Officer and Sensible

Zhang Haiyan sighed and said: Hey, only people with financial freedom like Ksitigarbha can have the leisure to discover many beauties that others have not noticed, have the opportunity to experience happiness that ordinary people cannot understand, and have the conditions to go to the place that they want.

The three natures and three lives of life refer to the different realms of each person’s life.

Yan Tingting said disapprovingly: According to what you say, this poor person has no happiness? I think as long as you know how to be content and know how to live, the fun will be everywhere. Don't people often say that you only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals, and you will drink water with love.

You are full! Whether your life is good or not is not all determined by those external conditions. As long as you can be with the people you like, no matter how hard or tired you are, you will be happy.

A person's growth environment determines his horizons. Of the two of them, one is afraid of poverty; one does not know what poverty is, and one has lived a hard life and knows what pain is; one has seen other people being poor and thinks he is.

That is pain; there is a kind of happiness in the world called happiness in the eyes of others. Sometimes that kind of happiness is just to make others envious. There is a kind of pain in the world called the pain of others. In the eyes of others, pain is at best some kind of realization and two lines of tears.

, that's just sympathy, where would there be any real pain...

The most painful thing in the world is that pain cannot be shared with others like happiness. Pain cannot be communicated or sensed. Unless one day, pain suddenly comes to you, otherwise, then

It will always be the pain of others, but you will never be able to truly understand it.

Zhang Haiyan said calmly: You have never suffered, so you don't understand the reason why poor and humble couples suffer from everything. The poor have no life. Everything they do is just to live. They are struggling between life and death. How can they have any leisure and elegance to look around them?

The beauty of flowers blooming, the breeze blowing...

Of course Yan Tingting was not convinced. She felt that the life of those newspaper sellers was actually quite good. They were united and loving, working hard and sweating for their families, especially the simple smiles on their dark faces, simple satisfaction, and simple happiness.

Make her envious, she just likes the simple life where you plow the fields and you fetch water, and I wipe your sweat, cheer you and feed you.

She then said calmly: Being rich does not necessarily mean there is no pain. Happiness all depends on one's mood. As long as you can abandon your delusions, calm your mind, and slow down, you can discover the beauty of life at any time, no matter how hard or tiring the days are.

, you can still live a happy life. Otherwise, if you sigh all day long, always envy others, and worry about this and that, no matter how much money you have, you will still not be happy and you will still feel the same.

It’s so stressful and life is so tiring!

Zhang Haiyan said: Different people have different happiness, and different realms have different pains. Ordinary people live to satisfy physical happiness and pursue basic needs such as fullness, warmth, food, and desires; this literary youth lives

It is to enjoy spiritual pleasure, such as playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and song, traveling all over the world, etc., just for the satisfaction of being able to chat with people and talk about emotions. To put it bluntly, it is a love of vanity; what about Pan Lu, Deng Xiaoxian and others?

, then you have to pursue soul compatibility, do things that are overflowing with love, such as dedication, dedication, and saving the world, just to make everyone feel happy because of what he has done, so that everyone can praise him, and everyone

Be proud of him.

Yan Tingting smiled and said: Look at what you said, what does it mean that rich people have overwhelming love?! Don’t we ordinary people know how to give and contribute? Don’t forget, whenever you encounter a natural or man-made disaster, you should charge forward

They are all those thousands of ordinary people. It is their standing up, selfless dedication, and heroic sacrifice that have preserved the happiness and health of all of us. How can you say that they don't have noble feelings?

!

Zhang Haiyan nodded and said: You are right. In fact, these three natures are not divided into rich and poor. It is the noble qualities inherent in ordinary people, the brilliance of human nature that is born toward death, that can truly transcend.

The three natures illuminate the whole world. Just like small insects such as bees and ants, they are willing to sacrifice their lives and fight to the death to defend their nests! Their sacrifices are not for the praise and worship of others, but just

In order to give the ethnic group the right to continue to reproduce and survive, this is the great love, the great love of mortal heroes!

