Chapter 92: Making Your Students Happy is Good Karma (Part I)
I still remember that when I didn't go to college, Zhan Zhizhan was full of yearning for college. It is said that the university is a beautiful ivory tower, where the scenery is picturesque, like a fairyland. Zhan Zhizhan imagined that he could not go to bed late, not need to get up early, walk on the path of birds and flowers, and bathe in the colorful auspicious light of the ivory tower. Wow, what a poetic feeling. In order to realize his dream, Zhan Zhizhan sharpened his sword in the cold window for ten years, and whenever the morning star first began to twinkle in the sky and the sun had not yet awakened, he was already sitting on the cold bench and began to shake his head and recite those English words that he never got tired of reading. When the sun was baking the earth in the sky and everyone was taking a nap, Zhan Zhizhan was still dizzy and doing those test papers that seemed to be constantly thickening. When the stars were shining all over the sky, the bright moon was hanging high, and there was silence all around, Zhan Zhizhan had to sleep in the grass hut with his panda eyes open and perform words behind closed doors, only to lie down and make the flute sound. Those exercises and test papers are simply the sworn enemies of Zhan Zhizhan and their fresh high school graduates!
When Zhan Zhizhan was fortunate enough to squeeze through the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination and enter the threshold of the university, he found that the university campus was more of a melting pot than a holy land. The university campus is integrated into the world and society, and students from all over the world bring different cultures from their hometowns to the world, which has become a unique campus culture. The university campus is integrated with the innocence of high school years, and it also encompasses all kinds of things in the world. Whether it is a common trivial matter in the society, or an interesting anecdote unique to the school, it will be presented in front of you, and it depends on how you perceive and understand. As a result, some people have become "Condor Heroes" after entering college, some people are "smiling proudly", and others can only "walk chivalrous".
After living for a while, Zhan Zhizhan discovered that the ivory tower on the university campus was angular and could be bumped into if you weren't careful. When he was in high school, Zhan Zhizhan's teacher was like a loving mother who taught him how to study and how to live. But in college, teachers will always let you think for yourself and make choices. Even Mr. Liu, the counselor of Zhan Zhizhan's class, only reminded the students what problems to pay attention to, so that their university life could be more fulfilling and richer, and he accompanied the students along the way.
Freshman year was spent in novelty and busyness. As a result of the fresh liberation from the sea of books in high school, I suddenly found myself a little at a loss for everything around me. In addition, the education method of university is different from that of high school, so including Zhan Zhizhan, there is a period of time spent slowly adapting. The stupidest and most effective way is not to "sleep in a grass hut", but it must be "closed door" like in high school. After adapting to school life, Zhan Zhizhan found that this was a colorful world, and the school was not just a place to learn cultural knowledge, but also a place where he could learn many other things. Before I knew it, my freshman year was spent in a busy study and novelty.
After entering the sophomore year, there is no freshness of the freshman year, and the homework burden has also increased. Even, more than that. But in the busyness, Zhan Zhizhan also experienced a sense of fulfillment, enjoyed the joy of success, and learned to deal with problems in study and life independently. Zhan Zhizhan feels like he's grown up! In their sophomore year, most of their classmates learned to skip class. A student who doesn't skip class is not a good student, and not skipping any class is no different from skipping any class. Skipping class is a very skillful thing, and Zhan Zhizhan gradually mastered the law of skipping class. You must take the initiative to learn, and you can't be led by the nose by the teacher all day long like you did in high school. There's nothing wrong with skipping class, but don't skip the wrong class, that's the truth.
After the junior year has the foundation of the sophomore year, his heart seems to be much more down-to-earth, and his life is much smoother. When welcoming the new students, looking at the faces that were as ignorant, young and full of expectation as they were at the beginning, Zhan Zhizhan's heart was full of relief and pity. I think that's how Lao Tzu came back then. Now Zhan Zhizhan, who has come over, finally has the qualifications to show himself in front of the new students. Zhan Zhizhan patiently guided the way for the freshmen, enthusiastically helped the freshmen pack their luggage, and carefully explained the precautions for the freshmen. From time to time, I interjected a sentence or two in the chat, "I also came here with the help of my senior brother and senior sister." "It's okay, there's nothing difficult in the world, there's nothing remarkable, and you'll get used to it slowly." "If you need it, you can go to the dormitory to find me."
Time flies, and after being promoted to the fourth year, most of the students have formed independent personalities and independent thoughts. And Zhan Zhizhan suddenly found himself at a crossroads again, and began to be confused again. The big thing is that the course burden of this year is not heavy, and there is no need to close the door all day long. But a new problem has come again, the students in the class have begun to plan for the future, and many students have begun to prepare for the graduate school entrance examination. Zhan Zhizhan was confused again, and at this time he found that many problems had to be faced by himself, and others could not make decisions for you, even if these people were their parents, and their lives were walked out step by step by themselves. He knew that he should face the problem positively and take the initiative to solve the problem. During the year, he suddenly found himself a little older.
