I don't know if it's a pity for such a good-looking woman to become a nun
I'm 32 years old, my name is Hui Ming, and I'm a native of the South. Although my family is not wealthy, it is full of warmth and love. With kind and harmonious parents and a lovely younger brother, our family lives a simple and happy life.
I have always been a proud member of my family. Ever since I was a child, I have been a top student in my school and loved by my teachers and classmates. After graduating, I successfully entered a well-known company and became the breadwinner of my family. The job is stable, the income is good, and everything looks good.
But in the eyes of the world, something seems to be missing from my life. Walking down the street, there are always people who look at me with envy, and they think that I deserve a perfect love and family. I used to think so until I came across the Dharma.
Two years ago, my colleague and I went to a local temple on a weekend. There, for the first time, I heard the chanting of Buddhist scriptures and saw the meditation of the monks. At that moment, I felt a sense of tranquility and harmony that I had never felt before, as if all my worries had dissipated in the sound of Buddha.
From then on, I began to study Buddhist culture and gradually grasped the wisdom and philosophy of Buddhism. I discovered that peace of mind and true happiness are exactly what Buddhism teaches. So, I made an unexpected decision to become a nun.
Yes, I gave up worldly "happiness" and chose a path full of challenges. My friends and relatives couldn't understand my choice and thought I was being deluded by the Dharma. But I know that this is the true pursuit of my heart.
Life after becoming a monk was not as easy as I thought it would be. Wake up early every day to recite sutras, do morning classes, clean temples, and farm ......But whenever I hear the morning bell and the dusk drum and feel the peace of mind, I feel that everything is worth it.
On this path, I have also encountered setbacks and difficulties. Sometimes I feel homesick and miss my parents and younger brother; Sometimes I question my choices; Sometimes I feel lonely and helpless. But whenever I am faced with difficulties, I am reminded of the Buddha's teaching: "Everything is arranged for the best." ”
Gradually, I became calmer and more calm. No more worrying about trivial matters, no more bothering about fame and fortune. I learned true happiness – peace and tranquility of the heart. It all comes from my belief and persistence in the Dharma.
Looking back, I have no regrets about the choice I made. I am convinced that the trajectory I have chosen in life is the right one to pursue. Although I gave up the prosperity and fame and fortune, I found contentment and peace in my heart. I knew the happiness that my heart longed for, and it had nothing to do with the world's eyes.
I would like to say to those who are still wandering in the midst of being lost: don't let worldly ideas sway you, and don't be bothered by fame and fortune. To pursue the calling of the heart, to find true happiness and fulfillment. Life is short, don't let yourself be bound by the expectations of others. Boldly pursue your dreams and beliefs, and let life bloom in the most beautiful colors.
