Master Hongyi, born rich and talented, but shaved the legend of a monk. In the first half of his life, he refined his heart in the red dust;In the second half of his life, he left the world and converted to Buddhism.
After becoming a monk, he devoted himself to the cultivation of Buddhism, focusing on inner cultivation and practice. His various insights into life are written in the book "Nothing Can Be Put Down".
When you can't figure it out, can't get by, and are unhappy, read these 5 sentences in the book, and you will suddenly open up and feel the washing of the soul and**.
1. Never expect a person who is not related by blood to be able to stand in your perspective and consider problems for you, because even if you are related by blood, you may not be able to count on it.
Expecting others to fully understand our feelings and circumstances, especially if we are not related by blood, is actually a luxury, and even our loved ones may not be able to put themselves in our shoes and consider problems for us for various reasons.
Interpersonal relationships are complex and diverse, and all our sufferings essentially stem from ignorance of human nature and undue expectations of others.
Maturity begins with accepting that you are not understood.
2. Whatever you want to control, in fact, controls you. When you don't want anything, the heavens and the earth are yours.
A lot of people's troubles come from the fact that you want to control everything, but the truth is that all this is out of your control. Your husband doesn't love you, your children are disobedient, your career hasn't improved, and you've done your best, but you find that life is still not as good as you should be.
The more you look forward to something, the more it becomes your torment;You have no control over anyone, and you are in prison of disappointment.
Let yourself go, control is better than reconciliation, and what you can't get is fate. If you are angry and your body is exhausted, life will only give you a heavier blow.
If people are not burdened by obsessions, they can break free from the shackles and gain true freedom of the mind.
3. Don't be afraid of losing, what you lose does not belong to you in the first place;Don't be afraid of hurt, what can hurt you is your calamity.
Loss and hurt are inevitable parts of life. However, we must not shy away from life's encounters for fear of loss and injury.
Holding the mentality of accepting everything, learning from experience and lessons, and moving forward firmly, is the strongest thing we can do with life.
Through the deepest night, you will usher in a new and stronger self.
4. You think it's a pity to miss it, but in fact, you may have escaped a catastrophe;Don't be greedy, you can't have everything;Don't be discouraged, you can't have nothing. It is better to be willing than to be willing to do what you want. It is better to have peace of mind than to get what you get.
Gains and losses are the normal state of life, and our attitude towards gains and losses determines our mentality and quality of life. If we are always seeking more and dwelling on what we have lost, then we will fall into regret and loss, and our hearts will never be at peace.
The transparency of adults is half forgotten and half forgotten.
Ji Xianlin said in "Life at Ease": "If you can't 'forget', or if you don't have the instinct of 'forgetting', then the pain will always be fresh and vivid, and it will always torture you as cruelly as at the beginning." ”
Life is not easy, for those things that cannot be controlled, instead of embarrassing yourself, it is better to choose to let go.
5. "The person you love the most in this life is the person who loved you the most in your previous life, all of them come to 'debts', you have to pay them back, you have to pay them cleanly, and if you leave, you have to pay it off, even if the fault is someone else's, the karma is your own." I didn't owe it in the previous life, I don't see it in this life, if we meet, we will definitely owe it.
When people meet, sometimes they can only be explained by fate. No matter who you meet, he is the person who should appear in your life, and he is either your love or your debt.
Dong Qing once said: "In a sense, everything in the world is an encounter. Like, when cold meets warm, there is rain;Spring meets winter, there are years;Heaven meets earth, and there is eternity;Man meets man and has life. ”
Every laugh is a gain;Every time I cry, it's an experience. After paying off each other's love and debts, life enters silence and eternity.
As Venerable Hongyi said, in life, there is nothing that cannot be let go.
People live a lifetime, and they can't bring anything with them, and they can't take anything with them. Life is a process, and everything in the process is a harvest;All regrets are spiritual practice. It is precisely because of this that the richness of life is composed, and the thickness of the soul is forged.
When Master Hongyi passed away, he left four words:Joy and sorrow.
These four words are the insights of his life, and they are also the last revelation he left to the world.
He used his life's experience to tell us: anyone's life must have sorrow and joy;There are gains and losses;There are regrets, there is warmth.
These intricacies are intertwined to make up our unique life.
It is recommended to read Master Hongyi's "Life is Nothing to Let Go", this book is full of wisdom and insight into life, when you can't figure it out, can't see through, can't get by, read it, and you will usher in the vast sky.
