. ...That’s so exciting! When a person is angry, he takes a breath, it is not fake.

25. Don’t have sex with good friends

Some people can be classmates, and it’s good to be friends when they are young, but if you can’t walk the same path with them, you may not be able to have sex with them. *cause. If you have a business and you think you are good friends and work together to do it, the friends often turn into enemies later on, which is really not worth it.

26. The most rare thing is to be content with the ordinary.

Some are content with ease, some are content with poverty, and some are content with being ordinary. The most difficult thing about learning is being mediocre. People who are content with being mediocre can do anything.

27. Don’t help too much.

There is an old saying among Chinese country people, giving someone a bucket of rice is a benefactor, giving someone a load of rice is an enemy. He is always grateful for helping a friend and relieving him in his difficulties; but he is never satisfied with too much help.

28. Greed is harmful to the body

When you are in wealth and honor, you will harm yourself by not nourishing yourself. On the contrary, among the poor and the humble, "don't use profit to accumulate wealth." When people are poor and humble, they have to make money to live, but they cannot be too greedy. As the so-called "people die for money", excessive greed and overwork will also damage the health of the body and endanger life.

29. It is easy to work hard but hard to complain

The most difficult thing is to "work without complaining". We often say that we should not complain when we do things. Experience tells us that it is easy to work hard but difficult to complain. It doesn't matter if you do more things and feel tired. However, it is too much to endure being scolded for doing things. ...Those who did great things in history were able to work hard, and even more so, they were able to tolerate the resentment of the world without regrets.

30. The more you cry out about poverty, the poorer you become.

People should not cry out about poverty. People who are called poor are very poor. When people call themselves poor, they are dissatisfied, or when they want to give money, they are reluctant to give money and call themselves poor. As soon as he shouted like this, God gave him the magnetic field of poverty, and as a result he became poorer and poorer. If a person wants to be rich, he must first be content. Contentment is a sign of achievement. Be content with everything, and your life will gradually become richer and richer, otherwise you will become poorer and poorer.

31. Doing things for others is doing things for yourself

Everyone thinks that if they are good for themselves, they will get better and better. As everyone knows, people who are too good for themselves often do not receive blessings and become worse and worse. On the contrary, if you don't do your own good, but think about doing good for others, then God will not treat him badly, and he will slowly get better.

32. Those who do not play tricks are smart.

Those who have the highest sincerity are the most successful people. So I often tell young students not to play tricks and tricks... Who will be successful in the future? A stupid person, a person who doesn't play tricks and is very sincere in his dealings with others. This is the law of heaven and earth.

33. Hypocritical people will not end well.

It feels good to deal with hypocrisy, but the result will definitely not be good, even if it is good, it is "lucky". But "escaping by chance" is only a one-in-a-ten thousand chance. This kind of gambling behavior is too risky and not cost-effective.

34. Dissatisfaction is life

Chinese people have two famous sayings: "Unsatisfactory things often happen, but it can be said the same as others." If you lose everything in the world, there will be no one you can like. "... When a person lives in this society, he or she wants to have a good reputation, achieve high results, and be successful all the way, but that is impossible. A truly moral person, living in this society, often faces a lot of grievances, insults, and pains. He has no way to complain to others and has to pick them up himself.

35. The best practice of filial piety

It is true that there are bad parents in the world, but one must first practice filial piety, and filial piety cannot be just blind obedience. Being able to fulfill one's filial piety and tactfully correct the faults of one's parents is the true meaning of "taking care of one's relatives and not knowing others".

36. Not having a career is not scary, but having no ambition is scary.

Whether a young person has a career in his life is not a problem; whether he has a career in his life is a problem. Although he is ambitious, he may not be able to succeed in his career; but if he is not ambitious, he will be like an examination paper that has been thrown into the wastebasket. This young man is almost useless.

37. Suffering is a good thing

In the history of mankind, all those who have achieved great success, established great undertakings, and done great things have stood up from hardships. Only those who stand up from hardships understand the world's human feelings. So for a person's achievements, sometimes it is a good thing to suffer a little more when you are young and endure a little more setbacks and hardships. ...Those who really want to achieve great success, establish great careers, and do great things must have rich life experience.

