What is the original Chinese?

春有百花秋有月夏有涼風冬有雪若無閑事挂心頭便是人間好時節. Translated from the original Chinese by Spartan Surfers.

若無閑事挂心頭，便是人間好時節

If nothing useless clutters your mind, every season is a good one.

Wumen, Wumenguan 19, Wumen's verse

What it means

Spring has flowers, autumn the moon, summer a breeze, winter snow. What spoils the season is the clutter we carry, not the weather. Put down what doesn't matter and any day becomes a good one.
