Chapter 251 Wind and Cloud 2(1/2)

Walking under the dark sky, a prosperous breath came to his ears, but at this time Wu Ling's mood became more peaceful... Whether it was because he was prepared or because he had great confidence in his heart, his mind became brighter at this time.

Such translucence is different from before. Even when the mood is at its most peaceful, there will inevitably be a trace of distractions in the mind. Such distractions represent a mark in the mortal world, which cannot be cut off or erased. As long as you are in the mortal world, you cannot be yourself.

But now walking by the roadside, feeling the tranquility, the prosperity, and the breeze, he has a feeling of floating and flying immortals. He is like a moon hanging in the sky, transparent and quiet, far away from the world, enjoying a quiet state of mind.

The reason for such a change is that now there is a good arrangement for his parents. For Wu Ling, his earthly mark is his parents. As long as his parents exist for one day, he will not be able to truly cut off this mark. No matter when it is, it will become his real thought, giving him a trace of gap in his mind.

But now with the care of his parents, he suddenly felt that he had put down a great burden and his mind had truly recovered. It was in such a mind that Wu Ling suddenly found that his mental power that he could not grow for a long time was increasing rapidly. Even because of the increase in mental power, the energy in his mind penetrated more rapidly, making his body stronger and his strength grow faster.

Although he is still at the primary level of level C, he is sprinting quickly towards the middle level of level C. Even the imperfection in his body is slowly making up for it, truly reaching the level of level C.

Feeling all this, Wu Ling smiled slightly. Only now did he truly realize that practicing is actually cultivating the mind.

What is practice? Practice is to constantly correct one's own mind, because the mind is the master of everything, and the mind controls a person's language and behavior. Different languages ​​and behaviors also reflect different people with social significance. For example, the reason why thieves are called thieves is determined by their stealing behavior. The true practice is not only on the mountain, not only in the temple, but in society and life.

We have to live in society and practice in life. Some people meditate, kowtow, and pluck rosary all day long, but their habits, worries, and mentality remain the same, and there is no change in any way. This is not true practice.

In fact, practice and life and work are not contradictory. Human wisdom is something that each of us has. However, people are trapped in busy affairs, running around to seek, forget, lose themselves, and do not know that the most important and most precious things should be found in their hearts.

Wisdom is in the heart, and true wisdom is one's original dirt-free heart.

Your working environment is also your place of practice. No matter what profession you are in, you must integrate your practice into your work, face the situation and practice your surname, and cultivate your mind to others.

We must fulfill our responsibilities and obligations, do our best to do everything we undertake, focus on our hearts and do every job with all our hearts. We must regard our service objects as parents and sentient beings, think of everything for their interests, and treat every sentient being with sincerity.

When you give without asking for any reward and just do it simply, this is your practice, and you will get incomparable happiness and real ease. Your career, your work, and everything will go smoothly. Don’t be afraid of encountering obstacles. He can practice your mind, improve your level, and increase your wisdom.

Everyone has their own causes and conditions, and their own blessings. What you are attached to will hurt you. Whoever you are attached to will make you sad. Everything is like a dream and illusion. Life itself is like a flowing movie. You must stay in the place of peace and enjoy and observe. Let go of all your random thoughts, but letting go is not giving up. You have to do what you should do and do well. This is called walking in the middle way, and you will never leave.

Life is like a play. The play has already begun, and you have to continue acting. But you must clearly and clearly know that you are acting, where are there real couples? Where are there real children? That is, you must play your role well, and don’t take the show seriously. In fact, the world is not our hometown. All living beings are just passing by. What can you stick to and what can you care about? What can you say less? What can you take a step back?

Don’t just think about yourself in everything. You are a flowing body and a stream of consciousness. First, you must consider it for the other party. Only by removing selfishness, self-interest and self-love can you be at ease. As long as you constantly correct your heart and do it sincerely, others will naturally respect you and like you.

How you treat others, others will treat you. Don’t always blame others, don’t always pick other people’s faults, don’t always like others, don’t always want to change others, first adjust your mentality and cultivate your own heart, and all external environments will follow your heart.

If you accept everything with a broad mind and tolerate everything, you will not have any things you can’t figure out. You see that everyone is a good person, everything is a good thing, and everything is a good situation. You can often find your own shortcomings and constantly get rid of your attachment to yourself. This is practice, otherwise what should you practice?

