Issue 394: Master Mei Fenghua’s Wisdom, Insights into the Wisdom of I Ching

Weekly Master Golden Words

Misfortune and fortune depend on each other, fortune and misfortune lie beneath us.

Fortune and misfortune are interdependent,

Disaster contains good fortune,

And there are also hidden disasters in good fortune.

When in a favorable situation, one should also be prepared for the future,

Don’t wait until disaster strikes to be at a loss.

No matter which stage of life you are in,

Everyone should learn to think twice when being a person:

Be prepared for danger, retreat, and change.

Be prepared for danger and be prepared for it.

Comfort is the life we pursue,

But blindly indulging in eating, drinking, and entertainment,

Comfort becomes an anesthetic,

People will lose their motivation to move forward.

So it’s important to constantly remind oneself,

We cannot forget our worries with joy, we must be aware,

Only by being prepared for danger in times of peace can hidden dangers be discovered,

And eliminate it in its infancy,

Life can be less bumpy and more peaceful.

Think back, advance and retreat freely.

Everything has its limits,

When life reaches a certain height,

There is nothing to climb up, high places are too cold,

We need to know how to retreat.

Singing and advancing vigorously is certainly good,

But stop when it’s good, retreat bravely in the rush,

This is the smartest way of dealing with people.

Can move in and out, move back and forth freely,

It is the best embodiment of the wisdom of an excellent person.

Thinking about change, change is a common way.

There is a saying in the Book of Changes:

Poverty leads to change, change leads to communication, and the general rule lasts for a long time

The only unchanging thing in the world,

Everything is constantly changing.

More proactive and adaptable thinking,

It will reduce the embarrassment of being caught off guard.

The times will abandon you,
I never say goodbye to you in advance,
To establish a firm foothold, one must consider change,
Proactively step out of your comfort zone,
Only then can we grasp the initiative.
Having foresight and being a pioneer,
That’s the way to improve and win.

Be prepared for danger, the more favorable the wind is,
The more we need to be clear headed and self disciplined, step by step,
To walk more steadily and further;
Withdrawing thoughts, subtracting desires,
Leave space for life, stop when it’s good,
The momentum of life will be stronger;
Think about change, be a long-term advocate,
Not relying on luck, only recognizing strength,
Continuously reshape oneself to adapt to changes with the same principles.
When ‘think twice’ becomes a habit,
The path of life can be both stable and smooth.


观念指引分享

 Nolo contendere

 

A young man asked a long-lived elder:

How can I be like you,

Healthy and long-lived?

The elder replied, ‘Do not argue with fools.’.

Young people say: impossible,

It’s not that simple,

Isn’t it difficult to achieve a healthy and long life?

The elder responded with a calm smile,

Say: You are right.

Inspiration:

Different locations, no need to argue;

Different levels, less words are more valuable.

The wise have their own heaven and earth in their hearts, 

Not going to confront others head-on.

Walking in the world, one cannot do without:

A tolerant heart and just the right silence.


每周跟学静修

 

每周静修

1. If one commits evil within oneself, it will be too late to save when disaster strikes; My own illness is treated by my own doctor, and by the time I die, it’s too late to seek medical attention.Translation: When it comes to one’s own mistakes and errors, one should reflect and examine them in a timely manner. When a major disaster occurs, it is too late to repent; For one’s own illness and pain, it is important to seek medical treatment and care as soon as possible. By the time the illness becomes terminal, it is too late to seek medical attention again.

2. Having too many things is the first disease of reading, too much desire is the first disease of health preservation, too much speech is the first disease of worldly affairs, too much wisdom is the first disease of heart, and too much expense is the first disease of writers.

Too much busyness is the biggest flaw in studying and learning; Excessive desire is the biggest problem in maintaining the body; Talking too much is the biggest flaw in social interaction; Being too narrow-minded is the biggest flaw in cultivating morality; Wasting too much is the biggest flaw of financial managers.

