Chapter 252: Sitting in meditation and incense, the cow in my heart

Ye Qian and I returned home after eating.

Finished washing.

"I haven't sat in meditation for a long time," I said to Ye Qian, "you go to bed after taking a bath, I want to sit on a pillar of incense and meditate!" ”

"Go and sit in the study," Ye Qian said, "don't disturb me!" ”

I lit a stick of incense as I spoke.

In the rising smoke and the faint fragrance that spread, I sat straight on the stool, staring at the gaps in the tiles, straightening my spine and controlling my breathing......

"I'm out," Ye Qian said to me, "It's better to sit all night!" ”

I ignored her.

Ye Qian took a bath.

There was the sound of rushing water outside.

The sound of water coming in through the crack in the door, sometimes loud, sometimes small, loud and quiet, loud and quiet, all noise.

"This woman is so annoying," I muttered as I got up and closed the door, "it takes so much water to take a shower!" ”

Sure enough, the sound of water outside the door couldn't get in.

I began to sit in meditation quietly.

After a while, the sound of slippers outside came in again, sometimes loud and sometimes small, as if it was against me. I endured and endured, and finally walked out of it without patience.

I saw Ye Qian wiping her hair naked.

"Did you know I'm sitting in meditation right now?" I asked Ye Qian expressionlessly.

"Are you still sitting in meditation?" Ye Qian smiled and said, "You're fighting bulls now!" ”

I didn't bother to pay attention to Ye Qian, turned around and closed the door.

I sat in the room distraught.

The more I think about it, the more annoying it becomes.

After a pillar of incense, Ye Qian walked in.

"How does it feel?" Ye Qian asked me with a smile.

"It's just too noisy outside," I complained, "and it's useless for me to close the door!" ”

"Which door are you shut?" Ye Qian asked.

"Of course it's this door!"

"Is the door of your heart closed?"

"Heart?"

"Self-defense is the premise, and peace is the result." Ye Qian said unhurriedly, "Only by keeping one's heart can we achieve peace, which is what Master Jinghui said: trust is Zen, care is Zen, balance is Zen, moderation is Zen." As long as you can be balanced, moderate, caring, trusting, good at handling interpersonal relationships, and try your best to do your own work and responsibilities, then it is a virtue for Zen practitioners. ”

I thought of Ye Qian's words and began to reflect on myself.

"If others interfere, to recognize the mistakes of others, not only will you not get the slightest benefit, but will increase your troubles." Only by letting one's thoughts stop and erase the delusions, the mind will naturally be far away from the hustle and bustle. ”

"Erase the delusions!" I looked at Ye Qian's ice muscle jade skin and muttered to myself.

"If the heart is pure, the land is pure, and if the heart is dirty, the land is dirty," Ye Qian continued, "If you leave the dirty land, where can you find the pure land?" Zen originates from life and is embodied in life. It is not to ask others to submit to my personal peace, but to temper myself in life and make my heart peaceful, which requires learning to open a big mind! ”

"Yes, it is easy," I muttered to myself as I looked at Ye Qian's willow-waisted lotus face, "learn to open a big heart." ”

"I'll tell you a story," Ye Qian sat down and began to tell the story, "There were two children grazing cattle on the mountain, and after they let the cattle go, they went about their own business, and as a result, their cattle were lost. One child asked another child why he lost his cow, and the other said that it was because he was literate. Another child asked the child why he had lost his cow, and the child said that he had gone to the field to steal sweet potatoes. Tell me, which of them is wrong? ”

"Of course the kid who stole the sweet potato was wrong!" I say for sure.

"They are all wrong," Ye Qian said softly, "because everything they have done has lost the cow." This story tells us that when we do things, we should put all our energy and attention into it, and strive to keep the 'cow' in our hearts! ”

"Hold on to the cow in your heart!" I looked at Ye Qian's vermilion lips and muttered to myself.

"Yes, keep the cow in your heart!" Ye Qian smiled and said, "As long as you persevere, you can keep the cow in your heart!" Don't let it be a mad cow and run around; To make it a ploughing cow, cultivate a piece of green. ”

"Hold on to the cow in your heart!" I said as I looked at Ye Qian's convex carcass.

"Just your bare ass dangling in front of me," I chuckled, "can I still hold on to my cow?" That cow has gone crazy for a long time! I said as I picked up Ye Qian and walked towards the bedroom.

"Do you have 10,000 cows in your heart now?" Ye Qian put her arms around my neck and laughed.

"I'm going to be a matador now!" As I spoke, I threw Ye Qian onto the bed with a thud.

"Fall me to death!" Ye Qian was angry and shy and said, "Can you lighten it?" ”
