The work of the magazine is complicated and hard, and I often bury my head in writing on my desk every day, and after working for several hours, I look up before I know it, and it is already dark outside. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is a French bakery downstairs from the magazine, and the smell of wheat fills the whole day, and when you pass by, you can't help but have an appetite.

The chef of this bakery is said to have been making bread for generations, and his ancestors worked in a famous bakery in Shanghai in his early years, and also worked as a white case and pastry chef for international hotels such as the Peace Hotel. His bread is authentically Parisian, especially known for its loaf bread.

According to colleagues, the bread is crispy and soft, and when you bite it, you can feel a slight resistance to your teeth, and the slightly buttery salty wheat flavor is emanating from this small tear, filling the taste buds of the entire mouth, giving people a warm saturation and a strong melting sensation. Without any jam or soup to accompany your meal, or seasonings such as raisins and cream puff pastry, you can eat several pieces of bread without realizing it.

In order to save time and concentrate on writing, I often go to the bakery downstairs to buy baguette bread instead of Chinese food or dinner. In the gap between review or proofreading, I take this long bread, tear a little and chew a little, sometimes go to the corridor to make a cup of hot milk or hot coffee with drinking, after a while, a long strip is gone, and it can be full, and it is very trouble-free, and even the time for washing and washing the dishes is saved.

Actually, I've always loved loaf of loaves.

Because in the later days of your illness, you like to eat loaf bread.

Many of my hobbies come from things related to you, just as the brightness of the moon comes from the brilliance of the sun.

When it comes to food, you don't have much choice and preference, and you often follow what you eat in the cafeteria. Just because you are a northerner, you like pasta and potato crops slightly more than rice, and when you cook by yourself, you either make noodles and noodles or something, or bake a potato crop to satisfy your hunger.

You like simple meals and don't spend too much time on them.

When you get sick, your appetite becomes worse and worse, and the types of food you can eat become less and less. White porridge, poorly boiled broken noodles, and long stick bread torn into small slices of kimchi soup are the most acceptable foods in the later stages of your illness.

I often help you tear the loaf into thin pieces and cook it in a vegetable broth for a little while. In this way, following you, I slowly fell in love with this food.

Once, you asked me what you saw in the bread.

I thought about it and said, "I saw the wheat, the farmer, and the baker." ”

You say, "More than that." ”

I said, "What else is there?" ”

Say, "Put your heart really on the bread and look closely." You can perceive the sun, clouds, rain, soil, insects and forests contained in the bread. ”

Say, "There is not a single loaf of bread in the world that does not contain these things." Each slice of bread contains the nourishment of all things in the entire universe. ”

You say, "You can also see the ancestors of the bakers." Every baker is not born with delicious bread. It's a technique that has been passed down for many generations. Every slice of bread, every baking, contains the deep love of our ancestors for their descendants. Our ancestors passed on their love to us through these unsurprisingly mundane everyday things. ”

You say, "Every slice of bread contains thousands of years of history. ”

"In the same way, when you're eating a carrot, you have to see the people who are behind it, the people who raise the cultivators, the various plants, plants, and microorganisms that feed the soil nutrients."

You say, "If you can always observe this truthfully, you will always feel that you are bathed in the grace and love of all things, and you will feel a deep sense of gratitude." ”

You say, "Without the support of all things, we will not survive for a second." It is those seemingly ordinary things that contain the deepest happiness. ”

You say, "Actually, it's not just the bread, it's the painkillers I have to eat every day." ”

"When we swallow a painkiller, we need to know in our hearts that it didn't fall out of thin air, it's the result of generations of research, the result of countless animals sacrificing themselves to participate in experiments," you say. My pain was relieved because of the dedication and dedication of countless lives, and it was because of the deep and shared blessings of countless lives that I could get this moment of comfort. ”

You say, "Every time I have a bad appetite and don't want to eat, I say to myself, this piece of bread is so much love and dedication of life, how can I live up to it and waste it." In this way, I can muster up the courage to eat it, let it become the warmth of my life, and then give back to the people around me. ”

You say, "Every time I feel unbearable pain, I say to myself that the reason why I feel unbearable pain now is because I haven't been in such intense pain for most of my life. And that comfort is also the result of the unsparing efforts of many lives. The pain is just a reminder to know how to be grateful for the many lives I have. We should cherish the painless moments that seem to be uneventful, but are actually full of happiness. Make good use of these moments to repay all the lives that have sustained me. ”

I look at you with love and admiration in my eyes.

You say, "What do you watch me do?" ”

I said, "Guidance." Even if it's just a quick meal with you, you can learn a lot. ”

You say, "Anything can be learning." You can learn from any situation. ”

Gazing at your photographs from the past, I am often reminded of this part of your teachings on bread.

You are my beloved teacher and have taught me many truths. And in your photos, there are also teachers who have taught you.

If you didn't have the teachings of those teachers, you wouldn't be the person you came to be, and you wouldn't be the person I love and admire.

And the teachers who have taught you also have their own teachers.

Without all of them, there would be no you I know.

You in the photo are all they are.

Their wisdom and love are evident in your words and deeds.

When I gaze at you, I am connected to all spiritual teachers.

In this way, I will no longer feel that those spiritual teachers are historical figures in an ancient and untouchable time and space, and I will feel more intimate with them, and I will realize that they have become part of my life through you. They, like you, are all within me, all in my heart.

I bow down on the ground before your tombstone.

When I came into contact with the earth, I saw the river of life in my blood and the river of life in my spirit.

This soil contains not only the energy of forests, rain, sun, air, and plant seeds, but also all the ancestors who worked hard to cultivate, protect, and establish the land. Emperor Yan, Emperor Huang, Lao Tzu, Confucius, Mencius, and countless other sages who came before us jointly established the civilization that nourished our spirit, and invented all kinds of institutions, rituals, techniques, customs, and tools that enabled us to live a civilized life.

At the moment when I bowed down to the earth, the energy of the whole land and the whole history surged in my blood.

It was you, your teachings and enlightenment, that opened my eyes and allowed me to see all this.

No matter where we are or what situation we are in, we are always closely connected with the air, mountains, rivers, fruits, vegetables, grains, history, culture, and people of this land, and we have always been nourished and supported by all.

We have the backing of two bloodlines. Therefore, we should not lack the strength to face all the trials and pains in life.

We are not alone.

We are alone, that's an illusion.

Even when we have been sick for a long time, we have never really been alone.

We need to have discernment to see ourselves in the oneness of all things.

This is an important source of our inner strength.

It's like a pine cone that contains all the forests of the past, present, and future.

A loaf of bread also contains all the worlds and all things in the past, the present and the future.

One is everything, everything can be fully manifested in any tiny detail.

It has always been manifested.

We can't see it, just because we don't open our eyes.

We have yet to meet that rainbow-like person who inspires and guides us, helps us, and opens our eyes.

Every morning, many of us get up and eat bread for breakfast.

But in fact, not many people actually eat this bread.

Most people are chewing on yesterday's troubles, today's stress, the myriad changes in the world, the ubiquitous TV commercials and the news in the circle of friends on mobile phones.

Chewing on these is actually harmful to your physical and mental health.

Just chew the bread.
