Life is like a reverse journey, all the way hard, all the way to the scenery. Everyone has their own realm of life, just like a high mountain, which we need to keep climbing.
The first realm: high-spirited
You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning. (Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine").
The high-spirited state of life is the most common state of young people. They are full of passion and fighting spirit, dare to challenge all difficulties, and move forward bravely.
The second realm: open-mindedness and detachment
Heaven and earth are a big dream, and life is cool several times. (Su Shi's "Nian Nujiao, Chibi Nostalgia").
The realm of open-minded and detached life is a realm after the vicissitudes of life. They have seen through everything in the world, they are no longer burdened by fame and fortune, their hearts are like water, and they are at ease.
The third realm: compassion
Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There was nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust. (Six Ancestors Hui Neng, "Six Ancestors Altar Sutra").
The state of life with compassion in mind is a state of practice after reaching a certain state. They have all the beings in the world in their hearts, they are universal, and they face everything in the world with an attitude of compassion.
The fourth realm: indifferent to fame and fortune
Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see the South Mountain. (Tao Yuanming's "Drinking: Part 5").
The life realm of indifference to fame and fortune is a state that is achieved after seeing through the nothingness of fame and fortune. They are not burdened by fame and fortune, they are content with the idyllic life, and live a simple and fulfilling life.
The fifth realm: quiet and inaction
The mind is calm and naturally cool. (Colloquialism).
The state of quiet and inactive life is a state that the soul reaches after it has reached peace. They are not disturbed by the world, their hearts are like water, and they are governed by inaction.
The Sixth Realm: Selflessness and Selflessness
Life is like the splendor of summer flowers, and death is like the quiet beauty of autumn leaves. (Anonymous).
The state of selfless and selfless life is a state of practice after reaching the highest level. They forget about themselves and selflessly give themselves to contribute to society.
The seventh realm: harmony and harmony
Heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me. (Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching).
The realm of harmony and unhindered life is a realm of integration with all things in heaven and earth. They have attained the state of unity between heaven and man, and are with the universe.
These seven realms of life are different stages of life development and different goals pursued in life. Everyone can choose the life realm that suits them according to their actual situation, continue to climb and grow.
