To Buddhist practitioners, mentality is critical.
It’s like a compass, navigating your direction forward.

With a positive mindset, your mind doesn’t cling to the notion of form.
Whenever affinities arise, in the end they’ll be empty.
This accords with the Buddhist philosophy of Dependent Arising and Emptiness.

It’s how the Heart Sutra describes the Buddha nature — “It is neither arising nor ceasing, neither defiled nor immaculate, and neither increasing nor decreasing.”
This is the true value of life’s existence.

学佛人的心态是非常重要的。
心态就像航行的罗盘,
它指导你前进的方向。

好的心态,让你的心不会着相。
只要有缘分,到最后一定是空的。
这符合佛法的缘起性空。

《心经》讲过
“不生不灭,不垢不净,
不增不减” 的佛性,
其实才是生命真实存在的价值。
