Zhang San: Every Day is a Good Day
Zhang San likes the tranquility of one person,
When he's alone, he'll light a cigarette, water the flowers,
When he's alone, he'll brew two cups of tea,
When he's alone, he'll play with his cat,
Most importantly:
When he's alone, he'll do what he wants to do,
There's no such thing as loneliness, it's all his own joy,
The picturesque beauty of nature depends on green trees and sunlight,
A good environment delights the eye,
A good sun makes one intoxicated,
Zhang San's joy is inseparable from the scenery outside the door.
Burning incense and drinking tea,
Pleases the palate and relaxes the mind,
Zhang San also has his own charm,
Zhang San also has a certain stubbornness,
He tinkers with his own joy,
Although his hands are scarred, he's tireless,
'Mastering a skill brings endless joy',
Maintain mindfulness with a focused mind,
Hold kindness in your heart when viewing the world —
Spring has come,
The uneasiness of winter should also be let go completely…
Nothing happened today,
Meeting old friends for a cup of tea,
Talking a few idle words,
Spending a whole afternoon together,
Occasionally he will go to pray for incense,
Listening to the master's teachings —
A foolish person always wants others to understand him, while a wise person strives to understand himself,
Looking at the clouds, the clouds are also looking at me,
Besides me, looking at the clouds…
Some affinities are close at hand, far away in the sky,
Need some time.
Scrolls, poetry, and books fill me with yearning,
But it's just the joy of seeing the interesting places in books,
A desire to drink,
Giving up alcohol today, replacing it with tea,
Painting pictures of fine wine,
Looking at them in pairs.
It's late, go to sleep!
There's a slight gust of wind and rain outside the window,
Unable to sleep —
Zhang San counts sheep…
He kept counting until he reached the border of Siberia…
Good night, yesterday!
Hello, new day!
A foolish Zhang San has no grand ideals, doing things in front of him, cherishing the people in front of him,
Knowledge and action are one, letting joy fill your heart,
There's no bad mood, no bad weather.
