Chapter 24: The Standard of Good and Evil
"Hello!" A bald monk in loess suddenly stopped me.
I stopped, a little frightened by his sudden stop.
"Hello!" , habitual polite response, and at the same time instinctively feel his aura.
I don't know when I had this instinct.
I was not aware of this man's appearance, as if he had been temporarily transferred to me, and I watched him, or rather, I looked into his eyes.
The eyes are the windows of the human heart, in other words the exposed points of the soul, from which a large part of the body's energy is lost.
Not only the eyes, but also the "eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind", these are the windows for the soul to contact the outside world, and of course, understanding the outside world will inevitably dissipate energy.
He, forty years old, carried a square cloth bag of the same color over his loess robe, and his eyes were dripping with a hint that reminded me of a clever mouse, and there was oil overflowing in it.
The overall anger was fine, but I didn't like him, this monk reminded me of the crowded ticket sellers and high-priced taxi drivers in front of the train station, even more slippery than them, his grease almost splashed on me, and I took a step back.
"Let's make a fate!" His eyes were squeezed, the corners of his mouth were grinning, and his tone was slippery, as he reached out and pulled out a string of white bracelets from his cloth bag.
As soon as I reacted, I saw that he was going to sell something to me, and I was scared, if this thing was stuffed in my hand, it would be difficult to explain.
"I don't have any money, I'm a poor student!" , I walked up.
"Do good deeds and accumulate virtue, Bodhisattva blesses" He caught up, looking like a sticky person who was going to fight a protracted battle.
I remained silent and continued walking in the direction of the school.
"Bodhisattva bless! I'll give you a bracelet ......", he's still insisting.
I keep walking, silence is the best way to deal with clingy.
Sure enough, he followed four or five more steps, as if he had found a new target, and turned sideways, his graceful figure had turned in the other direction, and it was really as slippery as a loach.
I looked at his sales figure and wondered.
"It is said that meeting is fate, should I donate some money to him?"
"That's not right! You shouldn't give him money, there is a saying that "the mud bodhisattva crosses the river, and it is difficult to protect himself," I am so poor, and then I go to donate to him, isn't that death? ”
"But give him a few dollars to show that he won't die of poverty!"
"But this kind of person who cheats money a bit in the name of Buddha and Huayuan, their original intention is not to make money at all, but just to make money, I don't want to make money for him, is there anything wrong with this?"
"Nothing else, anyway, according to my first instinct, I hate this almost bondage behavior, and my first instinct is to ignore it, he does not arouse my sympathy or compassion at all, on the contrary, he is taking advantage of the psychological ...... of our ordinary people's "seeking favor".
- I did a lot of ideological struggle, and I persuaded myself very unsmoothly. In fact, there are still things I don't understand, just
- Why do I hate this behavior?
I'd like to get a clearer answer, but it seems to be still in the clouds.
Maybe it's just that the time is not right, I found a saying, yes! The time is not right.
The distance from Dr. Wan Qian's residence to the school was not too close, and thinking about walking seemed to shorten the distance.
When I walked to the classroom, my classmates were already full, and I was dizzy when I looked at my face, arms and hands, and now I didn't seem to be suitable for a crowded place, the aura here was too chaotic!
I'm still thinking about that monk, "Luo Luo, you're back!" Sit here! Cao Fang beckoned to me in the middle of the fourth row.
I nodded my head and walked briskly over.
Once she sat down, she began to ask questions. "Luo Luo, how do you feel when you go home, it's very cool! Let's have fun! Her expression looked more smug than mine, as if she was going home.
"It's okay, it's just a different place to eat, sleep and sleep!".
"I guess so! Your mother disliked and drove you back to school! ”。
"Sort of, Mom was always happy on the first day we went back, and then there was endless disgust", I followed her words, can I tell her what really happened when I got home? Of course not!
"Hi, I found a problem!" She suddenly leaned into my ear and whispered.
"What's the problem?".
"I feel that your words and actions are not the same as before, you always seem to be preoccupied now, and sometimes I think you are a man."
"Men? Are you kidding! I'm a man with breasts, an authentic woman! ”。
"Poofha, don't worry, the old driver drives at every turn...... It's just a feeling ......". She had already opened her phone as she spoke, and the anime characters in it were dangling.
She put her phone on the table, set it on mute, and quickly fell into her mind as if watching a silent movie, and then took out the melon seeds in her hand from where and now, and moved the melon seeds in her hand to mine without taking her eyes off the screen.
After that, I watched while snorting, a girl who knows how to enjoy life!
"Doctor Wan Qian, I have a question for you!" I opened the door and shouted loudly into the house as I changed my slippers.
"What's the matter, what's the matter, the good mood of the big night is saved for dinner, what is yelling!" , a fierce voice came from Wan Qian's house.
"I have a question I don't understand, come - please ask you!" , I said with a smile. This should be the real female bandit Wan Qian, her glorious image is really not to be left behind, and a brain image is engraved in my mind.
"Excuse me?! Just ask! You'll cook later! ”。
"Okay, as long as you can eat, I'll dare to do it! Wan Qian, let's get down to business! ”。
"Why did you come to me and not even call a doctor?" She glanced at me.
