在悠悠岁月的长河中，中华文明的摇篮孕育了独特的文化底蕴。知常乐，自得乐，助人为乐——这是中华民族生生不息的精神传承，也是我们探寻生命之道的钥匙。本文将带领您走进这片充满智慧与哲理的土地，共同感受中华养生的博大精深。

In the long river of time, the cradle of Chinese civilization has nurtured a unique cultural heritage. To be content with the constant, to find joy in oneself, and to derive joy from helping others – this is the spiritual heritage that the Chinese nation has passed down from generation to generation, and it is also the key to exploring the path of life. This article will lead you into this land brimming with wisdom and philosophy, and together we will experience the profound and profound essence of Chinese health preservation.

1. 懂得知足，感恩上天的馈赠，过好当下的日子，就是对待身外之物最好的心态。

1. Understanding contentment, being grateful for the blessings from heaven, and living well in the present moment is the best attitude towards things outside oneself.

2. 一次，苏轼和朋友外出办事，忽逢暴雨。朋友们被淋个湿透，叫苦不迭。而苏轼从容地走在风雨中，享受了风雨氤氲的诗意。他吟道：

2. Once, Su Shi went out with his friends to handle some business, and suddenly they encountered heavy rain. His friends were soaked through and groaned in complaint. However, Su Shi walked calmly in the rain and wind, savoring the poetic atmosphere of the elements. He recited:

3. 修炼自己的内心，当精神家园充裕而美好的时候，外物的点缀也就微不足道了。杨绛在清华大学任教的一段时期内，教职工每月都要打报告，申请自己的物质待遇。杨绛从不与人争，她申请和得到了都是最少的，每月的全部待遇就是一袋60斤的小米，再无其他。

3. Cultivate one's inner self, and when the spiritual home is abundant and beautiful, the embellishment of external things becomes insignificant. During a period of her teaching at Tsinghua University, the faculty and staff were required to submit monthly reports, applying for their material benefits. Yang Jiang never disputed with others, and both her applications and her benefits were the least; her entire monthly allowance was a sack of 60 jin of millet, with nothing else.

4. 懂得知足，给生命减负，给心灵赋能。快乐，和拥有的物质与名利无关，只和内心有关。修一颗富足而简单的心，让快乐如影相随。

4. Understand contentment, lighten the burden of life, and empower the soul. Happiness has nothing to do with the material possessions and fame and fortune one has, but is solely related to the inner self. Cultivate a heart that is rich yet simple, allowing happiness to follow you like a shadow.

5. 虚云大师承袭禅门五宗法脉，为中国佛教协会发起人之一，荣任名誉会长，1959年去世，世寿120岁。他倡导：三不足！

5. Master Xu Yun inherited the five schools of Zen Buddhism, was one of the founders of the Chinese Buddhist Association, and served as the Honorary President. He passed away in 1959 at the age of 120. He advocated: "Three things are not enough!"

6. 生活清贫，他就把仅有的银子兑换成铜钱，串起来挂在房梁上，精打细算着花。吃不起牛羊肉，就买相对廉价的猪肉，变着花样做来吃。他创制的“东坡肘子”“东坡肉”，鲜美可口，闻名遐迩。

6. Living in poverty, he exchanged the only silver he had for copper coins, strung them up on the beam of the room, and carefully calculated how to spend them. Unable to afford beef and mutton, he bought relatively cheaper pork and cooked it in various ways to eat. The "Dongpo Braised Pork Leg" and "Dongpo Pork" he created were delicious and tasty, and were famous far and wide.

7. 每有闲暇，苏轼就游山玩水，访僧问道，饕餮美食，吟诗作赋，把原本艰苦而琐碎的日子，过得活色生香，悠然自足。

7. Whenever he had leisure, Su Shi would roam the mountains and rivers, visit monks to seek wisdom, indulge in gourmet food, compose poems and verses, making the originally arduous and trivial days vibrant and delightful, leading a life of ease and contentment.

