However, few people understand this sentence. Many times, people judge the rationality and irrationality around them according to their own standards. This is the reason why most people suffer. They are always looking for the root of irrational phenomena. Do you know that local irrationality may be for the sake of overall harmony? Everyone is unhappy because of lack of cognition. When cognition matches your desire, and you gain insight into the nature of the world, you will be much calmer. 1, I've been thinking about this for a long time. People are born. Parents have worked hard to raise their children, receive education, take part in work, get married and have children. Generations have repeated the cycle round after round, especially those who accompany them, because of illness or accident. I am thinking, what is the meaning of life? Is it the glory and success before people? But I see people who have jobs, power and money. They are not as happy as we thought. "Every family has a difficult experience" tells us that people are helpless. Even the supreme emperor has lonely troubles. The so-called success is just another way of suffering. Even a spoiled queen is honored in front of others and cries after others.
Look at those Indian ascetics. They regard life as a kind of suffering practice. They are unkempt, eating dead bodies floating in the river and drinking muddy water from the Ganges. They regard the process of life as a process of suffering. If we think about the life of an ascetic, what are we unhappy about? If we also regard our life as a practice, all the bad things and bad people I meet are for us, and all the setbacks, hardships and setbacks are for us. I know that success is only the beginning of another kind of suffering, and suffering is a necessary condition for us to achieve. We won't live in illusion, it's the last moment of life, and we can really realize that our suffering is over.
2. How should a person spend his life? We often see some high flyers of 985,211,who saw through the world of mortals and became monks, and some famous actors and singers who chose to escape into an empty door because of their resentment against the secular, but these people often can't fix anything. Nowadays, roadside stalls are popular for divination. Many young people know nothing about the world, but draw lots to predict the future. Now people's nerves are more and more fragile, and they need to find ghosts and seek spiritual comfort from God.
Many people don't realize that the secular world of mortals is the best place to practice. Giving up real life and leaving the world to practice is really the opposite. Wang Yangming said that everyone has his own fixed needle, and the root of everything is always in his heart, but he smiles and looks upside down. The most important thing for a person is to seek from the heart, not from the appearance. Only by grasping the inside can he achieve external success. As the saying goes, Dont Ask For Help is better than helping itself. He can only save himself in an emergency. Others can only give him a little guidance and enlightenment, and the ultimate salvation still depends on himself. Outside, with the help of others to improve themselves, you can't escape from society and hide in the deep mountains and forests. Society is a melting pot for us to exercise ourselves. However, most of us get it backwards. When we are in trouble, we always draw lots to ask questions or appeal to others. The best mentality is to take it calmly when you encounter difficulties and take it calmly when you succeed. In fact, life is to exercise our own hearts. When you are in financial difficulties, try your best to tide over the difficulties. When the husband and wife are not in harmony, the ideas are compounded; When your career is blocked, try to make your career smooth. When something happens, you can ask your heart directly in the middle of the night and save yourself. This is enlightenment. No matter what happens, be careful when you feel dependent on others. The truth is always plain, and those routines are always confusing. You should grasp your own needle.
3. When our cognition matches our own desires, when we face the gains and losses, we can look down on the gains and losses; Facing life and death, with the fearless spirit of death, our hearts will be strong enough, and it is impossible to be unhappy at this time. When our cognition is hierarchical enough, we can see the essence of things through their appearances. Everything is in front of you, so you can keep an open mind and ignore the world. This ability is like the Buddha of Sakyamuni, the benevolence of Confucianism and the Tao of Taoism. It can overlook all beings and see itself alive. With this ability, you will live freely, freely and happily every day!
