Bai Luomei's classic quotations about life

Not for poetry, not for elegance, not for meditation, just to live life as plainly as a cup of boiled water or as simple as a bowl of porridge. Maybe only in this way, life will be less lost and more satisfying.

2. A hundred years of life are easy to pass by, and wealth and fame are like flowers and trees in a pot. The ups and downs are not up to you. Having tasted the different tastes of the world, I feel comfortable facing the ever-changing world. There is no superiority or inferiority among all things in the world, and there is no short or long thing. Everything depends on one's own practice. Whether it is green bamboos and bright moon, colorful purples and reds, or yellow flowers and cold dew, withered grass and withered poplars, they all have their indescribable beauty. One thought is fleeting, and the other is pure. It should be noted that the sun and moon of ordinary people are light and long-lasting.

3. Cooking tea is a beauty that grows with time. The purple clay pot on the table is glowing with the light of time, and the guqin is swaying with the long autumn water. An ancient song, as if here and there. A pot of spring tea is as quiet as time. A lamp of affection that will never leave you.

4. A landscape, a passerby, a story, no one has to explain it to anyone when you turn around. If we are destined to leave one day, then you and I at the end of the world will be well, and it doesn't matter whether the weather is sunny or not. ...Time is green because we have all been beautiful before, but we are no longer so young. Please believe that if you are well, it will always be sunny.

If you accidentally get lost and fall into the water, you should remember that there is a river called rebirth. In this world, you can grow anywhere; anywhere you go is your destination. Then, don't come to me, and I won't come to you. Watch the rest of the fleeting years and watch a period of peace and stability in this world.

7. There are many living beings. Some people live in confusion, while others live soberly, but it is just a way of surviving in the world.

After all, everyone has had the time to spend the full moon, and at that time, they should be prepared to be robbed one day.

10. Natural jade needs time to be carved. A prosperous life requires the nourishment of a Zen mind. And hand over the complicated strings and urgent pipes to the clear sounds of silk and bamboo; exchange the mundane fireworks for a jade pot with an ice heart.

Let yourself slowly emerge from the chaos of the world and become clean and clear.

11. Life should be so simple and unpretentious. It is time that has influenced us too much, giving us the courage to travel all over the world and the determination to travel all over the world.

12. Give me some old time, sitting alone under the wooden window with green moss growing, brewing a pot of leisurely tea. If you don't care, when will the swallow flying south be able to return home? Don't ask, where will that little boat be exiled to? Don't think about how much of those years are true and how much are false. If possible, I just want to be a plum blossom that has been left behind in the world, guarding the lonely years, watching the sunset with a returning person at the old ferry.

13. So far, we can’t really distinguish between falling flowers and running water, who is sentimental and who is unintentional. Or maybe there is no meaning, it is just a chance encounter in the world of mortals. Once separated, there will be no trace of the two.

14. A person has to experience too many separations and separations in his life, and those sudden separations often leave people unprepared. We don't meet each other everywhere in life, but sometimes we turn around and it's really a lifetime. From now on, we will never see each other again.

Forget the promises you made, and tell the people you used to work with that you will be in peace with each other without too much trouble.

19. I finally understand that some roads can only be walked alone. Those who have made an appointment to go together will accompany the rainy season and go through the years, but one day they will eventually be separated at a certain ferry. Walking alone on the worldly road, the green radish brushes the skirt of the clothes, and the blue clouds wet the promise.

20. Life is like a novel with ups and downs, with interlocking plots. If any step is missing or any part is deleted, it will not be able to reach the end as planned. Since it is destined, there is no need to worry about gains and losses, just let nature take its course. No matter how many gaps there are in the journey, you need to fill them yourself. There is no use in escaping. In this world, no one else can mature for you.

21. People’s temperaments are mostly innate. Some people are quiet in their bones, while some people have restlessness in their blood. ...If a quiet person is exiled in the noisy market, he will inevitably not be moved by the glitz.

22. Open a teahouse. In a place near the water, not ostentatious or noisy. Some are old, some are thin, business is deserted, or even forgotten. These are not important.

When I feel depressed, I just hope that I can find an inn to live in my tired soul, which may be the real freedom of struggle.

24. In this bizarre world, no one can live a smooth life. But I always believe that those who have gone through the mist and rain of Pinghu, the mountains and rivers of time, those who have gone through many disasters and tasted all kinds of flavors will be more vivid and clean. Time is always a bystander, and all processes and results need to be borne by ourselves.

25. Drink a pot of tea, write a few lines of small seal script, and look at the flowing clouds. You don’t have the generosity and magnanimity of worldly insights, but you have the simplicity and calmness of dust. Time is changing rapidly, and even if you have the ability to predict the unknown, the outcome will inevitably be wrong. Looking back at the past, gatherings and separations are nothing more than a mirror. Stay with the present, don't look for the scenery you have reserved, and don't make promises that you will break sooner or later. I wish to be at peace with the vegetation and whatever happens.

26. The water is cold, the river is quiet, and the moon and stars are sparse.

Maybe we should all have a kind heart, regard this life as our last, wait at the intersection where fate must pass, and respect every hard-won relationship.

Because we understand, we are compassionate.

