I heard this legend while I was on vacation in Hawaii and had dinner with a local friend in Nakamura. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a steady job at the magazine, I got my first paid leave. At that time, beaches around the world were suddenly deserted because of a dangerous tsunami and then several terrorist attacks against foreign tourists on the beaches. The price of a holiday to one of the world's most famous beaches has skyrocketed.

Because I always have a heart for death, I don't mind the risks that people avoid and avoid.

I thought to myself, it is just right to encounter a big tsunami, and it will be the last time in my life to be able to return to the west in such a magnificent apocalyptic landscape. In the event of a terrorist attack, if I can use my body to block a tourist and save his life, it will also give this life its due use and meaning.

So, I took advantage of this unprecedented downturn in prices and set out on a vacation to Hawaii.

Because the price is extremely cheap, I can enjoy extreme luxury at a civilian price along the way.

I chose to stay at the Hilton-Waikoloa-Village in Dolphin-Quest.

This is a five-star luxury resort owned by Hilton, and its most famous sight is that it houses a very beautiful dolphin.

After checking in at the hotel, I took a break, changed into my swimsuit, and went to the beach opposite the hotel, watching the layers of white waves surging endlessly from the sky. Tropical plants sway gracefully in the sea breeze.

The scenery of the beach is so beautiful that it makes your blood clot, but there are only a handful of tourists on the beach.

I've never seen such a deserted beach.

There are a number of bars and small restaurants by the beach. Usually, it's always full, with tourists from all over the world enjoying wine and food, couples in pairs, and a variety of accents from all over the world.

But now, more than half of the shops are closed, and the few that have opened are all closed.

This desolate and deserted scene reminds me of the tragic sight of tourists strewn across the beach when the tsunami swept in, and the limbs flying when the bombs exploded.

I couldn't help but feel a little drumming in my heart. Am I really sane when I come to a place like this at such a time?

After a long walk around and no intention of sitting in the empty bar for fun, I returned to the hotel in a huff.

When I was bored, I suddenly received a call from Nakamura.

He excitedly said that he had just been sent here for a meeting by the company. Because the hotel was all about the floor price at this time, his company thought that it could hold a cross-border training for managers here.

Otherwise, how can I say that it is particularly fateful. If the fate of each other is deep enough, at the ends of the earth, you can meet anywhere.

In the evening, Nakamura ended his meeting and rushed over from Hilton-Hawaiian-Village, located by Waikiki Beach. At this time, another five-star resort owned by Hilton.

To my surprise, he rented an elongated white Lincoln.

He said that he didn't want to walk through the streets so stylishly, but because there was no business to do, the hotel's extended Lincoln can now send guests to the Hilton here for free, and with a little more money, he can take guests to the beach, and he can also make an appointment to pick up the hotels on both sides.

With such a bargain, how could he let it go, so Nakamura didn't hesitate to get in the car and come over.

He said that while there are no dolphins to swim in the pool at the Hilton, there are great views, restaurants and movie theaters around, and a good Japanese noodle restaurant for a late-night snack. The Japanese proprietress of that noodle shop is very real, the noodles are carefully handmade, and the soup is particularly delicious, which makes people unforgettable.

So, I put on a dress and went with him to the Hilton over there.

After visiting the Polynesian décor rooms in Nakamura, we ate together at an ASTON restaurant near the hotel.

Nakamura has obviously been here many times before and has memorized the menu.

He told me that because there are so many Japanese people in Hawaii, many of the company's executives buy other businesses here, and many of them settle here after retirement. He had a lot of opportunities to travel to Hawaii and was familiar with it.

While we were eating, he told me a lot of stories about Hawaii, especially how the queen wanted to restore the autocracy before and after Hawaii was part of the United States of America, and how she was overthrown by the local people. He said that he learned this in the company's overseas personnel training course. Employees who are stationed overseas have the opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the history and culture of the place where they are stationed in this training course.

While we were eating, Nakamura met a familiar local friend. Nakamura saw him in the crowd from afar and stood up to greet him, so he was invited to sit down and enjoy a delicious meal with us.

The gentleman's name is HWZ. He is a resident of Japanese descent, but his ancestors have a little Han Chinese ancestry. One of his ancestors, who lived in Ningbo during the Southern Song Dynasty and engaged in overseas trade, married the daughter of a wealthy Chinese merchant. Therefore, his countenance has many Han characteristics.

He is fluent in both Chinese and Japanese. He is also very cheerful and talkative. Although Nakamura invited him over for dinner to accompany him, mainly because he wanted him to introduce me to the fun places in Hawaii, after the conversation really began, he quickly turned against the guest and became the leader of the conversation.

It was during that meal that HWZ told us about that Hawaiian legend.

He said that the indigenous people of Polynesia believe that every man and woman who are related to each other have an invisible thread on the tip of their finger.

