Venerable Hongyi said, "There are two kinds of people in the world who are rare, one is a wise and kind person, and the other is a noble and peaceful person. The calm mind is high, and the high one overlooks the world;The heart is benevolent, and the benevolent is tolerant of all things;Those who are wise are safe, and those who are safe are smiling at life. ”
Venerable Hongyi's words make us think about the value and meaning of life. He believes that it is rare for a wise and kind person to be a noble and peaceful person. This is because being smart doesn't mean everything, being kind is really wise;In the same way, nobility does not mean everything, and peace is true nobility.
Smart and kind-hearted people, they have superb wisdom and far-reaching vision, and can see the truth of the world, but they are not proud and complacent because of this, but are more humble and kind, using their wisdom to help others, and using their kindness to warm the world.
Noble and peaceful people, they have noble qualities and outstanding talents, and can stand on a high place and overlook the world, but they are not arrogant because of this, but are more peaceful and tolerant, using their tolerance to understand others and their wisdom to resolve contradictions.
The calm mind is high, and the high one overlooks the world;This is to tell us that only people who are calm and think calmly can stand on a high place and see the truth of the world clearly. And those who are impetuous, eager for quick success, are often confused by immediate interests and cannot see the essence of the world clearly.
The heart is benevolent, and the benevolent is tolerant of all things;This tells us that only people who are peaceful and tolerant can truly tolerate all things and understand others. And those who are narrow-minded and calculating, tend to get angry and complain about small things, and cannot get along with others.
Those who are wise are safe, and those who are safe are smiling at life. This is to tell us that only people who are wise and calm in their hearts can laugh at all kinds of challenges and difficulties in life. And those who lack wisdom and are blindly impulsive are often depressed and lost because of some setbacks, and cannot face life positively.
Therefore, we should strive to be wise and kind-hearted people, noble and peaceful people, quiet people who are high, people who are kind in heart, and people who are wise in heart. Only in this way can we truly understand the value and meaning of life and live our true selves.
