Chapter 290: Priest
The sun is shining, and it is so unbridled to nourish all things in the world.
Without sunlight, everything will disappear and life will cease to exist.
Such a valuable thing does not require money.
The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost.
Fortunately, this way of heaven is like this, so that all things in the world can reproduce.
Yuan Changwen and Xiaoyu left the temple and came to the antique and cultural relics street built around it, where the famous snacks of Rongcheng were also gathered.
"What would you like to eat?"
"Hehe, Changwen has brought me here several times before, and I want to eat dumplings. ”
The two walked into a dragon copy, and ordered two Zhong dumplings, Ye'erba, oil tea, and a seafood copy.
"Fifty dollars in total. ”
The cashier's voice sounded so uncomfortable.
Fifty dollars!
I buy vegetables and cook in the vegetable market every day, and it is less than 20 yuan!
Two or three days' rations, just like that, it's gone!
Yuan Changwen was a little distressed, he had a deposit of 100,000 yuan, but he was distressed by 50 yuan, I have to say that people are such a wonderful existence.
The two of them sat there, eating slowly.
"Changwen, isn't it a little distressing to spend money just now?" Xiaoyu asked quietly.
"No, no, no, the money is still affordable. Yuan Changwen did not hesitate to lie.
"You eat more," Xiaoyu sandwiched a piece of dumplings to Changwen and said, "With this kind of money-saving mentality, it is difficult for the 10 million to appear." You have to be in a state of 10 million in your hand all the time, whether it is your thoughts or actions, so that you can gradually believe, and 10 million will slowly appear around you. ”
Yuan Changwen pursed his lips and said, "However, I don't have 10 million now." If you spend a lot of money and your savings are gone, won't it be miserable? ”
Xiaoyu: "You forgot, Changwen, what reality you believe will become." If you keep thinking 'I can't afford it,' you're going to really can't afford it." On the contrary, if you firmly believe that 'you are rich and can afford it', then you can afford it. ”
It seems to make a lot of sense.
But it's hard to do.
Yuan Changwen said while eating: "If I can sit in a Mercedes Benz and live in a luxury villa, of course I can easily believe that 'I am a rich man, I can afford it'." But how do I sit here and believe that I am a rich man, isn't that self-deception?"
Xiaoyu: "Then there is another way, which is not to resist the present." Long text, do you feel irritated about your current state? want to break free but can't do anything? Don't even allow others to talk about your current state? When someone asks you how you are, your heart will be inexplicably chuckling?"
Yuan Changwen looked at Xiaoyu in a daze, took a deep breath, and then slowly spit out one word:
"Yes. ”
Xiaoyu smiled: "Oh, don't resist." admit that you don't have money at the moment, admit that you don't have a mansion at the moment, and admit that you can't afford a car at the moment. Don't confront reality, let it exist, surrender to it. ”
Yuan Changwen: "And then what? give up?"
Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "Of course not, you can change it if you want to." It's not a mistake to admit that you don't have money right now, but the root cause of your troubles is that it's not good to think that you don't have money. No money is a state, just like the state of cold and heat, what is good or bad.
Everything is your choice, you don't want that choice, just swap it out. For example, if you don't want to eat dumplings at the moment, just leave it and replace it with a copy. There is no need to hold the dumplings tightly all the time, feel uncomfortable, want to cry, curse, or even avoid the existence of dumplings.
You really don't have the money right now, admit that it exists. Only by acknowledging its existence and acknowledging that it is your own choice can you have the power to change it. ”
Admitting that you don't have any money?
Yes, there was no money, no house, no car.
Accept its existence, surrender to it?
Yuan Changwen tried not to confront reality, tried to surrender to reality.
This?!
A force has descended!
Empty.
It's empty.
The whole person suddenly emptied, as if it had been stuffed with heavy things before, and suddenly put it down, and that feeling of relief filled the whole body.
No money, it doesn't seem to be a big deal at the moment, and there's nothing to worry about.
It's like the tree out there, it exists, it just exists.
If you don't like it, don't overdo it, or leave the place and see something else.
There is no resistance, only surrender.
If you want to change, change it.
Why did I hate it when people talked about it in the first place?
Now that someone tells me this, I smile and admit that I don't have any money.
