"万法由心生"#
All phenomena arise from the mind, and thoughts are the root. Fortune-telling by ghosts and gods is misleading and confusing. As a person, one should not act recklessly. Virtue and wisdom are the true qualities of a ruler.
(This is a song in the style of Sichuan folk music. The first sentence has a clear and natural rhythm. In the familiar melody of the hometown, the philosophical words are repeated, deeply touching people's thoughts and entering their hearts.)
"Faith and Righteousness"#
Faith and righteousness are the foundation of success in all things. The way of human beings is determined by faith. Only with faith can one achieve success in one's endeavors. The realization of success lies within oneself.
(This is a song in the style of Northern folk music. It is simple and melodious, like facing a dense forest of pine and cypress trees. Faith and righteousness are as solid and enduring as mountains.)
"Movement by Listening"#
Those who succeed in everything must seize opportunities and act when they hear the signs. They know the benefits but do not act on them. Therefore, they often lose to others and ultimately lose their own benefits. As the saying goes, "Talent realizes tomorrow, talent realizes medicine." Let us work together, advance humanity, and reflect on ourselves.
(The melody is gentle and flowing, like flowing clouds and water, like riding a horse on the grassland, peaceful and far-reaching.)
"The Way of Smoothness"#
Do not be reckless and negligent on the path of smoothness. In times of difficulty, one should be resolute and cautious. If one loses the smoothness, disasters will surely come. Embrace difficulties and strive for blessings and opportunities will naturally come.
(The rhythm is gentle, the musical phrases are square, and the narration is calm, enlightening the soul.)
"Habit Becomes Nature"#
Habit becomes nature, and all phenomena are the same. From the vast universe to the smallest dust particles, the cultivation of virtue and the establishment of human morality are the essence. Therefore, one should cultivate good knowledge and wisdom.
(The melody is lively and lively, smooth and natural, and the profound philosophy is quickly memorized.)
"Success or Failure Depends on a Single Thought"#
Success or failure depends on a single thought, and the three karmas are the foundation. If one does not disappoint oneself, one will benefit humanity with all one's efforts.
(Like Zen music, like clear spring water, flowing gently in the heart, purifying the soul.)
"The Astonishing Way"#
The astonishing way is obtained quickly, but due to the immaturity of conditions, it gradually fades away. Some may possess it together, but if they do not cherish the time, they will lose the Dharma in the long run.
(The melody rises and falls, twists and turns, narrating gently and warmly.)
"Understanding Others"#
Those who are good at understanding others show that they have already cultivated their own virtues. Right and wrong, success and failure will inevitably reveal their results. The public should examine their own hearts.
(The melody is concise and clear, like a spring breeze, gently entering the heart, warming the world.)
"The Impermanence of the World"#
The world is impermanent, and sentient beings are destined to die. Inanimate objects determine their extinction. All phenomena are like dreams. Separation and dispersal have no name or form. Good causes bring forth blessings, while evil causes bring forth terrifying retribution.
(This is an ancient Tibetan folk music style, deep and solemn, chanting the Six-Syllable Mantra, praying for the well-being of all beings.)
"General's Song: Cold Melody Announces Spring"#
Remembering the hundred-zhang high peaks, piercing through the sparse small bells. The cold fragrance is in the air, and the red apricot hangs on the cliff. In the leisurely moments, there is so much joy. Where does the Biyan Gorge go? Only see the willows swaying like this. A few strands of soft flowers float, the west wind brings scenery, suddenly, it is the cold melody announcing spring, so comfortable, intoxicating, like joy, like joy, so much joy.
(The song has a relaxed and compact rhythm, with ups and downs in the melody, full of passion, delicate and profound, expressing feelings and aspirations, extraordinary in temperament.)
