Master Hongyi said that obsession is to punish oneself, and to release oneself is to reconcile with oneselfI hope we are all really relieved, instead of secretly sad from everyone. If there is a solution to the dilemma, why be upset, and if the dilemma is not solved, why be depressed.
In the journey of life, we will always encounter various difficulties and challenges. In the face of these dilemmas, some people will choose to be obsessed, while others will choose to let go. Venerable Hongyi's words of wisdom remind us: "Obsession is to punish oneself, and letting go is to reconcile with oneself." In this article, we will delve into the connotation of obsession and release, and how to achieve inner peace and harmony through release.
First of all, obsession refers to excessive attachment to a certain idea, emotion, or experience. When we get caught up in obsessions, we tend to cause unnecessary pain and suffering to ourselves. This is because obsession often causes us to ignore reality and produce wrong perceptions and judgments about predicaments. Rather than helping to solve the problem, obsession can lead us deeper into trouble.
On the contrary, letting go is an attitude of letting go of attachments and reconciling with oneself. When we choose to let go, it means that we are willing to accept reality and acknowledge our limitations and predicaments. Letting go doesn't mean giving up on efforts or running away from problems, but rather facing life's challenges with a more open-minded and open mind. Through relief, we can reduce our inner pain and anxiety and thus better cope with difficult situations.
So, how can you really be relieved?First, we need to face up to reality and acknowledge the existence of a dilemma. Running away from or denying the dilemma will only make us more miserable. Only by being brave enough to face reality can we find a solution to our problems. Second, we need to cultivate our inner strength and learn to remain calm and firm in difficult situations. Through positive thinking and action, we can gradually break free from the shackles of obsession and make ourselves more free and powerful.
In addition, we can also promote relief by cultivating a tolerant and compassionate mindset. When we learn to tolerate our own imperfections and shortcomings, we are more likely to accept the shortcomings and mistakes of others. This kind of tolerance and compassion helps us to break the shackles of attachment and allow us to find true liberation in our hearts.
At the same time, we can also promote relief through positive actions. When a dilemma arises, we can take proactive steps to resolve the issue or relieve stress. For example, we can do physical exercise, develop hobbies, communicate with friends, etc. These actions can divert our attention and reduce inner pain and anxiety, thus helping us to better let go of our attachments.
Finally, we need to be clear: true relief is not to forget or ignore the existence of difficulties, but to truly accept reality and let go of obsessions deep down. When we truly reconcile with ourselves, our hearts will become calmer, more harmonious, and more beautiful.
In real life, we often encounter various dilemmas and challenges. Some people will choose to be obsessed and let themselves fall into pain and anxiety;Others, on the other hand, choose to let go and face life with a more open and open-minded mind. By facing reality squarely, cultivating inner strength, tolerance and compassion, and positive action, we can gradually break free from the shackles of attachment and allow ourselves to be truly liberated and free.
I hope that we can all truly be relieved in life, instead of secretly being sad from everyone. When we face adversity, let us face up to reality with courage, cultivate inner strength, tolerance and compassion, and positive action to face life's challenges with a more open-minded and open mind. In this way, we can truly reconcile with ourselves and allow us to have true peace and freedom in our hearts.
