Have you ever met such college classmates, they don't care too much about study, work, love and other things, they just want to live their little life quietly, they don't pursue fame and fortune, they don't complain about difficulties, they are the so-called Buddhist college students.

You are a college student, have you ever met such classmates, they feel hopeless about the future, they feel that they can't change the injustice of society, and they can't realize their dreams, they just want to give up everything, stop working hard, stop fighting, they are the so-called lying flat college students.

You're a college student, what do you think about these two phenomena?Do you support their choice, or are you against their attitude?Do you think they are a way of life, or an evasion of responsibility?Do you want to know what they really think, or do you want to change their misconceptions?

The purpose of this article is to help you understand Buddhism and lying flat, two common phenomena among college students today, analyze the social reasons and personal choices behind them, and give you some reasonable suggestions and inspirations, so that you can better face your college life and future social life.

First of all, we have to make it clear that Buddhism and lying flat are not the same concept, although they both show a kind of dissatisfaction and helplessness with reality, but their connotations and extensions are different.

Buddhism is a kind of attitude to life, it originates from some Buddhist thoughts, such as "casual fate", "non-attachment", "non-contention", etc., it emphasizes a peaceful, tolerant, comfortable state of mind, it is not negative, but detached, it is not to give up, but to accept, it is not to escape, but to face.

Lying flat is a way of life, it originates from some languages of the Internet, such as "996", "involution", "leek", etc., it emphasizes a kind of resistance, resistance, rebellion, it is negative, not detached, it is giving up, not accepting, it is evading, not confronting.

So, why are these two phenomena happening?We can analyze it on both a social and individual level.

From a social point of view, Buddhism and lying flat are both a reaction to reality, and they reflect some problems and contradictions in the current society, such as:

Competitive pressures. With the development and change of society, college students are facing more and more competitive pressure, whether it is studying, employment, entrepreneurship, or falling in love, getting married, and having children, they need to pay more efforts and costs, and often have little effect, which makes many college students feel frustrated and powerless.

Value confusion. With the pluralism and openness of society, college students are facing more and more value confusion, whether it is self-worth, social value, moral value, or life value, they need to be constantly explored and selected, and there are often no standards and answers, which makes many college students feel lost and confused.

Uneven resources. With the differentiation and differentiation of society, the uneven resources faced by college students are becoming more and more obvious, whether it is educational resources, employment resources, or social resources, cultural resources, there are different distribution and utilization, and often unfair and unreasonable, which makes many college students feel dissatisfied and angry.

From a personal point of view, Buddhism and lying flat are both a kind of self-choice, and they reflect some characteristics and psychology of current college students, such as:

Self-awareness. Buddhist and lying college students have different degrees of self-awareness, they know their strengths and weaknesses, they know their interests and hobbies, they know their goals and expectations, but their perception of themselves is often one-sided, extreme, and negative, rather than comprehensive, objective, and positive.

Self-regulating. Buddhist and lying college students have different degrees of self-regulation, they can make certain adjustments and changes according to their own emotions and states, and they can adapt and respond to them according to their own environment and conditions, but their self-regulation is often passive, arbitrary, and ineffective, rather than active, planned, and effective.

Self-realization. Buddhist and lying college students have different degrees of self-realization, they can achieve certain achievements and satisfaction through their own efforts and dedication, they can obtain a certain degree of recognition and respect through their own creation and contribution, but their realization of themselves is often low-standard, low-level, and low-quality, rather than high-standard, high-level, and high-quality.

To sum up, we can see that the two phenomena of Buddhism and lying flat have both social reasons and individual choices, and they are complex, multi-dimensional, and dynamic phenomena that cannot be simply generalized, nor can they simply be blindly approved or opposed.

So, how should we look at Buddhism and lying flat?What should we do with Buddhist and lying college students?How can we avoid or get rid of the predicament of Buddhahood and lying flat?

Here, I give you some reasonable advice and enlightenment, I hope it can be helpful to you.
