21. Who is God (2)

Just as Xiao E and his party were driving back to the city, an old man blocked the way. He was tall, on crutches, with white hair and a white beard, but his face was ruddy and in good spirits.

Guo Jiahao immediately stopped the car, ran forward to hold the old man's hand, and said with a smile: Grandpa, why are you here?

Why can't I come? You don't come to see me. Grandpa seemed a little resentful.

The old man is ninety-two years old this year, and he is the younger brother of Guo Jiahao's grandfather, so he should be called the second grandfather. In his early years, he served as a soldier, participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and was arranged to work in the county material company after demobilization, and returned to the village after retirement, planting trees and cultivating forests on the mountain, known as the "old tree god".

Everyone followed the old man up the mountain.

The old man's three stone houses were sturdy, with a layer of cement on the outside. In the middle is the living room, in the east room is the bedroom, and in the west room is the kitchen. The room was very clean, with a table of eight immortals, two antique chairs, a few small wooden benches, and a Huawei laptop on the coffee table.

Old man, are you also surfing the Internet? Pan Lihong asked curiously.

I know everything you young people know, and I also use QQ and WeChat to chat and watch the news through "learning to strengthen the country". The old man said with a smile.

There are three frames hanging on the wall. One is a black-and-white photo of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the other is a black-and-white photo of several old comrades-in-arms, and the other is a color photo of a group photo with city and county leaders.

In the battle of Shangganling, 56 shells fell in one second, and the old squad leader had just finished talking to me, and then he was blown away, leaving only a hat. I had 28 shrapnel on my body, one leg was blown off, and now a prosthetic leg. The old tree god described.

He rolled up his trousers, leaked out the prosthetic leg he had fitted, and said: I don't know what people are pursuing nowadays, buying a house, buying a car, buying a famous bag, showing off their wealth and wasting their busyness, like a swarm of soulless flies, noisy, restless, and not listening to the voice of the soul. I'm also busy, but I'm very idle, I'm busy, I'm busy, I'm busy

After drinking tea, the old tree god led everyone to climb the mountain, and he said with great interest: Look at Phoenix Mountain, thirty miles of barren mountains are dressed in green, Thirty years ago this place was still bare. Do things with a plan, do one acre of work a year, and complete it in 30 years, easily. Some people say that tempering the soul is better, and I say that tempering the mind is better understood. I'm always thinking about how to make my trees grow better and improve our environment, unlike some officials who want to climb faster.

When going down the mountain, the old tree god pointed to a cliff not far away, and said puzzledly: Last year, a young man wanted to jump off the cliff and was stopped by me. He jumped off the cliff in the hope of diving in a big way, and his ambition was not small. I let him buy the fund and make money. I don't advocate stock trading by ordinary people. Young people speculate in stocks, delaying their careers, middle-aged people speculate in stocks, affecting their families, especially children, and the elderly speculate in stocks, affecting their health. If you want to invest in funds, many people want to prove that you can do it, but in fact, you can't do it at all. Whether you can make money depends on whether the market can give you opportunities.

Dust to dust, dust to dust, where it came from, where it went. When I die, I will donate the mountains and forests to the country.

The real god is in the folk, Pan Lihong is full of emotion.

They stayed on the mountain for one night, and the next day the Dongzhi Middle School at the bottom of the mountain asked the old tree god to make a report, and the old tree god asked them to see the construction of the mountain school, so Xiao E and his party followed.

The principal's name is Ju Jie, and he is the first student of Xiao E, with a burly figure and tanned skin from the sun. He helped the old man onto the rostrum, sat down next to him, and let Xiao E sit beside him. Pan Lihong and others sat in the first row of the audience.

The old tree god made a report on the stage, and Xiao E looked at the students in the audience with an indescribable discomfort.

He thought: Thirty years ago, I was teaching here, and today I sit here again to atone for my sins. The secret was never revealed.

If you hadn't entered the county seat, so many things wouldn't have happened.

Are the students who have been beaten and scolded by me and ridiculed by me doing well? Can the students who have been inspired and rewarded by me continue to make progress and realize their ideals? Is the child who climbed to the top of the mountain to show that he is superior still so powerful and unyielding?

