Chapter 292: The Combination of Happiness and Buddhism

Jiao Mei was curious about Wu Wei's memory of communicating the bridge between secular and religious affairs, she learned that Buddhism leads to practice, short-term monks, and there are also monks at home, so she smiled at Wu Wei and said, You just read and read, but you didn't go there to go there, you don't have the experience of being a monk, and you don't know what is inside, how can you communicate?

Wu Weidao, the world's three major religions all believe that man is the unity of human nature and divinity. Buddhism believes that all sentient beings have Buddha nature, and as long as everyone has some awareness of this inner nature and sees the nature of the mind, that is, the mind is a Buddha. The orthodox doctrine of Christianity holds that the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit are triune, and that the divine nature should be attached to the human nature. In Islam, the gift is given by Allah a priori, and everyone has it, so that Allah can be recognized. Confucianism also believes that everyone can be Yao Shun, affirming the unity of human nature and divinity. From my own personal experience, insisting on self-realization and introspection will always bring surprises to self-discovery, help me achieve perfect self-control, reduce my mistakes in life as much as possible, and reduce or even avoid risks in life. What I understand as building a bridge between the secular and the religious is to seek whether there is any other way for people to see clearly and achieve a pure mind, without having to detach themselves from the world as Buddhism does. Treat your life in the workplace with a spiritual attitude and achieve purification and improvement. Buddhism also advocates that there is a theory of monks practicing at home, but the resistance to practicing at home will be greater, and if you have the confidence and concentration of a monk to practice at home, you can also reach the height of a secular holy monk. My experience is to put your mind on your career and find what suits you as your lifelong sustenance. You don't have to ask for anything else. As an eternal way of success and an immortal path of life, happiness can also help people become perfect, so that people can express the spirituality of knowing and being close to each other and harmonious with all things, and all kinds of encounters and fates will become opportunities for practice. Have the ability to perceive the nature of all things. If man can strive to become an advanced intelligent being, he will not be far from the standard of an omniscient and all-powerful God.

Jiao Mei smiled, this is a new theory, if everyone can know about music in this way, the world will be a different scene. I want to make Madara Bamboo Love into an aircraft carrier giant ship of life, which can be regarded as a happy business.

Wu Weidao, the key is that you can experience it yourself, and make yourself feel at ease. My son once told me that he felt that he was a good fit for his job and that he was waiting for him.

Jiao Mei smiled. That's really a son inheriting his father's business. How do you feel about your career in education?

Wu Weidao, I feel that it is particularly suitable for me, free and easy, how to write an article in a lecture does not need to be signed and approved by the leaders of the unit, voted by colleagues, and some of the truths I have realized can be told to students in class at any time.

Jiao Mei said, I see the user wearing the clothes I designed with my own hands and love the way they like, and my heart is full of joy.

Wu Weidao, Buddhism talks about self-discipline, and Christianity talks about loving others as oneself. Our profession can be pleasing to ourselves and others, and it is the same in principle. Happiness is to build a bridge between the secular and the reliever.

I was attending a meeting and happened to be sitting at the same table as the director of the Religious Affairs Bureau, so I asked him curiously. How is religion developing in China? He said that there are 6 billion people in the world, 1 billion people do not believe in religion, and 1.3 billion people in China. Most of the non-religious people are in China. When I returned home, I looked at the world atlas with curiosity, and sure enough, I saw that the vast majority of the people in the world are religious. Only a handful of countries in China, North Korea, and Vietnam do not believe in religion. Not being religious is not the same as not being baptized by education. The education of Confucius also has a procedure, the knowledge of self-cultivation and the rule of the family to level the world, my understanding, Buddhism talks about kindness, Christianity talks about love, Confucianism talks about righteousness, righteousness is responsibility. Responsibility, with a weak body, the strength of muscles and bones, there is a small responsibility and a big responsibility. The spirit of responsibility can breed bravery, sacrifice, and tolerance. We Chinese are in trouble, not to run away from it, but to inspire the spirit of resistance to change our destiny.

