Do not linger too long in fleeting places; do not be too attached to the human world. Instead, grow familiar with the space you long for—and become one who sees clearly.

376. The essence of LIFE is the soul, and the essence of the soul is consciousness. Therefore, consciousness is LIFE.

379. Freedom is the symbol of heaven; control is the mark of hell.

388. The faith one holds determines their mental and emotional state, which shapes their words and actions, leading to specific outcomes and life paths. Faith is life’s compass—different beliefs shape different destinies. What kind of faith you have determines the kind of life you’ll live.

389. Arrogance stems from ignorance—it is the touchstone of whether one possesses true inner richness.

390. Character is the inherited imprint of one’s past LIFE form. It is not passed down from one’s parents. Character sets the overall direction of one’s development. It is one’s innate nature—a potential force of consciousness that is difficult to control. As the saying goes, “Rivers may shift course, but true nature is hard to change.” What kind of character one has shapes the life one lives.

391. The more wondrous a method, the simpler and easier it is to practice; tricks and shortcuts are neither simple nor effective paths.

395. Act freely without crossing boundaries; live with ease and harmony, free from discord.

396. Are there injustices in human society? No, none at all! Everything is a fair consequence of the law of cause and effect. Everything is a just verdict rendered by the mechanism of cause and effect; everything is the most just arrangement and reward-and-punishment of the Tao.

397. Every individual has their own LIFE trajectory, and everything is predestined. What seems like injustice on the surface is actually the result of our own subconscious thoughts and actions.

398. Even in death, one must die with clarity, ensuring that there are no lingering regrets. One should not have lived in vain. While alive, it is important to distinguish what truly matters from what does not, and to prioritize accordingly. Otherwise, regret will come too late!

399. Do not cling to the past. Rather than longing for what was, open yourself to what lies ahead. The universe is boundless, time and space are infinite, and the journey of LIFE has no end. LIFE is an endless voyage, and the vistas ahead are unlike anything we've ever known or imagined. No matter how wonderful our present may seem, we must still explore new frontiers, blaze new trails, and ascend to new states. For joy is in creation, not in enjoyment; happiness is in giving, not in gaining; and freedom is in letting go, not in clinging to the old.

400. If we stop moving forward, we inevitably slide into stagnation and decay. If we cling to what we possess, we become selfish and greedy. If we hold on to the outdated and the rigid, we will never behold the unparalleled new wonders that await.
