The little apprentice asked the old Zen master: "Master, I am so bored and tired. I am busy every day. Why am I not happy?"

The old Zen master was silent for a moment, asked the young apprentice to bring an empty bottle, and then said to the young apprentice: "Look at this empty bottle, there's nothing in it. Just put it in whatever you want."

The little apprentice happily ran to the pool and filled a bottle of water. The old Zen master asked him to pour it out and put it in something else. The young apprentice was puzzled and went to the kitchen to put another bottle of salt. The old Zen master asked him to empty it again, and then poured the ink into the bottle.

The young apprentice asked the old Zen master: "Master, what are you doing?" The old Zen master said to the young apprentice: "An empty bottle will get whatever it contains. The human heart is like an empty bottle. Do you understand?" The young apprentice had an epiphany.

An empty bottle, whatever you pour into it will be what it contains. If you pour water, it will contain water; if you pour salt, it will contain salt.

people are like this empty bottle, what to put is up to you. If you pour happiness into it, it will contain happiness. If you pour troubles into it, it will contain troubles. Whatever you want, pour it into it.

People's hearts are like bottles. Whatever you put in a bottle, you will get. With kindness, tolerance, sincerity and gratitude in your heart, your life will have warmth and sunshine, and what you will get is happiness. So no matter what happens, you must first reflect on yourself, correct your shortcomings, and make up for your shortcomings. Let go of all the bad things about others and eliminate them in your heart.

As a human being, you must cultivate your own heart.

Keep others in mind and always think about others in everything. It will not cause conflicts and misunderstandings and disputes. If you care about others, others will also care about you. If you think about others, others will also think about you.

As a human being, you must relax your mind.

With the world in your heart, all the right and wrong, grievances, fame and wealth will not blind your eyes. You will live a relaxed and comfortable life. If you hold hatred in your heart, hatred is like a seed that will take root and germinate, and eventually it will backfire and hurt you.

To be a human being, you must empty your heart.

If you pretend to be jealous, calculating and greedy in your heart, you will put yourself in a narrow space, become selfish, and often blame others. Your circle will also become smaller, your friends will become fewer and fewer, you will have no one to help you when you are in trouble, no one will accompany you, and you will become a sad loner.

As a human being, you must correct your heart.

If you hold a seat, money, and house in your heart, you will be busy and exhausted in the material world. You will lose yourself and destroy your character for these things. After a lifetime of hard work, life will not bring it, and death will not take it away. In the end, I was empty-handed and had nothing.

Your destiny, good or bad, life or failure, has nothing to do with your appearance, but only with what is inside you. If you are happy in your heart, your mood will be happy; if you are beautiful in your heart, your life will be beautiful; if you are kind in your heart, your appearance will be beautiful; if you are sunny in your heart, your attitude will be optimistic; if you are tolerant in your heart, your life will be happy.

The happiness of life, future success or failure, the state of practice, and the quality of your conduct often lie in your heart. When the heart is big, it can accommodate everything. When the heart is good, everything is fine. When the heart is broad, everything will be smooth. If you cultivate your mind and have peace of mind, you will truly win!