8. 虚云大师是近现代最传奇的僧人，他自撰联曰：

8. Master Xu Yun is one of the most legendary monks of modern times. He wrote his own couplet, saying:

9. 清代的温汝适，在考中进士后，曾向一位相师卜问前程。相师说，以你的面相推算，可以做到四品官。后来温汝适回老家，见家乡父老饱受洪灾之苦，于是召集当地富绅募捐，修堤筑坝。同时捐资兴办义学，福泽百姓。

9. Wen Ruxi of the Qing Dynasty, after passing the imperial examination and becoming a jinshi, once sought a fortune teller for advice on his future. The fortune teller said, "Based on your facial features, you can reach the rank of a fourth-rank official." Later, when Wen Ruxi returned to his hometown, he saw that the local people were suffering from the floods. Therefore, he gathered local wealthy landowners to solicit donations for building dikes and embankments. At the same time, he donated funds to establish a public school, benefiting the people.

10. 最后温汝适不仅做了高官，还成为嘉庆皇帝的老师。他的儿子也功成名就，满门荣耀。

10. In the end, Wen Ruxi not only held high office but also became the teacher of the Jiaqing Emperor. His son also achieved great success and brought honor to the entire family.

11. 杨绛认为，物质，饱暖而已，实在不必太多。名利，浮华而已，实在不必在意。人生最曼妙的风景，是内心的淡定和从容。

11. Yang Jiang believes that material things, after all, are just about the basics of being well-fed and warm, and there is really no need for too much of them. Fame and wealth, after all, are just superficial glitz, and there is no need to be overly concerned about them. The most charming scenery in life is the inner calmness and composure.

12. 为此，有位何止米撰文，解析僧人高寿十秘，谓之：

12. For this reason, a certain He Zhi Mi wrote an article, analyzing the ten secrets of why monks live long, calling it:

13. 内心丰盈，对外物的要求就简单。内心贫瘠，就需要外物的堆垒，来显示自己的强大。正如越厉害的人，越低调。越自卑的人，越逞强。饱满的稻穗低头向下，空虚的稗草傲视苍天。

13. A rich heart requires less from the outside world. A barren heart, on the other hand, needs the accumulation of external things to show its strength. Just as the more formidable a person is, the more modest they tend to be. The full ears of rice bow their heads downward, while the hollow millet boasts to the heavens.

14. 中年人压力如影随形，身体每况愈下，必须修炼一颗积极乐观的心，才能应对人生路上的种种不如意，不顺遂。

14. Middle-aged people are constantly haunted by stress, and their physical condition is getting worse. They must cultivate a positive and optimistic mindset in order to cope with all the misfortunes and setbacks in life's journey.

15. 一个助人为乐的人，心怀善念，利益他人，内心有温度，灵魂有香气，走到哪里都受人欢迎，上天也会给予源源不断的福报。

15. A person who takes joy in helping others, with kind-hearted thoughts, benefits others, has a warm heart, and a fragrant soul, is welcomed everywhere they go, and heaven will also bestow endless blessings upon them.

16. 过去很多革命口号，其实是很功利的，应该科学地审视。 尤其老年人，不必再受此束缚，苦了自己，烦了他人。过于自苦不必要。我们这一代人在长期的革命历炼中养成了艰苦朴素的生活习惯，这种精神是很可贵的。只是随着社会经济的发展，今天的老年人也不必过于自苦。我们总说：“休息是为了更好地工作”，外国人则认为“工作是为了更好地休息”。中国传统观念是省吃俭用，为儿为女，外国人的观念则认为赚钱是为了花钱，儿女18岁以后自立，各过各的日子，平安无事。看来我们有些观念是应该有所调整了。儿孙自有儿孙福，不必太为他们担心。什么年龄干什么事，当干时全力以赴，废寝忘食，义无反顾；不当干时全身而退，戛然而止，飘然而去。不要当干时懒散拖沓，不当干时又百般留恋。

16. Many revolutionary slogans in the past were actually very功利istic, and should be scientifically examined. Especially the elderly, they should not be bound by these slogans anymore, subjecting themselves to hardship and bothering others. It is unnecessary to suffer unnecessarily. Our generation has developed a hardworking and simple lifestyle through long-term revolutionary experiences, which is highly valuable. However, with the development of society and the economy, today's elderly do not need to subject themselves to excessive hardship. We always say, "Rest is for better work," while foreigners believe "Work is for better rest." The traditional Chinese concept is to save money by living frugally for the sake of children and grandchildren, while foreigners think that earning money is for spending it. After the children turn 18, they become independent and lead their own lives without trouble. It seems that some of our ideas should be adjusted. Grandchildren will have their own blessings, and there is no need to worry too much about them. At what age, do what is appropriate. When it's time to do something, give it your all, forget about sleep and food, and do it without looking back. When it's not the right time, withdraw completely and calmly move on. Do not be lazy and drag on when it's time to do something, and cling to it when it's not the right time.

