隨著時代的進步和社會的發展，如果我們不能接受不斷湧現的新事物，就會感到壓抑。這也意味著我們停止了成長，因為成長就是不斷接受新事物，包括新的思維、觀念、知識和方法。
接受新事物首先需要我們敞開心扉。如果不能接受與自己習慣不同的事物，我們就會與社會脫節，到處都會感到難以適應。情形就像我們打開窗戶，陽光會照進來，風雨也會進來，如果擔心曬傷皮膚或淋濕衣服，而把窗戶緊閉，我們也會因陰暗的環境而感到不舒服。
走進陽光裡或風雨中，不一定要走到千里之外。在我們的周圍就有很多新事物。只要保持好奇心，願意觀察任何事物，思考它們存在的原因，我們就能接受。也不用擔心新事物會破壞我們的生活，應該相信它們的出現必然有積極的一面，也應該相信自己能夠因應新事物而作出改變。
即使面對苦難，如果擁有平靜的心態，我們也能接受。當意識到所有苦難都是為磨練我們而發生，也就能接受吃苦是一種恩典。養在室內的植物脆弱而經不起風吹雨打，未曾受過磨練的人也不堪一擊。人的智慧只有在面對困難時才會大幅提升。所以，接受苦難就像接受風雨那樣，能讓我們更加強壯。
通過學習和思考，我們的頭腦也能接受更多的知識，使自己更有勇氣接受生活的考驗。當獲得了足夠的意識，我們就獲得了一個能接受任何事物的新生命。那麼，我們最需要的那種寧靜也將到來。死亡對於我們必然是新事物，如果能夠接受，我們就能進入寧靜的境界。
就像只能以給予去證明自己接受了別人的愛一樣，當我們能夠感激大自然，而以付出愛心作為回報，才能證明我們已經接受自然的一切。因此，不斷接受新事物，意味著為生命創造更健康的環境。這是因為，所有生命都是大自然的孩子，熱愛生命就是報答大自然最適當的行動，也是我們接受一切的最佳證明。

The path to Tranquility (55)
Continuously accepting new things
With the progress of times and the development of society, if we cannot accept the constantly emerging new things, we will feel oppressed. This also means that we have stopped growing, because growth is to continuously accept new things, including new thinking, concepts, knowledge, and methods.
Accepting new things first requires us to open our hearts. If we cannot accept things that are different from our habits, we will be out of touch with society and feel difficult to adapt everywhere. The situation is like when we open the window, the sun will shine in, and the wind and rain will come in. If we worry about sunburn or wet clothes and close the windows tightly, we will also feel uncomfortable due to the dark environment.
Walking into the sunshine or the wind and rain, we don't necessarily have to go thousands of miles away. There are many new things around us. As long as we maintain curiosity, are willing to observe anything, and think about the reasons for their existence, we can accept them. Don't worry that new things will disrupt our lives, we should believe that their appearance must have a positive side, and should also believe that we can make changes in response to new things.
Even when facing suffering, if we have a calm mind, we can also accept it. When we realize that all suffering happens to temper us, we can also accept that suffering is a kind of grace. Plants kept indoors are weak and cannot withstand the wind and rain, and people who have never been tempered are also vulnerable. Human wisdom is greatly improved only when facing difficulties. Therefore, accepting suffering is like accepting wind and rain, which can make us stronger.
Through learning and thinking, our minds can also accept more knowledge, making us more courageous to accept the test of life. When we have enough consciousness, we have gained a new life that can accept anything. Then, the tranquility we need most will come. Death is inevitably a new thing for us, if we can accept it, we can enter a tranquil realm.
Just like we can only prove that we accept others' love by giving, when we can be grateful to nature and repay with love, we can prove that we have accepted everything from nature. Therefore, continuously accepting new things means creating a healthier environment for all lives. This is because, all lives are children of nature, and loving all lives is the most appropriate action to repay nature, and it is also the best proof that we accept everything.
