Let people go. Don't cling to money. Let the past dissolve like morning mist. Stay centered. Stay empty, yet full of your true essence. Stay free. Because everything you need is already within you: you are like a tree that asks for nothing, yet bears fruit - and in every fruit, new seeds are hidden.- Lao Zen Scacciapensieri

When the sky darkens and the rain pours down, don't be afraid: it's only a passing moment, something that fades like morning mist. Bad times disappear when we stop holding on to them with sadness. Look at the clouds - can't you see they never stay still above you?- Lao Zen Scacciapensieri
Who you are is not in the fabric you wear, but in the silence you dwell in. When the milk is sour, it's not the cup's fault. In other words, dear wanderer: do not blame the outer appearance for what comes from within.- Lao Zen Scacciapensieri
Have you ever seen two identical apples? Yet no one complains at the market. One is a bit crooked, the other has a blemish. . . but they're all apples. Nature has no ruler. It grows as it pleases. Only humans build molds and then get upset if something doesn't fit inside them. Those who understand let go of comparison and accept things as they are - even if they're strange, even if they're different from themselves. Trying to change others is like getting angry because the garden isn't made up of only roses. But look closer: even nettles have their own scent.- Lao Zen Scacciapensieri
Is life hard? Of course. Even water meets rocks along its path. Everything faces obstacles on the way. Is life unfair? Maybe. But the sun doesn't choose who to shine on. Do some people have more? Yes. But those with less often sleep better. Let go of comparison. You can't straighten the world like a bent nail. But you can choose where to direct your energy: toward complaints and dissatisfaction, or toward acceptance and inner peace.- Lao Zen Scacciapensieri
If you can't find the way, maybe there's no path to walk. Maybe you're simply meant to stay. Some things aren't asking to be fixed - just to be embraced. Like clouds: you don't move them, you let them pass. Not everything is a knot to untie. Sometimes it's just a thread to let go of, because not everything can be solved, but it can be accepted.- Lao Zen Scacciapensieri
Do not make your heart a prison for your dreams. Idealizing is like trying to catch a butterfly in the palm of your hand: the more you try, the more it slips away. Expectations are like a taut rope: pull it, and you risk breaking it . . . and hurting yourself. Let go. If you don't try to grasp what you cannot, the world will smile at you effortlessly. And if the butterfly you chase slips away, appreciate it for its true nature: beautiful, fragile, fleeting- Lao Zen Scacciapensieri
Welcome what is, for what was not simply wasn't Heaven's time. Asking 'what if?' is like trying to hold sand in your hands. Life flows where it must, and every effect leads you to where you are, whether you accept it or not. So walk on, without too much haste or regret: the path reveals itself only to those who walk it. Look back only to take in the view, whatever it may be.- Lao Zen Scacciapensieri
Follow what is right for you. Don't cling to forced impositions. Free yourself from concepts that do not belong to you. Shine without wondering who is watching, like everything in nature: it does its duty even without praise. Live simply, think clearly, and serenity will be your most invaluable reward. And in the darkest days, always carry with you your compass and wait with trust for the light of your star to guide you on the Way.- Lao Zen Scacciapensieri
Don't force yourself to laugh, learn to recognize the value of a smile. With lightness, let unpleasant things pass, welcome the unexpected as part of the journey, and find joy even where ordinary eyes see only burden. A quiet heart laughs for no reason and moves through the day without strain. Those who take everything too seriously are like someone who builds obstacles only to trip over them. Life is like a train ride: there's no point in keeping all your luggage on your lap-just place it on the overhead rack.- Lao Zen Scacciapensieri
