Nanqizhou "dots" - Buddha statues are lifeless, Taoism and nature (2

Obviously, the two young people seem out of place in each other's world, but their hearts are the same, they are both pursuing the faith in their hearts, the "non-action" of the Taoist youth is a kind of non-impatient and going with the flow, while the non-salvation of the Buddhist youth is a different kind of salvation that seems to be in the world, they may both seem too pedantic, or they may not be at fault, but the environment and position in which they appear are too incongruous.

After a long time, the Taoist youth did not succeed in solving people's doubts once, and the Buddhist youth watched hundreds of people die, and they all began to shake their faith, the Buddhist youth was the most painful, and his compassion was always there. The Buddha is not able to see people suffering, every time the Buddhist youth gives up saving a person, there will be more pain in the heart, when the sorrow in the heart accumulates too much, he has to sit cross-legged and recite the Buddhist scriptures several times to purify the heart, his troubles go quickly, and will not leave any traces, and it will be empty.

But over time, the Buddhist youth found that always giving up help is not a long-term solution at all, he can see desperate people everywhere he goes, and he also sees many people who are hesitating between life and death, they want to be free, but they don't know anything about the world after death, because they are confused and worried, because they are afraid of worry, so they are always forcing themselves to commit suicide, but they don't have the courage to take that step, so they have to continue to bear the suffering of the world.

The Buddhist youth couldn't bear to see people so pitiful, he made a decision, no longer ignoring, but guiding the suffering people in the world to salvation and liberation, he first found a thin poor man, exhausted his eloquence and Buddhism, and finally explained to him the reincarnation of life in Buddhism, it turns out that death is just a prelude to a new life, suffering in this life, and the next life will be blessed. The poor man has lived in misery all his life, and where he looks forward to happiness and only wants to live a stable life, he has no idea of living for a long time, but he does not have the courage to support him for liberation.

The words of the Buddhist youth completely moved the poor man, and he became the first believer of the Buddhist teachings of the Buddhist youth in this world. He also became the first propagator of Buddhism, and the poor people went to the villages, cities and counties, gathering together those who were suffering and longing for hope and liberation, and told them about the existence of the Buddha, and the Buddha's teachings, like a life-saving straw, these desperate people found a backbone, even if it was just an illusory statement, but still activated a Buddha statue in people's hearts, they began to believe in the Buddha, and piled up the Buddha temple with mud and stones, and put the little food saved from their mouths in the temple, and bowed down every day.

The hunger in their stomachs suddenly weakened, and the pain in their bodies was no longer so obvious, even if they had not received anything in return, but still seemed to have received a favor or a promise, and the meaningless "hope" took root in their hearts, and many of them meditated in front of the temple, reciting Buddhist scriptures in their hearts, until they starved to death. The corners of their mouths were raised when they died, probably because the Buddha himself lowered his palms and held their souls to heaven, these ungraspable and invisible illusory things successfully eliminated their hatred and grievances for many years, and in their eyes, this is not death, but salvation and rebirth.

The more difficult it is, the more you have to worship and seek the Buddha, and when the road is at the end, you will lose your life and return to the Buddha's side, and this idea is spreading rapidly in the Taoist world. And the war has not stopped, the suffering continues, more and more poor people "bravely" throw themselves into the arms of the Buddha, perhaps their already lowly life, at the moment of death because of the sacredness of faith finally became meaningful, most of them left the world with hope and satisfaction, and this alone is happiness.

The Buddhist youth sat in the world of Taoism, he nodded with satisfaction, Buddhism has allowed more people to be redeemed, death does not mean the end, it will make people have a happy life in the next life. Gradually, the people of the Dao Dharma world were almost dead.

And the Taoist youth in the world of Buddha statues, it seems that there are many vicissitudes, he can't find a person who can be willing to sink down and listen to his reasoning, the most puzzling thing for him, the happier people themselves live, the more demanding they have, their hearts are not satisfied at all, just like a bottomless pit, no money and desire to be rich, rich and eager to have a wife, and then want a golden boy and a girl, and then want three wives and four concubines, high-ranking officials, they obviously live a life that others can't get for a lifetime, but they are still looking at the scenery higher, it's really sad, Therefore, the "non-action" principle of Taoist youth cannot meet anyone's needs.

This is a restless world, everyone is in a hurry to do things, life, even the time to eat has to be calculated with an hourglass, the people on the street walk looking at the ground, their upper body remains natural, but their feet and legs are running desperately, grabbing a bowl of the first wontons, renting the fastest horse-drawn carriage, their road is never ending, and the scenery along the road has never touched anyone.

The Taoist youth walked for a long time, and waited for a long time, and finally, he found someone who could feel at ease and was willing to listen to his preaching, that was a group of eighty or ninety years old, half-legged into the loess old people, they were tired and hard work all their lives, and they had long lost the energy to run again, at this time, their hearts suddenly appeared regretful, in the past few decades, what have they gained? A position? Lost as early as the age of fifty, a house? But in the huge garden, he only needs a bed that can fit himself. Three wives and four concubines? Walking and dying, they even forgot the faces and voices of their wives and concubines, and even their memories were intermittent and very vague. So, what exactly are they left with?

The old men didn't have anything to gain and say, they regretted it, they regretted that they shouldn't have run so fast, they didn't even savor the scenery on the side of the road, and they studied knowledge for several years, just for an exam. After decades of being officials, saying decades of nonsense, just learning the rules of officialdom, they don't have the so-called happy and beautiful memories, but their lives have come to an end.

The old men were in agony, they were so remorseful that they couldn't sleep, and they longed for a chance to do it all over again.

Taoist youth told them about "non-action" and "nature", in fact, time only exists "being" and "nothing" two concepts, when it is not over, there are infinite possibilities, Taoist youth encourage the old people to live the next life naturally, is not now also running slowly? Isn't there still one beautiful scenery of one kind or another on the side of the road? When they sigh, it is better to savor the current life.