"Because I feel that you are more youthful, energetic, and younger! What a serious title for a doctor! Not for you! I quipped.
"Makes sense! These provincial labels are all saved, the best! "Whatever you want to ask, say it! ”。
"I met a monk today, holding a bracelet and saying give it to me, let me give him some money, he said what to accumulate virtue and do good, Bodhisattva blessing and the like, I didn't give him money, I feel that he is a peddler, but Buddhism talks about fate, I met him, isn't it fate?
I wondered why I couldn't give him a few dollars, and I couldn't starve to death, but another very strong self said - no
And then I didn't give it, but one question was always in my mind - why did I instinctively hate this behavior? I spoke all the words in my heart in one breath, and I felt much more comfortable.
"Why? Because that's a fake monk! It's a liar! ”。
"Liar, why can't you give him money?".
"If you give him money, it is equivalent to aiding and abetting him to cheat!"
"Isn't that also his means of survival? to live".
"For the sake of life, this kind of fraud-like behavior is taking advantage of people's kindness, and it is to be punished."
"Retribution? So serious! ”。
"What do you think! He relies on obtaining people's so-called kindness to make profits, which is not a down-to-earth way to do things, but ah! Those who can be fooled should also be fooled, ignorant and hope that they can obtain some blessings and longevity by buying things, these people who pay money when they hear these words also don't understand what Buddhism is! ”。
"Don't understand the Dharma?" , I wondered.
"Happiness and longevity are just the appearance of the mind, and Buddhism emphasizes the elimination of greed and hatred, donating money or buying the chain in the hands of the fake monk in order to obtain something beneficial, not greedy!"
"Is it greed?".
"Of course!".
"What if he insists on you in your hands?"
"Yikes! I accidentally dropped it! It's none of my business! It's you who insist on stuffing it into my hand, so it can be seen that there is no fate with this bead at all! ", she said lightly.
"Something seems wrong...... Didn't figure it out......". I groaned.
"Don't you understand what true goodness is?" She looked at me.
"I don't really understand.".
"The good and evil that is now preached by society! It's all nonsense, but it's all pitiful! ”。
"Poor man?" , I was touched in my heart.
"Isn't it? Born with all kinds of last resort, who doesn't want to sit back and relax, or be a good person in everyone's eyes! But that's what happened to them! That's what they became!
It's just that those who are called "evil" are dangerous to others, and to resist them for the sake of some kind of superficial security will only exacerbate social contradictions, but will not solve the problem fundamentally, and even lead to bigger problems.
This is all because it buries people's painful hearts, so that they have nowhere to release, and there is no way to be rescued, so it is easy to have "heart killing", that is, to let yourself be led by anger or murderous energy, to carry out revenge, this revenge cannot pass through blood, it will create internal injuries, so that people's hearts are destroyed.
You punch me, you punch me back, and the whole world fights! Is this good? Hiding the truth is also an evil! ”。
"What then? Let someone who wants to kill go and kill with a knife? ”。
"You girl, you don't understand what I mean. I mean...... Hi! I don't want to tell you that much! It's tiring! ”。
"Say it! Physician! I need you! I looked at her pitifully and pulled her clothes around.
"Okay, okay! Don't do it! Then I'll keep telling you. In fact, there is no real good or evil, just like if you don't give money to that fake monk, are you good? Or is it evil? Who's going to judge this? The fake monk comes to judge, and the fake monk will definitely spit on you behind your back, complaining that you don't give him money, but what about you to judge yourself? You're a poor man, and you don't want to give him money at all, you hate him, but he pesters you, and you think he's not a good guy, and that's trouble, so good and evil are at ease!
Of course, I don't know how to get rid of this kidnapping, but I firmly believe that there is no good or evil, so I don't like it. It's a virtue to be honest with yourself!
You should read the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu has already told us these things, this world! We've all been kidnapped by all sorts of messy ideas! We all live in our own webs! ”。
"I may understand, but I haven't understood ...... yet," I rubbed the tip of my nose.
"If you understand it all at once, it's weird!"
"What a weird thing, maybe I have such an understanding!".
"Comprehension is to have, but it is also necessary to turn according to chance, with chance, not to say that everything will be understood in an instant, but to understand slowly as you walk."
"Hmmm! Good! ”。
"Alright, I'm going to eat the potato cubes, you go stew! It feels like meat without meat! ”。
"Aren't you guilty of lust?"
"I said Luo Luo, you've read too many Buddhist scriptures recently!"
"I've been reading Buddhist scriptures lately, and I haven't read much, and I should have learned about these things in a scattered way, and I seem to have a deep impression of them, and I always connect with a certain sentence in the Dharma anytime and anywhere, and then I keep thinking about it."
"Wise!".
"Wisdom! I? I opened my mouth in surprise, but I couldn't help but grin proudly. I can't help but be praised by others, hahahaha.
"It's good that you are so diligent and inquisitive, good at thinking and reflecting! Don't talk about this! Hungry! Hungry! Potato wedges! Potato wedges! ”。
She yelled like a child, and I had to put on my apron and get ready to go to the kitchen.
My cooking is always cooked, and I personally feel that it is still delicious.