He remembered that sports training, Lu Qiang, the most difficult boy in the class, broke away from the team alone, climbed to the top of the mountain and shouted that he was first, Xiao E hit him the hardest that time, and slapped him twice on the ass with a teaching rod, but he still refused and tears remained. I met him once after graduation, and he said that he was grateful to the teacher for the stick, which made him know self-discipline.

After eating, Ju Jie invited Xiao E to the playground. On the beautiful rubber runway, Ju Jie said: Most of the students in our class have done business because of their poor foundation. I got together once a few years ago, but I didn't contact you because I was ashamed (I didn't get into college).

Xiao E thought to himself: I feel ashamed, I shouldn't look down on students in the mountains so much, and I am a student in the mountains. You shouldn't be a deserter.

But he looked at the football field in disguise and asked what business they were doing.

Most of them are e-commerce. You see the pears, peaches, apples, and hawthorns in the mountains are all to be sold, and Ji Qiang, the squad leader of our class, opened a hot pot restaurant, and the ingredients are all mountain goods, and he became a billionaire ten years ago, and now he is also doing e-commerce. Li Hong, the representative of the English class, went abroad, and Wang Na, the representative of the mathematics class, did the domestic and foreign trade of wire, and the monkey with the worst grades became the boss of the construction team. You've funded all of these.

Before Li Hong went abroad, she sent me the mountain goods from home every year, but they have been broken in the past few years.

I really want to get together, Xiao E's eyes are moist, and there is indescribable sadness in his heart.

Not far from the street, Meng Tingwei's song "Whose Tears Are Flying" came from the street, which was poignant, beautiful, ethereal and melancholy.

• Yesterday's tears turn into stars

Today's tears are still waiting

Meteors keep falling every day

Flew past my misty eyes

Don't tell me to believe

Meteors bring good luck

The sad deserter

How can I fulfill the wish I made?

• Whose tears are flying

Isn't it the tears of a shooting star

became the world

Every unhappy heart

Whose tears are flying

Isn't it the tears of a shooting star

Ju Jie said: Teacher, let me bow to you!

Why?

Because of a word.

He can't remember, what words?

You say I'm different from other classmates. That's why I'm going the extra mile to be a different person in your heart.

Oh, remember, there was a time when Xiao E saw that Ju Jie arrived at school very early, so he said casually.

This sentence of yours made me work hard and get admitted to the university. You know that my academic performance is average, and I was not even admitted to an ordinary high school, so I repeated my studies for a year and was admitted to a county key high school. Three years later, he was admitted to the Normal University, and now he is the principal of the university, and he requires the teachers to implement motivational education. Although the results of our students are poor, the overall quality of our school ranks high in the county.

Okay!

Education should not only cultivate good habits, but also cultivate a spirit, an upward spirit, and an unyielding spirit. Ju Jie made a gesture.

In a word, it is a seed. I saw that the seed had taken root, sprouted, grown into a tree, and gave birth to more seeds.

Xiao E felt relieved, a feeling of relief, which made his heart suddenly brighten.

Sticks and banknotes are not as memorable as a word of encouragement for students.

I can afford this bow.

In May 2020, Niubeishan held a seminar on intelligent robot monks, stock trading robots and subconscious development, which was attended by more than 50 scholars and experts from all over the world, and invited the host of Honglin Temple in H Province Minghai Great Monk to participate, the seminar was presided over by Lao Guzi, and Pan Lihong also rushed to participate.

After the epidemic, the elderly care community has established rules and regulations, starting from caring for public property and cherishing every grain of rice. Lao Guzi demanded that a community management system be formulated in accordance with the management regulations of the monastery. Repeatedly evicted from nursing homes.

The robot monk stands outside the temple gate, waiting for the arrival of the guests.

"Master, I was bitten by a flying insect when I was going up the mountain, do you want to kill it?" a guest asked.

"You take a bite of it, too. If you can't bite it, it's a dedication. "The robot monk is very witty.

"You've heard the story of the farmer and the snake, how can you get the best of both worlds?" asked another guest.

"Compassion is important, but so is wisdom. The robot monk held out two thumbs.

The seminar was held in the Zen Room on the second floor.

In the center of the room is a circular conference table with a circle of flowers and some printed materials, and a microphone and a pen in front of each seat. Statues of Shakyamuni Buddha are hung on the walls all around.