Sick people need to find health; unemployed people need to find a job; sad people need to find happiness; disappointed people need to find hope. We are almost busy all our lives to find careers, friends, wealth, and fame. We are even looking for it all our lives, but we still can’t find what we want. In fact, looking for it over and over again is the most important thing. This is what “it takes no effort to find it without any effort.”

The mind is endless, and people often feel that they don’t get enough. Therefore, they constantly satisfy themselves through external gains.

By gaining more material, knowledge, reputation, respect and love, make your life more exciting.

If you are not in good health, explore more effective ways to strengthen your body; if you are lacking in knowledge, constantly learn to get closer to the truth. People believe that the closer you are to the truth, the more respect you can get, and many people will be satisfied only if you respect people’s hearts.

Everyone is trying to provide themselves with more and more effective opportunities to compete for fame and fortune through external things and other resources besides "me".

I often see two children fighting for toys. ** seem so irrelevant, but the child tries his best to fight for it. No matter how much persuasion you say, the party who loses the toy is always indignant because his heart is not satisfied.

Without that toy, my heart would be empty.

Almost everyone living in the world repeats the behavior of their children. Everyone is working hard to obtain a lot of wealth, because wealth can satisfy you and prove that you are successful. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, you must constantly accumulate a lot of wealth. As for why you do this, you don’t really know in your heart, and you don’t even know why you need these wealth.

Many people don’t know what they want. However, when everyone in the world thinks like this and does this, they unconsciously think about it and do this.

His heart told himself: I must prove to everyone in this world that I am good too. His own heart has never been completely self; his self, his heart, his happiness, his love, his joy, his peace, and his health, did not start from him, but from outside him.

Everyone is fighting for, constantly fighting for, constantly working hard, and striving to resist the disregard for lack of attention caused by shortcomings. People living in this resistant world have one common characteristic called distress.

It is precisely because of this troubled world that we have the opportunity to discuss: How can we reach a world that is not troubled?

In fact, everything that everyone does is trying to enter such a world.

No matter what you are now, all your actions, including all your studies, labor, interactions and any other efforts, you are trying to get yourself into a world without distress. No distress will allow us to enjoy true happiness, peace, stability and love.

Perhaps, in everyone's eyes, a world without distress is different and may have different expressions, but it must not be what the world today appears.

When a person has no desire for a person, he will be proud of himself. This is a couplet written by Chen Boya, the teacher of the Qing Dynasty writer Ji Xiaolan. The original text is: "If you can be content with things, you will always be prosperous, but when a person has no desire for a person, he will be proud of himself."

The "no desire" mentioned here is to warn people to abandon their minds of utilitarianism and impetuousness, not to be bound by external things, and not to cover their eyes with clouds, so as to obtain a kind of freedom and tranquility that is transcendent to the outside world.

The "no desire" here is not the unintentional and carelessness of life, nor the disheartened and depressed, nor the negative attitude and mediocre philosophy of helplessness and hard-to-hide burdens. Instead, it warns people to get rid of the shackles and troubles of fame and fortune, and do not force them, and only by not seeking something can one pursue something.

"Seeking" is a reflection of life character, but for people, a life of indifference is not as famous as the inside and outside, nor has a prominent position, it is indeed a state that is difficult to reach.

If a person has no desire, he is arrogant. What kind of person has such noble character? He should be a person who has no desires. If a person really reaches no desires and no desires, his personality will automatically improve. The greatness of a personality is that he can pursue the perfection of morality beyond the needs of the best.

Therefore, you can follow the requirements of your personality, do what you do and do not do what you do, and "not reduce your ambitions and not humiliate your body." Do nothing but do everything, and only then can you pursue something without seeking something. This is the highest state of "no seeking".

This state is also a kind of mind, a kind of belief, a kind of character, and a kind of mentality. It is difficult to achieve such a state of mind. Such a state of mind requires the tempering of time, the tempering of a bumpy life, and the indifferent mentality of an open mind that is as calm as water. This indifferent mentality is the ordinary in the absence of desire breeds unrealistic greatness, and surrounds the worries from ancient times to the present. People are "never worry about coming and going", and such indifference is a noble state of pursuit of life at a deep level.

When a person has no desire, he will be taller. Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, said: "No one can understand his ambitions without being indifferent, and no one can achieve far-reaching goals without being quiet." Without seeking is a kind of indifference. In the face of a complex life, what is needed is indifference with nothing to seek.

