While visiting Master Cheng Yen, a local official said to her, “I had once encountered a matter that most people would not be able to accept, but I did not show any negative emotions on my face.”

The Master replied: 

You should not keep it in your heart too!

The bigger our heart, the greater our blessings. We should treat everything that comes our way with an equanimous mind. The society nowadays is dominated by power, but what people really need is peace and harmony. Social harmony is the true blessing for society!
