Do not be deceived by external appearances; Taoism seeks the "inner" and not the "outer." Always maintain a learning attitude, from not knowing to knowing, from knowing to deeper understanding, and from understanding to enlightenment. It is like an egg: breaking from the inside signifies life, while breaking from the outside results in an omelet. Read more Taoist scriptures regularly, and use your heart to comprehend them. The process of growth may be painful, but this pain is a sign of transformation. Only through experiencing the苦 of seeking knowledge can one truly appreciate the sweetness of enlightenment. "The phoenix must burn itself to be reborn." The phoenix burns its own body in flames; after experiencing pain and tempering, it can elevate its realm and become stronger than before. 'Cultivation' requires mastering fundamental laws and principles; first, learn to cherish your body, as this is the foundation of cultivation. Without a healthy body, nothing can be accomplished; you cannot save yourself, let alone others. Life itself is a dojo; go with the flow and sincerely experience everything. Do not be distracted or inattentive; be genuine, feel with your heart, and avoid superficiality. Happiness is boundless!