The ideal personality is different from the personality tendencies expressed by the actual concrete person we usually describe, and its outline can only be roughly described here. The ideal personality should be a complex crystalline, clean and transparent, easy for people to see, understand, close or even close, and it is unpredictable, so that it can obtain ecological adaptability; Its crystallization exudes discernment, sensitivity, and makes it wise to avoid falling into confusion; It is open, generous, eclectic, collecting and absorbing excellent materials through tempering and baptism and casting into internal qualifications, so that it is firm but not brittle, clean but not delicate, vertical and knotty, soft but not slippery; Its combination of rigidity and softness makes it able to stretch freely with personality in various extrusions, and can be in that kind of free stretching without losing responsibility; It is a crystalline, but it has a kind of spiritual goodness that is in harmony with all things, close to each other, and makes people feel its affinity and warmth; Although it is lonely in the world, it never feels lonely and lonely, so it has the patience to deal with any suffering in life and life. The ideal personality should naturally have the heat of ideal expectations, the passion of smelting and burning, and exude the characteristics of vigorous life.

Jiao Mei said, do you mean that religion helps people to know their own minds, as you said, to help people achieve perfect self-control?

Wu Weidao, the key is enlightenment. The so-called bridge is just a figurative statement, as long as you realize the pure mind, that is, the Buddha's mind, you can become a monk at home. Not in form.

Jiao Mei said, have you realized a pure heart? How did you get enlightened? Can you tell me about it?

Wu Weidao, yes, it's just that I can explain it clearly. I once had a strange experience that prompted me to think from the perspective of the human heart, to reflect on my own mental journey, some of which were not good, and it was extremely difficult to imagine that Ah Q would delete like that. In that mental process, sometimes I felt very painful when I encountered some scenes, and in the midst of the pain, I reflected on my heart, experienced the joy that self-cultivation brought to me, and gradually strengthened my confidence in cultivating my mind. Now I want to test my heart with the Dharma.

Jiao Mei said, it is not easy for you to do this, it is very good, it will be better if you can get the blessing of the Buddha.

He said, I understand, does blessing mean power?

Jiao Mei said, it can also be understood so much. Your comprehension is so good, if you use your comprehension to realize the Buddha, you will definitely get it. What do you think about when you encounter problems, and you have also summed up a lot of rules, are they also quite effective for your own self-cultivation?

Wu Weidao, as I say in Buddhism, some people who have realized the Buddha talk about the experience of cultivating the mind. Hold on to your thoughts, stick to the good ones, and discard the bad ones. I think it's strange that Buddhism talks about a pure mind, and a pure mind is very clean, but can it be understood that there is no thought in the mind? Then even the love and kindness are gone?

Jiao Mei said, that is a misunderstanding. I understand that the pure mind in Buddhism is targeted, and it is aimed at greed and hatred. The Buddha speaks of great compassion, and Shakyamuni's translation is to give birth to a pure mind, which is to eliminate greed and hatred.

She asked again, how do you understand that happiness is also the method of cultivating the mind? If you didn't have that experience process, how could others believe it, thinking that you were copying someone else's rather than your own personal understanding, especially after experiencing the vicissitudes of life.

Wu Weidao. My understanding of happiness is that karma is nothing more than a medium, a medium, and a carrier for cultivating the mind. Bricks, tiles, flowers, plants, and trees can all become a medium for cultivating the mind, and they can regard karma as the object of cultivation, and realize karma with one mind, and it is easy for them to realize the profession they are engaged in. If you can do a good job and be successful, you can also cultivate your heart when you are successful, and if you are in a good mood, you can help yourself to purify your mind and realize your karma. Spiritual cultivation and practice complement each other, symbiosis and mutual assistance. What kind of medium we meet and combine with happiness is also the harmony of karma. The world is formed by the harmony of fate, and the fate arises and the fate disperses and disappears. Without karma and harmony, everything is empty. Looking at the world from the perspective of cause and effect, even the existence of "me" is because of the causes and conditions in which I live, and without the causes and conditions in which I am located, even "me" does not exist anymore, and because of "me", it contributes to the vast and boundless network of causes and conditions. Each person has a different web of causes and conditions that constitute their own destiny. In the web of cause and harmony, man is free, yet in bondage and slavery. Think about it, karma and harmony condense so many factors, and the cherishing attitude of cherishing life is doubly precious, and the attitude of cherishing extends from cherishing karma to the thousands of factors that make up karma, turning the consciousness of servitude into following nature.

I myself summed up the double for, both for the Tao and for the people.