17. 人到老年的最高境界老年有成熟之乐、天伦之乐、发展个性之乐、领受兴趣之乐，还有孤独之乐。要善于享受孤独。老年生活过得好不好，部分在社会，多半在自己。快乐是一种心境，是一种主观感受。要做到老年三乐：“知足常乐、自得其乐、助人为乐”，这是中国传统文化对快乐的高度境界，能达到这种境界，就无处而不乐，无时而不乐了。——朋友发我的，我与朋友分享—— 献给老年朋友与终将老年的朋友 2010年人口普查结果显示：我国60岁以上人口为1326%，达到17765亿。与此同时，越来越多的老年人在生活中出现了各种问题。现将我国药理、毒理学领域成绩斐然的科学家，中国工程院院士，少将，院长，也是一位云游四方的旅行家秦伯益院士对于晚年生活的感悟，以他自身丰富多彩的退休生活经历整理成此片，希望能给老年朋友与终将老年的朋友带来一些启示。

17. The highest境界 of old age is to enjoy the joy of maturity, the joy of family, the joy of developing one's personality, the joy of pursuing interests, and even the joy of solitude. It is important to be good at enjoying solitude. Whether the old age is well-lived is partly due to society and mostly due to oneself. Happiness is a state of mind, a subjective feeling. To achieve the three joys of old age: "be content with what one has, find joy in oneself, and take joy in helping others," this is the highest level of happiness in traditional Chinese culture. To reach this level, one will be happy everywhere and at all times. — Sent by a friend, shared with friends — Dedicated to senior friends and those who will eventually grow old. According to the 2010 Population Census results, the population over 60 in our country is 13.26%, reaching 17.765 billion. At the same time, an increasing number of senior citizens are facing various problems in their lives. This article presents the insights of Qian Boyi, an outstanding scientist in the field of pharmacology and toxicology, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a lieutenant general, and also a wandering traveler, on the joys of his retirement. His colorful experiences have been compiled into this piece, hoping to bring some inspiration to senior friends and those who will eventually grow old.

18. 心里要安定，心定则气顺，气顺则血畅，血畅则病消。

18. Keep your mind at peace. When the mind is at peace, the energy flows smoothly, when the energy flows smoothly, the blood circulates freely, and when the blood circulates freely, diseases are eliminated.

19. 人到中年，本来就是负重前行，身不由己。修炼好心态，给自己找快乐，让心灵简单，自在，积极，才是最好的养生。

19. As one reaches middle age, it is naturally to carry heavy burdens and move forward involuntarily. Cultivating a good mindset, seeking happiness for oneself, making the soul simple, free, and positive, is the best form of self-care.

20. 福建省有位妙智长老，专修消灾延寿药师佛法门，2003年去世，世寿106岁，数年后开缸，成就肉身舍利。本人有幸为之安座。他105岁时，还赴六省朝圣。他倡导：

20. There was a venerable elder named Miao Zhi in Fujian Province who specialized in practicing the methods of the Medicine Buddha's Dharma for dispelling disasters and prolonging life. He passed away in 2003 at the age of 106, and several years later, his body was found to have achieved a relic of the body. I had the honor to arrange his seat. At the age of 105, he still traveled to pay homage in six provinces. He advocated:

21. 梁漱溟，1988年去世，享年95岁，为佛学大师。自言前生是和尚。他的延生秘诀则是：

21. Liang Shuming, who passed away in 1988 at the age of 95, was a master of Buddhism. He claimed that in his previous life he was a monk. His secret to longevity is:

22. 学会自得其乐，不管处在高光还是低谷，壮阔还是逼仄，都是找到生活的乐趣，因为它是生命裂缝里的一束光。

22. Learn to find joy in yourself, whether you are in the spotlight or in the doldrums, in the grandeur or the confinement, because it is a ray of light in the cracks of life.

