Classic quotations from Buddhist scriptures for self-cultivation

1. There is no perfect choice once and for all in this world. You can't have both flowers and fruits. You can't get all the benefits. You should learn to weigh the pros and cons, learn to give up something, and then you can get something. You should learn to accept the deformity and sadness of life, and then, be calm. Because this is life.

2. What you expect, what will be farther away from you; The person you are attached to will suffer the most. Meeting is a prelude to parting, and parting is the beginning of meeting. Learn to let go, let go of unrealistic expectations, and let go of fruitless persistence. Look down, look at it, see through it and don't care about it; Everything will get better gradually. Don't look back, the last second has passed, only happiness and happiness now.

3, if the heart cares, there are grievances everywhere; If you relax, it is always spring. Nine times out of ten things in the world are not satisfactory. People who are obedient to us can let us get what we want. If we don't care, no one or thing can satisfy you. If you live a lifetime, you need peace of mind, so why bother yourself? The heart is one inch wide and the road is ten feet wide.

4, there is a chance to come, no chance to go. That's the way things are in the world. What should come will come naturally, and hopes and demands that should not come are useless. Fate, do not push, miss, don't ask. Come, welcome, go and see. Everything is fate, let it be. Things in the world can't be satisfied after all, and it is bound to be sweet to stick to it. What we can do is to try our best to be ourselves, let nature take its course and try our best to have no regrets.

5. What should come will always come, and what should go will always go, starting with fate and ending with fate, following fate and not demanding; Meet any situation, face, accept, deal with, let go, not demanding. Borrowed a pair of empty skins, arrived empty, lived for decades, and that's all.

In this world, no matter how you live, there are people gossiping, and no matter what you do, there are people telling you what to do. No matter how well you do, there are always people who say that you are not good, and no matter how right you do, there are always people who say that you are not right. There is no comment, no discussion. It is difficult to be a man, weigh the hearts of thousands of people and adjust everyone's mouth. So! How to be happy and how to live. Love with addition, hate with subtraction, and be grateful with multiplication.

7. Everything in life is not calculated, but good; I didn't ask for it, I fixed it. The breadth of mind determines the pattern of fate. You can have as much as you can tolerate. Everything is open-minded, thoughtful, affordable and open-minded. Learn to forbear temperament, know how to restrain desires, be rational when retiring, be generous when modest, get rid of distractions and selfishness, and pay less attention to comparison, so as to adapt to the situation.

8. Letting go of yourself is also a kind of release. Life will inevitably encounter pain and trouble, but you don't have to torture yourself for it. If you keep staring at a few ink spots on the white wall, darkness will occupy your field of vision; If you always cling to certain fragments of your life, you will lose your whole life. Putting yourself down and not torturing yourself is also a kind of release. -Master Yuan Ping

9. Life depends on each other, and laughter and tears are intertwined. You don't have to be too happy to get it. If you have some, you will inevitably give up others. There is no need to grieve for what is lost, and nothing can stay forever. Don't define the happiness of life by the success or failure of your career and the amount of income. They are only vassals and have no necessary connection with happiness. As long as everything is normal, no complaints, no jealousy, no slack, no indifference, happiness can be attached.

10, since there is nowhere to escape, it is better to be happy. Since there is no pure land, it is better to meditate. Since I didn't get what I wanted, I might as well be relieved. When you return to inner peace, no longer care about gains and losses, no longer criticize others, you will live a perfect life, and the present is where you belong. People's happiness is given by themselves, and their inner satisfaction is complete; If you are not satisfied, it is difficult to get real happiness. The so-called perfection is not the absence of bitterness and joy, but the companionship of bitterness and joy, sadness and joy.

1 1. Only when you are calm can you hear your heart. Perhaps, what you are crazy about is not what you really want, but just accommodating others or society; Perhaps, you are worried, and you don't really want to love or should love, but you don't want to for a while. When you sit down and watch the flowers bloom and fall, you will see clearly. Smiling at flowers is a kind of quiet happiness; It is a comfortable feeling to watch the flowers fall quietly.

12, one thing, no matter how beautiful, once there is no result, don't pester it again, it will be tired after a long time; One thing, even if you remember it again and can't grasp it, you should put it down at the right time, which will break your heart for a long time. Sometimes, giving up is another kind of persistence. If you miss the splendor of summer flowers, you will definitely walk into autumn leaves. Everything, anyone, will become the past. Don't embarrass it. No matter how difficult it is, we must learn to get out.

13, some things don't need to be cared about, time will tell; Some people don't need to see it. Different roads lead to different goals. Things in the world, the world; Human reason, since the Enlightenment. In the face of injury, smile and be open-minded; It is extraordinary to ignore abuse in the face. Patience is not cowardice, but tolerance; Concession is not incompetence, but generosity. "Care" about right and wrong, "ignore" your own safety. May life be as peaceful as water.

14, Buddha said, bitterness is not bitterness, and joy is not joy, but a temporary obsession. If you cling to an idea, you will be trapped in an idea; Once you put it down, it's in your heart. Things change at will, the environment is created by the heart, and troubles are born by the heart. Some people, some things, can't be met. In this case, relax and let nature take its course. No matter when and where, you should have a carefree heart, keep an open mind and don't let yourself live too tired.

15, the pain of life comes from being harsh on yourself. Eyes are aesthetic, the result is entangled in ugliness, and finally they are all ugly; The heart is glad to collect, but it is trapped in disputes and finally full of pain. Always obsessed with difficulties, we squeezed out the happiness that originally belonged to us. The noise of light, sitting quietly; Give up luxury, but enjoy warmth; Losing care and gaining happiness is life.

16, there is no if in life, only consequences and results. The past will never come back, and even if it does, it will no longer be perfect. Life has its ups and downs, and you can't lose your mood without anything. The greatest happiness in life is to firmly believe that someone loves me. Don't forget the past, but let it go. Because there is tomorrow, today will always be just the starting line. Simple life is charming, simple heart is happy; Learning to be simple is not simple.

17, life will inevitably encounter ups and downs. Don't be dissatisfied and angry with many things in life, and don't be upset and depressed. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, you have to face it; Good or bad, it will pass. It is better to let go of the burden and enjoy life than to bend over and suffer with life. It is better to face life calmly than to complain about the unfairness of fate in vain. Learn to let go, and the road of life will get wider and wider.

18, many things, not what you want, you can do. A lot of things can be obtained even if you don't want them. Many people can stay if they don't stay. Don't take everything so seriously. Life is most afraid of wanting to care about everything, but can't catch anything. Lost scenery, lost people, and no desire to wait all live at the end of fate. Why be too persistent? What should come will come naturally, and what should go will not stay. Let go of obsession, fate is the best life.
