The most graceful scenery in life is the calmness and calmness of the heart.
I've seen such a little story.
A master pointed to a field overgrown with weeds in front of him and asked the little monk, "How can I keep it from growing grass?" ”
The little monk thought for a moment and replied, "Pull weeds every day." ”
The master smiled and shook his head, took out a handful of seeds, scattered them on the field, and then said slowly
The grass will grow again when it is pulled, and it will not be pulled out completely, and only by planting flowers in this field can this barren grassland be changed. ”
In this dojo of life, weeds are everywhere: maybe it is the attack and slander of others, or maybe it is the difficulty and impermanence ......of fate
The business of others, the business of God, to argue and confront will only lead to misery and futility.
The most powerful force in this world is not confrontation or conquest, but understanding and transcendence after allowing and accepting.
When you look at the injustices in the world with a calm heart, the soil of life will bloom into a brilliant sea of flowers.
As Mr. Yang Jiang said:
We used to yearn for the waves of fate so much, only to find out in the end that the most beautiful scenery in life is actually the calmness and calmness of the heart.
Allow, is a gesture.
In the era in which Yang Jiang lived, intellectuals often had to carry out ideological transformation, and they had to go through three stages: ideological mobilization, deliberation and discussion, and denunciation and accusation.
At a "brewing meeting", a female student complained loudly:
Mr. Yang Jikang (Yang Jiang) does not talk about workers in class, but talks about love. She taught us that when we are in love, we should not be able to eat and sleep. When you see your lover, your face should be pale and your legs weak.
Yang Jiang felt puzzled, because she didn't know the girl, and she didn't understand why she was spreading rumors like this.
But she wasn't annoyed, and she didn't vehemently argue for herself.
After calming down, she pretended it hadn't happened.
After freshening up the next day, she picked out a bright dress, went to work in good spirits, and specially picked a vegetable market with many people to visit.
Later, the rumors were self-defeating, and the students were impressed by her calmness, and more people took her classes.
Many years later, Yang Jiang recalled this incident and said:
Those who know me know anyway, and those who don't know are whatever they think. In life, grievances are always inevitable, although it is a humiliation, but it is a good tempering. ”
Zengguang Xianwen said: Whoever has no one behind him, who says that he doesn't talk about people behind him.
In life, there will always be all kinds of misunderstandings and incomprehensions.
In the face of unwarranted slander, the more you respond, the more energetic the other party will be.
Those who understand you don't have to explain, and those who don't don't have to explain.
Right and wrong are relieved by not arguing.
To allow ridicule is to let go of others' practice and to fulfill one's own wisdom.
In 2005, Yang Jiang's translation of Don Quixote caused controversy in academic circles.
A translator, Dong Yansheng, openly provoked Yang Jiang in an interview with **.
Yang Jiang's translation was accused of inaccurate words and sentences, and important plots were omitted, and it was 110,000 words less than his translation.
More bluntly: "I am now using it as a negative teaching material for translation classes to prevent students from making this mistake again." ”
As soon as this theory came out, there was an uproar.
Yang Jiang's friends were very angry and wanted to fight for her, but Yang Jiang lightly persuaded them to calm down their anger.
Later, he issued a statement in the "Wenhui Reading Weekly", thanking Mr. Dong for his guidance
Many disputes in the world are often based on misunderstandings. Mr. Dong can be my teacher, and the courage to point out mistakes is exactly the right trend in the translation industry. ”
In the face of some experts' gunpowder-filled rhetoric, Yang Jiang was never impatient and calm.
Later, everyone learned that Yang Jiang used the "annoying" translation method, which is more semantic and more concise and incisive.
Allowing controversy and making things difficult is not a confession, but self-confidence and strength from the heart.
Whether it's ridicule or misunderstanding, it's better to let it go.
Whatever the situation, just be yourself, because time will tell.
Acceptance is a kind of maturity.
Yang Jiang was born in a scholarly family, his father Yang Yin was the director of the High Procuratorate of Hangzhou Jingshi, and his mother was a famous intellectual woman.
But the good times didn't last long, and later his father was suspended for offending the powerful, and the glory of the past was gone.
But my father was not indignant and depressed because of the ups and downs of his circumstances.
On days when he didn't work, he read and wrote in the study, enjoying himself; No longer the meals of the past, he also ate coarse tea and light rice with relish.
Under the influence of his father, Yang Jiang also had a little more indifference.
In 1919, Yang's father resigned and returned to his hometown, ready to restart his career.
As soon as I got home, I contracted a severe wind chill, and I was so burned that I was talking nonsense, and even the doctor felt powerless to return to heaven and refused to prescribe medicine to save people.
The relatives who came to visit all sighed that heaven is impermanent and fate is ruthless.
