靜中靜非眞靜 動處靜得來 纔是性天之眞境 樂處樂非眞樂 苦中樂得來 纔見以體之眞機 (前 88)

It is not true tranquility to keep the quiet mind in a quiet place. Only when you can keep quiet in a noisy place can you get the true state of nature. It is not true pleasure to keep your happy heart in a pleasant place. Only when you can get a pleasant heart even in a painful place can you see the true spirit of the mind. (Book1 88)

It is told that not being swayed by the emotions that arise is the ultimate pleasure.