It's like admitting that you're a man, simple, clear, and unadulterated with any emotions.
Not hypnosis, but relief.
Not to give up, but to surrender.
It's not about death, it's about treating everyone equally.
No money and no money, hot and cold, tall and short, long and short, good and evil, etc., are all the same.
This is the ruthlessness of the avenue and the inaction of the heart?
Xiaoyu smiled, because Changwen's eyes were shining at the moment, like a baby's eyes, clear and bright.
It's just that in an instant, the moment Yuan Changwen began to think, the whole person withdrew from that state.
Although it is not so entangled at this time, it is not as good as the state just now.
Empty.
Yuan Changwen smiled: "Thank you, Xiaoyu." ”
"You should thank yourself. ”
…………
Just because you've experienced this state doesn't mean you'll always be in that state.
It's like a dark room, the door suddenly opens, and a burst of light comes in.
When the door closes again, you'll want to look for ways to keep it open.
But if you don't find a way to open the door for a long time, will you suspect that it was just your own illusion?
Will you even forget that the door exists?
Cultivation is to find ways and means to open that door.
Experience is to let all kinds of things, relationships, and interests impact you in the red dust. And you can still remember that door, and even open it.
Many people who practice the Dharma gradually lose themselves in the experience, and it takes years or even decades to find that door.
Then they will come out of the dark room and come to the other side, to be complete, enlightened, or ascending.
After the two finished eating, they continued to walk, but at this time they walked towards home.
I came out for most of the day, and I was a little tired.
As you walk, the large billboards on the side of the road always attract the eye.
9888 yuan / square!
This is a real estate advertisement.
Yuan Changwen looked at the price, thought about his deposit, and fell into anxiety again.
Thinking about that state just now, it seems as unreal as a dream.
Yuan Changwen: "Alas, Xiaoyu, I'm anxious again." ”
Xiaoyu smiled: "This is normal, that's why there is a cultivation experience." Only by finding one's own faith in one hesitation after another, can faith take root and become as natural as breathing.
You should be thankful for the emergence of these emotions, at least they tell you what shortcomings you still have, and how you should practice. It always takes a lot of beatings before something takes shape. ”
Yuan Changwen: "Thank you? I want to chew and eat those emotions now! and then let them go as a fart!"
Xiaoyu smiled and didn't speak.
"Oops!"
An exclamation rang out from behind the two of them, a priest.
Dressed in robes and hung with crosses, he just carried a dozen boxes in his arms, stacked on top of each other and shook endlessly.
Xiaoyu stepped forward quickly and helped hold the shaking box.
"Thank you, kid, thank you. The old pastor said with a smile, his face full of wrinkles but with a sense of kindness.
Xiaoyu: "It's okay, it's okay, it should be." ”
Yuan Changwen also walked over, afraid of being touched, who knows what is under the priest's robe.
The pastor struggled a little and said, "Child, can you help me carry a few boxes? ”
Xiaoyu looked at Yuan Changwen.
What do you want me to do?
What if this old man touches porcelain?
What if the time comes to you to lose money?
Yuan Changwen looked at Xiaoyu and knew from her expression that he could only accept it.
All right......
Yuan Changwen reached out and took half of the box, it was really a bit heavy.
He casually asked, "Pastor, what's in there?" ”
The priest smiled, "It's a medallion, made of pure gold, so it's a bit heavy." ”
it!
Pure gold?!
Pastor, you have a problem with your head, and you just let people take it for you?
What if I run away?
Also, why don't you take a taxi?
Walking down the street with a stack of gold?
After all, it's someone else's business, and Yuan Changwen can't say anything.
Ten minutes later, the three of them came to the church.
The believers came out to take the box away, and Xiaoyu followed him to the church to have a look.
Yuan Changwen had no interest in religion, so he was outside with the priest.
Pastor: "Thank you, child, that God is with you. ”
It's a good thing you didn't say anything about the Buddha, otherwise you and the master would be double agents.
Yuan Changwen: "You're welcome, pastor. It's just that I have a question, don't you mind. ”
The priest laughed, "Ask, child, the Lord does not refuse any question." ”
Yuan Changwen hesitated for a moment and said:
"Does God Really Exist?"