Yan Tingting nodded and said: Ants will not bite to death their companions who are afraid of death or who are scarred. But I agree with your point of view. It is precisely because of those thousands of mortals who continue to fight and sacrifice heroically that mankind can survive again and again.

We have overcome disasters and survived to this day. Otherwise, we don’t know how many times we would have been extinct, and how could we have the wonderful life we ​​have today!

Zhang Haiyan nodded and said: Yes, the most praiseworthy people are these mortals. What is most worth remembering is the price and sacrifice they have paid! Don't look at them, they may not have those noble ideals and touching words.

God knows, they are walking around the pot, thinking only about firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, and caring about any gain or loss. They live their lives doing nothing, just to live, to care about their lives, and to take a breath for their own miserable life.

There is no time to take a break. They are reluctant to give up and let go of nothing except their own lives...

Yan Tingting couldn't help but think of those poor newspaper sellers, and nodded empathetically: That's right, it's not easy for people to survive. What they have in their heads are the most basic survival instincts, and what they can't let go of is

Family ties of flesh and blood, if you think about it carefully, their lives are actually no different from those animals, so there is no leisure and leisure to think about other useless things.

Zhang Haiyan said: Yes, they are not like those outstanding people who can still think about the value of life, thinking that they cannot lose themselves in life, but also enjoy life by eating, drinking and having fun; and unlike those outstanding people, besides these

We must also pursue the meaning of life, ponder why people live, and feel that when they come to this world, they have the aura of their own mission. They have to do something for this world. If they don’t turn this world upside down, it seems like it was in vain.

They are all sorry for Bodhisattva. Is this the so-called value of life that they pursue in this world?!

Yan Tingting listened to her carefully and then said quietly: The three lives you mentioned are life, life and mission.

Zhang Haiyan nodded and said: Yes, the corresponding three natures are human nature, spirit and soul. However, the relationship between them is not an unchanging and stable state. They can transcend each other under the stimulation of external forces, just like

Like lasers and nuclear explosions, as long as something drives the catalysis, he can switch back and forth between different energy fields. He can do evil even if he is sanctimonious. Ordinary people can also perform shocking feats, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, high or low, good or bad.

limit.

Yan Tingting was speechless for a moment by what she said, and could only say angrily: Ksitigarbha is not the kind of person you said. He is willing to donate his immeasurable Dharma wealth to all suffering sentient beings, so that they can practice and achieve success, just like a treasure, so

It's called "Zang". As you just said, the Buddha took a fancy to him. Although he was an ordinary person, his character was valuable and worthy of a role model. Therefore, the Buddha made him a Buddha in order to educate the world.

He sets an example and encourages everyone to learn from him, and everyone strives to be a good example of charity.

After hearing this, Zhang Haiyan immediately frowned and said: Wow, if you put it this way, he should be a very great person, but this is different from the civilian feats I mentioned! I think the Buddha set him as an example.

Is there any bias?

Yan Tingting laughed loudly and said: Ten points for correct answers! Did you see it? Although this Guanyin sister is beautiful and capable, she looks proud and glorious on the surface, but in fact she has thousands of hands and eyes, and she is showing off her teeth and claws.

Disturbing the rain did not please the Buddha, so the Buddha gave the honorary title of this role model to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who was low-key, considerate and sensible.

Zhang Haiyan rolled her eyes at her and said: "I understand. What this Guanyin sister wants is incense and scenery, so she rushes to do practical things for everyone. This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva wants to become a Buddha and wants benefits, so she is single-minded."

I just thought about how to please the Buddha. I cannot have both incense and favor, false fame and benefits.

Yan Tingting laughed loudly and said: You are so right. Although your butt has two flaps, you can only sit on one side. You are so big-hearted. It is impossible to please both sides.

As for the matter, whenever the interests of both parties conflict, then the real story must be revealed. Hasn’t the whole story been revealed?!

