The great Dao is extremely simple, while complexity lies in people's hearts

  At the very beginning, a person is like a blank sheet of paper.
Even if it is painted with gorgeous colors, when the glitz fades away, being spotless is the original state.
The "Tao Te Ching" says, "The Dao gives birth to one. One gives birth to two. Two gives birth to three. Three gives birth to all things."

Cultivating the Dao is actually simplifying and returning to nature.
Simplicity is the hardest thing.
The "Tao Te Ching" says, "Difficult things in the world must be done while they are easy. Great undertakings in the world must be done while they are small."
Doing good is easy, but doing one good deed every day is very difficult. A journey of a thousand miles is far, but taking one step forward every day is simple.
Doing the best in details is flawless character. Doing ordinary things to the extreme is an extraordinary realm.
There is an old man named Bai Fangli in Tianjin who pedaled a tricycle for ten years.
At the age of 74, he began to earn money by pedaling a tricycle to support poor children to go to school.
Regardless of wind and rain, day after day, he donated 350,000 yuan and supported more than 300 students to complete their studies.

When he passed away, there was not a penny left in the old man's account.
He left a last word, saying, "In the next life, I will teach and pedal a tricycle again."
Fifteen years after Bai Fangli left us, many people still miss him.
An ordinary tricycle has lifted the dreams of more than 300 children and kindled the kindness deep in people's hearts.
Zhuangzi said, "What starts simply will surely end grandly."
Some things may seem insignificant at the beginning, but along the way, one will find that it has a great future and unlimited potential.
Basic skills are boring, but more practical than fancy moves. Laying a foundation is monotonous, but more important than a castle in the air.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Doing simplicity well is the most difficult thing.
Simplicity is the cultivation of life.
The "Tao Te Ching" says, "Those with profound virtue are like newborn babies."
Life is like a journey, from simplicity to complexity, and then back to simplicity.
From simplicity to complexity is the experience of the first half of life. From complexity to simplicity is the cultivation of the second half of life.
In the works of Mr. Jin Yong, there is an "old urchin" named Zhou Botong in the great martial arts sect Quanzhen Sect.

He is the junior fellow disciple of Wang Chongyang, but he doesn't look like a junior fellow disciple. He is the junior master uncle of the Seven Immortals of Quanzhen, but he doesn't have the dignity of a junior master uncle.
When he was young, he had an affair with the princess of the Kingdom of Dali and was tricked by Huang Yaoshi and imprisoned on Peach Blossom Island.
The older he gets, the more innocent his mind becomes, just like a child.
After Wang Chongyang passed away, he abandoned the position of sect leader and roamed around enjoying the scenery, leaving the Quanzhen Sect to his nephews.
He doesn't know how to hold grudges. Huang Yaoshi broke his leg, and he only left a pile of feces and urine to "take revenge."
He is guileless. He is the best in martial arts in the world. When he fights with others, it's only because it's fun.
As the saying goes, "It is easy to go from simplicity to complexity, but difficult to go from complexity to simplicity."
People grow old in heart before they grow old in body. Wrinkles growing on the heart make people more haggard than growing on the forehead.
After half a lifetime of ups and downs, what is precious is not how high one's position is or how much wealth one has, but always having a childlike heart and keeping innocence forever.
Having a simple mindset is the most important cultivation in the second half of life.
The "Tao Te Ching" says, "The Dao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Dao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name."

Countless thoughts arise from one thought. In the vast world, being arises from nothingness.
People with simple souls live abundantly. People with complicated hearts live desolately.
The great Dao is extremely simple, while complexity lies in people's hearts. Pour out the redundant things to leave room for beauty. Put down the troublesome things to make life comfortable and relaxed.
For the rest of your life, may you be a child who is at peace with the Dao, full of excitement, pure and simple!