3. Zhuang Jingfei is not only strong in the day, but also has a calm heart, a sense of yin and a small dial, and a sense of self relaxation; Ansi not only enjoys the day, but also allows the spirit to run freely, even though it has been months and years, it still moves rapidly.Facing life with dignity and respect, not only is one spiritually strong and full of vitality, but one can also think calmly and calmly about problems. Even if there is a moment of darkness, it still feels long-lasting; To pass the day comfortably is not only to be lazy and lethargic, but also to feel restless and confused, even after months and years, one still feels like they are flying by.

Perseverance, gold and stone can be carved.

Life is like a piece of raw jade,

To withstand the repeated erosion of social waves,

The unremitting carving of personal will,

Only then can it bloom with brilliant colors.

This is a journey of honing the soul and elevating the realm,

In this process, only by forging:

Perseverance and determination,

Calm and composed, enthusiastic and proactive,

On the stage of life,

Dancing gracefully, playing the passionate melody of life.

Forge a tenacious perseverance.

The Book of Songs says:

Beauty has no beginning, but freshness has an end 

The road of life is long, with many goals and dreams,

Shining like stars ahead.

However, on the way forward, thorns and thorns abound,

Difficulties and setbacks are inseparable,

Like surging waves,

Attempting to overturn our dream boat.

Only possessing an unwavering perseverance,

To stand firm and move towards the goal.

The most terrifying enemy,

It’s just that there is no firm belief.

With perseverance, there is a source of strength to overcome difficulties,

No matter how rugged the road ahead may be,

Everyone can take firm steps forward,

Until reaching the other shore of success.

When faced with arduous work and study tasks

Perseverance can support us in overcoming laziness,

Persistently making efforts,

Step by step accumulation, little by little progress,

Only in the end can we achieve a qualitative leap.

Cultivate a calm and composed mind that is neither swayed by favor nor disgrace.

In life, fame and fortune, honor and disgrace, gains and losses,

Often like fleeting clouds and smoke, ever-changing and unpredictable.

If one becomes complacent due to temporary glory,

Unable to recover from a moment of humiliation,

The soul will be bound by worldly troubles,

It is difficult to achieve true peace and ease.

Only by cultivating a calm mind that remains calm and composed,

Only by staying awake amidst the hustle and bustle can one maintain clarity,

Adhere to oneself in the face of setbacks and difficulties.

A calm person is not judged by the outside world,

Influenced by circumstances,

My heart is like a calm lake, calm and composed.

Being able to listen to the inner voice amidst the hustle and bustle,

Adhere to one’s principles amidst restlessness,

With a calm and composed posture,

Faced with various challenges in life.

Having meditation allows one to avoid being:

Vanity overwhelms the mind, loss shatters the will,

Always maintain a peaceful state of mind,

Make rational judgments and choices.

Cultivate a positive and enterprising enthusiasm.

As Heaven keeps vigor through movement, a gentleman should unremittingly practice self-improvement.

Life is a continuous exploration,

A journey that keeps moving forward.

A proactive and enthusiastic attitude,

It is a powerful driving force that propels progress.

Having a passionate heart,

To be filled with love for life,

Full of anticipation for the future,

Proactively pursue dreams, embrace new challenges,

Continuously expanding the boundaries of life.

In real life,

Regardless of dedicating oneself to technological innovation or cultural heritage,

Still committed to social welfare and personal growth,

Enthusiasm can keep us:

Highly motivated and proactive,

Devote oneself wholeheartedly to the career one loves.

It makes us dare to try new things,

Be brave to accept new ideas,

Continuously challenging oneself, surpassing oneself,

Never stop on the path of pursuing excellence.

Perseverance endows us with:

The power to overcome difficulties and break through obstacles;

Meditation reminds us:

Stay clear and composed amidst the chaos;

Enthusiastic push for us:

Continuously pursuing progress and achieving success.

Based on perseverance,

Guided by meditation and winged by enthusiasm,

Only in the trials of life can we,

Carve out a unique and brilliant self,

Write a brilliant and magnificent chapter in life.

 梅Fenghua wishes all friends a happy day!