Zhang Haiyan nodded and said: It seems that no matter how good the workman or the sensible man is, no matter how he knows how to do things, everyone can still figure out who is right and wrong among them, and which is more important. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and each has its own merits

Whatever you need, you must consider your gains and losses. If the Buddha can set an example for him, it is also due to his hard work over the years. So I think it is okay for all of us to learn from him his down-to-earth attitude in doing things. But let’s talk about it.

Who should be the role model? I think it would be more appropriate to leave it to the Ksitigarbhas.

Yan Tingting asked strangely: Why?

Zhang Haiyan said: "Look what you said, how can it be so easy to be a role model? If you want everyone to strive to be a role model like him, I think it's better to forget it."

Yan Tingting asked in confusion: Are you saying that only very capable and wealthy people can be worthy of role models and become unparalleled heroes?

Zhang Haiyan nodded and said: Not only these, but here, everyone who can be called a role model must be a perfect person, right? This kind of person relies on life. He has a piece of jade in his mouth as soon as he comes out of his mother's womb.

He has been loved by everyone since he was a child. How can we mortals compare with him? Especially those ordinary people who usually look inconspicuous. They are all ordinary. Why don't you tell me about it?

No matter what big thing happened, who knew he still had the ability to save the world? He still had some minor problems, and everyone looked down but didn't look up, so who didn't know who he was?

Yan Tingting said: That's true, but in the face of great disasters, don't these little people also behave as brave and fearless as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! Charge forward, endure hardships and stand hard work, without their sacrifice and dedication, without them to turn the tide,

How can we turn things around, how can we save ourselves from this series of disasters?! Why can't this feat of unity and unity be compared with the wealth and power of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? Why can't these mortals become good examples for us to learn from?

Already?!

Zhang Haiyan said: What are you talking about called unsung heroes? We are not talking about role models here. As you said, it is better for mortals like us not to have too many ideas, and those who are truly willing to give and sacrifice.

How can people care about personal gains and losses?! Shouldn’t everyone be silently dedicated like Ksitigarbha? Have you ever seen anyone who is willing to sacrifice his life in order to be a role model? What’s more, even his own life is

Who cares about being a role model if you don’t need someone?!

Yan Tingting smiled and said: That's right. Those who only want to be praised and serve as role models must be people who seek convenience. It is very difficult to expect such people to do something practical and save the world.

Zhang Haiyan said: Yes, if the Bodhisattva is like this, how can we mortals be expected to get better? Why don't we fight? It's common to eat the heat by pinching the tips and climbing up by stepping on others. It's all called this.

It's the law of the jungle to get ahead. Although you know more than me, when it comes to social experience, I am no less experienced than you. This society is far more complicated than you think.

Of course Yan Tingting was not convinced, and laughed and said: How many dark sides have you seen? Is this the reason why you are discouraged and do not seek to make progress?

Zhang Haiyan said: Of course not, I'm just advising you not to think too much. Even if you show bravery in front of big things, right and wrong, and you are not ambiguous at all, so what? People like this are not everywhere, everyone is also working hard to survive.

Everyone is contributing their own part in rescuing people, so why should we praise you alone? Is there anything different between you and others? How can everyone learn from you?

Yan Tingting smiled and said: Hahaha, that's true, but what does this have to do with not being a role model?

Zhang Haiyan said: That’s so relevant. Isn’t this all what you said! Has anyone seen a Bodhisattva? Who knows what’s wrong with a Bodhisattva? Mortals are destined not to become a Bodhisattva, so they can only learn from the Bodhisattva!

Therefore, it is better to let Bodhisattva be the role model and hero. Let us follow him in a down-to-earth manner and do our part well. It is already very good. Don’t keep thinking about those useless things.

s things.

Yan Tingting asked in confusion: What do you mean?

Zhang Haiyan said: Don’t you understand what this means? It means that if you want to be a role model, you must first become a Bodhisattva. If you want to be a Bodhisattva, you must go to heaven. If you ascend to heaven and become a Bodhisattva, no one can compare with you.

.Didn’t you listen to what others said? Look at what you are capable of. If you are really as capable as you say, why don’t you go to heaven? So, only if you go to heaven can you convince everyone.

You can talk.
