At the beginning of June, a new issue of the Buddhist supplement was published. These are two books in the first half of the month, one is "Buddhism for Youth" and the other is "Buddhism for the Middle-aged and Elderly". Similar topics, different authors and texts. As soon as it was put on newsstands in large and medium-sized cities across the country, it immediately became the hottest and sought-after publication, and people competed to buy and read it.

The first topic is the breaking of egoism, and can this still attract the attention and circulation of readers and ordinary people? But it is a real phenomenon that has occurred, and there is a great atmosphere of increasing prosperity. Why is this so? This is because the basis of the publication of this new journal is to explain and analyze the most basic problems rooted in the lives of the people, it is very down-to-earth, it can directly grasp the key points of the readers, and the head of the analysis is the Tao, there is no gossip, and most of them directly answer the psychological problems and problems that are entangled in reality that are common to the people.

For example, for the issues that young people are most entangled in and concerned about, the journal raises questions and answers questions in this way. How can you quickly learn the knowledge and skills that you can directly use in reality, how can you quickly turn your entanglements or heart diseases into motivation, and start your own new life and study.

For the first question, the journal analyzes and answers it in this way. If a person wants to learn practical knowledge and skills quickly, it is difficult to say that they dare not speak, but it still requires patience and a certain amount of time. No one can avoid it. However, there are a few key issues in this, I don't know if you can understand it, that is, first, for the objective analysis and grasp of your own current situation, you belong to that stage of people, is it junior high school, high school, vocational school or university with strong professional skills? Second, what kind of capabilities and technologies do you want to get the fastest, and what are the standards. If you don't figure this out, it's hard to find the master or teacher you're looking for.

Thirdly, if you have solved the first two problems, then you need to evaluate the goal you want to achieve quickly, whether you can obtain it so that you can solve life problems independently, or have a bigger dream, so that you can climb to a higher level, and then go to a higher stage of life, start a new life or use this to increase your confidence and courage. It's also important to set realistic goals. The fourth is that I have read a lot of successful books, but they are not effective, and I am very entangled, which is also the most headache for young people. This is because the book is only a few successful conclusions or opinions, and it cannot replace your actions, nor can it solve the problems you face, such as economic conditions, connections, eloquence, endurance, etc., are all problems you face, and the book only summarizes a few requirements or shortcuts, as if you can wish you a step to the sky, which is very unrealistic. In the end, you have to rely on yourself. What do you rely on? That is, as a half-person who is not high or low, but you want to think or do higher and bigger goals that you can't take. In stages, we must solve the basic problems at the bottom in batches before we are qualified to move towards higher goals.

This requires the help of Buddhism. First, don't be impatient, don't get angry, let yourself settle down, quietly and silently think carefully, how to take the first step, how to take the second step, and strengthen yourself and improve yourself in the third step. Planning and then acting, this is a sign that a young person is beginning to mature. Therefore, in Buddhism, it is said that after a period of self-questioning and meditating, you can grasp the laws of things, find out the ways and methods that suit you, determine how to start the road in the future, how to get more contacts and opportunities, whether to take a path that everyone takes, or a road that few people take? Do you want to start a career first, or start directly from a high starting point? Parents and other seniors for guidance, you will gradually have your own opinions and ideas.

In short, the first is to meditate, the second is to find your first master, and the third is to set the lowest goal and conduct practical exercises in a solid manner. This is the most basic strategy for success. As for success stories, look for them yourself, they are everywhere. Learning to motivate your fighting spirit, explore your own potential, and have friends is what you need to do the most. Others may follow. (See page 63 of this journal for meditation methods.)

As for the entanglement or heart disease, this is not only a psychological problem, but also a philosophical one.

For example, are you right about money? I don't think so. One is its source, some people are rich second generations, given by their parents. And you're just an extremely ordinary civilian, and you can't compare. The second is its use, do you want to have money and be as profligate as a rich man, or do you really want to do something serious and get like a tall and heroic person? You have to know all these things yourself, instead of blindly comparing or following the trend, if you can't keep up, it doesn't make any sense, so why bother? The third is its side effects, have you ever thought about it? When you really have a certain amount of wealth, will you live better than you do now? Not necessarily. Why did so many people who had been demolished, bought land, and so on disappeared overnight? This is the kind of person who suddenly became rich from being poor and white, and I don't know who my name was, and when I became rich in time, it would quickly disappear, because that should not belong to you, and you have no ability to grasp the virtue of showing off your ability.

The psychological problem is that you look at others with money, and you don't have money for a while, and you live a shabby life than the people around you, you are not convinced, and you can't prove how strong you are. Everyone's treasure actually has many manifestations, and there are many places that are really much better than others. You have to learn to analyze more deeply and find out your greatest strengths and skills, which is what you should do the most.

This kind of comparison psychology is likely to lead to your hatred of the rich, which in turn will make your cognition less problematic. This rises to the highest level of life. Your outlook on life, values, and even your cosmology have been distorted by reality, and perhaps you will become inhuman, ghostly, perverted, deformed, and other inhuman situations may appear. You must know that you are the only existence in this world, and no one can replace you to become the pearl of your parents or the capital of pride, and no one can replace you as the spiritual pillar of your lover, the only reliance that you can't live without, and the arms of your children like a mountain. They are full of confidence when they look at you, they are extremely happy to hear your call, and even if they dream of you, they have endless yearning and thoughts. If this is the case, then you are already abolished, perverted, powerful, downcast, and have lost your human dignity and nobility. So what qualifications do you have to talk about anything else?
