Karmic Cycle
🌿☯️🔥 One cannot know pain without illness, grief without wounds, parting without suffering, forgiveness without resentment. Cause and effect are ever clear, the affairs of the world turn in cycles, and all things under heaven follow this same truth. // 人无病不知痛，人无伤不知悲，人无苦不知离，人无恨不知恕。因果昭昭，世事循环，天下万物，不外此理。 Rén wú bìng bù zhī tòng, rén wú shāng bù zhī bēi, rén wú […]
One Sided Pain
💔🚶🕯️ The pain is really only felt by one person. If both were hurting, they would have reconciled long ago. // 痛其实只是一个人，两个人都痛的话早就和好了。 Tòng qí shí zhǐ shì yī gè rén, liǎng gè rén dōu tòng de huà zǎo jiù hé hǎo le. // Thống kỳ thực chỉ thị nhất cá nhân, lưỡng cá nhân đô […]
Impolite Knocking
🚪🚷🙏 It’s impolite to keep knocking on a door that isn’t willing to open for you. // 一扇不愿意为你开的门，一直敲是不礼貌的。 Yī shàn bú yuàn yì wèi nǐ kāi de mén, yī zhí qiāo shì bù lǐ mào de. // Nhất phiến bất nguyện ý vị nhĩ khai đích môn, nhất trực xao thị bất lễ mạo đích. […]
Stand Tall
🌳☂️🌱 Don’t rely on anyone. Under a big tree, no grass can grow tall. Whoever can shield you from the wind and rain can also block your sunlight. // 不要依赖任何人，大树底下无大草。但凡能为你遮风挡雨，同样能让你不见天日。 Bùyào yīlài rènhé rén, dàshù dǐxià wú dà cǎo. Dànfán néng wèi nǐ zhē fēng dǎng yǔ, tóngyàng néng ràng nǐ bùjiàn tiānrì. // Bất […]
Boundaries Matter
🛡️🌵⚖️ You don’t have to sting others, but you must carry thorns. Be a person with principles and boundaries. // 可以不去扎人，但你身上必须带刺。做人一定要有原则和底线。 Kě yǐ bù qù zhā rén, dàn nǐ shēn shàng bì xū dài cì. Zuò rén yí dìng yào yǒu yuán zé hé dǐ xiàn. // Khả dĩ bất khứ trát nhân, đãn nhĩ […]
Strength Within
🕯️🗡️🙏 Those who truly rise by themselves often appear polite and friendly, yet few can truly enter their hearts. Their souls are half compassion, half ferocity; offering incense to Buddha, drawing guns against demons. // 真正靠自己爬起来的人，表面都非常客气友善，但很难有人真正走进他的内心。他的灵魂一半慈悲，一半凶狠，遇佛上香，遇鬼掏枪。 Zhēnzhèng kào zìjǐ pá qǐlái de rén, biǎomiàn dōu fēicháng kèqì yǒushàn, dàn hěn nán yǒu rén zhēnzhèng zǒu […]
Burning Desire
☯️🔥🌌 Where contradictions and opposites extinguish, there lies Nirvana. The star of my beloved longing still burns fiercely toward me. // 矛盾对立寂灭之处，即是涅槃。挚爱的渴望之星，依然向我灼灼燃烧。 Máo dùn duì lì jì miè zhī chù, jí shì niè pán. Zhì ài de kě wàng zhī xīng, yī rán xiàng wǒ zhuó zhuó rán shāo. // Mâu thuẫn đối lập tịch […]
Soul Journey
⛵🌊🍃 The boat is not the goal, nor is the river. The goal is to drift with sincerity and wholehearted effort. // 船不是目的，河也不是，目的是诚心诚意尽心尽力地漂泊。 Chuán bú shì mù dì, hé yě bú shì, mù dì shì chéng xīn chéng yì jìn xīn jìn lì de piāo bó. // Thuyền bất thị mục đích, hà dã bất […]
Life Angles
🔄🌿📐🌟 Treat others at 45 degrees, work at 90 degrees, conduct yourself at 180 degrees, and deal with the world at 360 degrees. // 四十五度待人，九十度做事，一百八十度为人，三百六十度处世。 Sì shí wǔ dù dài rén, jiǔ shí dù zuò shì, yī bǎi bā shí dù wéi rén, sān bǎi liù shí dù chǔ shì. // Tứ thập ngũ độ […]
