Master Hongyi’s six famous sayings for saving people are as follows:
1. Everything you want to control is actually controlled. When you don’t want anything, heaven and earth are yours.
2. We meet because we have debts to repay. We leave because we have paid off the debts in the previous life. If we don’t see each other in this life, we will definitely have debts if we meet in this life.
3. Destiny I saw you in the crowd. I saw you in the crowd. If there is love in the passing years, my heart will bloom. If someone leaves and your feelings become cold, just keep your heart warm.
4. Be detached from yourself and be kind to others. When nothing happens, it is clear; when there is something, it is clear. Be calm when you are proud and calm when you are frustrated.
5. Those who do not respect themselves will be humiliated. Those who are not afraid of themselves will bring disaster.
6. Learn to make concessions and seek benefits. Increase your share and decrease your blessings.
