Part 1
Do not be afraid of the true mind that is facing you, and do not be afraid to live under the direction of the true mind.
When you perceive this world with the true mind, you will discover that although the world is not as simple as people wish it to be.it is not as complicated as you imagine.
Fundamentally, everything is in your head, and nothing is more than a dream, an illusion, a bubble.Is the glittering morning dew that was on the leaves still there?
It has already been evaporated by the sunlight, and its existence is like an illusion. Do people still enjoy talking about the absurd things you did when you were young?
Probably only you yourself remember them, and a couple of years from now even you will have forgotten them -they too will disappear like dreams.
Part 2
Our lives are a giant illusion. When you understand this point, you will face everything in life calmly, and not differentiate things in terms of good and bad and liking and disliking.
Do not give rise to the discriminating mind, and try to savor everything in life, and live tranquilly and happily.
You may be like me, and find a way to create something of value that time will not destroy, and in the midst of empty illusion and impermanence, establish a relative permanence.
Can we say that such a life is still not fortunate enough?(page 119-120)
~An excerpt from The World is a Reflection of the Mind.

不要害怕面对自己的真心，更不要害怕在真心的指导下生活，用真心感受这个世界，你将会发现，世界虽然不像一些人期望的那样单纯，但是也没有你想象中的那么复杂。归根到底，无论单纯还是复杂，都是概念化的你对它的归纳，一切不过是梦幻泡影。叶子上那颗晶莹剔透的朝露还在吗？它早被阳光蒸发了，它的存在就像一种幻觉。你小时候做过的荒唐事，现在还被人津津乐道吗？恐怕只有你自己才记得吧，再过两年，连你也忘了，它也就像梦样消失了。
我们的生命是一场巨大的幻觉。明白这一点，就坦然地面对生命中的所有事情，不以好坏、喜恶来分别它们，不要生起分别心，然后品味生命中的一切，宁静、快乐地生活。或者像我这样，找到一种方式，创造一种岁月毁不去的价值，在虚幻无常中建立一种相对的永恒。这样人生，难道还不够幸福吗？（96-97页）