In life, you should look down on the impermanence of the world and watch the flowers bloom and fall quietly. You need to experience the displacedness in the ups and downs of life, you need to experience the confusion and confusion in confusion, you need to experience the prosperity and decline in the unpredictable situation, and you need to experience the ups and downs of life. Only by experiencing the hardships of life can you slowly sublimate your mind in the state of "people who have no desires and good deeds" can you slowly sublimate your heart.

When a person does not seek good deeds, he will be proud of his own merits and profits. He should not be flocked to him. Fame and wealth do not have to be burdened by them. Although they are all good things, they do not have to be taken away. Just as the song sings "What is fame and profit, life and death, will not be taken away." It is difficult for people to change their inherent concepts. The accumulation of time and the accumulation of life experience make it increasingly difficult for people to look back and see if the concept of their sticks is correct?

When a person has no desire, he will give up the distracting thoughts in his heart and clear the dead branches and leaves accumulated by secular life in his heart. Only by clearing his heart can he maximize the life's best and reading ability; he can reap the glory and glory of the future; he can have the conditions to make life travel far again and again.

When one day one has some insight and dust off the dust of the soul, you may find that life can be a different scene! A person who has no desires is a kind of transcendence, a kind of indifference, and a kind of courage. Being transcendent is like a magnolia, it is unparalleled, spotless, and unscrupulous, with a certain arrogance and reserve, transcendence above the world.

I have read the book "Reading Life", which has compiled dozens of famous philosophers, thinkers, writers and artists, including Lu Xun, Liang Shiqiu, Zhu Ziqing, Ba Jin, Xu Zhimo, etc. The masters made detailed comments on life and people's surnames from the two aspects of life experience and life philosophy, which benefited me a lot. From it, I felt a quiet state of mind, a quiet fragrance of books, and a bottle of sweet fire wine, these are all the character of those who have no desires.

People who have no desires are elevated by themselves. After living for more than 40 years, I told myself that I can no longer beg for anything and force them, even though I have nothing. Because I understand the true meaning of elevating by themselves. Tao Yuanming's elevated by themselves is "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains"; Fan Zhongyan's elevated by themselves is "relaxed and happy, forgetting favors and disgraces." Yang Shen's elevated by themselves is "white-haired fishermen and woodcutters on the river bank, and are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze". Lin Zexu's elevated by themselves is "the sea accommodates all rivers, and tolerance is great; the wall stands thousands of feet high, and no desires is strong." Qi Baishi's elevated by themselves is "people praise them, smile; people destroy them, smile."

A realm of no desire and noble character composes precious songs of life. In this poem and song that have been passed down through the ages, I understand that indifference is enlightened, learn to be quiet and far-reaching, experience that the sea embraces all rivers, and that tolerance is great, experience that the wall stands thousands of feet high, and that without desire is strong...

When a person reaches the point where he is self-reliant and has no desire, he is a person's wisdom to the state where he can take everything lightly. "Getting and losing are with the flow, and his mind does not increase or decrease." Everything in the world belongs to the word "light", lightly illuminating ambition, elegantly illuminating the integrity, and ordinary dealing with the world.

Be content with the circumstances, don’t be happy when you get it, and don’t worry about losing it. Knowing the lack of demands from our ancestors, remember the famous saying “Things can be content and always be content, and people will be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and be content and your life will be colorful!

People can only live once! This is common sense that people often forget. Since they can only live once, they should pay attention to the "how to live". Why should they live too tiring and torture themselves?

Practice is a road, and the end of the road is wisdom. Practice is to cultivate the mind. If you keep a calm mind, everything will go smoothly. Life is actually very simple, it is in the present moment; practice is actually very simple, right around you. Practice is reflected everywhere in life, and practice is always in life. The unsatisfactory life is the little bit of diligence in practice, and it is increased bit by bit. It is harmonious everywhere, and it is free to go with the flow, this is life, this is practice.

I like such a life, one person, one mind, a gentle feeling, and a world that belongs only to you. Clean your heart with clear water, warm your words with words, simple and bright, and you will be happy; I am happy in such a day, sitting alone in a corner of the years, with the beauty of sunshine flowing at the fingertips, reading those sentences of the bright years, and integrating the little bits of insight into the feelings of ink and water. In the morning glow, holding a ray of warm fragrance of time, under the sunset, gently embracing the brilliance of the afterglow, outside the window is the noise of the world, but in the heart is the breeze and clouds.

