Practice is to give your own conscience, not to show others. If the heart is concerned, there are complaints everywhere; If the heart is relaxed, it is peaceful at all times. Nine out of ten things in the world are unsatisfactory, and the people who can be obedient to you can make you do what you want after all. If you care, nothing will satisfy you. One inch wide heart, one zhang wide road; Heart wide as the sea, calm. Smile to see flowers, quiet joy; Quiet flowers fall, with ease.

True practice is internal: It's about cultivating peace within yourself, not for show.
Focus on inner peace: When your heart is calm, you find peace everywhere.
Let go of dissatisfaction: Most things won't be perfect, but you can choose peace regardless.
Control comes from within: True control comes from mastering your emotions, not manipulating others.
Acceptance brings peace: When you stop needing everything to be perfect, you find contentment.
Inner peace expands your world: A calm heart opens possibilities (one inch wide heart, one zhang wide road).
Peace is like the sea: Vast, deep, and unbothered by external storms.
Find joy in simplicity: Appreciate the small things (smile to see flowers).
Let go with grace: Accept impermanence (quiet flowers fall, with ease).
This passage encourages us to focus on our inner world and cultivate a sense of peace that is independent of external circumstances. By letting go of dissatisfaction and embracing acceptance, we can find a sense of calm that allows us to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of life.
