舍之道：
放下的力量，
得来的智慧
The Way of Release:
The Power of Letting Go,
and the Wisdom of Gaining
一、舍，是智慧的开端
I. The Beginning of Wisdom
“无舍不得”，是古人的智慧。
没有“舍”，就没有“得”；
没有放下，就无法接纳新的可能。
“舍”字的本义，既能容纳，也能放下；
既能拥有，也能释放。
古人造“舍”字时，留下了深刻寓意：
舍，是留有余地；舍，是有容乃大。
当我们真正懂得“舍”，
也就理解了“得”。
Release and wisdom begin together.
“Without letting go, there can be no gain.”
“Without release, nothing new can enter.”
The character 舍 originally meant “dwelling”:
Home — a place to rest.
In image script, 舍 resembled a house
with a person and a touching hand inside.
This means that within a home
one could hold, yet at the same time release;
one could possess, yet at the same time let go.
The brilliance of this character’s design is this:
“舍” is makes room.
“舍” is spaciousness.
When we understand this,
our hearts open, holding the space needed
for all true gain to grow.
二、放下的力量
II. The Power of Letting Go
舍，是一种内敛的力量。
重负卸下，心才轻松；
负担放下，生命自由。
放下执念，心如重生；
放下怨恨，爱有空间；
放下占有，来去自如。
如树落叶，春芽方茂；
如水入海，百川畅流。
舍，能让你看得更远；
舍，能让你更柔和，也更坚强。
Letting go is power.
When you release,
you remove weight, lighten the heart,
and allow life to breathe again.
Let go of fixation, and the mind feels new.
Let go of resentment, and love finds space.
Let go of ownership, and all things move freely.
Like a tree shedding leaves—
making room for spring buds.
Like a river flowing into the sea—
not disappearance, but merging into a greater vastness.
Letting go allows you to see farther,
and in that softness,
you discover a deeper strength.
三、得来的智慧
III. The Wisdom of Release
舍，是新的开始。
当你放下一样东西，
你会迎来一种轻盈。
放下繁杂，得以简明；
放下执着，得以自在；
放下恐惧，得以安宁。
舍得舍得，有舍才有得。
“舍”是放手， “得”是接收。
舍去旧念，新的想法才会生出；
舍掉旧物，新的空间才会显现；
舍下无谓的争夺，
智慧与平和才会悄然走来。
舍，是智慧的前奏；
得，是舍后的回响。
Letting go is beginning.
When you release one thing,
you notice the arrival of another.
Let go of clutter, and gain clarity.
Let go of attachment, and gain freedom.
Let go of fear, and gain peace.
The ancients said:
“To release is to receive;
only by letting go can one gain.”
Release is the open hand;
Gain is the fullness it can hold.
Letting go of old thoughts
gives rise to new insight.
Releasing old things
reveals new space.
Dropping needless struggle
invites wisdom and calm.
Release is the prelude to wisdom;
what you gain is the echo
of the release you provide.
四、总理的舍之道
IV. The Premier’s Way of Release
周恩来总理的一生，处处贯穿一个“舍”字。
他舍弃安逸，选择革命之路；
他舍去小家，成就大家；
他舍去个人的荣耀，托起国家的尊严。
年轻时，他可以拥有优渥的未来，
却将一切投向民族独立、人民解放的事业。
在国际舞台上，他光芒万丈，
却始终把功劳归于人民、归于集体。
他舍去名与利，舍去身与命，
却因“舍”而得——
得来了人民的信任，
得来了世界的敬仰，
得来了民族的未来。
他的“舍”，是一种大智慧；
他的“舍”，化为“得”，
融入历史长河，
与大道同在。
Throughout his life, Premier Zhou Enlai embodied “舍” — release.
He released his own comfort, choosing the road of revolution.
He released his own “small family,” serving the “great family” of the nation.
He released personal glory to lift the dignity of the nation.
In youth, he could have pursued an abundant future,
yet he gave everything to national independence and the people’s liberation.
On the world stage, he shone brightly,
yet he always attributed his achievements to the people and the community.
He released fame and fortune,
He even released his own body and life.
Through that release, he gained
the trust of the people,
the respect of the world,
and the future of the nation.
His “舍” was profound wisdom,
turning letting go into gain,
flowing his life with the river of history,
uniting with the Tao itself.
五、舍之道，是永恒的传承
V. The Way of Release: An Eternal Legacy
“舍”，是一种境界，
也是可以代代传承的智慧。
舍去执念，心才轻盈；
舍去贪求，路才宽阔。
舍，是给真正的丰盈腾出空间。
舍是一种选择，
舍是一种承担，
更是一种深沉的爱——
爱得够深，才愿放手；
心够辽阔，才懂取舍。
总理用一生诠释了“舍”的最高境界。
他的“舍”，成就了人民、成就了国家、成就了世界。
而今天，我们的“舍”，
也将开出新的花、结出新的果，
让道的力量在世代间延续。
Release is a state of being:
Wisdom that can flow through generations.
When we release attachments, the heart grows lighter;
when we release greed, our path grows wider.
Release simply makes space for abundance.
Release is choice,
release is responsibility,
and finally, release is love—
Love deep enough to let go,
Heart wide enough to know what to hold.
Premier Zhou embodied the highest realm of release.
Through his letting go, he fulfilled the people,
fulfilled the nation, and the world.
Today, our own acts of release
bloom into new flowers, bear new fruit,
and carry the power of the Tao
from generation to generation.