23. 南怀瑾，2012年去世，享年95岁，中国传统文化巨匠，禅学大师。他的养生之道，以他的话说：

23. Nan Huairen, passed away in 2012 at the age of 95, was a master of traditional Chinese culture and a master of Zen Buddhism. His philosophy of health and longevity, as he himself put it:

24. “莫听穿林打叶声，何妨吟啸且徐行。竹杖芒鞋轻胜马，谁怕？一蓑烟雨任平生。”

24. "Do not listen to the sound of leaves rustling through the forest, why not sing and blow a horn while walking leisurely. A bamboo staff and straw sandals are lighter than a horse, who dares to fear? With just a raincoat and a bamboo hat, I let the mist and rain guide my life."

25. 懂得知足常乐，不跟命运死磕，不与自己较劲。简简单单地生活，踏踏实实地努力。

25. Understand the joy of contentment, don't stubbornly fight against fate, and don't strive excessively with oneself. Live simply and work diligently with a solid foundation.

26. 古话说：“爱出者爱返，福往者福来。”能够助人的人，最终也能得到别人的回馈和善意。这样的人生，就是一个传递爱，收获爱的过程，怎么能不幸福呢。

26. As an old saying goes: "What you give out will come back to you, and what you send forth will come back to you." Those who can help others will eventually receive others' gratitude and kindness in return. Such a life is a process of spreading love and receiving love, how could it not be happy?

27. 荀子说：“积善成德，而神明自得，圣心备焉。”帮助别人，把一点点善行积攒起来，就会变成明亮的德行，拥有圣贤的心怀。

27. Xunzi said, "Accumulate good deeds to cultivate virtue, and divine wisdom will naturally emerge, with the sacred heart fully prepared." By helping others and accumulating small acts of kindness, you will transform them into radiant virtue and possess the mindset of a sage.

28. 人生一世，我们需要的不多，而想要的太多，这正是痛苦的根源。戒除贪欲，放下对外界的过度索取，生活就不会有那么多的负重和纠纷，自然也就减少了对生命的消耗。

28. In the span of a lifetime, what we truly need is not much, but what we desire is excessive, and this is the root of suffering. By renouncing greed and letting go of excessive demands on the outside world, life will not be burdened with so many troubles and disputes, and naturally, the consumption of life will also be reduced.

29. 中年人要让自己快乐起来，积极潇洒面对每一天。

29. Middle-aged people should make themselves happy and face each day actively and stylishly.

30. 回京后，他再次遇到那位相师。相师说，你一定种了许多福田，不然你的面相和骨格怎么改变这么大，你可以再升二品了。

30. After returning to the capital, he encountered the fortune teller again. The fortune teller said, "You must have sown many blessings, otherwise how could your facial features and bone structure have changed so much? You can now be promoted to another rank."

31. 能够助人为乐，善良的人终究不会被辜负。因为天道好还，因果不虚。善行终将结善果，耕耘福田的人，终将收获累累硕果。

31. A kind-hearted person who takes joy in helping others will never be disappointed. Because the natural order of the universe is that what goes around comes around, and causality is not a lie. Good deeds will eventually bear good fruits, and those who cultivate the field of merit will ultimately reap bountiful harvests.

32. 一个人不论处在何种境遇，只要能够心怀乐观，自得其乐，人生也就山明水秀，坦荡无碍。

32. Regardless of the circumstances one finds oneself in, as long as one maintains an optimistic attitude and finds joy within, life will be as beautiful and smooth as a clear mountain and flowing water.

33. 温汝适把自己回乡的经历告诉了相师，相师感叹道，相由心生，境随心转。你心有善念，助人于难，一定会结善果，得福报。他日前程不可限量。

33. Wen Ruxi told his fortuneteller about his experience of returning to his hometown. The fortuneteller sighed and said, "One's face reflects what is in their heart, and one's circumstances change with their heart." You have kind thoughts, helping others in their difficulties, and you will definitely reap good fruits and receive blessings. Your future prospects are limitless.

