"The difference in people comes from spare time," Einstein said.

61. Amateur activities are more important than careers
Hu Shi said: "Amateur activities are more important than careers, because a person's future often depends on how he spends his leisure time."
Hua Luogeng said: "Time is made up of minutes and seconds. Only those who are good at using sporadic time will achieve greater results."
Born in 19o7, Japanese Buddhist master Taidao Matsuhara was a 50-year-old man-made man-made man-made man-made man-made man-made man-made man-made man-made man-made man-made people, and the Japanese in his 50s is a great luxury for some people. Some died of misfortune when they were born; some died of drowning in their teens; some died of car accidents in their twenties; some died of terminal illness in their thirties, and some died of earthquakes in their 40s;
Some people died in their 50s and crashes. People are very lucky to live. Matsuhara Yasudao is particularly lucky. He has lived in more than 100 years old. Before he was fifty, he was very ordinary, busy with work, busy making money, and busy supporting his family. He only began to live to realize himself and create himself after he was fifty. At the age of 65, he became famous for his "Introduction to the Heart Sutra of Prajna". Since then, he has been out of control and has released new works every year. He has written 130 works so far, becoming a miracle in the Japanese Buddhist community.
During his long missionary and writing career, he realized the rule of "the most simple way". He was once a ill person. Fortunately, he met a rare and good doctor who cured his depression and kidney disease with both symptoms and root causes. Matsuhara Yado learned a truth from it: a healthy mentality is the most important! From then on, his life was extended by his spiritual health method for more than 50 years. His motto is: study for life and stop until death!
In a letter to Ikkyu before the death of the mother of a famous Japanese Zen master Ikkyu, he said: "I am about to pass on this life and return to eternity. I hope you will work hard to understand Buddhism and enlighten all living beings." Matsuhara Yasudao is also a hero who sees the same thing: give more and take less, give back to others, and create a world where all things coexist.
