Monasticism and Spiritual Practice (M)

There is nothing in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves. Mortals are so ignorant, it is said that there are very few illiterates, people in the past were ignorant because they were illiterate, and now people are ignorant because they have seen too much, oh, they are brainwashed. In fact, it is consistent, and the superior likes foolish people. When people are smart, they demand equality, fight local tyrants and divide the land, human society has never supported the equality of all beings, what to do, pearl, pearl is not equal, one person, one vote, spiritual equality. Oh, who can people look up to? People only look at themselves and those with whom they can empathize.

Man is the only one who has compassion among animals, which is why man is human, and a person without compassion cannot be human. The so-called sympathy is empathy, that is, empathy. In many depictions, the first time a person kills someone, there is unbearable pain, because of the kind of things that hurt them. This is an instinctive human reaction, and if there is no such reaction, unless there is no evolution to know God. A cold-blooded killer has no target for his kind.

People's compassion is from the inside out, from near to far. The death of one person in a car accident in this region is far more shocking than the death of hundreds of thousands of people in a foreign war. A small bag on my face is far more alarming than someone else's cancer. People trample dozens of ants to death with one foot, as if nothing happened, after all, people and ants are too far apart, but if you drive a dog to death, it will be very uncomfortable, are they all mammals? Confucianism says that a gentleman cooks far away, and a gentleman smells his life and can't bear to eat his meat, which is really not hypocrisy. A hypocrite is actually a gentleman, a gentleman has nothing to show for himself, while a gentleman pays attention to his heart.

Here to talk about Western gentlemen, many are just like goods, some Chinese empathy and mistakes, thinking that universal values, cited as the same, in fact, is the distance to produce beauty, closer look, it turned out to be different, and in the eyes of others, I am afraid it is quite far away. Of course, there are sluts, and if they confuse their own identity, they can be called vain, that is, they are vain, because they don't even understand the distance of empathy. But not necessarily, there is a reverse empathy in love, that is, hate!

Hatred, the other strongest motivation of people, is alongside love, just as the positive and negative levels of magnetism, because of love there is more hate, because of hate there is less love. Hate a person, I wish he would die immediately, it can be seen how deeply hurt, there is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason, hate this emotion itself, will it bring about a bad state?

Love must be transformed into action, hate cannot be transformed, and once hatred is transformed, it is often destructive. The result of repressed hatred usually leads to depression and anxiety, which is the essence of the problem. Love actually has the same problem.

LOSERS AMONG MORTALS OFTEN ACCUMULATE INEXPLICABLE HATRED IN THEIR HEARTS, AND ONCE THE TARGET IS LOCKED, THEY WILL EXPLODE. Therefore, in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is said: the lower can be arrogant, and the superior cannot be arrogant. And the weak venting their hatred for no reason is dying. Only by turning hatred into upward motivation can we be strong.

To cultivate the Tao, you must first practice.

Inaction must come from doing, and a stone is inaction, but it cannot produce consciousness. If you don't do anything, you can't do anything. Only by doing can we do nothing.

Becoming a monk since childhood, is it easier to achieve positive results? Man's consciousness must be trained in order to grow. The more social practice, the more we can understand the way of heaven.

Practicing meditation is also promising, and it is no closer to fighting than fighting in Vanity Fair. Don't think that if you live in seclusion, eat fasting and recite Buddha, you will definitely have a higher realm.

When meditating, sometimes it is not as good as a cigarette to refresh your mind, and how to choose between them, take great pains to consider. So what is the meaning of meditation will be explained in the following chapter, [Meditation and Sleep].

Ask yourself, from morning to night, can people do anything without utilitarianism? This utilitarian mind refers specifically to the utilitarian mind that is selfish and selfish. If the merit lies in the country and the benefit lies in the contemporary, it is selfless and fearless.

Non-utilitarianism is not the absence of desires, is there a greater desire than seeking the Tao?

Children are born with inaction, children's words are unscrupulous, but the consciousness is not yet sound, when the rebellious period comes, the wit will follow, and gradually enter the world of adult lies.

