"Life is too bitter, yes, but whose life is sweet? The Buddha said, 'Life has eight sufferings: birth, aging, illness, death, encountering those we resent, separation from loved ones, unfulfilled desires. Each of us has our own sorrows, you just haven't seen them. So instead of self-pity and tormenting oneself, it's better to learn to let go of worries."
"Can't see the hope to persist? Then the ancestor said, 'It's better to live badly than to die well. Living is a beautiful thing. Since we came to this world, we should love, experience, feel, and appreciate every tiny joy."
The gentle voice was almost like a chant, as Ye Wan shifted her tone, "The above, from the old monk's live stream on the Ghost Festival last July. My attitude, Honghuang, is: not listening to the elder's words leads to immediate loss. So..."
Ye Wan smiled, "Listening to the old monk is definitely right!"
