# Chanyuan Love is Like a Mountain, Affection in the Second is Like the Sea

Oct. 25, 2023

From the farthest reaches of the past to the infinite horizons of the future,

With the ebb and flow of tides, the blooming and withering of flowers, the passing of days and nights, and the changing of seasons,

Only the love of Chanyuan and the affection of the Home remain constant, unchanging throughout eternity,

Neither harsh cold nor scorching heat, every year is as warm as the spring sun.

 

Yellow sands bury the fertile fields, floods wash away the embankments,

Times change societies, money supplants human nature,

Only the love of Chanyuan endures, the affection for the Home remains unchanged.

 

Migrating geese alter their formations, the clouds in the sky endlessly morph,

The grass on the ground flourishes and withers, withers and flourishes again,

And the lights of thousands of households brighten and dim, dim and brighten,

Only Chanyuan love and Home affection stand tall like mountains, deep as the ocean waves.

 

Husbands and wives may become adversaries, siblings may engage in strife,

Cooperations may disintegrate, empires may crumble into ruins,

Only the love of Chanyuan endures forever, the affection of the Home flows ceaselessly like a river.

 

The love of Chanyuan is the love of heaven, the affection of the Home is the sentiment of the celestial realm,

Only those who possess the love of heaven can understand Chanyuan love,

Only those who possess the sentiment of the celestial realm can understand Home affection,

The love of Chanyuan transcends money, power, status, and beauty,

the affection of the Home is independent of family ties, worldly sentiment, and human relationships.

 

Only by immersing oneself in Chanyuan can one comprehend the depth and breadth of Chanyuan’s love,

Only by intertwining life and death with the Home can one grasp the enduring nature of the Home’s affection,

When human sentiment is thick, celestial sentiment is thin; when human sentiment is intense, celestial sentiment is light,

Judging celestial sentiment with human sentiment is like observing flowers through the mist,

Seeking celestial sentiment with human sentiment is akin to searching for a horn on a rabbit’s head.

 

As the world spins, the love of Chanyuan endures. As times shift, the affection of the Home persists.

As the times change, Home affection persists.

These are the world’s most precious treasures, humanity’s most beautiful vistas.

Possessing the love of Chanyuan is akin to reaching heaven, possessing the affection of the Home is akin to dwelling in the celestial realm.

 

Life holds three treasures: love, sentiment, and nature.

Possessing all three treasures, one ascends to divinity.

Amidst the vast sea of humanity, where can one discover pure love, sentiment, and nature? Among the countless paths of the world, which one guides us to heaven?

Questions and searches yield no answers, only through immersion can one discern the truth.
