It's a weekend again.

Yuan Changwen didn't know why, and walked to the temple again.

Last time, it was here that I met her.

And the master, Luo Luo talked a lot.

Yuan Changwen stood at the door of the temple, hesitating whether to go in.

There are many tourists around, and there are tour guides holding small flags and constantly instructing.

Turtle sellers, monkey sellers, dumb beggars, anyway, the people who come to the temple are all for the sake of goodness, and it is easy to be provoked, thinking "forget it, ask for peace of mind", so they pay for it.

Or think that you want to show yourself as a kind person, so you pay for it.

After all, it was outside the temple gate, and I don't know if it was deliberately done by the monk, or if it was really difficult to drive away, in short, this phenomenon has never disappeared.

"Donor, why stop here and come in. ”

The master seemed to have come back from outside, and happened to meet Yuan Changwen and beckoned him to enter the temple together.

"Yes, Master. ”

Yuan Changwen wanted to refuse, but he felt that refusing at the gate of the temple would be too bad for him, and the most important thing was that he didn't want money anyway.

The two of them came to the backyard again, only this time there was one less girl.

"Donor, seeing that you don't brow, what troubles do you seem to have?"

The master is always light and light, brews good tea, and pours it himself.

Yuan Changwen let out a long sigh and asked, "Master, aren't you troubled?"

The master smiled: "Everything is inevitable, why bother." However, sometimes troubles arise on their own, so you need to practice from time to time to keep your heart open. ”

Yuan Changwen sighed and drank tea, but he didn't want to speak.

Master: "Donor, everything is inevitable, you have to believe that you are the son of God, the son of God, the son of Buddha. Everything is for you, don't worry or worry. On the contrary, you have to be thankful and grateful that it all happened. ”

Yuan Changwen: "Should I be grateful to the people who make me angry? Those things that make me uncomfortable, I should not hate but be thankful?"

Master: "hat-doesn't-kill-you, makes-you-stronger."

it!

Yuan Changwen couldn't believe that the master actually took a mouthful of English?!

Or so inspirational English?!

Master, I feel more and more that you are an undercover agent sent by Jesus.

The master laughed, "Do you think it's unbelievable? I have already told you by my actions that anything can be beyond your knowledge. And a lot of things, looking back after many years, will be thankful for everything now.

If you are grateful at all times, why wait until the future to be grateful? Why not be thankful right now? If you are grateful at every moment, then you will not have to worry about the future.

Because, the future simply does not exist. ”

Yuan Changwen: "I understand what the master means, when I was a child, I also had contact with Buddhism and Taoism, and I liked these things. Later, when I grew up, I naturally lost these things.

If you are grateful at every moment, then the next moment will also be grateful, and naturally the future will also be in a state of gratitude. The fear of the future comes from our own weaving, and I know all of this, but I can't do it. ”

The master smiled mysteriously and said, "It is because you can't do it that your soul rejoices." The arrival of each such moment is the appeal of the soul, and it is the moment when the butterfly is about to break out of its cocoon. So, be grateful. ”

Yuan Changwen: "The soul is cheering?"

Master: "Yes, it craves your awakening. It's like a marathon, what an uncomfortable sport, but for a champion, it's a glorious moment. The same is true for what happens to you.

It is precisely because you can't do it that it happens, and the soul expects you to do it. Now that the truth has been handed over to you, the next thing is your action, always keep your heart and be grateful for things. ”

Yuan Changwen thought about it, hesitated, and said, "Master, do you know that girl last time?"

The master did not answer and asked: "Do you believe in fate? ”

Is that the case again?

Are all monks procrastinators?

Or is it such a justified procrastination?

"Thank you, Master. ”

Yuan Changwen got up and was about to leave, but the master didn't stop him, but said:

"Look at the I Ching more and you will get something. ”

…………

At night, the park bench.

Yuan Changwen didn't go home, and somehow he was relieved in the temple.

But after coming out, it didn't take long for me to be troubled again.

"Young man, I see that your Yin Tang is black, and you must have been unlucky lately. ”

An old Taoist sat beside Yuan Changwen with a black box and a Lang Zhong look.

I'm too lazy to ignore you!

I'm so young, and sitting in the park at night, everyone can tell I'm in a bad mood.

Yintang blackened?

Isn't there a new vocabulary?

On the big night, can you see that my hall is black, when I am a child?

Seeing this, Lao Dao pinched his fingers and exclaimed: "Oh, it's amazing!"

