A Slow Life Under the Great Buddha: 'Dwelling in the Human World, Without the Noise of Carriages'
Life is moving too fast, people are exhausted
but their hearts still yearn to slow down
escape the city's hustle and bustle, and relax their mood
let their minds find a moment of tranquility
Let's
do nothing, do nothing
slow down
feel the tranquility of 'a thatched cottage in the human world, without the noise of carriages'
Every weekend, when the weather is sunny
Jiating Fang becomes lively
This liveliness is different from
the endless stream of traffic and crowds
Its specialness lies in
it's the sound of people slowing down
Slow down to savor food
slow down to chat and stroll
slow down to appreciate the fish and reflections in the pond
slow down to enjoy the scenery with family and friends
Even the birds on the trees would like to slow down
perched on branches, singing
still unwilling to fly away
Be a slow person, and life
will be happy and relaxed
Here, 'slow' is not laziness
not stagnation, not being stuck in one's ways
but to relax oneself appropriately
to let tense nerves relax well
so that they can better recharge their energy and start anew