38. Let go but never give up

Everyone has his own reasons and blessings. What you cling to will hurt you; whoever you cling to will make you sad. See everything as if it were a dream, and let go of all your delusions. But letting go does not mean giving up. You still have to do what you have to do and do it well.

39. Being a good person and doing things right is knowledge

Knowledge is not literature. Good articles are the person’s literature; knowledge is the person’s profound knowledge. ; As for knowledge, even if you don't know a word, you may still have knowledge - being a good person, doing things right, absolutely good, absolutely right, this is knowledge.

40. A gentleman does not blame others.

If a person can truly learn for the sake of learning, he will not blame others or blame others. Instead, he will ask himself, why can’t I stand up? Why didn't I achieve this? It is a matter of one's own knowledge, cultivation, and practice. I reflect deeply on myself, and I don’t have any thoughts of resentment in my heart. Taking the current concept as an example, this kind of psychology is an absolutely healthy psychology, and this is what makes a gentleman.

41. If a person does not deceive himself, he will be invincible.

Anyone who only does three things in his life will die: deceive himself, deceive others, and be deceived by others. ... People will "deceive" others because of their "self-deception", and of course they will "be deceived" in the end. If you don’t deceive yourself, who can deceive you? In other words, people must love themselves before they can love others, and in the end they can naturally be loved by others. It can also be said that people must have self-respect before they can respect others, and only in this way can people respect you.

42. Being stubborn will not accomplish great things

When we study the personalities of some successful and failed figures in history, we will find very interesting contrasts. Some people like to accept better opinions from others. However, there are too few people who can change immediately, withdraw their own opinions immediately, and use other people's better opinions. Liu Bang is one of these few people. Xiang Yu will never change his own ideas and will never accept other people's opinions.

43. Brag less and do more practical things

Human psychology is the same at all times and in all countries. Most people like to brag and seldom follow the facts; ideals are very high and must be based on reality. It’s difficult to do it in action. Therefore, Confucius said that a true gentleman should talk less and do more real things.

44. Believe in the beauty of the world

Don’t always say that husband and wife are enemies, children are creditors, and don’t say that money is a poisonous snake and the human heart is sinister. Believe in the beautiful side of this world, the kind side.

45. Living with Right Livelihood

True cultivation lies in being able to detect one's own mistakes and "accept the righteousness" between the temptation and the forbearance. No matter what happens to you, don't blame God or others, don't take your anger out on others, and don't blame others. This is living a right life.

46. There is a realm in everything you do

A person practices Taoism or studies, and there are different realms step by step. Like an art student, if you have a new inspiration today, or if you paint a painting, you will have a special experience, that is, it has its realm. A cement worker suddenly put down a brick today and wiped it with cement. It was extremely smooth and made him feel very comfortable. It turns out that this is the best way to build bricks. This was the state he was in when he was a cement worker.

47. Arrogance is a kind of inferiority complex

I often say that an arrogant person simply has an inferiority complex. People who do not have inferiority complex will not be arrogant, because people with low self-esteem know that they have nothing. , and I am deeply afraid that you will look down on me, so I am arrogant. ...So all arrogant people are pitiful people and have a sense of inferiority; because they have a sense of inferiority, they in turn become arrogant and do not understand life. This is the truth.

48. Worrying about gain and loss are all due to selfish desires

Some people do not even have the most basic self-cultivation. When they cannot get fame and power, they "worry about gain" and are afraid of gaining. Instead, make up your mind and think of ways to climb to this position. When you reach this position and have the power in your hands, you are "worried about losing it", fearing that you will lose the power you have gained. Worrying about gains and losses means that you have too much selfish desire, do not have truly great ideas, great personality and great goals, and only care about personal interests.

49. Those who are loyal to the slaughter of dogs are mostly scholars who have negative hearts.

According to my decades of experience, I still recognize the two sentences of the ancients: "Every person who is loyal to the slaughter of dogs is a scholar." Dogs are mostly scholars who are heartless. "...It is the poor who sympathize with and pity others. Only the poor will sympathize with the poor, and only those who are in pain will sympathize with the suffering people. Dog-slaughterers are those who kill pigs and dogs without reading any books." …The more intellectuals know, the more they will explain their thoughts. When they are unwilling to do so, they will deliberately explain them. People with low knowledge can’t explain it, my friend! Why not? As a friend, there is no reason not to go, because his thoughts are not complicated.

