人生没有什么不可放下(摘选)
弘一法师说:有情绪的时候问问自己,是不是又在强求不属于自己的东西了。太过在意,反而适得其反,也许路的尽头是什么,从来都不重要。
中途下车的人很多,不必因为一个过客,让自己耿耿于怀,若将过去抱得太紧,怎么腾出双手拥抱未来。
人生其实就是一场修行,完善自己,宽容别人,接受生活的不完美,慢慢学会控制情绪。你总会觉醒,只是或早或晚,而这个早晚决定了你人生的走向。
情绪是本能,每个人每天都会有各种情绪的产生,快乐、悲伤、愤怒、恐惧、厌恶、惊奇,周而复始的充满了你的生活,做不了情绪的主人,终将成为情绪的奴隶。
人生总有起起伏伏,该你遇到的人,你躲不了;该你经历的劫,你逃不掉;该走的弯路,该吃的苦,该撞的南墙,一个都不会少。放下纠结,好运自然来,熬过去,就会峰回路转。
人生就是一场旅行,不必在乎目的地,在乎的是沿途的风景及看风景的心情,心若向阳,无谓悲伤,微笑向暖,年华未央。
世界上唯一不变就是一直在变,不要去责怪身边的任何人和任何事,好的人给了你快乐,坏的人给了你经历,最差的人给了你教训,最好的人给了你回忆,相信这一切都是最好的安排,每一个出现在生命中的人,都是来成就你的。
不要害怕失去,你所失去的本来就不属于你,不要害怕伤害,能伤害你的都是你的劫数。你在意什么,什么就折磨你,你计较什么,什么就困扰你,万事从心起,看淡一身轻。
时间不为谁停留一分一秒,花有重开日,人无再少年,珍惜当前,过好眼下。过去不管如何,过去的都已经过去,最好的总是在未来等着你。
如果一个人总是影响了你的情绪,让你烦躁,让你不安,而你自己又无法改变的时候,也许离开才是最好的选择。离开某些人不是因为他们不好,而是和他们在一起,你自己不好。人生苦短,生命宝贵!走近一个人要慢一点,以免看不清;离开一个人要快一点,以免舍不得。珍惜所有的不期而遇,看淡每一次的不辞而别。人生海海,先有不甘,才有心安……
缘分本来就稀薄寡淡,相伴一程,已是万分感激。没有什么东西,是一成不变的。无论什么关系,如若情分已消耗殆尽,缘分就走到了终点。没有谁能一直陪着谁,只要同行的时候是快乐的,就是好的相遇。至于怎么走散的,并不重要。
那些过去的,过不去的,最终也都会过去,如果总是抓着过去的人和事不放,对那些受过的委屈和伤害耿耿于怀,你就会变得拧巴和不快乐,所有的事情,除了生死都不值一提,百年以后既没有你也没有我,我们奋斗一生,带不走一草一木,我们执着一生,带不走一丝爱慕虚荣,放下的人,收获了轻松和快乐,而放不下的人只能一辈子背着包袱,不得快乐。
老天让你结束一段关系,并不是收回你的幸福,而是老天觉得你受的委屈太多了,让你解脱,然后安排一个视你如命的人来到你身边。所以不要害怕失去,因为你所失去的本来就不属于你。人生无论怎么精心策划,都抵不过一场命运的安排。当你明白这一点, 在感情中所有的悲伤和痛苦,都能得以释怀。
不要在任何一段关系里自我感动,更不要心有不甘地去质问别人“为什么”。在这个世界上,从来都不是你对谁越好,谁就会更加珍惜你,现实却往往相反。更不要高估了你在任何人心中的位置,到最后你可能什么都不是。
如果你突然感觉不想再爱了,一定是积累了太多的无力和失望,你突然发现,自己的坚持好不值得, 到最后,你终于选择放过自己,而这种放下,是积攒足够的失望后,深思熟虑的结果,世界上很多事情,不是你努力就会有结果,尽力之后选择随缘吧,放过别人,也是放过自己, 我和你相识于人海, 终究,把你归于人海。
有福气的人,大多会经历情劫之痛,很多人在经历情劫后,差点丢了半条命,但恰恰这场情劫,让你完成了救赎和涅槃, 让你学会了放下,学懂了人性, 让你变得更加的强大, 学会善待自己,放过自己,不再自我消耗, 让你成为更好的自己, 等你熬到心中无爱、无恨、无他人的时候,你就重生了。过程虽然很痛苦,但到时候你就会发现, 失去远比拥有更踏实。放下才能拥有,放下才能幸福。
你所有的压力,都是因为你太想要了;你所有的痛苦,都是因为你太较真了。有些事不能尽如心意,就是在提醒你,该拐弯了。尽力之后就选择随缘吧。唯一属于你的,就是你活着的每一瞬间。
真正的放下,其实也就是,即便你泪流满面,还能继续抬头前进。人生在世,谁都有放不下的人和事, 放下不是让你丢弃, 也不是让你遗忘,而是让你不要困在过去的人和事里,止步不前,没有什么放不下的。 人生本来就是一场断舍离,没有什么放不下的。
放下执念,才能回归安宁。

Below is an elegant English translation that captures the essence and poetic beauty of the original text:
---
Nothing in life is too precious to let go of.
