A saint is an enlightened person who sees his own nature. If the saint lived in today's society, how was his way of life different from that of ordinary people? Today, Mood Jun will lead everyone into the daily life of the saint and experience the unique lifestyle of the saint.
The biggest difference between a saint and an ordinary person is that a saint realizes his true nature through self-enlightenment. Since man's nature is in harmony with all things in heaven and earth and all things throughout the ages, once a person realizes his true nature, he understands everything. His mind is no longer confused and wandering, no longer seeking up and down, no longer suffering from gains and losses, no longer clinging to anything. At this time, his heart relaxes, and his heart is empty. He has nothing to pursue, he enjoys himself. As a result, no matter where he walks, sits, or lies down, no matter when or where he is, his heart is very full and satisfied.
Therefore, the saints are always very contented in their daily lives. Because of the saint's contentment, he does not worry about losing anything. He doesn't worry about his pension because he will grow old naturally. He doesn't bother to please others for a job that earns fame and fortune, and he neither pursues a stable life, nor does he hate the wandering life. He just likes to be quiet and self-contained.
The saint also had to eat, lodging, and dress every day, so the saint also needed to spend money every day. When the saint had no money in his pocket, he went to work according to his abilities and preferences to earn a little living expenses. When the saint had money in his pocket, he quit his job and slept until he woke up naturally. Or go out and travel, or wander around. In the sage's view, work is not something that must be done in life. Only as a last resort do saints go to work.
Since the saint has realized himself, there is nothing in his heart that he cannot let go of. So, saints like to leave themselves idle all day long. He didn't want to get bogged down in the complicated social affairs. He also didn't want to have anything to do with the laity in society. He just talks to his own heart, to his own nature. Therefore, the saint lived as he pleases every day after eating and has nothing to do. Sleep for a while when you're sleepy, sit down and rest for a while when you're tired, and walk around or travel far away when you feel bored in one place.
No matter how the saint walks, sits and sits, his mind is always in vipassana meditation, and his mind is always aware of his own nature, and he perceives the integration of all things in nature with himself. Therefore, the saint takes keeping his own pure heart as the core of his life. The laity, on the other hand, have satisfying their own desires as the core of their lives. This is the difference between the lifestyle of a saint and that of an ordinary layman.