34. 古人曰：修行有三不足。不足食，不足衣，不足睡。不足食，食取止饥，不宜过饱，更不能求美味。不足衣，衣取御寒，宜服粪扫衣，更不能贪求美备。不足睡，睡取调倦，不宜久睡。盖久睡长愚痴，多衣增挂虑，过饱不便用功！

34. The ancients said: There are three inadequacies in cultivation. Not enough to eat, not enough to wear, not enough to sleep. Not enough to eat, eat only to satisfy hunger, not to overindulge, much less to seek delicious food. Not enough to wear, wear only to ward off the cold, it is best to wear the clothes swept from the latrine, much less to crave for beautiful and complete attire. Not enough to sleep, sleep only to refresh oneself, not to sleep for a long time. For excessive sleep leads to increased foolishness, too many clothes increase worries, and overeating hinders one's efforts!

35. 忘掉身体，忘掉自己，忘掉寿命，忘记时空，越刻意求寿，越把身体搞糟。

35. Forget the body, forget yourself, forget your lifespan, forget time and space. The more you刻意 seek longevity, the worse you will treat your body.

36. 英国有座圣·克里斯朵夫临终关怀医院，是世界上最早的一所，已有100多年历史。那里的病人大多时间在活动室里看书、打毛衣、玩牌、祷告、唱诗、看电视。 每周有志愿者来陪他们聊天。这里的大多数人生命大约只剩一个月左右——临终前一个月他们还可以无痛苦地享受人生。秦老已经向家人和学生交待，将来他走时，不必开追悼会，因为他不喜欢那种里面哭哭啼啼，外面嘻嘻哈哈的尴尬场景。到时如果无法推辞，非要安排一个遗体告别仪式的话，也不必奏什么哀乐，而要播放一段舒曼的《梦幻曲》，并告诉大家，我走得很愉快，很舒坦，因为我曾是一个长寿而快乐的老头儿，我充分享受了人生，我知足了。 最后，祝老年朋友与终将老年的朋友吉祥快乐！

36. There is a St. Christopher Hospice in the UK, which is the oldest of its kind in the world and has a history of over 100 years. Most of the patients spend their time in the activity room reading, knitting, playing cards, praying, singing hymns, and watching TV. Volunteers come every week to chat with them. The majority of them have only about a month left to live – in the last month before their death, they can still enjoy life without pain. Mr. Qin has already instructed his family and students that when he passes away, there is no need to hold a funeral ceremony, as he dislikes the embarrassing scene of crying inside and laughing outside. If, at that time, it is unavoidable and a farewell ceremony for the body must be arranged, it is not necessary to play any sad music, but rather to play a piece by Schumann, "Dreaming," and tell everyone that I have passed away happily and comfortably, because I was an elderly person who lived a long and happy life, fully enjoyed life, and am content. Finally, I wish all senior friends and those who will eventually become seniors happiness and good fortune!

37. 本焕长老，2012年去世，世寿106岁！生前任中国佛教协会名誉会长。长老强调：「要想身体好，顿顿八分饱」，「粗茶淡饭有益健康，大荤大肉有损寿命」。别有特色的是长老的规律生活作息。他说：「我早晨4点18分起床，中午12点休息，午后1点48分起床，晚上9点睡觉，这就是一天的生活，坚持几十年了。」

37. Venerable Benhuan, who passed away in 2012 at the age of 106! He was the Honorary President of the Buddhist Association of China. The Venerable emphasized: "To maintain good health, eat to eight parts full at each meal," "Simple tea and light food is beneficial to health, while excessive consumption of rich and spicy food can shorten one's lifespan." What is particularly distinctive about the Venerable's regular lifestyle is his schedule. He said, "I wake up at 4:18 in the morning, take a rest at noon, and then wake up at 1:48 in the afternoon. I go to sleep at 9:00 in the evening. This is my daily routine, which I have been adhering to for decades."

