In the tumultuous world, life remains serene and beautiful; the soul wanders alone between lines and paragraphs.

Quieten a bustling city, warm a solitary figure, keep three thousand heart seals, all for the sake of meeting you in this moment of time…

The bamboo shadow sweeps the steps but the dust doesn't stir, the moon passes through the pond leaving no trace. When the wind stops, flowers still fall; birds sing making mountains even more tranquil.

Leisure is about “not thinking” and “not fixating,” not worrying over thoughts, not being held back by a shred of anxiety, thoughts come and go, body and mind are free.

Song Dynasty's Jiang Jie said: Only by idly chanting and singing throughout my life, can I compose songs to be sung by oarsmen. With no scheming matters in my heart, I am only occupied with leisure, getting drunk without knowing the way back.

Finding peace here, entrusting your soul. A life of ease generally cannot exist outside the realm of culture. Read an uplifting book, as if amidst clear waters and green mountains.

Reading books is the most joyful thing, yet lazy people often find it painful; idleness is the most joyful thing, yet some complain of its loneliness.

True leisure is when body, mind, and soul are spontaneous, free, and undistracted, doing things just because one likes them, not just for the sake of doing them.

Even in a bustling city, one can engage in activities that relax the mind. In a quiet room, a stick of agarwood incense, a Cup of clear Tea, a segment of ancient music, a good book; take a sip of tea, read a few pages of the book, listen to the wonderful sounds of southern music, feeling content to the core.

In moments of leisure, be a fisherman who cares not for the world, guarding an old tiled house, going out to work at sunrise, reading at sunset, listening to bird songs, smelling tea fragrances.

Not until moss grows between the tiles and cobblestones do we realize that time is quietly slipping away.

Leisure is not something everyone can have. One may have spare time, but not necessarily leisure.

In one's spare time, choose articles from the ancients that bring joy, read them aloud, and the mind and spirit will soar, brows will broaden. The illness of Changqing, the idle sentiments of Tao Ling, how could they deceive me!

Luofei riding on mist, Jiangpu adorned with clarity, even encountering them is hard enough, let alone encountering them and not liking them!
