Happu Fudo
Unmoved by the Eight Winds
八風不動 is the short version, popularized in Japanese Zen Buddhism, of the original Chinese phrase 八風吹不動.
Literal meaning: “Unmoved by the Eight Winds”
The origin is Chinese, but it was later adopted into Japanese Zen. Here’s a little backstory:
The original famous anecdote is from Song Dynasty China, involving the poet-official 蘇東坡 (Su Dongpo / Su Shi, 1037–1101) and Zen master 佛印 (Foyin).
Su Dongpo wrote 八風吹不動，一屁打過江
“The Eight Winds cannot move me; Yet one fart blows me across the river.”
Foyin’s irreverent reply exposed Su Dongpo’s ego, which is kind of a classic Zen teaching story.

There is a shorter Japanese Zen version, 八風不動, which drops the middle character. Often romanized as happū fudō. The romanization of 八風吹不動 is arguably happū fukedomo ugokazu or happū sui fudō.
The farts of others stink, but one’s own smells sweet
别人屁臭自家香 literally translates as:
Other people's flatulence stinks, [but] one's own is fragrant.
Figuratively, this means:
Some people criticize defects in others that they (seem to) treasure in themselves.
