Many people have lived most of their lives and know a lot of experiences, but they still can't live this life, which is a very heart-wrenching reality.
Why is that? A large part of the reason is that many people live in roles that are defined by themselves and others. Life is like a play, and most people act and finally enter the play too deeply and become a role in the script. When others think you're a master, you really think you're a master. When others think you're a success, you really think you're successful. When others think you're a failure, you really think you're a failure. When others think you're a nobody, you really think you'll always be a nobody. When others think you can't get up, you really think you can't get up. People think you're amazing, you really think you're amazing. Traditional education tells you that hard work can get rich, and you really think that hard work can get rich, but in fact, hard work is not the decisive factor in getting rich. The old people, I have told you since I was a child to be an upright and kind person, but many honest and kind people in this world have been beaten and suppressed. Religious masters, tell you bitterly that good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, good and evil have their own cause and effect, in fact, in this world, "evil" has good retribution, and "good" gets evil retribution. Did what you think of as good and evil cause and effect really change your life? Many rich people tell you that changing your cognition, pattern, and realm can change your life, in fact, there are too many poor people with high cognition in this world. Confucius's student, the highest realm pattern is Yan Hui, but he drank a scoop of food in the alleys, but instead cultivated as an ordinary Zigong and became a wealthy businessman, why is this? Many people in the cultivation circle tell you to be altruistic, and I met a senior brother around me, who usually helps the people around him for free like a living Lei Feng, but as a result, he is poor. Do you think it's altruism? There are many things in heaven and earth, and the vast majority of people see superficial appearances, without using life to experience, to verify, to live in what you think, he thinks, I think, is this defined life really getting better and better? Tell me about a metaphysical incident that happened to me.
Once I went to a temple to do something, because I had a good relationship with the host of this temple, so I went to help out more, and I called it a volunteer. In the past, I was also influenced by "traditional education" and thought that volunteering would bring good fortune, and I was happy to be loyal to the temple to volunteer. Later, after some incidents, I rarely volunteered at the temple. When I arrived at the temple that day, at the place where I lived, a very large wasp from ** stopped on me. Because I usually like to study the Book of Changes and metaphysics, this phenomenon generally has some foreshadowing or enlightenment, which is called the Heavenly Hanging Image. Later, in the temple, I always felt that the energy field around me was not quite right, and I often encountered some-for-tat confrontations in personnel. What's more "mysterious" is that in a dream experience, I met a person on the mountain and scolded me, and I really met such a person in reality. At that time, my personality and energy state were very different from before, and those who used to know you thought that you were the way you used to be, and you should be the way you used to be.
When you change, they will feel unaccustomed to it, and their energy fields will not be in harmony with each other, and this kind of personnel situation will appear in the real world. The sharper your perception and the more carefully you observe, there are actually signs before things happen, or the heavens will give you a revelation. Sometimes, you will blame yourself, feel that it is not your own problem, you will complain, is it someone else's problem, in fact, anything happens, there are advantages and disadvantages, it depends on what you think?! In essence, all the human circumstances of the phenomenal world are the manifestation of the intertwining of energy fields! The whole world is in the transformation of mental objects. Mental consciousness influences the environmental world, and the environmental world in turn affects mental awareness. Your life is created by you, and your role is also created by you. The key is that:Are you influencing the environment, or are you being influenced by the environment!
Are you defined by others, or do you take the initiative to create! There is a sentence in the "Diamond Sutra": All things have a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such.
Are dreams real? Is it illusory? Is that experience real, is acting real? Fake, fake? The play is also real!
One will be true and one will be false, one will be true and one will be false, aren't you pretending to be false and contradicting yourself? Where there is a spear, there is a shield, and where does a shield come from without a spear! The Buddhist scriptures say: The Buddha is the truth, the truth, and the truth, but in the end, his old man "tricked the mysterious" and completely denied it, and did not say a word! If yes, if yes! That's it, that's it. If you understand, you will understand, and if you don't understand, continue to chant the scriptures. Many cultivators recite the scriptures every day, and the rolling melons on their backs are ripe, but they still don't know the deep meaning of the scriptures. What is the use of reciting sutras without making a difference to one's own life? The scriptures are spoken by these saints, you have not used the wisdom of the scriptures on your own body to change the state of your life, the scriptures are the scriptures, you are you, and it has nothing to do with you, what is the "Diamond Sutra" to recite?
The Diamond Sutra says: All appearances are false. If you see things that are not like each other, you will see them as they are. Why do you want to recite the sutras? You say, if you don't chant the scriptures, you will learn from Jigong's wine and meat through the intestines. Then you are wrong again, why do you stubbornly do not recite the scriptures, drink wine and eat meat? What is true chanting? Is the Diamond Sutra part of your life?
Do you think that by reciting the Diamond Sutra, you will be able to get rich, and you will be blessed with boundless blessings and good luck?
That's it. That's it, the leaves in the flowers don't stick to the body!