The sound was so loud that it caused the surrounding people to look sideways.

Yuan Changwen was also a little embarrassed, letting people see that he was with the fortune teller.

After all, it is feudal superstition, although Chinese studies have become hot now, but I always feel that I am looking for someone to tell fortunes, as if I am very embarrassed and even afraid of being despised by others.

Thinking of this, Yuan Changwen got up and was about to leave.

"Boy, wait!"

Yuan Changwen was polite, turned around, and wanted to say goodbye.

But Lao Dao's next sentence completely dispelled his idea of leaving.

"The wife is prosperous, the marriage is now, and the beauty of the previous life. ”

it!

Do you want to be so accurate?

This old way stalking himself?

Yuan Changwen frowned and thought carefully.

Many fortune tellers will be correct in explaining some ambiguous words.

For example, "Taoyuan has three knots, and one is lonely".

It can be interpreted as one person left, or it can be interpreted as only one person died.

There are even some fairy words, which are right for everyone.

For example, "the family is not compatible, you don't get along well with your parents, but you still love your parents" and so on.

Everyone is always not in harmony with their parents, after all, it is impossible for two people with complete consciousness to be as harmonious as one person. Besides, even the teeth sometimes reach the tongue!

Listening to the second half of the sentence, "I still love my parents", who dares to say that I don't love my parents? Even if I really hate them to the core, then where does "hatred" come from? In these years, the fortune teller is super good at explaining.

But in this sentence, the words "beautiful woman in the past life" really point out your own situation.

Could it be that this fortune teller is really that powerful?

I don't think so, if it's really that powerful, why do you still have a stall in the park?

Masters have their own feng shui treasures, and those who set up stalls always feel more lo

Yuan Changwen raised his eyebrows, sat down, and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Lao Dao stroked his goatee, shook his head and sighed: "Young man, you are too self-righteous. ”

Hey, old man, I'm not here to listen to you scold me!

If you do this again, don't blame me for turning around and leaving!

Lao Dao squinted his eyes and said, "Young man, were you angry just now?"

Yuan Changwen was stunned for a moment, and lied: "No, how can you be so easy to get angry." ”

Lao Dao: "Very good, very good. Do you know why people get angry?"

Hey, I'm not here to participate!

First scolding me, making my heart fluctuate, and then throwing out questions. If I had just answered that I was angry, the fortune teller would definitely say that he shouldn't be angry or something.

I replied that I was not angry, and the fortune teller would continue the conversation in the form of compliments. No one chooses to end a conversation when they hear a compliment.

, what a means!

Yuan Changwen shrugged and didn't speak.

Lao Dao sighed: "You young man, you are so boring, and you are so vigilant. That's it, who made the world like this? With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, people today have long lost their sense of awe. There is no reverence for nature, no reverence for ghosts and gods, as if with the development of science, everything is fearless.

The explosion of information has made you come into contact with information that you can't read for a lifetime, thinking you know the world and thinking you are in control of the overall situation. In fact, everything is just a vain. ”

Awe?

Is it good to make up myths?

Yuan Changwen: "In the past, people were too ignorant, so they were ignorant, believing in Lei Gong Lei Mu Mountain, River God and the like. Modern science has proven that these are mere physical phenomena. There is no need for worship, worship or the like. ”

Lao Dao smiled and said, "Science? Do you really believe in science?"

Yuan Changwen did not hesitate: "Of course." ”

Lao Dao: "Do you know what the most common essence of scientists is? There is no scientist who does not have a sense of reverence in the face of science. He may be arrogant and despise people with low intelligence, but he will always be small in the face of science.

The number of planets in the universe is like the total amount of sand and gravel on the earth, and we are only a tiny grain of sand in it. You sit on a bench on a street in a basin on a continent on this piece of sand. What qualifications do you think, self-righteous?"

it!

Even Taoist priests are so powerful these days?

It's obviously feudal superstition, but it's talking about science, what's the situation?

Is it up to date?

Yuan Changwen: "I'm not self-righteous. ”

Lao Dao: "No? Then why are you so angry when I say that you are self-righteous? You must know that it is impossible for a person to be hurt by others, and only you can hurt you." ”

It's coming, it's coming, it's coming!

Why refuse to say something that is not easy to understand, but that sounds meaningful, unless you are very resolute?

Curiosity is the ladder of human progress, and it is also the nature engraved in our genes. Without curiosity, there would be no birth of human civilization, let alone everything we have now.