With the growth of people, the utilitarian heart continues to grow, the self continues to expand, people from the birth of consciousness, can not do nothing, the self must be promising, unless, with a big self, replace the small self, or even no self.

How to do nothing, the way of heaven is the best example, the law of heaven and earth is never intentionally promoted, wind, frost, rain and snow, the rotation of the sun and the moon, naturally.

If a good young man reads this article and becomes decadent, it is a great sin. Let me emphasize: Cultivation that can promote work and study is good cultivation, and it is even better to cultivate with work and study as cultivation.

Therefore, it is right for monks to ask for money and fortune-telling.

Wuwei embodies the stillness of the soul. The path of quick success and quick profit is the opposite of the opposite.

The Tao involves the original part of the world, and due to the limitations of the six senses, people can usually only come into contact with the appearance of things. A simple example: Do you know how big the earth is? I'm afraid no one will say they don't know. So do you really know? Our concept of the earth is limited to a literal description, and at most it is impossible to perceive the true volume of the earth when viewed from an airplane, because there are no analogues in life.

Living in the red dust, the sound of dogs and horses, traveling around the world, can only be contacted, appearances, Lao Tzu said: The sage knows the world without going out, does he also rely on the Internet?

I have seen enough of the appearance of the world, and now I just want to explore the essence of the world.

The distinction between man-made and God's creations is visible at a glance. The secular aesthetic tends to be smooth and shiny, neat and regular, which is too far from the taste of nature. Everything that is synthesized by humans becomes garbage that cannot be recycled in nature after it loses its usability. Hopefully, humanity can rush out of the earth before it gets flooded with garbage.

A great aesthetic regression of the Chinese was in modern times, when a primitive tribe met by chance and entered China. The culture of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism was almost completely inherited by the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately, aesthetics need to be accumulated and inherited. China's ability to assimilate is reflected in the advanced nature of civilization, however, in the modern contest between the East and the West, China is backward in all aspects, and the culture and art that has never been lost in history have also been completely Westernized. The backwardness of science is even more dire, and the problem of Joseph Needham in China, how many people have been stumped, I will solve two sentences: backwardness began with the deposition of the hundred schools of thought by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Confucianism was respected alone.

People in the world always misunderstand that Chinese have no faith, don't they just don't believe in gods, and can they endure hardships without faith?

Confucianism ruled China for 2,000 years, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, almost carved into the soul of the Chinese. Coupled with the help of Buddhism and Taoism on both sides, the feudal system is ironclad and unshakable.

Everyone is well aware of the repression of science and technology by religion. The West is also coming out of the dark Middle Ages, and technology has a place.

And the oriental civilization is endless, but it has not lit up the technology tree for a long time. Top talents all go to study Baguwen, or immerse themselves in gossip for a lifetime, and the upper-class people are about to become immortals, and once they collide with Western scientific and technological civilization, they will be immediately crushed into slag.

The surrounding North Korean and Vietnamese cultural circles are no different. Japan is unique in that it is the first to light up the science and technology tree because of the harsh environment and the fact that it pays more attention to practical craftsman skills, and has the least cultural burden.

The consequences of clicking on the wrong technology tree are unbearable, as Japan has become a global leader in the economy, and as a result, it is almost completely incomplete in technology in the new century. New energy vehicles have engaged in hydrogen batteries, communication has engaged in PHS, television has engaged in plasma, and the Internet has engaged in game consoles...... The most difficult thing to turn over is nuclear technology, which will never be lit up.

China's ability to climb out of the quagmire is a break with traditional beliefs. If there is no complete revolution, China will be another India at best, and it is better to do it well.

In the past, they were too poor and backward, and no matter how good an individual was, they would inevitably be burdened with a sense of national inferiority, and the intellectuals of the past must have been deeply touched, negated the tradition, dug deep into the inferior roots of culture, and finally formed a new belief that the foreign is used for China. This generation is worthy of being the trendsetter of the times, and the road is blue, and the dragon has taken off.