38. 赵朴初还信奉一条：身体不求无病，无病则骄奢婬逸；做事不求无难，无难则以为世事易成。这是蕅益禅师《灵峰宗论》上的观点。所以，他曾诗曰：十年同渡风波恶，梦里寻甘病得闲。以此描述那十年的困难时期。前人说：沉舟侧畔千帆过，病树前头万木春。就与此意暗合。

38. Zhao Puchu also adhered to a belief: one does not seek to be free from illness, for without illness, one may become骄奢淫逸; one does not seek to avoid difficulties in one's endeavors, for without difficulties, one may think that the world is easy to accomplish. This is a viewpoint from the "Lingfeng Zonglun" by the Chan master Jieyi. Therefore, he once wrote a poem: "For ten years we crossed turbulent waves, in dreams seeking sweetness while illness grants leisure." This describes the difficult period of those ten years. As people in the past said: "Beside the sinking boat, a thousand sails pass by; in front of the sick tree, ten thousand trees bloom in spring." This resonates with the above sentiment.

39. 生命最好的状态，就是一个乐字。

39. The best state of life is all about joy.

40. 笑对归宿 死亡既然是最后的归宿，生命的必然，自然也就没有必要过多地害怕了。一切顺其自然，交给“命运”就是了。

40. Embrace the Destination Since death is the ultimate destination, a natural necessity of life, there is no need to fear it excessively. Let everything go with the flow and leave it to "fate" to decide.

41. 人走茶凉不奇怪。有些老年人常留恋过去“过五关，斩六将”时的辉煌，叹惜当下空怀壮志，力不从心。看来大可不必。有些老年人常沉湎于过去前呼后拥，迎来送往的热闹场景，叹惜现在门庭冷落，寂寞空灵，“人一走，茶就凉”。甚至埋怨人情冷暖，世态炎凉，真有说不完的苦恼。看来也大可不必。人走了，茶自然会凉，不仅会凉，而且茶水还应倒掉，因为茶杯还有它用。能根据情况变化，作出合乎自身特点的安排，以提高自己老龄期的生活质量，这才是生活中的强者。 老人 活的就是一种心态 孤独也是一种享受。老年有成熟之乐、天伦之乐、发展个性之乐、领受兴趣之乐，还有孤独之乐。孤独时有广阔的思想空间，有充分的行动自由，有全额的可支配时间，有不受干扰的心灵天地。苏东坡写过：“与谁同坐？明月、清风、我。”很多大思想家、大科学家、大文学家、大艺术家的不朽作品往往是在孤独的境遇中创作出来的。这不是提倡老人过孤独的生活，而是说明孤独也是一种享受，一种美。要善于享受孤独，不必惧怕。我们既应强调社会关心老人，更应强调老人自己关心自己。老年生活过得好不好，部分在社会，多半在自己。老人越是希望社会关心自己，越是难以感到满足；越是不要求社会关心自己，越是容易感到幸福。如果迷恋于“发挥余热”、“子孙孝顺”、“弟子尊师”、“公众敬老”、“社会回报”，往往容易产生失落感。无所求，也就无所失。大彻大悟后，自然就免除了大悲大痛。“知足常乐、自得其乐、助人为乐”。快乐是一种心境，是一种主观感受。有的人身在福中不知福，把好日子也过苦了。有的人在任何境遇中都能得到快乐，乐其所乐，甚至苦中作乐。应该学会随遇而安、知足常乐、自得其乐。知识界的老人更可发挥自己的知识优势和对人生的感悟获得更多的快乐。

