Mountains calm the heart, water broadens the mind

Stepping into the valley, you finally understand the healing power of nature. Distant mountains rise in layers, cliffs tower majestically, pavilions hide in lush green valleys, and white clouds drift over the peaks. Standing among the mountains, listening to the wind whistling through the trees, the restlessness and worries of the world are slowly smoothed away by the vast wilderness, and the heart returns to a state of calm and tranquility. Walking into the deep canyon, red rock walls interweave, streams surge through stone crevices, and waterfalls splash into fine mist. The mountain stream flows steadily, year after year. Walking along the water, many entanglements and obsessions seem to dissipate with the flowing current, and the mind expands along with it. Mountains have integrity, teaching us to settle and hold our ground. Water has spirit, teaching us to be easygoing and inclusive. Walking between mountains and rivers, finding peace in the mountains and openness in the water, we rediscover our most authentic selves amidst the landscape.