She said, I can understand what you mean, be specific.

Wu is the way, for the way, that is, the profession must have a height, and being a person is self-cultivation, so as to create a harmonious interpersonal relationship environment for yourself. This has influenced the way I live in the world.

Jiao Mei said, your understanding is to turn Buddhism into a worldly law.

Wu Weidao, I remembered that the ancestor said, the difficulty, I am practicing with a pure heart, and I have also been understood by some colleagues, but there are also puzzled people who say it, and ask me what is the plan to do things?

Jiao Mei asked, in the process of your career, it is natural to find that the colleagues around you are greedy and angry, what should you do?

Wu is the way, understanding, necessary pandering, limiting.

She said, I know what you're thinking.

Wu Weidao, I was not rated as advanced in the unit at that time, I couldn't be promoted if I wanted to, my income was low, I couldn't write articles and I couldn't publish them, I couldn't get into a crack under my feet, and I didn't have a manuscript fee for publication. How do you think, find the reason from yourself, and be good at learning from the people around you. Focus on the positive aspects of life, do things, and think to do things well, so that people are satisfied. The lecture is well written. Even if the article is not published, it is nothing, and I can look at it under the nine springs, and I can contribute to the society as much as I can, even if I don't achieve anything, I feel at ease.

She smiled and said, "Why don't you learn this and that?" Learn Buddhism and understand the fundamentals of Buddhism. What you practice is the Buddha's way, practice, and turn the workplace into a dojo. Repair while doing, do diligent practice. There is no end to life. If any bad thoughts arise in my heart, it is easy to delete and eliminate them.

Wu Weidao, I understand that the heart is different from wisdom, and there are those who manage the heart, and the wisdom that can manage the heart is the highest wisdom. The human heart is changeable and difficult to tie, and the Buddha and Jesus taught people how to control their hearts.

Jiao Mei said, you understand the right person like this. If you are happy with your work, you should also learn from the Dharma, which is also the Dharma of the world, you don't have to be a monk, you can also practice at home, so you can expand the audience of the Dharma. Buddhism teaches from the mind.

Wu Weidao, I understand that there can be many ways and methods of cultivation, and the key is whether or not you are sincere. His meaning was obvious, he didn't want her to become a monk.

She naturally understood what he meant, but said, I'm just afraid that I don't have your concentration.

He said, "I also have times when I am upset, and my head seems to explode.

Jiao Mei said, at that moment, how did you stabilize your mind.

He said, I still put my mind on the post. The idea starts with what you can do in front of you, and when you think about it, you quickly calm down. Applying one's mind to one's profession also has the effect of subduing one's own mind. When it comes to a career, it's always easy to find something to do and something that is not difficult to do. There are many successful people who teach successful experiences, and after listening to them, they feel that there is no difficulty, it sounds very simple, and even they have done it themselves, but unfortunately they did not adhere to it, and they did not publicize it.

Jiao Mei said. I can imagine some people working hard to divert and dispel their troubles, and the troubles appear again after the work is done, which is very similar to the use of alcohol to eliminate sorrows, and it is not a fundamental method of subduing.

Wu Weidao, the Dharma I understand is focused on the heart. That is, to make a vow. The power of the Buddha's wish can be described as magnificent. Yongzhi listened to me talk about Ah Q, laughed, and said that a young man from a rural background spoke on this stage, and said that it was measured by the standard of Buddhism. I'm too shallow, but it's deep from a secular perspective. What is the difference between that comfort and Dharma comfort?

She smiled and said, you haven't removed the roots, and the roots of the disease have not been removed. Disturbing minds will continue to arise.

He couldn't help but ask, how can a Buddha comfort himself when he is bullied by others?

She laughed. The Bible says that if he hits you on the left cheek, you stretch out the right cheek and let him hit it.

Wu Wei asked, will the Buddha ask, why did you hit me? Or forgiveness?

She smiled and said, the debt you said will be gone if you repay it, but love is not, love you is not negotiable, it has nothing to do with how you treat me. Some say it's clever utilitarianism. You always do good deeds for others, but others don't appreciate it or thank you, you still do it hard, and there will always be times to impress him. Such thoughts still do not leave the root of trouble. Buddhas don't want to reciprocate.