Only Yang Jiang held back her sadness and secretly calculated in her heart: if her father really couldn't afford to get sick, she would immediately drop out of school and work in a factory to take on the burden of supporting the family.
Fortunately, my father was in the prime of life and pulled himself back from the hands of illness.
Later, when the war broke out, Yang Jiang's family fled for refuge.
After hiding in the east and still having nowhere to stay, he had to risk death and returned to his hometown.
But when I got home, I saw the ransacked house and the left-behind nurse who occupied the magpie's nest.
The former grand mansion has become dilapidated;
The antique furniture and elegant and exquisite crafts in the home are gone.
In just a few months, like heaven falling into hell, the changes in Songhai Sangtian are embarrassing.
When Yang Jiang saw this situation, he just sighed indifferently
The alternation of prosperity and decline, the gathering and dispersion of wealth, that is, in that instant, I can be regarded as seeing with my own eyes. ”
There is no way to come to good and evil, and the wind and clouds come unexpectedly.
In this world, there is no immutable fixed number, everything is changing.
One moment it's smooth, the next moment it may be embarrassing;
Friends who greeted each other with a smile last time may turn their faces and deny people next time.
Blindly lingering, it is difficult to let go, it is yourself who suffers, and it is yourself who hurts.
For the impermanent things in the world, seeing through is practice, and acceptance is wisdom.
This kind of acceptance is not to indulge in fate and let fate manipulate, but to know how to change mentality.
As Elsie Michael said, "When we stop rebelling against the inevitable, we can save energy and create a richer life." ”
Transcendence is a pattern.
After 1980, Yang Jiang's family's life gradually stabilized, and they made achievements in work and creation.
However, their physical condition has gone downhill.
Yang Jiang has coronary heart disease; Qian Zhongshu suffers from asthma and kidney disease; Qian Ying, lung cancer turned to spinal cancer, and it was at the terminal stage when it was discovered.
After Qian Zhongshu was hospitalized, Yang Jiang delivered food and soup to him every day, and later Qian Ying was also admitted to the hospital, and the three lived separately in three places, and Yang Jiang barely supported him.
After two years of lingering illness, Qian Ying and Qian Zhongshu died of illness one after another.
The death of a loved one was a huge blow to her, but she understood that "grief cannot be resisted".
She began translating the Phaedos from Plato's Dialogues.
In reading it over and over again, Socrates calmly talked about the topic of life and death before righteousness, ** her.
His belief in the immortality of his soul and his pursuit of moral concepts such as truth, goodness, beauty, and justice gave me the courage to live alone. ”
She set out to sort out the manuscripts and notes left by Qian Zhongshu.
Zhong Shu escaped, and I wanted to escape, but I couldn't escape at all, I had to stay in the world, clean up the scene, and do my duty. ”
In her busy and fulfilling life, she calmly cleans the battlefield on earth.
In the last 20 years of her life, she accounted for all the seven sufferings of Buddhism, the world's laughter, pain, loneliness, and quietness.
But she doesn't mourn herself, she doesn't pity herself.
Many people were worried that Yang Jiang would not be able to bear it and rushed over to visit her.
But when they grieved for Yang Jiang's tragic experience, Yang Jiang did not cry with him, and comforted them in turn:
I've survived, and you're still grieving? Isn't it a good thing that I will carry the burden of pain when I think deeply? ”
In the last moments of her life, she was able to accept her departure calmly.
She wrote in "Walking to the Edge of Life":
I knew very well that I was about to "go home". I have to wash away the filth of this hundred years and go home. I don't have the feeling of "climbing Mount Tai and the small world", I only live a peaceful life in my own small world.
For her, life is not joyful, and death is not sad.
In the face of suffering, there are three realms.
The first level is fear, the second level is fearlessness, and the third level is detachment.
I think Mr. Yang Jiang has reached the third layer, she has transcended suffering, and even transcended life and death.
In an interview when Yang Jiang was 100 years old, the reporter asked her that she had no complaints and no regrets, and the upward spirit came from **?
Yang Jiang replied: From faith.
Belief in culture, belief in truth, goodness and beauty, people have faith, and they will not collapse.
In "Me and the Altar of Earth", Shi Tiesheng once wrote "a wall".
Every time he rocked his wheelchair and tried to go somewhere, the wall would cut him off.
Sometimes he was so angry that he hit the wall, but the wall did not move, but his head was bleeding.
You see, destiny is impermanent, manpower is limited, and blind confrontation will only increase troubles.
When we are no longer attached to the road behind the wall, just let the arrangement of fate, fate brings us to the **, we go to experience and experience, you will find that there are beautiful scenery on all roads.
Give it a thumbs up and encourage your friends.
