When we were young, we worked desperately hard to make money, and we didn't care about anything to make money.

When you reach Grandma Chen's age, you may understand that money is a fart!

The elderly usually like to go out to exercise together, if you are not in good health, the richer you are, the less people dare to ask you out, because you are afraid that you will not be able to pay for an accident when you go out.

So you can only guard a pile of money and be stunned by yourself.

Yu'er and I usually go to Grandma Chen's house to help her cook a meal, wash her clothes, or something, so that Grandma Chen is better than using bread and jam all day long to satisfy her hunger.

Of course, there are too many old people like Grandma Chen, and the strength of the two of us alone can't change the general trend at all, but let's do a little bit of it!

And I also knew that in a few years, my parents might have trouble with their legs, and I would never have time to volunteer anymore.

In the long run, when I'm old, it may be a luxury to have someone to take care of me.

But now I can't think about it so much, maybe when I get old, the old-age support system in this society is already very perfect, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

Older people always like to reminisce about their younger days and prefer to talk to young people about their past.

When talking about her youth, Grandma Chen's eyes always shine.

That difficult and unforgettable history, that group of intellectual youth, that period of burning passion, although the material conditions are worse than now, and even the stomach can't be filled, but love is still quietly blooming in that dry land.

Grandma Chen emotionally described to us her first love, the handsome and capable Beijing guy, the kind, upright and versatile young man.

He often starved and sandwiched the braised pork from his bowl into the bowl of the beautiful girl with pigtails.

And when he happily plays the accordion, almost all the female intellectuals will be intoxicated and addicted.

Look at the young face reflected in the sunset, he is like a statue, and the perfect and flawless artwork fascinates all women, who want to throw themselves into his arms at once, unite with him, and give him a baby.

But in the end, ruthless fate made this beautiful moment an eternal freeze.

In the winter of that year, the river where the XPCC was located was in danger due to heavy rainfall, and everyone participated in the operation of fighting the flood and rescuing the embankment.

Suddenly, a wave hit, and the pigtailed girl fell into the river. At this moment, a neat figure jumped in without hesitation.

After choking on a few mouthfuls of water, the pigtailed girl suddenly felt a pair of strong hands holding her up.

The flood season comes quickly, and flash floods are overwhelming. The pigtailed girl saw that she was about to be sent to the shore, but she did not expect a wave to hit and reach the middle of the river. The companions on the shore were in a hurry, but they had nothing to do but watch the two of them flutter in the river.

Those men and old men who like to boast about how hard they fight and how fierce they are in drinking, but now they have become little sheep, trembling on the shore.

The pigtailed girl didn't know who had jumped into the river to save her, and she could only judge by the stout hand that held up her body that it was a man.

And she knows better that this man must be the best in the whole corps. If both of them can survive in the end, the first decision after going ashore without hesitation is definitely to marry him!

Until finally, the increasingly weak hand pushed himself hard, and a faint but familiar voice came with it, "You have to live well!"

The pigtailed girl's eyes moistened, and she knew it was him, it must be her! Eventually, the pigtailed girl was saved, but he was gone. The last words he whispered in the ear of the pigtailed girl were exactly the same as what the actor said in today's Oscar-winning film "Titanic".

She was saved, and he became a hero, and his deeds were sung throughout the province and even the whole country.

In return for him, the organization repaired a heroic tombstone for him. The hero lies quietly in the earth, and with him his beloved accordion is buried.

A life that was unknown but alive a few minutes ago has become a hero, a tombstone, and a memory a few minutes later.

"Not only have I dreamed of him more and more frequently during this time, but I have also often seen him in the community at night, he has never died, he is waiting for me!" Grandma Chen muttered to herself.

I knew that the old man had started talking nonsense again, so I immediately comforted, "Grandma Chen, that is your hallucination, which means that you have never forgotten him in your heart;

Grandma Chen glanced at me, "I know you don't believe me, you wait, one day I will make you believe!"

That night, Yu'er and I drank tea and chatted at Grandma Chen's house as usual.

Grandma Chen habitually stood up and paced a few steps by the window. Suddenly, she pointed out the window excitedly and shouted, "It's him! Come and see, I won't lie to you! He's here again, he's coming to pick me up!"

I jumped to the window and looked down, and the sight almost scared me to death.

I saw under the window that there was indeed a young man dressed up decades ago, carrying an accordion on his back, looking up at us affectionately.

I rushed downstairs like an arrow from a string, but the mysterious young man disappeared in a strange way.

This incident continued to play out at Grandma Chen's house in the days that followed.

I thought to myself, someone must be deliberately pretending to be a ghost and scary, and one day I will beat him half to death if I catch him!

