The philosophy of life is to listen to nature
I saw a picture of words, very pure: the green bamboos and yellow flowers are all Buddha-nature, the bright moon in the clear pond illuminates the Zen mind. Just a few words, gratuitous wit comes to mind.
What is the greatest blessing? Even if people spend their entire lives, it may be difficult for them to reach the ultimate state. Green bamboo, yellow flowers, clear pond and bright moon are all natural and ordinary things, but they have infinite flavor. After enlightening for a long time, I realized that nature is the greatest way.
A flower. Whether in a corner or in a noisy place, what stands there is a real presence. As for the kind of container it is placed in, there is almost no substantial change for the flower, which may affect its growth status or life span. From germination to slowly sprouting, the process of being close to the soil is the best growth, and it is the beautiful bloom of nature. All flowers must have an external environment to awaken their inner potential and encourage them to consciously overcome hardships such as wind and rain, blooming quietly or alone, or blooming in full bloom. The death of Xiangxiao is another kind of existence, a beautiful curtain call, and an elegant farewell.
A bird. You can build a simple or gorgeous nest under the eaves, between grass nests, or on tree branches. These nests not only carry the need for rest, but also breed the desire to reproduce. I often see empty swallow nests, which are temporarily occupied by sparrows when the swallows go south. The sparrow is not frightened, as if it were its own home, coming in the wind and going out in the rain, leisurely and happy as before. Once the swallows return, there may be a fight, or maybe just a friendly farewell. It turns out that everything belongs temporarily. And the bird that flies high into the sky, where does it end up? There are so many creatures that we cannot see clearly or identify, but they have achieved reproduction and reproduction in their own way.
A cloud. Looking up at the sky, what we see is not only infinity, but also concrete and tangible objects. Clouds are the most common physical state. Sometimes they fail to gather together, and sometimes they change in many ways. No matter how they change, the nature of clouds cannot be changed. Everything in the world has its natural attributes and its natural way. When the land we depend on suffers from drought, people look forward to rain very strongly. We cannot exist freely without losing any of them. If there are no catastrophes encountered by humans or nature, everything will go as planned. To ignore a cloud may be to ignore our own value. From this point of view, Yunjuan Yunshu is also the great road.
The green bamboos and yellow flowers, the clear pond and the bright moon seem to have no connection, but they grow naturally and endlessly according to their own laws. It turns out that in the invisible depths, everything in the world is closely related and dependent on each other.
We often search everywhere for a path that suits us, but we often end up confused. The classic remarks of many masters have been preserved in books or other forms and have become a reference for us to understand nature and ourselves. Due to the influence of many factors, we will fall into a vague circle. After all, it is difficult for human beings to have comprehensive or fundamental understanding.
Returning to nature may be our best choice. By listening carefully to all things in the world, we can walk calmly in a selfless state of mind.
Let it go. Living is itself an experience. Our choices determine our destination and our state of mind, but the law of reaching the same destination through different paths cannot be violated. The distance from here to there is just a line segment. Only after we have seen through many uncontrollable facts can we tell ourselves that gains and losses are the best combination. "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise." Chinese wisdom is indeed of extraordinary value. If we can let go, we can have no desires, and if we have no desires, we will be fearless, and if we are fearless, we will be selfless.
Affordable. Humans exist to assume and fulfill their responsibilities as living individuals. Shrinking in your own small circle, you can only look back and feel sorry for yourself, sighing to yourself, which not only hurts yourself, but also hurts those around you.
Even if everything will be like smoke and fleeting, as we who grab nutrients from the world, as long as we have our breath, we must create wealth for the world we live in, not only to meet our own needs, but also to create for others, because We have taken what others have created without any cost. Being able to afford it is not a matter of magnanimity, but the most basic responsibility.
Be open-minded. It is not about escaping from the world and being otherworldly, but about calmly examining one's role and responsibilities, and engaging in life with a positive behavior. "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself." Fan Zhongyan's state of mind may be difficult for most people to reach, and there is no need to be harsh on yourself. As long as you can devote yourself to the life track you choose or the life track given by society, and work hard to move forward, you can Bring peace of mind and create a wonderful life. Right and wrong, merits and demerits will be commented by future generations. There is no need to live in the praise and criticism of others. "Be magnanimous and open-minded" is of great significance.
We all live in reality and in illusion. I end this essay with a sentence that is similar to a Zen saying: If there is no self, then I am; if there is me, then I am not.
