86_86661He Dong smiled, looking at the young Hainan prince in front of him, and seemed to have a feeling of being familiar at first sight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He was thinking, the age difference between this king of Hainan and himself is almost thirty years old, why doesn't he have a sense of distance from the times?
This may be what the philosophers said, because their views on the world are relatively similar, and their perceptions of life resonate.
"Lord Wang, I think you must have the same feeling, right?" He Dong asked Chen Zhongdao rhetorically.
"We feel the same way?"
"Yes, the prince is magnificent, elegant in conversation, I believe that only a heart with the world in mind can have the temperament of the prince."
"Mr. He, we are talking about business, why are you talking about me again?
However, this king believes that what Mr. He said is very reasonable. That is, no matter who you are, no matter where you are now, it must be the person's mind and mentality that determine the final outcome of a person.
What kind of mind you have, what kind of courage you have.
No matter whether your world is bright or bleak at the moment, whether you are rich or poor at the moment, as long as you have a mind that can afford to let go, the final result you get must be the result of satisfying yourself and respecting others.
In addition, it is the mentality of a person when dealing with the world he faces, whether he is greedy or casual, crazy or calm.
When a person is greedy in dealing with the world he faces, then the result he gets must be disappointment and pain; If he is insane, then the result he gets must be disaster and destruction.
However, if a person is casual in the face of the world outside him, then the result he obtains must be joy and satisfaction; If the person is at ease with the world outside of him, then the result must be dignified and respectable. ā
The more Ho Dong listened, the more interested he became, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became, so much so that they snubbed Montenillo, the governor of Macau.
Montinilo saw that He Dong and Chen Zhong were talking very happily, and he said with a blank face: "Your Excellency the King of Hainan, what are you talking about with Mr. He?" Why am I so confused? ā
He Dong smiled and said, "My Lord Governor, we are talking about Chinese culture. ā
"Talking about Chinese culture? Are you a Dutchman who still talks about Chinese culture? No kidding, I've been studying Chinese culture for years, and I haven't figured out the details. Montinillo said with a smile.
"I'm Chinese, Lord Governor. Don't forget, my mother is a real Chinese, my nationality is also Chinese, here today, among the three of us, only you are a real foreigner. He Dong touched his face proudly.
"That's right, that's right!" Montinilo muttered, and then continued, "Mr. He, you haven't finished what you just said, and you haven't finished the second article of your wealth cheat. You go on and talk about why people who tried to win in a casino end up losing everything. And the person with the mentality of the game became the final winner? ā
"My Governor-General, you missed a word." Chen Zhong smiled and said to Montinillo, "What Mr. He said is that the final winner is a person who has the mentality of playing games, but he is a serious player. The last three words 'play seriously' are particularly important, if you lose him, you will misinterpret Mr. He's meaning, isn't it, Mr. He? ā
He Dong laughed, and then said: "Look, Lord Governor, I said that we are Chinese, you are foreigners, right." What the prince said is very right, to do things is to have a relaxed attitude of the game, but to play seriously, you can't do things irresponsibly, which is diametrically opposed to what I said. ā
"Mr. He, why don't I understand, can you explain further? Let me, a foreigner, learn the real Chinese culture. Montinilo said solemnly.
He Dong laughed and said, "Lord Wang, it's better for you to explain it to this respected governor." ā
"Okay, then I'll tell you what I understand." Chen Zhong sat up straight and continued, "Your Excellency, do you know that there is a quintessential idea in Buddhism called 'casual fate'? ā
"I know, of course I know, didn't the Buddha say, let go, be at ease, and follow fate." Montinilus said triumphantly.
"But, Governor, have you thought carefully about what the Buddha really meant by casualness?"
"This, I really haven't studied it, Your Excellency the King of Hainan, please tell me."
"I come to understand that we do our best to do things, but don't be too nervous about the result, as long as you do what you want to do calmly, seriously and hard, as for the result, whether it is good or bad, it doesn't matter, just follow the fate.
However, casual fate definitely does not mean that you do things casually and irresponsibly, but that you must do your best in the process of doing things, and the result will be left to God. ā
Montinillo's eyes widened as if he had come to a realization, and said, "Oh God! It turns out that there are so many essences in these two words! This Buddhist culture is too broad. ā
Chen Zhong continued: "Although Buddhism did not originate in China, it was promoted and developed in China, and a large number of Chinese cultural ideas were incorporated into it, so that it can have the prosperity it has today. Therefore, Chinese culture cannot be explained and summarized in a moment.
In short, what Mr. He just said about not being greedy is a manifestation of a big heart. There is no ecstasy to gain, there is no sorrow to lose, only the calm and calm of the clouds and the breeze, so that you can truly control everything about you, which is your life, your world, and all you have.
Because, only when a person is in control of his emotions can he control the world he wants to pursue. ā
"The explanation was wonderful! That's great! Your Excellency King of Hainan, He Mou is really worth the trip today! He Dong said excitedly: "Originally, Lord Montinilo asked me to meet you, but I was a little reluctant at first, because your king of Hainan is very tyrannical in the legend." ā
"Hahaha, Mr. He, are the rumors you heard all saying that this king is a murderous tyrant? Is it a warlord who is not easy to deal with? Chen Zhong laughed.
"That's the case, Lord Wang, He is very ashamed, he actually believed the rumors of those rivers and lakes, what a shame!"
"It's normal, this king is a soldier, the ancients said, mercy is not in charge of soldiers. If the head of an army is too merciful, then it is cruelty to your own soldiers. Because, an army has to fight, and there must be sacrifices to fight, if you are not strict with your own soldiers in peacetime, then, once you are on the battlefield, you will be their executioner! ā
He Dong and Montinilo nodded, at this moment, they really saw a more plump and kingly king of Hainan.