27. Everyone’s life is of different lengths. All we can do is not to leave too many regrets while we are alive. As for what will happen in the next life and what stories will happen, no one knows , when you get old, you will look back over the years. Those who have listened to the birdsong together, waited for the flowers to bloom together, and seen the full moon together may have been far away from you, and the backs of those holding hands and looking at each other are like the promises of flowing water. , it has become nothing more than a pile of incomplete past events.

31. A century-old alley, which has experienced the prosperity and decline of the mortal world, has seen countless sentient beings. Someone hung their youth on the carved window eaves. Some people spread their leisurely feelings on the clean stone road. There are also people who pack stories into their bags. Life is really too slow. After seeing the scenery in the alleys, old Chengdu is still the same as before. Life is really too hasty, like a cup of leisurely tea, changing from warm to cold, from strong to light, in just a moment.

32. Waiting for a colorful flower event is happiness; building dreams with the person you like under the sun is happiness; guarding a period of warm and cold time and growing old slowly is also happiness.

33. True peace is not to avoid the hustle and bustle of cars and horses, but to build fences and plant chrysanthemums in the heart. Although the past is like the past, the sound of the waves remains the same every day. As long as we eliminate our obsessions, we can be silent. An Ran, I hope that everyone will not get lost in the chaotic world, and can sit on the rock and get drunk in front of the falling flowers.

34. The most beautiful days are when you are farming in sunny weather and reading, watching fish and listening to birds, with flowers blooming and falling outside the window and clouds coming and going. The spring scenery is the most realistic and false. It seems to be colorful and noisy, but the flowers are sparse and lonely.

35. The end of life is not when the mountains and rivers are gone, nor when the life is over, but when the burden is put down. When you really let go, even if you are drifting in clouds and water all your life, you can still be as calm as the breeze, free and peaceful.

36. The time is slightly cooler, and the distant past has been soaked by the spring water, and the autumn wind has washed away the lead and made it pure and clear. I think that after experiencing the hurried gatherings and separations of life and experiencing all kinds of fireworks in the world, we should bear the vicissitudes that time has brought to us. But Fleeting Time is clearly safe and sound, and the mountains, rocks, grass and trees are so unscathed. It's just that the city that was once promised to last forever has become thinner and thinner in the drizzle. And the person we are waiting for will never come again.

37. Look at a misty rain, from the beginning to the end; look at a butterfly, from the chrysalis to the cocoon; look at the buds of a tree, from blooming to fallen flowers.

Maybe only in this way, life will be less lost and more satisfying.

38. Only when people get rid of loneliness can they regain the hustle and bustle; only after they have gone through all the sadness can they see joy again; after tasting the bitterness, can they naturally return to sweetness. If you believe this, you can face the ravages of life more calmly and walk through the wind and frost of the four seasons. The speaker is free to speak, but after all, life is a long process. Every period of time must be experienced personally, and every cup of rain and dew must be tasted by oneself.

39. Over the past thousands of years, the human world has been wasted, and the years have changed. There are really not many things that people can remember. No matter how vast a person's heart is and how many stories it can hold, it must be given back to time in the end. Some people say that the scenery in this world cannot be deeply felt until you experience it in person. But I thought that the place I arrived in my dream could also be real and unforgettable.

43. Life is never perfect. Sometimes to respect love, you have to betray reality; to fulfill reality, you have to let down love.

44. Time flies by in such a hurry that some stories are written yesterday before they really start; some people become passers-by before they fall in love with each other properly.

45. Reading, splashing tea, leaning against the building and listening to the rain, the days are as simple as water. Zen time is always silent. Outside the window, the wind and clouds are changing, and the traffic is busy, but my heart is peaceful and clean. Being so light does not mean alienating the world, but allowing oneself to practice in the world to become more simple. Life, a book that contains truth, is actually hidden in ordinary things. Return to your original nature and be content with whatever comes your way.

46. It’s not that anyone is too ruthless, but that people are passionate in nature. Passionate people will plant more antecedents, but they can only bear all the consequences themselves.

47. It is said that time is the best medicine. When you feel that you are unable to do what you want, it is better to leave everything to time. It will make you forget everything you should forget and let you start from a story carelessly. Go into another story. 100 I always thought that separation would bring endless care and pain. It turns out that everything in this world has gone through too much, so you just have to get used to it.

48. A person will encounter countless encounters in his life. Some people are scenery that you will forget after seeing them. Some people take root in your heart. Those inexplicable feelings are all due to unreasonable fate. Deep or shallow fate, it has been known for a long time. No matter how you and I practice in the future, we can’t change the way we were at the beginning.

49. Everyone comes to the world as a passer-by. Some people encounter them by chance and turn around and forget about them; some people pass by them and must look back. All encounters and looking back are fate. When you fall in love with a certain figure or lust after a certain look, it means that you have a mortal connection in your heart. It's just that the relationship is deep and shallow, no one can grasp it, and there is no reason to gather or disperse. We must treat it with a normal heart.

50. The past is gone forever, but why do people always miss the past uncontrollably when they are sad and melancholy. Maybe it’s because we are all too ordinary and cannot withstand the suffering of ordinary and fleeting years day after day. I think back when we were standing at the farewell ferry, how many people said the words that they would never look back. In the end, it is those people who need to rely on memories to survive and read the yellowed youth book over and over again.