Yuan Changwen: "Please advise." ”

Lao Dao: "It is impossible for other people's words to hurt you." What hurts you is your own obsession, your own prejudice, and your own 'promising'. For example, when people scold you, 'you nouveau riche,' 'you wicked rich man,' do you get angry?"

Yuan Changwen: "No, it's not me." ”

Lao Dao: "That's right, because you know that you are not a nouveau riche, nor are you some evil rich person." So why do you get angry when someone calls you self-righteous? Because you know in your heart that you yourself are self-righteous.

Not only that, but many times, a word or two from someone else can ignite your temper tantrum and have nowhere to put your anger. Where does this anger come from? It's not someone else's words, it's your own heart.

When your inner obsession and inner 'promising' are touched, it will cause emotional resonance. This is the perfect time to reflect on yourself. It's a pity that everyone can't see this, just drifting with emotions. ”

Yuan Changwen: "Shouldn't I be angry when others scold me?

The old saying: "Young man, don't listen with your ears, don't listen with your mind, listen with your heart." ”

What inner listening, don't you just want to say, your words can't stand up to scrutiny, so don't think about it!

Lao Dao: "Young man, you are too distracted, too defensive, and you think you don't believe in anything else." I have already described the insignificance of human beings, and there are many things in this world that you cannot see or hear.

For example, we humans can only see visible light, and we cannot see any light beyond the range of visible light. It's the same with sound, we can't hear sounds that are beyond the frequency of the human ear.

Do you think that in this world, is the range of visible light larger, or is the range of invisible light larger? Is it because the human ear receives more sound frequencies, or is there more sound than the human ear?

You are a small human being, sitting on a park bench in Rongcheng, China, on Earth, and can only see a small part of the light, hear only a small part of the sound, and only remember a small part of the information. What qualifications do you have to calculate your own life?

What is your ability to make judgments about the future? Why do you think you can control the future? And you yourself are worried, anxious, irritable because of things that you can't control.

Are you sure you're not insane?"

Yuan Changwen frowned and didn't speak.

Lao Dao: "The funniest thing is that you don't believe in fatalism, but you act like you believe in fatalism, and then you are in a state of anxiety at all times, and you don't understand you at all." It's like neurosis, there's no pattern at all. ”

Yuan Changwen: "I don't think I feel like a psychopath?"

Lao Dao: "Yes, a madman never thinks of himself as a madman. I ask you, boy, do you believe in fatalism?"

Depend on!

Don't force me to hit someone!

Yuan Changwen: "I don't believe it. ”

Lao Dao: "Then are you usually worried, anxious, and irritable?"

Yuan Changwen wanted to lie, but these emotions were unavoidable by people.

"Yes. ”

Lao Dao smiled and said: "This is very strange, a person who does not believe in fatalism, then he must think that everything he does can create the future." You can change your life through your own behavior, and you can achieve your goals through your own efforts.

In that case, why are you still anxious? Are you afraid that the future will not happen according to your own ideas? As a person who does not believe in fatalism, you should be very calm, because everything in the present is caused by yourself. It is your past actions that add up to what you are in now.

Why are you anxious? Even if the situation is not what you want at the moment, then you should continue to work hard to change the direction of the world and welcome your future.

It's like knowing that if you do a hundred push-ups every night, your biceps will be more developed after a month. You don't do it, you just lie there crying, saying that your well-developed biceps didn't come?

You say, isn't this a neuropathy?"

Yuan Changwen: "What if, I believe in fatalism?"

Lao Dao: "That's even funnier." How can a person who believes in fatalism be anxious? Everything in this world has a fixed number, all your actions are predetermined, and any of your reactions are calculated.

The future has nothing to do with you, so where does the anxiety come from? People who believe in fatalism accept everything calmly. Let you wind and rain, and have nothing to do with me. ”

Yuan Changwen was stunned and seemed speechless.

The moon gradually appeared behind the clouds, illuminating the whole land.

The aunts in the park were a little tired of jumping, and they each said hello and packed up their things and went home.

The security guards also began to patrol around with flashlights to avoid stranded tourists.

"Boy, go back quickly, there are girls waiting for you. If there is fate, we will see you again. Remember, do nothing. ”

Lao Dao took his black suitcase, slung it on his shoulder, and strode out of the park.

Leaving Yuan Changwen alone, he sat on the bench in a daze. [.]
