May the world turn into a vast ocean, and may you and I return to the first encounter

📍Lingyin Temple A pure land with three sticks of incense May all that you wish for come true, and all that you hope for be fulfilled Every day, there is a chance to brush past many people, some of whom will become your friends or confidants, while others will part with you on bad terms. I don't know when it started, but I've grown fond of staying in temples, as if entering them brings protection and solace to my soul, like a ship sailing far out at sea suddenly finding a harbor. Half-hidden in the monk's garden, cicadas chirp among a few trees, as if in a dream or like smoke. If all worries were removed, everyone would be a Buddha; briefly enjoying the coolness, even a traveler feels like an immortal. Poetry can transcend physical forms, and the essence of the Tao does not fall into literal explanations. Enlightenment is found only on the path of Bodhi; with joy, I watch it unfold with each whip of the reins. —Life is always full of dilemmas; no matter how much we cling or refuse, in the end, we have to learn to accept. From crying in an attempt to control, to smiling in response, in the end, it is all about going with the flow. Don't think too much; everything will pass. Lingyin Temple is truly spiritual; you will see the light I must visit Jiangnan again, to go to Lingyin Temple once more Not to meet the Buddha, but to meet myself and walk out of confusion.
