Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
In life, we will always meet some people that we don't like or look down on, at this time, how should we deal with it?The famous Master Hongyi once said, "If you hate someone, there is no need to turn your face." "Why is that?Let's work together.
This sentence of Venerable Hongyi is actually telling us that we don't need to conflict with people we don't like, because it will only fill our lives with negative energy. So, why is this happening?
First of all, when we choose to turn our faces because we hate someone, we are actually wasting our energy. Our lives should be full of positive energy, and we should focus our energy on people and things we like, rather than wasting on people we hate.
Second, flipping the other cheek doesn't solve the problem, it can make it worse. When we choose to turn our faces because we hate someone, it can lead to a bigger conflict and complicate matters. And if we can be at peace with people we don't like, we may find a better way to solve the problem.
In the end, if you hate someone, there is no need to turn your face, in fact, it is a kind of protection for yourself. When we choose to turn the other cheek, we may do something that we regret because of our emotional excitement, and if we can stay calm, we can avoid it.
So, how can you do it to hate someone, but not turn your face?Venerable Hongyi gave us some inspiration.
First of all, we need to learn to adjust our mindset. We can't change others, but we can change ourselves. When we are able to look at people we don't like with a peaceful mind, we can reduce the likelihood of conflict with them.
Second, we need to learn to respect others. Everyone has their own way of life and values, and we don't have the right to ask them to live our way. When we are able to respect them, we can reduce the likelihood of conflict with them.
Finally, we need to learn to let go. In life, there will always be things that dissatisfy us, but we can choose to let go. When we are able to let go of people we don't like, we can make our lives a lot easier.
In general, Venerable Hongyi's phrase "If you hate someone, there is no need to turn your face", it is telling us that we don't need to conflict with people we don't like, because it will only fill our lives with negative energy. We should learn to adjust our mindset, respect others, let go of people we don't like, and make our lives easier.
