Lin Qingxuan is a famous Zen writer, and in his book "The Day of Tranquility", he proposed four states of mind, namely pure mind, happy mind, ordinary mind and soft mind. He said that a pure heart is the eye to see the world, a happy heart is the attitude to live life, a normal heart is the source of affection, and a soft heart is a good medicine to remove obstacles. He gave an example, saying that there was an old man who would look in the mirror every morning and say, "Wife, you are a year older today, you are so lucky that you still have me with you." This is a pure mind, able to see the beauty of life and not be deceived by external images. This is the joy of being able to be grateful for the gifts of life and not be bothered by trivial matters. This is the ordinary heart, which can cherish the truth of emotions and not seek vanity and fame. This is soft-heartedness, able to tolerate each other's shortcomings and not care about personal gains and losses. If we can see the world with a pure heart, live life with joy, have affection with a normal heart, and remove obstacles with a soft heart, like this old man, then we can look down on everything, ignore the past, forgive everything before going to bed, and wake up to be born again.
Zhou Guoping is a famous philosopher, in his book "Behind the Smile", he put forward a philosophy of smile, he said, smile is a kind of power, but also a kind of art, it can change our state of mind, but also can affect the emotions of others. He said that there are three kinds of smiles, which are sincere smiles, reluctant smiles, and false smiles. He said that a sincere smile is the most beautiful, it can express our joy, but also can convey our warmth. He said that a forced smile is the hardest, it can hide our unhappiness, but it can also relieve our stress. He said that a false smile is the ugliest, it can expose our falsehood, and it can also cause others to resent it. He gave an example of a lady who smiled at her colleagues and clients every day at work, her smile was sincere, kind, and bright, her colleagues and clients liked her very much, and her work went smoothly. However, her private life was very unhappy, her husband was unfaithful to her, her children were unfilial to her, her relatives and friends ignored her, her heart was full of bitterness, but she never revealed it in front of others, she just came home at night and looked in the mirror and shed tears. It's a forced smile, it's hard, but it's strong, it keeps her confident at work, and it keeps her dignified in life. If we can face the unsatisfactory and unhappy life with a smile like this lady, then we can adjust our mentality, put ourselves in the right position, forgive everything before going to bed, and wake up to be born again.
