Chapter 206: The Ninth Discussion in the Rye
At this moment, at this moment, for Duan Chaonuan, she felt that this question, what she was currently about, what was she talking about this and that, was no longer necessary.
The problem with the story, the problem is that how she feels, how she feels, she is so uncomfortable!
It's so uncomfortable, it's so uncomfortable, what's going on?
What's wrong with you?
But Duan Chaonuan's discomfort at this moment did not get Chang Rong's attention.
Chang Rong was still talking to himself.
One day, Shakyamuni Buddha was giving a lecture to all his disciples, and suddenly he called out to Ananda and said, "Take a bucket and go to a small village five miles away, and ask an old woman who is washing clothes by the well for a bucket of water. ”
Ananda nodded, took the empty bucket, and went in the direction indicated by the Lord to ask for water. He wanted to say that such an easy thing must be easy to accomplish the task assigned by the World Venerable. Walking and walking, I came to the village, and there was a gray-haired old woman washing clothes by the well.
Ananda politely bowed to the old woman and said, "Old man, old man, can I ask you for a bucket of water?"
When the old woman looked up at the young man, she was not filled with anger, and said very angrily:
"No, this well can only be used by the people in this village, and no outsiders are allowed!"
Then he drove Ananda away, and let Ananda plead and pleaded unmoved! Ananda had no choice but to go back with an empty bucket. He told the world and the disciples present about all the situations he had encountered. The Lord nodded, motioned for Ananda to sit down, and then he told Sariputta to go.
Sariputta walked and walked and walked to the village; I saw the gray-haired old woman still washing clothes by the well.
Sariputta also said politely to the old woman, "Old man, old man, can I ask you for a bucket of water?"
When the old woman looked up at the young man, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed, as if she had seen a very close relative. She happily said, "Okay! Yes! Come on, I'll help you fetch water......"
After making a bucket of water for Sariputta, he told him to wait. The old woman hurried home to get some fasting and told Sariputta to take it with her.
Sariputta returned with a whole bucket of water and told the Lord and the disciples present all the situations he had encountered......
The World-Honored One nodded and motioned for Sariputta to sit down. Ananda and the disciples present were very puzzled and puzzled, and asked what kind of cause was the cause of the World-Honored One? There is such a big difference between Ananda and Sariputta.
The Lord said:
In the first life before the catastrophe, this old woman was reduced to an animal, a mouse; He died on the side of the road, exposed to the scorching sun....... Ananda was a Jia man who was in a hurry to do business at that time, and when he saw this dead mouse, he felt disgusted in his heart and covered his nose...... Sariputta was a scholar who was about to go to Beijing to take the exam, and when he saw this dead mouse, he felt pity in his heart and covered it with dirt.
After a long time, they now meet, and there is such a different kind of differential treatment. Can you imagine......
A small thought can have such a great retribution for good and evil, let alone directly inflict pain on people!"
Comeuppance?
This is really a little bit interesting, Duan Chaonuan feels that this sentence really has the meaning of that little bit of words.
Stone asked: Should I find someone I love to be my wife? Or should I find someone who loves me to be my wife?
The Buddha smiled: The answer to this question is actually in the bottom of your own heart. The only Chinese network
Over the years, what can make you love to death, can make you feel that life is full, can make you stand up and keep moving forward, is it the person you love? Or the one who loves you?
Stone also smiled: But my friends persuaded me to find a girl who loves me to be my wife?
The Buddha said, "If that's the case, your life will be doomed to nothing!" You are used to constantly improving yourself in the process of chasing love. You no longer chase someone you love, and your pace of self-improvement will stagnate.
"The stone snatched the Buddha's words: What if I catch up with the person I love? Will it be ......
The Buddha said: Because she is the person you love the most, and you regard her life as the greatest happiness in your life, so you will continue to work hard to make her live a happier and happier life. There is no limit to happiness and joy, so there will be no limit to your efforts, and it will never stop.
The stone said, "Isn't it very hard for me to live?"
The Buddha said, "After so many years, do you feel that you have worked hard?"
Stone shook his head and smiled again.
Stone asked: In that case, should we be kind to those who love me?
The Buddha shook his head and said, "Do you need someone you love to be kind to you?"
Stone smiled wryly: I don't think I need to.
The Buddha said, "Tell me your reasons."
Stone said: I have more demanding requirements for love, that is, I don't need to be mixed with sympathy and pity, I ask her to love me from the bottom of my heart, sympathy, mercy, tolerance and forbearance although it is also a kind of love, although it will also bring people a certain sense of happiness, but it is something I hate, if her love for me is mixed with these, then I would rather she ignore me, or directly reject my love, when I still have time to withdraw, because feelings can only sink deeper and deeper, Despair is far more real than hope, because the pain of despair is one? That, and the pain of hope is indefinite.
Buddha smiled: Very good, you have already said the answer!
Stone asks: Why was it that when I used to love a girl, she was the most beautiful in my eyes? And now that I love a girl, I often find girls who are prettier than her?
The Buddha asked: Are you sure that you really love her so much, and that you are the one who loves her the most in this world?
Without hesitation, the stone said: Of course!
The Buddha said, "Congratulations." Your love for her is mature, sensible, genuine, and deep.
Stone Tomohiro was surprised: Oh?
The Buddha continued: She is not the most beautiful in this world, and even when you love her so much, you know this fact very clearly. But you still love her so much, because you love not only her youth and beauty, you must know that Shaohua is fleeting, and her face is easy to age, but your love for her has transcended these superficial things, and it has transcended the years. You love her whole person, mainly her unique heart.
The stone couldn't help but say: Yes, I do love her pure kindness and cherish her childishness.
Buddha smiled: Any test of time is nothing to your love.
Stone asked: Why did the two people lose their previous passions when they were together, and were more of an interdependence?
The Buddha said, "That's because your heart has subtly transformed love into affection......
The stone touched his head: family affection?"