The pure and simple day is like water, which gracefully replicates the feelings of the passing years. The time alone can be thought; it can be forgotten and can clear the dust of the soul, which is the process of soul restoration. The perception of life is understood in this quietness, and the soul is sublimated in this tranquility. Time is like a river. Even if it is a calm lake, there will be ripples occasionally. Those wandering moods can be comforted in this solitude. The coolness blown by the breeze can be warm in this silence. Time finally warms memories and precipitates beauty. A kind of joy, not about sorrow and joy, but only explains the quiet beauty of the years, and a person's world can also be gentle into songs.

Life moves forward in the interweaving of warmth and coldness, and life continues in the joys and sorrows. We often stand in the crowd of people passing by and watching the people come and go, and what is still surging in our hearts is still the familiar touch. In the deep and shallow footprints of time, encounters and separations are staged every day. Meetings are to leave warmth for each other; separations are just to get out of the seasons that do not belong to us. Time can make our faces vicissitudes, but what remains unchanged is gratitude for life and yearning for a better life. We always believe that the most beautiful scenery is ahead.

Walking a long way, watching a scenery, listening to a song, and thinking of someone, we always like to stop in other people's stories and expect others to give them eternity. But more often, it is a person's joy and a person's long flow. The gathering and separation in the world is just the distance between the heart. There will always be people coming and going in the world. Learn to be grateful in encounters, moved in experiences, and enrich in tolerance. One day, understanding or not understanding, love or not, it is no longer important. Fate separation is ordinary. But those who have and those who have passed away have been the most beautiful scenery in life. I hope that every encounter is a warm embrace; every time you look at each other, you can see each other's most beautiful smiles.

The flowers are the most beautiful, and the love is the most white, and knowing how to leave blank space for life is also a kind of wisdom of life. Indifferent to enlightenment, tranquility leads to the distance, and knowing how to leave blank space for the soul can only be indifferent to gains and losses, not be surprised by favors and disgraces, and leave no intentions; knowing how to leave blank space for feelings can last forever, leave room for room for appreciation, and have tacit understanding; knowing how to leave blank space for life, embrace a piece of poetry, leave a calmness, and have more wisdom, and life can be like poetry and picturesque. People's hearts are at peace from a distance, and time is suitable for each other. Some scenery must be viewed from a distance to be beautiful; some people's feelings must be indifferent to last for a long time, and life is dull and longer, and leaving blank space can be far away. Lotus nourishes the heart and follows the circumstances. The most beautiful thing of life is just the distance of understanding.

Life is beautiful after all, with sunshine, rain and dew, white clouds, fresh flowers, and sometimes unhappy, it is because you put a wall in your heart. Hold a poem and learn to smile when the wind blows; listen to the words of your heart when the rain falls, let every day that is as white as water flows through the eyebrows and the heart; let some past be relieved in the precipitation of time. The mountains and rivers of life are blooming, and the scenery around you is always graceful. The important thing is to look at the scenery, find a meter of warmth of the sun in the morning, pick up the poetry of the afterglow of the sun at dusk, and appreciate the brightness of spring; the prosperity of summer; the accumulation of autumn and the abundant winter. As long as the heart is filled with sunshine, there is a beautiful scenery in your eyes. The mountains and rivers that walk through life are the most beautiful is still the sea of ​​flowers in your heart.

I have always wanted to walk in the world in the simplest way. In a corner of the years, I have a shallow warmth, hold a cup of tea, guard the tranquility in my heart, listen carefully to the whisper of time, and use a pen and a heart to ferry in the words. Loneliness, but not quiet, tranquil, but not empty. In the bumps, find a touch of sunshine, pass through the thorns; in the wind and rain, hold an umbrella, walk through the mud. Let the mind of the **, drift with the wind and rain, drift with the wind, even if I see all the colorful flowers, my heart is still pure and peaceful; even if I taste the taste of life, I am still happy in the ordinary, and in the passing years, I have a free and easy, and I will write the wonderful book of life. Looking back, there is the relief of flowing water and falling flowers. After the twists and turns of life, the road is still wide, the scenery is still graceful; the heart is still clear.

