In ancient times, there was a small remote village where a young scholar named Zixuan lived. He was intelligent, studious, and mild-mannered, and was deeply loved by the villagers. However, Zi Xuan has a wish, that is, to be able to meet a real immortal, so as to get guidance, so that he can gain fame and glory on the lintel.
One day, Zixuan learns that there is an ancient temple on the mountain, which enshrines a mysterious immortal. Legend has it that on the night of the full moon, the immortals would appear and bless those who sincerely sought guidance. Zixuan decided to go to the temple on the next full moon night.
When the full moon night came, Zixuan, with a pious heart, set out on the mountain road to the temple alone. After a long trek, he finally reached his destination. The temple is quaint and secluded, and it looks particularly mysterious in the moonlight. Zi Xuan knelt in front of the temple and prayed sincerely, hoping that the immortals would appear.
At this moment, a soft light came out of the temple, and an old man with fairy wind and bones slowly walked out. The old man's eyes revealed compassion and wisdom, and Zixuan immediately knelt on the ground, begging the old man for advice.
The immortal smiled and nodded, and said to Zixuan, "Young man, I have felt your sincerity. However, true wisdom does not come from the outside world, but is discovered and perceived within one's own heart. I can give you a chance, you can ask a question and I will give you the answer. ”
Zi Xuan was pleasantly surprised, he thought for a while, and then asked, "May I ask the immortals, what is the greatest happiness in life?" This question had been bothering him for a long time, and he was eager for an answer.
The immortal smiled and said, "The greatest happiness is contentment. When you are content with what you have and are grateful for the little things in life, you will find that happiness is all around you. Not all pursuits can be satisfied, but being able to appreciate and cherish every moment is true happiness. ”
After hearing this, Zi Xuan suddenly realized, he thanked the immortals for their guidance, and deeply remembered it. Since then, Zixuan no longer blindly pursues fame and fortune, but has begun to pay attention to his inner world and learned to be content and happy. His character has become more peaceful, full of gratitude and appreciation for life.
With the passage of time, Zixuan's wisdom and virtue became more and more respected by people. Although he did not gain fame, he became a true wise man in the village, influencing the people around him with his actions and words, so that they also learned to be content and grateful. The story of Zixuan spread throughout the village and became a beautiful legend.
The story tells us that true happiness does not lie in external achievements and material possessions, but in inner satisfaction and gratitude for life. Through the revelation of the immortals, Zixuan understood that happiness is actually very simple, it is a state of mind, and it is the wisdom of contentment and happiness. He began to cherish everything around him, whether it was sunrise and sunset, or gentle wind and drizzle, it made him feel extremely happy and satisfied.
Zixuan's changes are also slowly affecting the people around him. He often shares his insights with the villagers, telling them how to find the source of happiness in ordinary life. His words are simple but profound, and many people have begun to reflect on their attitude towards life and learn to appreciate and be grateful.
Year after year, Zixuan's story has been sung by more people, and his words of wisdom have become a guide to many people's hearts. And that ancient temple also became a pilgrimage site for the wisdom of seeking inner peace and happiness. People come here not only to pray to the immortals, but also to learn from Zixuan how to find inner peace and happiness in the chaotic world.
Although Zixuan has never traveled far, his story and wisdom have traveled to every corner of the world. He used his life to prove that happiness is not determined by external conditions, but by an internal state of mind. Through contentment, everyone can find the light of happiness in their own lives.
