After resting for a while, the two sat back in the house and began a new round of talking about life.

"Through the battle just now, you should understand your biggest problem in realm comprehension. ”

Ji Aojian asked a little ashamedly, "Third sister, do you think my level of enlightenment is too low?"

"Needless to say?"

Ji Shengdian sighed, "Those regional-type great grandmasters, religious-type great grandmasters, in my opinion, should be called half-step innate and cannot be regarded as true enlightenment. ”

"Hey, you've even pulled out the concept of 'half-step'. Ji Aojian asked, "Then I shouldn't stare at the big river in the future, right?"

"Not really. Ji Shengdian said, "The benevolent person is happy with the mountain, the wise person is happy with the water, and the mountain and water can also understand the infinite Taoist meaning." But if you are limited to a specific mountain and a river, that kind of realm will naturally be very shallow. ”

"Then let me ask again, why are there restrictions on the great masters who came out of the religious circles and have a profound cultural heritage?"

"A world-class religion has a broad and profound cultural connotation, but there are many tribes and prejudices. "For example, Buddhism is divided into Mahayana and Hinayana and Mahayana, and Mahayana is divided into two sects, Sutra and Tantra in China, and there are several schools of Sutra in China, and each school is also divided into several sects, and it may even be subdivided." Do you think, even if a disciple from a certain sect has some understanding, can his achievements be comparable to those of the patriarch of the great sect, the patriarch of Mahayana, and the founder of Buddhism?"

In this way, if a world-class religion is an infinite number of mountains and rivers, a subtle branch is a specific mountain and a river. Ji Aojian was thoughtful. "Think outside the sectarian, the portal. in order to see a broader world. ”

"Yes, to achieve greater enlightenment. You have to be inclusive. ”

"But this is only the simplest and most understandable truth, and will those who truly seek the Tao not understand it?"

Ji Shengdian smiled, "Theoretically speaking, the higher the mountain a person stands on, the more he will find himself small, and the more a person learns, the more he will feel his ignorance. ”

"yes, yes, that's how it should be. ”

"I just said it was theoretical. Ji Shengdian continued. In fact, high peaks may be shrouded in clouds and mist, and those who stand on the top of the peak cannot see the grand world, but only know that they are standing at a high height, and the people under the peak are inferior to themselves, which breeds complacency and arrogance. ”

Ji Aojian understood, "This is really too bad, and it is difficult for him to have room for further improvement." ”

"Throughout the ages, many people have just been complacent. Fell in front of the innate threshold. Ji Shengdian suddenly thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face, "And not only individuals, but also a country will be arrogant." I don't know how many pounds and taels I have. ”

Ji Aojian asked curiously, "Is there such a thing?"

"For example, a country has a huge working population. A splendid ancient civilization and a thousand-mile river with abundant water. The vast amount of land that is conducive to cultivation has an overwhelming advantage in national strength in the region. Far better than the surrounding small countries, there is also a vast ocean nearby that can be used as a backyard. Ji Shengdian smiled, "So is it right that this country thinks that it is a world power and has a leading position?"

"This-" Ji Aojian scratched his hair, "You're talking about the third brother, right?"

"Oops, you guessed it. ”

"It can only be regarded as a regional power, not a world power. Ji Ao Kendao, "There is the blockade of the Indochina Peninsula in the east, the blockade of the Islamic world in the west, the suppression of the roof of the world in the north, and although there is the Indian Ocean with the same name as the country in the south, the maritime hegemony of the entire earth has long been in the hands of Western countries." How can such a country whose geopolitical strength is completely encircled have influence beyond the region?"

"But people have the mentality of a standard world power, and they even feel that they have a higher world status and better development prospects than their neighbor to the north. ”

Ji Aojian snorted, "I'm not even a permanent member of the United Nations, and I can't participate in any international political and economic affairs outside the South Asian subcontinent, so I am embarrassed to think that I am a world power?"

Ji Shengdian smiled, "Then tell me, why does it have a righteous and powerful mentality?"

"It itself has quite good basic conditions, and it can't be said that it doesn't have a little influence in the world, and if the standards are relaxed, it can barely be regarded as a quasi-world power, or a 'half-step'. Ji Aojian said, "It is precisely because of a certain strength and the stimulation of the ambition of a great power, but the lack of correct understanding of oneself, so there are all kinds of illusions." ”

Ji Shengdian smiled, "Then what kind of misconceptions are they?"

"There are too many, for example, they feel that they have an advanced political system, although after decades, the caste class is still solidified, the gap between rich and poor continues to widen, and religious conflicts continue to erupt, but this does not prevent them from firmly believing that they are advanced. ”

"Anything else?"