Deep Learning argues that neuroscience, which is seen by deep learning researchers as an important source of inspiration, is no longer the primary guide in this field. The reason why its role is waning today is because we don't have enough evidence that the brain is using it as a guide. To get the actual algorithm of the brain, we need to control the activity of thousands of neurons at the same time. Because if we don't, we're far from understanding the simplest and most researchable parts of the brain.

A university professor speaks: In 1958, American neurobiologists David Hubel and To

ste

Wiesel studies the correspondence of the pupillary region to neurons in the cerebral cortex. They made a small 3 mm hole in the back of the cat's skull, inserted electrodes into the hole, measured the activity of neurons, and found a type of cell called "directionally selective cell (O."

ie

tatio

Selective Cell). When the pupil detects the edge of an object in front of you, and that edge points in a certain direction, the neuronal cells become active. This discovery has stimulated further thinking about the nervous system. The working process of the nerve-center-brain is a process of continuous iteration and abstraction.

A Zen master said: The Zen master of the Tang Dynasty in China made a wonderful description of the "symbiosis of environment and wisdom". The husband is not wise, and the wisdom is not born without the environment, and the wisdom is born when the environment is born, and the wisdom is born when the environment is born. Wisdom is born, and there is nothing left. Born in the environment, born without being born. Born without power, although wisdom is not there, there is nothing, although the situation is not nothing. Nothing is not nothing, there is no non-existence, there is no double photo. Wonderful understanding is sluggish, like a fire, and it is blazing. The salary is a metaphor for the wisdom of the many realms, and the fire is more intelligent than the realm. His words say: Attaining emptiness rather than bondage, although the fate is false rather than writing; The double cover is that the emptiness is unattainable, and the double light is the emptiness is all wonderful, neither denying the emptiness, nor clinging to the emptiness, and the heart completely breaks the entanglement of the world's law, and there is no place to live.

The great monk Minghai in his robe said: Buddhism is actually a mind, it should be accurate to the mind, the heart, the thought, and then let our mind be highly orderly. In fact, if you do the orderliness of your mind and do not empty it, your heart has been living in meaning, in a sense of value, in a sense of satisfaction, that is the non-waste of life. If you find it boring, boring, and annoying, that's a waste. Therefore, Buddhism can also express it as a kind of science that makes our minds highly orderly and conserves life energy (life energy is light and longevity). All kinds of disturbing emotions in our minds, some negative emotions that interfere with our normal thinking, are actually wasted.

Lao Guzi said: The state of mental orderliness that the great monk talked about just now is the state that human beings should be in the future. When we have a toothache, it's painful. When we're in pain, how wonderful it is for us to wake up to the fact that we don't have a toothache. There are so many days when teeth don't hurt, but we don't enjoy tooth pain. It's normal for a tooth to not hurt, but we don't know how to recognize and enjoy this normal state until the toothache is. We are not accustomed to connecting to the normal state and benefiting from it. If we know how to return to the present moment and raise the energies of mindfulness, concentration and awareness, we can get in touch with the beauty of life, and we can have happiness and joy immediately.

Mei Cheng went on to say: Now with the update of algorithms, the increase in the amount of data and the development of GPU, we can use many layers to develop neural networks, and the task of artificial intelligence is to observe the neuronal activity in this state and record the activity parameters, such as recording the neuronal activity parameters when the old Zen master is meditating, as a standard to regulate and control people's abnormal neuronal activities, so as to reduce negative emotions, improve health, and develop wisdom.

Pan Lihong spoke: One place is the excitement and concentration point, and with the concentration point, other things will not attract his attention, and it is difficult to interfere. Buddhism is called clear mind and nature, and after seeing nature, it will not be disturbed by the outside world. Of course, the "heart" here is very different from the former "heart". The former is the conscious mind, and the latter is the true heart. The subconscious mind is our destiny, it is like the chaotic state of heaven and earth, and the so-called waking state is mixed with consciousness, not the end. It is feasible to rely on the subconscious mind to make a living, to invent and create. It helps us connect two things that are not related. Inspiration comes from the subconscious, and it is the subconscious that opens a door.

Finally, Pan Lihong made a concluding speech: In short, if China's science and technology want to overtake in corners, we should seek answers from traditional culture.