41. It is not strange that when people leave, the tea cools down. Some elderly people often yearn for the past glory of "crossing five passes and cutting down six generals," and regret that they have empty ambitions and are unable to act. It seems unnecessary. Some elderly people often indulge in the bustling scenes of the past, welcoming and sending off guests, and regret the current loneliness and emptiness, "when a person leaves, the tea cools down." They even complain about the coldness of human feelings and the vicissitudes of life, with endless distress. It seems unnecessary as well. When people leave, the tea will naturally cool down, not only cool down, but also the tea should be poured out because the teacup still has its use. To make arrangements based on the situation and in line with one's own characteristics to improve the quality of life in old age is the strength in life. The elderly live a kind of mindset, and loneliness is also a form of enjoyment. Old age has the joy of maturity, family joy, the joy of developing one's personality, the joy of pursuing interests, and even the joy of loneliness. When lonely, there is ample space for thoughts, full freedom of action, ample time at one's disposal, and a peaceful, undisturbed spiritual realm. Su Dongpo once wrote: "Who am I sitting with? The bright moon, the cool breeze, and I." Many great thinkers, scientists, writers, and artists have created their timeless works in lonely situations. This is not advocating that the elderly lead a lonely life, but it is to say that loneliness is also a form of enjoyment, a beauty. One should learn to enjoy loneliness without fear. We should emphasize both social concern for the elderly and the elderly taking care of themselves. Whether the elderly live well or not depends partly on society and mostly on themselves. The more the elderly hope for social concern, the harder it is to feel satisfied; the less they demand social concern, the easier it is to feel happy. If one is fixated on "making use of leftover heat," "filial piety," "students respecting their teachers," "public respect for the elderly," and "social returns," they are more likely to feel lost. With no desires, there is no loss. After a deep realization, one naturally avoids great sorrow and pain. "Contentment brings joy, self-satisfaction brings joy, helping others brings joy." Joy is a state of mind, a subjective feeling. Some people are unaware of their blessings even when they are in happiness, and they live a difficult life even in good times. Some people can find joy in any situation, enjoying what they enjoy, even finding joy in adversity. One should learn to adapt to circumstances, be contented, and find joy in oneself. Elderly people with knowledge can further enjoy more joy by leveraging their knowledge advantage and insights into life.

42. 赵朴初，原中国佛教协会会长，著名佛学家。2000年离世，享年93岁。92岁时，赵朴初写了篇《宽心谣》，曰：日出东海落西山，愁也一天，喜也一天；遇事不钻牛角尖，身也舒坦，心也舒坦；每月领取养老钱，多也喜欢，少也喜欢；少荤多素日三餐，粗也香甜，细也香甜；新旧衣服不挑拣，好也御寒，赖也御寒；常与知己聊聊天，古也谈谈，今也谈谈；内孙外孙同样看，儿也心欢，女也心欢；全家老少互慰勉，贫也相安，富也相安；早晚操劳勤锻炼，忙也乐观，闲也乐观；心宽体健养天年，不是神仙，胜似神仙。

42. Zhao Puchu, former president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, a renowned Buddhist scholar. He passed away in 2000 at the age of 93. At the age of 92, Zhao Puchu wrote a poem called "Kuanxin Song" (A Song of Ease), which says: The sun rises in the East and sets in the West, be it a day of worry or a day of joy; when faced with problems, don't get stuck in a dead-end, then your body is comfortable and your mind is at ease; whether you receive more or less pension money, you are happy; with a diet of more vegetables and less meat in each meal, whether coarse or fine, it is sweet and savory; whether you choose new or old clothes, they both keep you warm; chatting with close friends, you talk about the ancient and the modern; you treat your grandsons and granddaughters equally, both your sons and daughters are pleased; the whole family of old and young comfort and encourage each other, be it in poverty or wealth, they are at peace; whether busy or idle, early and late you work hard and exercise, being optimistic; a broad mind and a healthy body enjoy the years of nature, not as a god, but better than a god.

43. 孔子评价他的弟子颜回：“一箪食，一瓢饮，人不堪其忧，回也不改其乐，贤哉回也。”颜回布衣粗食，物质清贫，却能让内心保持快乐，真是一个了不起的人啊。

43. Confucius evaluated his disciple Yan Hui: "With one basket of food and one ladle of drink, others would find it unbearable, but Hui does not alter his joy. What a virtuous Hui indeed!" Yan Hui lived in simple clothing and on coarse food, with a poor material condition, yet he was able to maintain inner joy. What an extraordinary person he was indeed.

44. 有作有为有馀欢，无欲无求无烦恼。要做到老年三乐：“知足常乐、自得其乐、助人为乐”，这是中国传统文化对快乐的高度境界，能达到这种境界，就无处而不乐，无时而不乐了。

44. To have accomplishments, joy, and abundant happiness; to have no desires and no demands, and thus no烦恼 (troubles). To achieve the three joys in old age: "Joy in contentment, joy in self-fulfillment, and joy in helping others," this is the high level of happiness in Chinese traditional culture. Once one reaches this level, they will find joy in every place and at every moment.