"Under the special background of the times, when they founded the country, they did not carry out armed struggle, and they influenced the lord of the suzerainty to let them become independent, which is simply the highest state of the army without a fight, and all the people of this country can become saints, which is simply earth-shattering greatness in human history, and completely despises those uncivilized countries that are simple and rude and only know how to shed blood and fight. ”

Ji Shengdian exclaimed, "The whole people canonized, what a miracle." ”

Ji Ao Kendao, "It is precisely because of wearing all kinds of tall halos that this country feels that it has a unique temperament and spirit that leads the world, and if it is not regarded as a world power, it is simply unreasonable." ”

"That's a good point. ”

"Actually, the third brother's situation is not excessive. Ji Aojian said, "There is a person whose strength is not as good as the third brother, but his mentality is stronger than that of the third brother, and he has reached the realm of a great power in the universe, then it is even more remarkable." ”

Ji Shengdian smiled, "Will it really become a cosmic power?"

"How is that possible!" Ji Ao Kendao, "The great powers of the universe have been the fate of the buffer zone for thousands of years, and they are still being divided. ”

Therefore, if we want to continue to improve, we must recognize our own shortcomings, and we must always have a heart of awe for the world. Ji Shengdian Zhengse said, "Because I am insignificant, I can grow with infinite potential." ”

"Third sister, what you said is so right. Ji Aojian said yes again and again.

"So Xiaojian, do you have any awe?"

"Me?" Ji Aojian was surprised that she suddenly asked this question to herself, and said after a moment's pause, "I should be quite in awe of this world." ”

Ji Shengdian smiled and shook his head, "No, you don't have real awe. ”

"Third sister, why do you say that?" Ji Aojian was unconvinced, "I have never bullied people with power, nor have I been corrupt in life, I have been practicing seriously every day, thinking about the truth of the universe and life......"

"Hey, in this way, you are a typical literary youth. Ji Shengdian clapped his hands and said, "The most typical characteristic of a person like you is that he thinks that his life realm is far superior to ordinary people, so he always looks down on all living beings in the world with a lofty attitude and perspective. ”

Ji Aojian was stunned, "I'm looking down on all beings?"

"Isn't it?" Ji Shengdian asked rhetorically, "When you were fighting gangs in New York, when you encountered a shipwreck at sea, when you instigated Fluttershy to corrupt the law, think about how you behaved at that time, are you a game-playing mentality?"

Ji Aojian muttered, "Third sister, what do you mean, is there anything wrong with what I did?"

"I'm not talking about whether you're doing the right thing, I'm talking about your mentality. ”

"Is there something wrong with my mentality?"

"This mentality of yours is called the fairy perspective. Ji Shengdian said with a smile, "Because I believe that I have great strength, I regard the people of the world as ants, and the moral laws of the world as nothing." ”

"But when the strength reaches a certain level, the rules can be changed. Ji Aojian said sullenly, "A powerful country dominates the international order, and a powerful class grabs the main interests of the country, I am strong enough, shouldn't there be a corresponding change in mentality?"

"The question is, how can you be sure that you are truly powerful?"

Ji Shengdian said slowly, "If you don't recognize your own strength and are just arrogant, then your mentality will not become the mentality of a world power just now, or even the mentality of a universe power?"

Ji Aojian was stunned for a moment.

"After the gap between the strong and the weak is widened, the strong naturally have the urge to do whatever they want, they can be capricious if they have money, and they can be arrogant if they have power, which can be learned without teaching. Ji Shengdian continued, "So the strong mentality does not need to be pursued at all, and it is not worth pursuing. ”

Ji Aojian nodded silently.

"But the path of cultivation is endless, there are always things in front of us that make us feel small, and any past achievements that make us feel strong are only a temporary illusion. Therefore, having and maintaining a true heart of reverence in order to keep moving forward is the most important thing for a practitioner. ”

"Third sister, you're so right. ”

"Xiaojian, you are a young man, you are strong in martial arts, and you have made a great career in the world, and you can be called a man of the hour in this era. Ji Shengdian muttered, "So for you now, I really don't know what you should be in awe of." ”

"No, it's not. Ji Aojian had a sincere expression on his face, "Every time I see you, Third Sister, I am very in awe." ”

"Oh?" Ji Shengdian's expression showed a hint of surprise, and then said, "It's not enough to fear me, you have to fear this world." ”

"So what should I do?"

Ji Shengdian smiled, "I have an excellent method, you go to find the lowest job, experience the oppressive life at the bottom, and feel your powerlessness and insignificance from it, maybe you can know how to be in awe." (To be continued......)