I long for the warmth of the sun, but I don’t reject the loneliness of the night; I like prosperity, but I am not afraid of the loneliness of the low point, I long for success, but I am not afraid of setbacks and hardships; I long for possession, but I am not afraid of the pain of loss. Because I know that all things must have a process; all experiences are a kind of understanding; all pasts are a gift of time. There is warmth and coldness in the deep fallen red; the vicissitudes of the world are ordinary, half a cup of tea, watch the ups and downs of life; a quiet mind, see the cool world. A free and easy way, let the world be less wind and frost as far as your eyebrows, leave a pure sky, and let the heart rest. Those engraved in the depths of the years are our own rhythm of life.

Kindness is a soft flower blooming in the heart. Everyone has a seed of kindness in their hearts. Kindness is the smile of the soul and a gratitude for life. Looking at the world with a kind heart will not be hurt or cold. The more tolerance, the more understanding; the more kindness, the more hope, your sweet smile, the warm hands you once helped others; the love you give out, even if it is only the faint light like a firefly, will warm a lonely heart. Giving a rose to others, the fragrance of the hand will leave. The beauty of this world is not that one person gives a lot, but that everyone gives a little, and treating others well is treating themselves kindly. Treating the encounters of life with a kind heart, life will be bright everywhere.

Living is not to please others. The meaning of life is not how to change yourself into what others like, but to try to be the person you like. Be a leaf that dances, find yourself in the dance, be a small flower, show yourself in the bloom, be a grass, interpret strength in obscurity, be a cloud, free and easy yourself. Even if I am not perfect, even if I am not free and easy enough, I will face it with a smile, give myself a smile, open my heart, let my heart fly, give others a smile, let narrow selfishness fade away, let sincerity spread in every look, and let smiles be displayed in every look back. A knowledge of the dust, paint a white lotus in the heart, paint a quiet white lotus in the heart, not bloom for anyone, not fall for anyone, the pure heart is warm, and the smile is peaceful.

There are thousands of stories of life, each with a different version. Looking back, there will always be touching in the dim lights; when marriage meets each other, warmth will always be left behind. Be happy in every journey of mountains and rivers, relieve in every look back, enjoy the present, not change a touch of scenery for anyone, and don’t miss the music of your own life. After experiencing the warmth and coldness, you will know the brilliance of the sun; passing by prosperity, you will know that the plainness is the most true, and life is the interpretation of the wonderfulness in plainness; life is the hardships being dried on the branches to become strong. The wisdom of life is to cross the bridge, and to cross it without a bridge. In this life, the mountains are high and the water is long, accompanying with warmth, and carrying with understanding, clean the heart with clear water, like clouds, walking lightly; like water, still water flows deep; like flowers, fragrant and pleasant; put the brightness in your heart, simple happiness, stable happiness.

There is a state of mind, although I have experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, I am still warm; there is a smile, even though I have experienced the wind, frost, snow and rain, I am still bright; there is a mentality, even though I have experienced the prosperity and tranquility of the world, I am still indifferent; there is a life, even though I have been busy, I am still happy; there is a period of time, even though I have been warmth and coldness, I am still quiet; there is a life, even though I have experienced the twists and turns, I am still vivid. Open the curtain of the stage of life, listen to the passing years like songs, either sad or happy, sliding from the fingertips. What is successful is when the mountains and rivers are over, and the emergence of hope is when the peaks and turns, as long as there is a sun in my heart, why not be afraid of the vicissitudes of the world? If you can follow everything, it is a good time in the world. The most beautiful life is the free and easy way to look back and smile.

We have always been grateful to those who have passed through life. They have brought us warmth and made us understand cherishment and gratitude; we have thanked those who have always been by our side, let us understand efforts and gains, and we have thanked those who have hurt us. The setbacks and ups and downs have taught us to be strong, faced, tolerant and understanding. We have thanked the years, given me a clear sky, let me cultivate pears and plant chrysanthemums in my words, plant all my sorrows and joys, thanked life, gave me experience and let us grow, let me walk through the mountains and rivers of life, let me still have clear winds and moons after going through the long and bright mountains and rivers; thanked time, gave us quiet and beautiful time, let us cultivate our hearts, let us learn to stand in our own scenery with a smile.

Life is a practice, destined to go through thousands of twists and turns, only then can you meet the love of your life, and you are destined to experience ups and downs, and only then can you understand the meaning of life. At the end of life, you must return to simplicity and simplicity, and live the day into the taste of a cup of boiled water and a bowl of porridge. Only then can you taste the true taste of life, and happiness will come unexpectedly. Only by outlining the pages of life with simple lines can you be as poetic as a painting. As long as the purity of the soul is still there, it is the ever-old scenery of life. Burn a lantern of heart to illuminate every dark corner.

