In life, confusion is a lifelong thing, and enlightenment is a momentary thing. When I was just admitted to university, I met a monk in Taipei by chance for the first time.
He touched my head and said a word, and I pounced!He knelt down with a bang. The tears flowed down, and I couldn't stop it, and in an instant, I figured out a lot of things.
When I was a freshman, I had a junior who shared the dormitory. One day he said to me, "Hey, junior brother, I'll take you to listen to a teacher talk about the Dharma." As soon as I heard it, I said that I didn't listen to it, and that Buddhism is something that the old man listened to.
At that time, he thought this way, and he said, "This master is very good." He invited me three times, but I didn't go. But then it's me why did I go?Actually, I had some emotional setbacks.
It was at that time that I had been a girlfriend for a few years, and we both wanted to talk about breaking up, and we both felt that we were not suitable for each other. However, after so many years of relationship, you said that you would suddenly be so separated.
There must be something uncomfortable and depressing in my heart. Later, when my senior invited me for the fourth time, I wanted me to listen to it.
And the first time I listened, I didn't hear anything. Because the first time I listened to the Heart Sutra, I couldn't understand it: What is the color is not different from emptiness?Emptiness is not different color, what is color is emptiness?Empty is color
Doesn't that mean, let's not be too?If your girlfriend wants to break up, break up quickly. At that time, I couldn't be stupid, but I listened to me with feelings.
I mean: eh!This stuff is kind of interesting. I went and listened a second time, a third time. However, in this period of time, I still haven't handled my girlfriend's relationship well.
On the contrary, the more you deal with it, the more you feel like a puddle of mud, stuck in a mire, and you can't get out. Later, when it came to the last episode of the master's talk, this Heart Sutra, something happened that I will never forget for the rest of my life.
* After preaching this sutra, it is time to dismiss the meeting. At that time, there were not many people, only about 20. Then I'm leaving, and we'll thank the master.
Then the master said to me, "Young man, wait a minute, I'll talk to you about it." The master took the initiative to find me, hey!I said what is the master looking for me to do?We respect our master very much. He asked me a question.
He said, "Why are you here?"I didn't say it very clearly, saying that it was because of my girlfriend. I'll just talk about it casually, and I say: because I like to listen to **. You're talking about something.
When I was done, he put his hand on it. I put it on top of my head and put it lightly. I found that the monks really have energy. And he touched my head and spoke.
He said, "You are very close to me." As soon as I finished saying this, I pounced for some reason!He knelt down with a bang. And then it started wow!I couldn't stop the tears at all.
As a result, in an instant, I figured it out inexplicably, not only about this girlfriend, but also about many things I figured out. Many people say: Young people don't know the taste of sorrow, and they are worried about giving new words.
It seems that all of a sudden, I feel that I have figured out the next ten or twenty years of my life. Let's compare it like this, it turns out that this 19-year-old boy, this cup is my heart. The water in it is muddy.
I don't understand a lot of things, so I'm confused. As a result, I pounced!After kneeling down. The moment the tears flowed so well, I felt that the water in my cup seemed to pass through a super water purifier.
I was purified of that feeling all at once. Since then, I have been inexplicably interested in the study of Zen. No one said to encourage me, to motivate me.
So, from this day on, I officially entered the Rinzai sect. It became a Zen sect of the Rinzai sect**. I have been studying Zen for more than 30 years.
In terms of this gain in my life. It's really a billion, and I can't buy this kind of value to me. You see, when I was in my twenties, I was making millions of dollars.
In terms of real estate in Taipei City at that time, I could really buy half of the street. It didn't last long, I did it for more than two years, and then. I quit this job.
Because, I made more money in the first place. Second, at that time, it was really hard to do this kind of work, working day and night. I only sleep an average of four hours a day, every day.
It made people's hearts a little distorted at that time. Then I quit, and then I went to the United States to study psychology. After you come back, you have been studying for two years, and you have money.
Then, after a little bit of psychology and a master's degree, I started to invest. The result took less than 18 months.
I lost millions of dollars, including my villa, including my good car, and sold it out. Then I went to South Africa to hide from the debt, because I couldn't afford it.
I also borrowed from loan sharks, and if you think about it, who are the loan sharks?So don't feel that what is called virtue is not matched, there will be disaster.
