Keeping a Clear Mind

I asked the Buddha: why do people possess a single heart that has two atria?

The Buddha replied: This is because life is sadness as well as happiness.

One atrium represents happiness whilst the other represents grief.

Become aware of the cycles of happiness and grief and do not be arrogant,

Do not laugh too loudly, or this will invite the next sadness

 

我问佛：为什么人只有一个心脏却有两个心房？

佛说：因为人生不只有快乐，还有悲伤。 

两个心房，一个住着快乐，一个住着悲伤。

须知，福兮祸依，得意不可张狂。

你在笑的时候声音不要太大，那样会吵醒旁边的悲伤。
