man 's will , not heaven , decides(rén dìng shèng tiān)

man 's will , not heaven , decides

The Chinese idiom, Pinyin is R é nd ì ngsh è ngTi ā n, has two meanings: broadly speaking, human beings can overcome and transform nature through their own strength; narrowly speaking, everyone can change their own destiny. The key to the success of man lies in the word "Ding", which means unity and cooperation in the broad sense and peace of mind in the narrow sense.

If the human mind can settle down, free from external interference, not moved by external things, it can change the fate of the creation. It can also be extended to a man of firm will who can overcome all difficulties.

It is similar to the meaning of "peace of mind, stable thatched cottage, good nature and fragrant vegetable roots". The key lies in peace of mind and good nature. For Buddhists, it's Zen meditation, "outside is Zen, inside is not chaos, outside is not chaos, heart is not chaos". Those who practice deep meditation can overcome the reincarnation of destiny.