Grandma Chen silently took out a photo from a drawer and handed it to me.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, I was so shocked that I almost didn't scream.

The photograph is the only photo of Grandma Chen and the deceased 60 years ago, and the handsome guy in the photo is exactly the same as the young man I have seen many times downstairs wearing knowing clothes and often carrying an accordion on his back to look up at us.

There are indeed many things in this world that cannot be explained by common sense.

For example, why do all the dogs cry on Halloween? Why does it drizzle in the sky every year during the Qingming Festival?

Atheists have been preaching that there is no god in the world, but in fact, they want to find confidence and courage for their own nonsense.

But the reality is very funny, the famous physicist Newton studied Catholicism in his later years, and the famous scientist Albert Einstein studied Buddhism in his later years.

Albert Einstein extolled the philosophical ideas of Buddhism and predicted that Buddhism might be a discipline in which aliens secretly spread to Earth. Because many things in reality cannot be explained by science, but they can be perfectly explained by Buddhism.

Nowadays, scientists are studying the boundaries of the universe, the origin and end of the universe, which is quite a funny thing.

If the universe has boundaries, what is beyond them?

If the universe had a beginning, what was it before it?

If there is an end to the universe, what will happen after the end?

However, human habitual thinking cannot understand the phenomenon that the universe has no beginning and end, and has no boundaries, and they must study it, even if such research is a waste of resources, time and energy.

Buddhism is different, and if you have studied Buddhism, you will have a good understanding of this natural phenomenon.

Buddhism does not study the question of the origin of all things in the world, and what the Buddha told his disciples was only that "there is a cause and a fate in the world, and there is a cause and a fate in the world."

This "world" refers to all the material and spiritual worlds in our lives.

Buddhism does not believe in the creation of another universe, but the existence of the universe cannot be doubted, and the existence of life cannot be denied.

Buddhism believes that the elements of the universe are eternal, and so are the elements of life, the former being the immortality of matter and the latter being the immortality of spirit.

The so-called eternity means that there is no beginning and no end, and this is the reality of the universe and life.

Buddhism believes that the changes in the form of the universe and the flow of life processes are the result of the "karma" created by sentient beings.

The Hope Primary School named after Uncle Li is under construction in full swing, and the project is also going well.

But there is a very real problem ahead: after the money is spent and the school is built, where will the follow-up funds come from? Where will the teachers be hired? And what will be used to pay the teachers' salaries?

The air in the mountains is fresh and the environment is elegant, which everyone knows and everyone recognizes, but it is really implemented on the individual.

But that's not the case.

The mountains are where the gods live, while the cities are where mortals live. Although this place is congested with traffic all day long

It's jammed, the air is dirty, and it smells of dog shit everywhere, but everyone still wants to stay here.

Yu'er went to all the charities, but the results were not very satisfactory.

I also helped to make a lot of posts asking for help on the Internet, and even used crowdfunding methods, and the result was still

Not ideal.

When people are helpless, they always think of asking for Buddha and Bodhisattva for the first time.

So, Yu'er and I decided to take time out of our day to read Buddhist scriptures, and she recited my prayers in the hope that through this

Way with the help of the Bodhisattva Protector.

After a few days of chanting, the induction really came.

A boss took the initiative to find him, saying that he had read our online post and was moved by what we had done and was willing

Take this responsibility alone.

This boss is about my age, not only rich but also dignified in appearance, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses

The ground was on my nose, and with the gorgeous clothes, luxurious cars, and retinue, it suddenly appeared in front of me

Brilliant light.

In real life, a man is handsome, a man is talented, and a lot of silver is really eye-catching.

Look at how many men in the world have worked hard all their lives, and even sold their bodies and souls, isn't it just for these two words.

Buddhism teaches people to be happy with their fate, not to care too much about material things, and to meditate on one's own body and wealth

Naturally.

But in today's impetuous society, these Buddhist teachings are worthless bullshit, and no one will believe them. People are still busy for money, unscrupulous for money, and sacrificing happiness, health, and happiness for money.

Even fox spirits who claim to have cultivated for thousands of years are not immune.

n at0 p Some people will ask, why doesn't Grandma Chen live abroad with her daughter?

There is a cloud in "Dream of Red Mansions": The world says that immortals are good, but only children and grandchildren can't forget them;

Of course, I'm not saying that Grandma Chen's daughter is not filial, but Grandma Chen doesn't want to cause trouble to her daughter at all.

This is true for all parents, and it is the same for you to become parents after a few years.

Children are their own continuation, parents can do without their children's lives, how can they be willing to drag their children down?