Just because I'm penniless and debt-ridden South Africa. That's going to have to make a comeback, and I can't be rotten at the bottom for the rest of my life. In the first two years, I did what I paid for.
Oh, I realized that when a person is unlucky, what is called drinking cold water will stuff his teeth. In the past two years, if I do something, I will be robbed by others, or I will be deceived by others.
It's rare to make some money, and people can write a check, and then they can't cash it. Wow!No matter how hard you try and rack your brains, you can't help it. Turn over.
Afterward. I was depressed, and at that time I felt that I was a waste, and I felt that all the books I read were useless. I feel that all the abilities in me are meaningless.
However, fortunately, because I am a Zen Buddhist, my ** is the high monk back then. I called ** to the master, and I asked the master, and I said: Why am I so unlucky, why do I do something, God doesn't give me good fruit to eat.
The master said something to me, and he said, "Because you are not blessed enough, he made an analogy with me, and he said, "Life, is like a glass of water." When everyone comes into this world.
In fact, there are holes in his head, so this cup is a cup of your blessing, when some people come, the cup they bring is so small, and some people come to this world with a pot of blessing.
There are people who come into this world, and their blessings are like a big pond, a big pool, a big reservoir. But all of them have leaks. When will it leak?
For example, when we are greedy, angry, stupid, slow, and suspicious, we will leak. We leak when we are jealous, when we live luxuries, when we have resentment, we leak.
In fact, when we generate negative energy, we are consuming our blessings. Of course, the harm consumes the most. Then some people's cups are so small, which means that they have less blessings when they come.
Forget about the small, you hurry up and add more to it, what is the addition?What is added is called blessing. Then you have additions, there are leaks, at least it can be maintained. It's that you're still a blessed person as a whole.
Of course, your cup is still so small. So I asked him: So what should I do?He said, "Since your cup is now small, what will you do?"You're going to have a big vat to change it.
You will be blessed, and if you are blessed, won't it be smooth?It's not just a good luck. No, the nobles came. So I said, how do I go about changing the vat?
He said, "First of all, the first thing is, it doesn't matter if the cup is small now, you have to keep pouring blessings into it, and when this blessing is full, it keeps overflowing.
God will find out, oh!It turns out that the cup of Winning is not enough, and God will change you to a large container. What does this container refer to?It is the pattern and mind of people.
Then, I asked the master, and I said, "Master, what should I do now?"What kind of business am I doing?The master said a word to me.
He said: Victory, you remember that in this world, the best commodity is called altruism. The best business model is called freedom from suffering and happiness. When I heard that, I felt like I had been struck by lightning.
I suddenly realized: In fact, a person who really understands how to manage his life is not to run his own life at all, but to help others and manage other people's lives well.
What did I start doing next?I go around giving free speeches to others, helping people for free, all kinds of psychological problems, depression, anxiety, couples wanting to divorce, etc.
I don't even take any money. This is called making good connections and constantly giving. As a result, how did I make a comeback in the end. I helped a big brother from Taiwan.
He's very, very rich, but he's not inconspicuous, he's very low-key, he doesn't tell you, you don't even know how much money he has, that's more than 100 small goals.
But when he was in South Africa, he had a very severe depression, and through my skills, I helped him to get out of the pain of depression, and I didn't charge him a dime.
Later, he was very grateful to me. One day when he was eating, he said to me: Zhisheng, you are a good person, your current life, although it is not going well.
But I think it's a good thing for you, it's time for you to turn over, and since you helped me, I want to help you. So this life is really amazing.
Between people, there is really the influence of energy field. Moreover, I am absolutely convinced that a person with high-dimensional wisdom energy is not necessarily a monk.
He may be a peasant uncle, a person with no education, he is by your side, he can not say a few words to you, he will not have a long talk with you.
However, his words can wake you up. Ten years, twenty years, or even your whole life of pain and stupidity. This kind of person, I met many people one after another.
They are all mentors in my life, so I think that life really needs to have a good teacher, and in a person's life, there needs to be a higher dimension of wisdom than us.
People with higher dimensional energies, higher dimensional knowledge, come as our life teachers.
Summary: The authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear, a sentence can change a person, a teacher, and can change the trajectory of our lives.
