People’s lives are spent fighting for fame and fortune, constantly pursuing and satisfying their desires. In this process, some people pursue fame and fortune, some people pursue power, and many people pursue all the desires in the world through the money and power they obtain. This is a normal life without any harshness. Of course, such pursuits have no realm at all, just animal instincts.
The realm mentioned here is not how much money you have. After becoming a billionaire, he said falsely, "I don't like money"!
is not that you are in a high position and say, "I have no desire for power."
This is not realm, it is hypocrisy, it is artificial.
The realm mentioned here requires a certain foundation, such as knowledge, wisdom, cultivation, enlightenment, etc.
If you lose all the halo of fame, fortune, power, etc., and people can still respect you as "Old Ma" or "Old Qian", then you will have the first level of life.
You have learned and understood that sentient beings are equal and have learned to respect each other. You also know that eating only three meals a day and sleeping only one place. Everything in the world is not brought by life or death. A handful of yellow earth is just a brocade box.
When you encounter something that makes you unhappy, or when you don’t agree with other people’s thoughts, although you want to say something in your heart, you can enlighten yourself and “smile and speak without saying anything”, and you will also have a certain level of life.
Of course, smiling without saying a word does not mean that you will completely let others’ wrong ideas and not correct them. It is just to give others enough face and will use other more appropriate methods to resolve this dispute.
When you face competitive, face unreasonable accusations, and face the remarks coming from seemingly unfathomable theorists and philosophers, you can respond calmly and not speak or fight, and you will reach the third level of life.
Of course, the premise is that your knowledge, cultivation, wisdom, and understanding of things should be far above others in order to reach this state.
Let’s briefly summarize the four levels of life realm :
The first level, all living beings are equal, you have learned to respect each other.
second level, smiling and silent.
third level, no competition.
The fourth level, Kongming. If you don’t even have the intention to fight, you will reach this state.
reaches the fourth level, life is just a process to you, and you will experience a feeling of no beginning or end.
achieves the supreme Bodhi.
