Jing Si Aphorisms . 静思语（三十二）

In the face of diversity, be grateful, for such opportunities do not come by easily.

We cannot love when filled with suspicion.

We cannot forgive when unwilling to believe.

We cannot trust when filled with doubts.

We cannot control the length of life, but we can always expand the breadth and depth of life.

The first step on the path of Buddhism is to lessen our desires and accept what we have. 

Then our minds will relax and we begin to gain wisdom.

Jing Si Aphorisms . 静思语（三十一）

 Forgive those who unintentionally hurt us. Do not be someone who is easily hurt by others.

 Hardworking signifies persistence and patience. To achieve great accomplishments, we must have a hardworking spirit.

 Live a simple life to enjoy peace and bliss.

Be forgiving toward others. Be discreet in your speech.
