Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
Feng Zikai's life-themed essays, 37 of his classic essays, and 41 exquisite hand-painted illustrations. Talking about life, living, and mentality, calmly facing the confusion and troubles of life, and enjoying the freedom and clarity of life in the noisy world.
True spiritual practice is not to pursue perfection blindly, but to learn to leave blank space. There is joy everywhere in life. Life is beautiful because of its simplicity. Life is free because of its blank space. Imperfections can make it last forever, and imperfection is life. I hope we can look at the complex life with a simple state of mind. Since there is no pure land, it is better to be calm; since it is not as you wish, it is better to let it go. Only by simplifying can we look at gains and losses lightly and live peacefully.
May all the regrets in the world be fulfilled!
