86_86661 "To kill a robber is to release the good man." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info What a wonderful interpretation! I really admire his wonderful insight! When Ma Cong heard Chen Zhong's interpretation of the Dharma, he was amazed at how this young man of his age in front of him could have such a high insight.

From Ma Cong's point of view, although the young man in front of him is only about twenty years old, he seems to be able to feel in this person's eyes that this young man has extraordinary experience, and he always seems to feel an otherworldly bearing in this person.

Ma Cong had a lot of doubts in his heart, but judging from this person's speech and demeanor, he could always feel a kind of righteousness and kindness between his heroic and wise eyebrows. I want to ask this person about the details, but I don't feel very polite.

Therefore, Ma Cong wanted to communicate with him for a while, listen to this person's brilliant opinions, and broaden his understanding and judgment of the current situation.

Ma Cong said, "In my opinion, the answer to all realities can be found in the Dharma. Is it really like the Buddha said, the Dharma is boundless? ā€

"Mr. Ma, have you forgotten the name of this temple?"

"Of course not, isn't this temple called Yuantong Temple?"

"There are two couplets at the door: [The view is free of mind, where it comes and goes, and the sound is not the phase, the emptiness is the color, and the roundness. The consummation of the ten directions is now a thousand hands and eyes to cross, and the three worlds have great compassion to sail. This world is a round world, it's just that you give up the inherent old thoughts in your heart, let your world be accessible, and don't be too attached to a point that has already become an obstacle. Otherwise, you'll rest on your laurels and never be able to take that new step!

So, the Dharma is boundless, which tells us not to set limits on ourselves, otherwise you will not be able to extricate yourself from the circle that you have drawn. As you said before, you are very inclined to the moderate reforms advocated by Mr. Liang Qichao to save the country, but these reform methods, good policies for reform, must be approved by the corrupt empress dowagers in the Qing court, and then they can only be implemented after discussion in the hands of various bureaucrats who have rotted to the bones.

Putting aside for the time being, if it can be approved, it will be approved, and who knows if it can be implemented? This is just a game of self-talk for those energetic scholars and literati. At the end of the day, the mountain is still the same mountain, and the water is still the same water! It took a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, but it still couldn't change anything.

I simply believe that a person's character determines a person's fate, and the same is true of a ruling group. The defeat of the Qing court was defeated by its character, which was weak externally, strong internally, and admired foreigners, but did not cherish the inheritance of its own people and ancestors, and this servile character could not be changed by any reform strategy.

Therefore, if we want to change the dilapidated status quo of our China, we must be like the Southern Growth Heavenly King among the Four Heavenly Kings, holding a wise sword to cut off the past and bravely meet the future.

It is said that the Dharma is boundless, and this is a true truth. It's just that most people don't want to really apply this truth in this boundless Dharma, and prefer to bury their heads deep in their stomachs like ostriches, not daring to face up to the cruel but beautiful reality. ā€

Ma Cong was almost stunned, such sharp words, although a little angular, but what he said was true, but Ma Cong still faintly felt that he couldn't convince himself, could only use the most extreme means to save the country and save the people?

However, when we consider that these new school of reformers died prematurely under the coercion of the Qing court, as the young man said, all the changes were nothing but a sad and ridiculous farce in the end. The devastated mountains and rivers are still trembling in the wind and rain.

Chen Zhong watched Ma Cong be silent because of this, and he knew that this Ma Cong must be engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. Choosing is a very painful thing, and choosing not to choose is a hundred times more painful than choosing.

So, Chen Zhong wanted to inspire Ma Cong, who was still hesitant and wandering, so he continued: "Sir, look at the four heavenly kings in the main hall, what I just talked about is the southern growth heavenly king, holding the wisdom sword in his hand, it is to cut off the troubles, cut off the past, and live seriously in the world in front of you, don't always be entangled in the old concepts that are like rags.

Look at it again, this king of the Oriental Ruler, he has a pipa in his hand. What is this statue of the King trying to tell us?

In a small way, it means that a person should not be too tight or too relaxed about his or her own world. Just like the strings on this pipa in the hands of the king of the holding country, if it is too tight, it is easy to break, and if it is too loose, it will not be able to play a beautiful melody.

From the perspective of the current situation, that is to say, if you are too stubbornly entangled in the inherent circle, impose a too persistent insistence on yourself, but cannot analyze the current situation rationally, then, this person will always suffer from this, and in the end, the string that was adjusted too tightly was broken, and a pipa that could have played a beautiful melody was ruined, so what else is there to talk about saving the country and saving the people?

Mr. Ma, look at this wide-eyed king of the West, holding a changeable snake in one hand and a brilliant orb in the other. He wants to tell the world that in this world, each of us must have the bottom line and principles of being a human being, which is the meaning of that jewel.

The snake in his hand represents that in this ever-changing world, we must learn to be flexible and change our thinking.

In traditional Chinese medicine, if it is not passed, it will be painful, and if it is not general, it will not be painful. The same is true of people's thoughts, you are suffering because your thinking is blocked, when you learn to think about problems flexibly, and consider problems from a few more angles, you will be able to think well, feel comfortable, and all problems will be solved.

Just as Mr. Ma is suffering now, it is because you have not thought about this issue from a different angle, but have always insisted on your own opinion.

If you think about it from another angle, is it for the individual interests of the Qing court and their royal family, or is it really for the interests of the entire Chinese nation?

From my point of view, the thoughts and actions of those moderates are not really for the interests of the country and the nation, but for the individual interests of their Aixin Jueluo family!

Therefore, the final outcome of the moderate reformists can be imagined. If a person who truly works for the well-being of the country and the nation does not care about this form, but looks at the results of his activities and who has gained benefits.

I don't think what you can figure out is not the question of the means to save the country, but the question of whose interests you are working for!

I thought, speaking of which, can Mr. Ma try to think about this problem from a different angle like the Western Wide-eyed Heavenly King, so that it won't take long for you to figure it out.

That's why the Dharma is boundless! ā€ć€‚