The most important thing in the senior year is emotion. I feel that time has passed, I feel the ignorance before, and the green years have passed silently. Looking back at the past, the scenes are as clear and profound as yesterday. It seems that it is just a snap of the fingers, but before I know it, three years have passed. Zhan Zhizhan can be said to be an old fritter in his junior year, and he can't bring up the freshness and courage of anything. Cai Shichang, the youngest old pimple in the bedroom, nicknamed "Vegetable Market", once said something that was difficult for Zhan Zhizhan to understand at the time: "I wanted to fall in love early, but I found that I was old!" ”
After the start of the senior year, another batch of freshmen enrolled. Zhan Zhizhan suddenly felt that he was really old, and he was no longer as impulsive and irritable as he was in the first three years of college, and he was lazy when he encountered anything. The heart, after three years of precipitation, has also calmed down a lot, and I know how to think twice before I act. There are fewer classes in his senior year, and Zhan Zhizhan doesn't seem to be as attentive to lectures as he used to be. Zhan Zhizhan really admires those students who are preparing for the graduate school entrance examination, and they are still performing behind closed doors day and night.
When they first entered the campus, they were full of curiosity about everything, and they were only afraid of one thing, and that was to go to the cafeteria to get food. There is a long queue at every window of the cafeteria, but the window is always crammed with people, and there are always unconscious people who are unwilling to wait in line. Sometimes an older student would show up in the cafeteria, shouting loudly to maintain order. The classmates were discussing, this is the "big head" Wen Qiushi, the head of the school's student union. Not to mention, most of the unconscious classmates really gave face to the "big head of Wen" Wen Qiushi, and they really came to the end of the line. But Wen Qiushi, the "big head", obviously doesn't have time to maintain order here, and cooking has really become an annoying thing for the students.
I don't know when it started, the "Condor Heroes" among the classmates began to walk out of the "grass house" where they performed behind closed doors, and appeared sweetly on the table in the cafeteria. Whoever gets along with whom means that the jobs of two people must first be combined, uniformly compiled, and uniformly distributed. One for vegetables, one for rice, two spoons you come and go, you push me to let me, so intimate, envy the dead.
The times are advancing, reform and opening up, and everything looks at "money".
The school cafeteria is often used as a "dance hall" on weekend nights, and its area can be imagined, but the conditions are limited. And the dime a ticket inside really attracted those "Condor Heroes". Naturally, Zhan Zhizhan often went to the Balala celebrity club of the fifth brother "Hao Maniac", and the dance hall with a poor environment temporarily renovated in the school canteen, Zhan Zhizhan was disdainful. Later, I heard that the dance hall of the school cafeteria was seized by the Provincial Public Security Department. The school's explanation was that the fire prevention was not up to standard, and in fact, many female students gradually became obsessed with dancing in the dance hall of the school cafeteria. As a result, the dance hall has become a place where all kinds of people from all walks of life and nine streams are mixed, and law and order is also chaotic, and some idle people in society have also targeted young, beautiful, and simple female students. In this case, it would be strange if there was nothing wrong with the ballroom. In short, life on a college campus is rich and colorful.
In the blink of an eye, Zhan Zhizhan was discharged from the hospital. After Brother Hai and his second brother Wu Youyi were wiped out, although one of the main culprits, the "Green-Blooded Ghost", has been brought to justice, but Kazuo Harada and "Bumping into the Ghost" are still at large, and the whereabouts of "Duao Xueling" have still not been found. Especially those black-clothed people who almost took Zhan Zhizhan's life, Zhan Zhizhan was always depressed whenever he thought about it, lamenting that he didn't know when the suffering he suffered in this world was the head.
The fourth brother "Old Gaoli" once advised Zhan Zhizhan, why did the Buddha pick good people to suffer? This is also the virtue you have accumulated for several lifetimes to have this fate. All human beings come to this world of samsara to suffer, and to suffer is to repay the debts of your past lives, that is, karma that makes things go wrong for you. You have suffered everything, and the more you suffer, the faster you will pay off your debts. If you don't have any debts, you can easily go up and no longer suffer from the cycle of depravity. It is easiest to be liberated from suffering, because you are only one step away from the way of heaven. Being a human being is the easiest to fall because you are one step away from the evil way. The Buddha makes good people suffer and hears the Fa-rectification, all for you to seize the opportunity to gain human rebirth, achieve it as soon as possible, and be reborn and cultivate to the right fruit. Although it is very difficult, if you cultivate according to the Fa, there will definitely be some results if you plant the cause.
"Old Gaoli" also comforted Zhan Zhizhan that it is easy to go downhill and difficult to go uphill, especially when you have a heavy back, the faster you roll down, and it is difficult to go up. There is a cloud in the "Lengyan Sutra": "If you cultivate samadhi, you will work out of dust." If the lustful heart is not removed, the dust will not come out. Even before the advent of wisdom meditation, if you continue to commit adultery, you will fall into the path of demons. The high-grade demon king, the middle-grade demon people, and the low-grade witch. Master Yinguang once taught: The easiest way to achieve the Dharma is to recite the Dharma, although it can bring karma to life, but if the obscenity is consolidated and cannot be resolved, it will be separated from the Buddha, and it is difficult to sense the Tao. In this way, the Buddha will not be of much help. Even if you enter the meditation and wisdom before the present, if you continue to commit adultery, the highest is only to be a high-grade demon king, and you will not be able to become a Buddha. The five precepts are killing, stealing, adultery, and drinking, and one is continuous, that is, it is impossible to leave life and death.
Although Zhan Zhizhan felt that "Old Gaoli" was not unreasonable, he also tried to go to the library to find some books on Buddhism to study. Zhan Zhizhan does not want to become a monk, it is also good to learn to study Buddhist works and learn the principles of life.
