In the mountain behind the ancient Zen temple, there is a quiet bamboo forest.

It's off the beaten track, with only the occasional birdsong and the rustle of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves, bringing a glimmer of life to this tranquil place.

The Zen master traveled here, attracted by the purity of this place, and decided to stay and participate in Zen enlightenment.

This Zen master's name is Fayi, and he is very old, but he is in good spirits. He often walks alone in the bamboo forest, or sits quietly on a stone platform, facing the valley, thinking about the true meaning of life.

One day, while walking in the bamboo forest, Zen Master Fayi suddenly noticed a small grass growing in the crevice of a boulder, and despite the difficult environment, it still grew tenaciously and bloomed a small pale yellow flower.

This small flower is inconspicuous, but it exudes a faint fragrance.

Zen Master Fayi bent down and looked at this little flower carefully, and couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart

This small flower is inconspicuous, but it still strives to bloom itself, exuding a unique fragrance. The same is true in life, you don't have to care about the eyes of others, living your true self is the best gift of life. ”

Since then, Zen Master Fayi has cherished this bamboo forest even more, and also cherished every life even more.

He often tells the story of this nameless little flower to the **, telling them to live like themselves and be the master of their own destiny.

Time passed, and Zen Master Fayi gradually grew old, but he still maintained that indifference and calmness.

Before he died, he summoned the ** people to the sickbed and said earnestly:

Age is just a symbol, and hopefully we all have connotations to match it. You don't necessarily have to grow into a rose, if you want to, make jasmine, make light chrysanthemum, make nameless flowers, make thousands. Living like yourself is the best gift to life. ”

After listening to the teachings of Zen Master Fayi, they fell into deep thought. They were deeply touched by the words of the Zen master and began to reflect on their past actions and pursuits.

Some ** remembered that they had given up their preferences and dreams in order to cater to others, and now they feel very regretful. They decided that they wanted to be brave enough to pursue their hearts and no longer be swayed by the eyes of others.

Others** realize that they are so desperate for fame and status that they neglect inner peace and true happiness.

They decided to slow down, to feel the beauty of life, to cherish the time and strive to improve their realm.

After saying this, Zen Master Fayi closed his eyes peacefully.

* They all remembered the words of the Zen master and passed on the story of the nameless little flower.

Year after year, the nameless little flower still blooms in the cracks of the boulders.

And that bamboo forest has also become a famous attraction of the Zen temple.

People come here not only to participate in Zen meditation and enlightenment, but also to find that little pale yellow flower and feel the unique understanding of life.

Time flies, the bamboo forest is still verdant, and the little flower is still swaying in the wind.

Those who have listened to the teachings of Zen Master Fayi, no matter where they are, will remember the story of that little flower and strive to live their true selves.

As Zen Master Fayi said: "You don't necessarily have to grow into roses, if you want, you can be jasmine, light chrysanthemum, nameless flowers, and thousands of flowers." Living like yourself is the best gift to life. This is a wise interpretation of life and a profound revelation of the journey of life.