Wu Wei asked again, there is no expectation of doing things, what is done is done, does he not care if he does it well or badly?

She said, what do you imagine the Buddha to look like, how can the Buddha be so vulgar. The Buddha will change the Dharma and never tire of benefiting sentient beings. Buddhists also say that they can get twice the result with half the effort. Buddhism itself is also evolving, and the epiphany of Zen Buddhism, if you don't realize it, it is useless to have a lot of rules and precepts in your heart. Epiphany is compared to the practice that accumulates over time.

He said, the worldly Dharma is a very good formulation, I want to build a bridge, Buddhism talks about the worldly Dharma, whether you are a monk or a monk, the key is to have a pure mind. It's easy for a monk to keep a pure mind, but it's not easy to be at home, not only in the heart, but also in the heart, there are precepts for monks, there are worldly chores at home, there are offerings for monks, and rich monks, the way of offering is very modern, mobile phones and computers are all online, I don't know if there are any assessment methods in the family, such as how much to solicit, like attracting investment, and also assessing the monks.

She smiled and said, "Your idea is so interesting, what's the difference between that and the world." However, in today's society, especially in China, it is difficult to have a market for the practice of poor monks. In India, the monks had to beg for food, and when they spread to China, they said that the missionaries were not teachers and should be respected, so that they had offerings, and the offerings had to meet the requirements of fashion. Miracles, Buddhism also says, why practice gets good rewards, saying that you don't understand, your heart is not sincere, the way of cultivation is wrong, you are wrong, you are wrong. If you don't receive good fortune, your happiness will be full of good luck and many benefits, and in this respect, it will be different from the Dharma. If you don't have good fortune, it's hard to hold on, and there is a utilitarian mind that dominates you. It is difficult for the heart to be truly pure. If the Buddha was reincarnated, what would he think of happiness? Naturally, he understood what was going on at a glance. Is it consistent with his worldly law?

Wu Weidao, I also have the heart to let the owner Zhang undergo the test of Buddhism. From Christianity, I saw that it was too difficult to practice the Dharma in the world. I tell you the story of my mother, where there is a sharp conflict between faith in God and love. Then he told the story of his mother.

Then he said, I think that the joy of practice, the purity and joy that practice brings, is difficult to achieve in the joy of worldly success, and people always attach too many things to success, and the greater the success, the more additional thoughts, and the more troubles will be brought after success. How can the heart be purified? I can't put it down.

She said, I think that Faxi is indeed different from the joy of worldly success, that is the feeling of letting go of all fame and fortune, extremely relaxed, and completely different from the worldly kind of additional and strong expectations of success. Buddhism also talks about skillfulness and convenience, and you get twice the result with half the effort, but if you don't get things done, how can you perfect people? Such laissez-faire is not in line with the spirit of Buddhism at all. The understanding of Buddhism and worldly occupations are also ways and means to achieve human beings, and of course we must strive to do a good job.

She also said, "In the Buddha world, I like the Buddha of Joy the most, and when I see the Buddha of Joy, I think of you, and after the difficult baptism of self-purification, you have found that the Dharma of happiness and karma that you have cultivated is the same as the Dharma.

Wu Wei had a conversation with Jiaomei, and his spiritual world seemed to have undergone the baptism of Buddhism, realized the grafting of the law of happiness and Buddhism, and completed the most significant revision and upgrading, turning into a majestic and endless internal force, which is about to come out. He felt that he had transcended from the state of indulging in secular music, as if he was immersed in the vast ocean of love liquid, and the individual who walked through his heart was all smiling and happy, and then seeing that everything was happy, he was also surprised how his state of mind could have changed so much. Looking at Jiao Mei again, she turned into a happy demeanor, looking at him with a smile and peace, it was simply the reappearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva's Dharma body.

Love turns into willingness, enemies into friends, friends into relatives, relatives into one, there is a way, and there is a chance to be skillful.

A little knowledge of Buddhism, the world is like the human heart was originally pure and one, and then look at the world and the human heart, feel that the unpolluted world and the human heart are extremely clear, amiable, lovely and gratifying, and the polluted world and the human heart has become hateful, disgusting and hateful, and like the polluted rivers, lakes and seas, surging with natural filtration and purification, the world and the human heart must be vigorously restored to the wind and uprightness, and can also be lovely and gratifying.
