Laughing Buddha Quote

Industriously planting young sprouts in the fields, lower your head and you'll find the skies in the water. One's purity of mind is of utmost importance, a step in retreat is in fact advancement.

This is the quote from Laughing Buddha's book. Or some people may call him Maitreya.


Whatever things happen, just laugh it away.. Tackle hard problems with soft techniques. E.g When Maitreya Buddha was spat on the face from some gangsters, he didn't get angry. He merely just laughed out and walk away.

This explains the sentence,"A step in retreat is in fact advancement." You have good anger management and have attained a higher level of tolerance.
