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 … Read more

Most people who come to temples are not worshipping Buddha, but their own desires! The morning bell and evening drum are to … Read more
❤️⚔️🙏🏻 There are two of me in this world, one is deeply attached to the mortal world of desires and cannot let go, and the other is light and carefree with an ancient Buddha lamp by my side. // 世上有两个我，一个眷恋红尘情难舍，一个青灯古佛一身轻。 Shìshàng yǒu liǎng gè wǒ, yīgè juànliàn hóngchén qíng nán shě, yīgè qīng dēng gǔ … Read more