There is a lot of content in practice, especially today, facing this world of material desires, humans have to experience more ** than ever. If there is no correct standard of right and wrong, and there is no correct outlook on life and values, we may become slaves of ** at any time, thus losing ourselves in the sea of ​​people. Therefore, every day, we must remember: we are practicing.

Play is like life, life is like play. Each of us is both the director of our own life and the protagonist of our life. The key to directing a wonderful life drama is to our own practice.

Let us embark on the road of practice together, a path leading to the deepest part of human heart. At the end of this path, we can find a kind of wisdom that can allow us to understand the true meaning of life and enable our lives to achieve a perfect state full of joy.

When flowers bloom and bear fruit, it is Bodhi. If we can learn to understand life with a Buddha's heart, then in the world, you will slowly become a flower and your life will become happy!

And such insights are even more clear in the Buddha's words.

The state of liberation is not the exclusive patent of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but is an awareness that ordinary people can experience personally. The troubles of sentient beings come from not being able to recognize their own values, not seeing their own state clearly, but being greedy for fictional worldly goals, so their senses are distorted and confused.

It is important to know: time takes the present moment, space takes the body. Practice is to cultivate the mind, and cultivating the mind is to cultivate feelings. Turning illusions into righteous enlightenment means turning consciousness into wisdom.

Our spirit and senses can be upgraded through experience and practice. After upgrading and correction, what we know and feel will become more and more correct. Just like the Hubble Telescope can also be adjusted through technical adjustments to make the photos taken from blur to clear.

Our incarnation is only different from the incarnation of Buddha;

Our reward body and the Buddha's reward body are only different from the perception;

Our Dharma body is no different from the Dharma body of the Buddha.

The Buddha said: "All sentient beings possess the wisdom and virtues of the Tathagata." The Buddha meant: You and I are fully possess the perfect wisdom and virtues of the Tathagata at this moment.

Those who have the best faith in the Buddha’s teachings are the best skills; those who have the same faith are the same skills; those who have the same faith are the same skills; those who have the same skills are the same skills; those who have no faith are the same skills.

The practice of the Great Perfection, Mahamudra, Mahamudra, and Mind Method is to embrace all people, things, things with an open mind. The dual distinctions such as right and wrong, right and wrong, good and bad, good and evil are the roots of troubles and anger, and are the internal factors that deviate from Zen. Therefore, while following the existing system of society, we must completely tolerate and transcend it in our hearts. Therefore, the original peace, nature, harmony, compassion and love are revealed! If the heart is pure, the country is pure, the world is peaceful, and the heart is tolerate the world is perfect!

I can't satisfy everyone, but I can satisfy everyone! This is the secret of practicing the Great Perfection Tantra! I can't satisfy everyone at all; I can't satisfy everyone, and even all people, things!

The connotation of mind cultivation is: do not try to abandon or change those relative states of existence, but should understand his true nature, realize his perfection, and enjoy his gifts and dedication.

Zen is a kind of view, that is, everything is the manifestation of the Buddha's surname, including you and me; Zen is a state, that everything is inherently bright, including the present moment; Zen is a feeling, that is happiness from the inside out, including the present moment; Zen is actually a kind of awakening, enlightenment of the Buddha's surname, through, integrating, manifesting, and producing you and me, of course, whether awakened or not!

The practice of Buddhism will gradually turn from the ecstasy and surprise of the initial awakening to compassion and peace, but it will have a little more Prajna and insight! Only then will you truly recite "Namo Amitabha" honestly!

It should be reminded that when encountering a special Buddhist teaching, opportunities are very rare. We often say that blessings are good health, wealth, career success, etc., but this is not a blessing. Even if it is a blessing, it is a trivial blessing. True blessings are the ability to come into contact with Buddhism, and have a little understanding and understanding. Therefore, it is very important for us to cherish, listen, think and practice.

Progress comes from meditation and diligent practice. If you don’t work hard, you will never make progress. We will always be ordinary people. Every note of the song of liberation must be written by ourselves.

"Zongjinglu" (Master Yongming Yanshou, the Sixth Patriarch of the Pure Land Sect):