During the break, Pan Lihong strolls along the path outside the monastery, where flowers bloom on both sides of the road, birds depend on people, and a monk is explaining to several lay people the relationship between self and appearance, such as flowers and trees, although the flowers bloom and fall, but the roots of the trees do not move. Pan Lihong felt an indescribable beauty, this is the joy of self-control, which can only be felt in the ancient temple in the deep mountains, because it brings you unlimited freedom, and it is easy to be covered by noise in the six dusts.

Dripping water and gold, refining life.

One day, Pan Lihong came to the mountain with a mysterious figure, he was medium-sized, his forehead was wrinkled, he was dressed in white civilian clothes, he walked very vigorously, and he spoke with sharp gestures. The robot monk is teaching the longevity medicine king Sun Simiao's "six-character recipe for health preservation" in the nursing home, and Lao Guzi is randomly correcting the movements of some students on the side.

"Preparatory pose: Establish a positive posture to stand, the head is straight, the eyes are slightly closed, the chin is slightly adducted, the shoulders are lowered, the elbows are lowered, and the back is pulled out with the chest, that is, the back has an outward circle, and after practicing the loose strength of the arms in the future, you will feel that the outside of the arms and the back together have an outward support circle. Stand quietly with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.

Practicing the six-character formula pays attention to abdominal breathing, exhaling first and then inhaling, and pronouncing it when exhaling. Read each word six times: shhh-(protect the liver), he--(tonify the heart), exha--(nourish the spleen), si--(good lungs), blow--(strengthen the kidneys), hee--(li sanjiao). ”

After the disciples on duty stepped forward to report, Lao Guzi asked the students to take a rest, and Pan Lihong led the mysterious figure to see. "Master, this is Lei Zaixing, the chairman of the company, who you often mention, is 68 years old this year, three years younger than you. ”

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time!" said Lao Guzi, clasping his hands together.

The sky was high and the clouds were light, the wind was clear and the flowers were gorgeous, and no one knew what they were talking about.

After sending Lei Zaixing and Pan Lihong away, Lao Guzi gave the Niubeishan Sangha a week's vacation, let them go home to accompany their parents, fulfill their filial piety, and then return to the mountain for retreat.

A week later, Lao Guzi kowtowed to his old mother three times in the nursing home, saying that he was going out for a while, and asked his mother not to worry about it. Mother said you can go at ease, my body is strong, and I can cook and wash clothes.

Mei Cheng kowtowed goodbye to his father and said that he would go to work in other provinces, Xiao E said: "My son is a big filial son, the more filial piety, the more obedient, work hard!"

Soon, Chaoyang TV, radio and newspapers reported the news that Lao Guzi had resigned from the temple for financial reasons, and the Civic Sect Bureau asked the temple to close for self-examination. The newspaper also published a commentary urging the Buddha's disciples to "get rid of greed and hatred, and practice the precepts and wisdom diligently." The monastery is closed to visitors, and the nursing home is separated from the monastery by a high wall. Rumors spread in Chaoyang City, some said that Lao Guzi had an affair with a female disciple, and some said that he embezzled the construction funds of the nursing home. Mei Xiaoe didn't believe it, and came from other places to visit Lao Guzi, but unfortunately the gate was closed, the surroundings were deserted, overgrown with weeds, the thousand-year-old red sandalwood tree was still the same, the branches and leaves were sparse, and the temple returned to its previous appearance. He called his mobile phone, Lao Guzi's mobile phone was still turned off, and he pushed the closed door before going down the mountain, and had to leave disappointed.

Floating life is not like a dream, and the lonely shadow shines on the sky. After descending the mountain, the song "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" came faintly from the sky above the temple.

Listen to the youth and usher in laughter, envy many people/The annals of history are gentle and unwilling to write too hard/Fireworks are easy to cold, personnel are easy to divide/And you are asking if I am still serious/After a thousand years, the love of the world is deep, who else is waiting/And the history of the Qing Dynasty How can it not be true Weishu Luoyang City/If you are with the door in the previous life/Follow the red dust Follow me Wandering for a lifetime/The rain is deep in the old hometown/I heard that you are always alone/The mottled city gate is entrenched in the roots of the old trees/The stone slab echoes is/Wait.