These threads were the marks of the gods for their search for each other.

The threads travel through time and space, connected to each other, and although they cannot be seen with the naked eye in life and life, they cannot break free in any way. If you try to break the threads or break free of the connection, the threads will become more and more tightly entangled, causing pain for both parties being connected.

When I heard this, my heart was touched, and I said, "Well, is there no way to solve it?" ”

"Of course, there is a solution to all the problems in the world," HWZ said. ”

"The only way to untie these threads," he said, "is for both parties to give each other their full love unconditionally." ”

He said: "It is only when the two parties become one with complete selfless love, and there is no way to separate, that the thread loses its effect and unravels itself." ”

Nakamura and I looked at each other.

I smiled at HWZ, no comments and other language.

Nakamura said, "What's the point of unraveling like that? Isn't it exactly the same as not unraveling? ”

HWZ smiled inside the white wreath of white flowers piled up around his neck, and he opened his mouth on his dark face to look at Nakamura and smiled: "You kid, isn't it good for someone to love you forever unconditionally?" ”

He said, "Isn't that what heaven is all about? ”

Nakamura looks at me. I quickly lowered my eyes and looked at the cream soup on the plate.

Later, while we were eating, we talked a little bit about this legend.

I asked HWZ: "Judging from this legend, do Polynesians believe in reincarnation?" ”

"Many peoples in the world believe in the existence of reincarnation, except for Christianity and Islam," HWZ said seriously. ”

HWZ said that according to his understanding of the mestizo culture, this Polynesian legend indicates something very important.

"This means that we will never say goodbye to our loved ones," he said. ”

He said, "Even if we say goodbye to our loved ones in this life, we will meet in another universe. ”

He said: "Every time we get together, there is a familiar pull, a response to each other's needs, and a continuation of the unfulfilled wishes of the previous life. It's like a spiritual process. ”

I couldn't help but be fascinated by his words. I stared at him intently.

"When both of our lives are fulfilled with the flaws of our lives, we loosen the invisible thread that connects our fingertips," he said. ”

He said, "As far as I know, this is similar to the meaning of dual cultivation of men and women in Lamaism. Love between a man and a woman is also part of the practice. We learn to love others more than ourselves, and we learn to realize that other people are inseparably with ourselves. ”

HWZ's words have always been deeply imprinted in my heart.

After many years, it has not been washed away by the waves of time.

The next day, HWZ asked Nakamura and me to go and see Hawaii's famous surfing sport.

Because of the slump in business, the beach, which was originally full of people, was empty, and there was hardly a surfer in sight.

We sat together and watched the beautiful big waves crash towards the shore one after another. Nakamura ran over and ventured to stand very close to the sea and take a close-up of the big waves rolling in with his camera.

Judging from the photos he took back, the sea water is turquoise and clear, and every wave is crystal clear, through which you can see the clouds and the brilliant sunshine in the sky. It's so beautiful.

"You two see each other often, but you don't see each other often in Hawaii," HWZ said. When the next big wave comes, I'll take a picture of you. ”

So, when the next big wave came, we stood side by side on the beach and took a picture together.

Then, the three of us asked the bored coconut water stall owner in the neighborhood to help us take a snapshot of Polaroid.

When we parted, HWZ asked me to write something to him on the back of the photo in kanji.

HWZ SAID THAT WHILE HE SPOKE CHINESE WELL, HE RECOGNIZED CHINESE CHARACTERS POORLY.

HWZ has always believed that Chinese characters are very mysterious, and that they often convey some amazing, ancient, subconscious wisdom that is by no means comparable to Western writing.

HWZ said that Chinese characters are very symbolic, like maps and road signs of the gods.

It took me a long time to realize how wise and correct HWZ's views were. Chinese characters indeed embody the deepest wisdom of the Chinese ancestors, and the meaning is endless.

I took a photo of a Polaroid snapshot and asked HWZ what Chinese characters he wanted to write.

HWZ said, "Write those Chinese characters that come to your mind at this moment. ”

So, I wrote on it: "Vritti: wavy motion, reincarnation." It's painful, and only nirvana can stop it. ”

HWZ took it and looked at it, pointed to "Nirvana" and asked, what are these two words and what do they mean.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "It's what you said yesterday at dinner, a kind of state reward that you get after giving unconditional and total love to others without thinking about it, and never forsaking him." ”

I said, "It's time to loosen the thread." ”

I said, "It's also a way to loosen the thread." ”

I said, "It's like the sun comes out, and the darkness of billions of years dissipates for a while." ”

At that time, I was not a Buddhist, but I had a very superficial understanding of Buddhism. I don't know if I'm right to explain it that way.

However, HZW showed a look of fascination. "It must have been a very wonderful realm," he said. ”

"I'm longing," he said. ”