Master Hongyi once said: When emotions arise, ask yourself if you’re clinging to something that doesn’t belong to you. Caring too much often backfires, and perhaps the destination of the journey was never what mattered.
Many people disembark along the way; don’t let a passing traveler weigh on your heart. If you hold the past too tightly, how will you free your hands to embrace the future?
Life is a journey of self-cultivation—perfecting yourself, forgiving others, and embracing life’s imperfections while learning to master your emotions. Awakening is inevitable, only a matter of sooner or later, and this timing shapes the course of your life.
Emotions are instinctual, cycling through joy, sorrow, anger, fear, disgust, and wonder, filling your days. If you cannot master your emotions, you will become their slave.
Life is full of ups and downs. The people you’re meant to meet, you cannot avoid; the trials you’re destined to face, you cannot escape; the detours, the hardships, the walls you’ll hit—none can be avoided. Let go of entanglements, and good fortune will follow. Persevere, and the path will turn.
Life is a journey, not about the destination but the scenery along the way and the heart with which you behold it. Keep your heart turned toward the sun, and sorrow will fade. Smile warmly, for your youth is not yet spent.
The only constant in this world is change. Don’t blame those around you—good people bring you joy, bad ones bring experience, the worst teach lessons, and the best leave memories. Trust that everything is as it should be, and every person in your life is there to shape you.
Don’t fear loss—what you lose was never truly yours. Don’t fear pain—the wounds you suffer are part of your destiny. What you care about torments you; what you dwell on troubles you. All things arise from the heart—let go, and you’ll find lightness.
Time pauses for no one. Flowers may bloom again, but youth does not return. Cherish the present, live fully in the moment. The past, no matter how it was, is gone. The best is always waiting in the future.
If someone constantly stirs your emotions, making you restless or uneasy, and you cannot change it, perhaps leaving is the wisest choice. Leaving certain people doesn’t mean they’re unworthy—it means you’re not your best self with them. Life is short, and your time is precious. Approach others slowly to see them clearly; leave swiftly to avoid lingering regrets. Treasure every unexpected encounter and let go lightly of every silent farewell. Life is vast—only through reluctance do you find peace.
Fate is fleeting, and to share a moment’s companionship is already a gift. Nothing remains unchanged forever. When the bond in any relationship is exhausted, it has reached its end. No one can stay by your side forever, but as long as the time together was joyful, it was a meaningful encounter. How you part ways matters little.
The past, even the parts that linger, will eventually fade. If you cling to old grievances and hurts, you’ll twist yourself into unhappiness. In the grand scheme, nothing but life and death truly matters. A century from now, neither you nor I will remain. We strive through life, yet take nothing with us—not a blade of grass, not a trace of love or vanity. Those who let go find ease and joy; those who cling carry burdens forever.
When fate ends a relationship, it’s not to take away your happiness but to free you from undue suffering, making way for someone who will cherish you. No matter how carefully you plan, life bends to destiny’s design. Once you understand this, all sorrow and pain in love can be released.
Don’t lose yourself in self-inflicted sentiment, nor question others’ “whys” with resentment. The world doesn’t work so that kindness guarantees reciprocation—sometimes, the opposite is true. Don’t overestimate your place in anyone’s heart, lest you find yourself insignificant in the end.
If you feel you can no longer love, it’s because disappointment and exhaustion have piled up. You realize your persistence wasn’t worth it, and in the end, you choose to free yourself. This letting go is the result of deep reflection after enough heartache. Not everything yields to effort—do your best, then let fate take its course. Releasing others is also releasing yourself. We met amidst the sea of humanity, and in the end, I return you to that sea.
The fortunate often endure the pain of emotional trials. Some lose nearly everything in these struggles, but it’s precisely this ordeal that leads to redemption and rebirth. It teaches you to let go, to understand human nature, to grow stronger, to treat yourself kindly, and to stop draining your own spirit. It shapes you into a better version of yourself. When your heart holds no love, no hate, no others—you are reborn. The process is painful, but you’ll find that losing feels far more solid than possessing. Letting go brings possession; letting go brings happiness.
All your stress stems from wanting too much; all your pain comes from taking things too seriously. When things don’t go as hoped, it’s a reminder to change course. Do your best, then let fate decide. The only thing truly yours is each moment you live.
True letting go is moving forward with your head held high, even as tears fall. Everyone has people and things they can’t release. Letting go doesn’t mean discarding or forgetting—it means not being trapped by the past, unable to move forward. Nothing is too precious to release.
By letting go of attachments, you return to peace.