50. The highest state is ordinaryness

The higher the knowledge, the more complex the thoughts. A person who has high knowledge and becomes a simple and dedicated person is the best person in the world. See the world with a pure heart and live life with joy

Changing your mentality means changing your life. The past cannot be undone, tomorrow is still unknown, only the present is real. Don't pay for yesterday, don't compete with the past, if you accidentally fall, get up and keep running. Even if suffering is destined to come tomorrow, there is no need to pay for it today. Try to take good care of today, and tomorrow will surprise you.

What people need to change is often not the environment, but their own hearts. Life is imperfect, life is very limited, and life is composed of a series of causes and conditions. We need to experience a more profound experience. Life, develop inner spirituality, rather than tirelessly and happily pursue all external material life.

Only after climbing some mountains do you realize how difficult it is. After crossing some rivers, you know the trek. Only after crossing some hurdles can we know how to transcend. After some things, you know the experience. Only after reading some people can you know the experience. Only after reading some books can you understand wealth. Only after a lifetime can you know what happiness is.

Simple things become complicated when you think deeply about them; complicated things become simple when you look down upon them; and nothing happens when you put them down. Some things cannot be regarded as things; some things can only be laughed at; some things must be done with heart. Take control of yourself, adjust your mentality, only by being a person can you do things, and only by doing things can you become an adult. How can everything in the world be as everyone wants, but we must have no regrets in our hearts and no regrets in life.

Letting others take a step is actually giving yourself a step. Life is a kind of balance. If you have this, you will definitely miss that; if you want to get everything, you will often lose more. Don't expect absolute fairness in life. Fairness is like the two ends of a scale. The more you pay on one end, the more hope you can have on the other end.

Don’t complain, don’t be impetuous, don’t be afraid of being alone, there is no absolute fairness in the world, fairness only exists at one point. When your heart is at peace, the world will be at peace. Learn to give others opportunities. Ranking and honor are like clouds in the sky. You cannot lie down on them. If you lie down, they will fall down.

The deep meaning of life often lies in staying true to yourself amidst temptations, calming down and living sincerely. You need to cultivate your Qi first, and then your Qi field. To live a life that is worthy of Qi, you must first be generous; do good deeds to maintain a kind heart. Be content and happy. The so-called contentment does not mean that we do not want to make progress, but that we do not envy others and know how to cherish, appreciate and be grateful for what we have. Being contented with things will always make you happy, and you will be able to live in a high-quality life without any expectations.

See the world with a pure heart and live a life with joy. No matter how beautiful the garden is, there are always unclean things; no matter how happy the life is, there are always unsatisfactory things. The world always has good and bad coexistence. Where your attention is, your heart is there. Look at the world with a pure heart, and the hustle and bustle of the mortal world will not be able to shake your heart; live life with a happy heart, and the unsatisfactory life will not affect your mood.

Less worries, more happiness; less pressure, more relaxation; less complaints, more comfort. Less inferiority complex, more confidence; less comparison, more freedom; less complexity, more simplicity. If a person has capacity, he will be happy; if a person is cultivated, he will have temperament; if a person is loving, he will be kind; if a person is indifferent, he will be calm. If you are casual, you can have a calm mood. If you are diligent, your life can be brilliant. If you are open-minded, your life can be happy.

Don’t take your word lightly, and your promise will bear fruit. Regardless of whether someone loves us or not, we must work hard to be a lovable person. Don’t blame anyone, don’t laugh at anyone, don’t envy anyone, just shine under the sun, run in the wind and rain, dream your own dreams, and walk your own path.

Confidence starts with your feet, not in the eyes of others. Have your best hopes, do your best, prepare for the worst, and have the best attitude. Remember what should be remembered, forget what should be forgotten, change what can be changed, and accept what is true. The sun is always new and every day is a beautiful day. See the world with a pure heart and live life with joy
