Features: A single thought of purity, blooming lotuses everywhere. A single flower, a pure land; a single grain of sand, a coming of the Buddha. Each Zen story in the book contains philosophy and wisdom: gain and loss, suffering and joy, right and wrong. To comprehend them is to become a Buddha. This book will help young friends understand the truths of life and guide them to move forward in the right direction! Brilliance ised in simplicity, and greatness is born in the ordinary. The principles of life are actually very simple. As long as you maintain a calm heart, not rejoicing in external things, nor grieving for oneself, and act diligently, life will open its arms to you and smile. All blessings come from within, and the principles of life are closely linked to Zen. May you, under the warm sunshine, light a gentle fragrance of orchids, read a Zen story, and let the fragrance envelop you, enjoying the supreme wisdom of Bodhi!
Each Zen story contains philosophy and wisdom: gain and loss, suffering and loss, suffering and joy, right and wrong. A single thought of purity, blooming lotuses everywhere. A single flower, a pure land; a single grain of sand, a coming of the Buddha. All people, those with wisdom should contribute with it, those without wisdom should contribute with their strength, those without strength should contribute with their wealth, those without wealth should contribute with their skills, those without skills should contribute with their words, those without words should contribute with their warm smiles, and those without warm smiles should contribute with their prayers. All spiritual defects can be improved through knowledge, just as physical defects can be improved through appropriate exercise. Brilliance ised in simplicity, and greatness is born in the ordinary.
