An old monk took a young monk who had just become a monk to beg for alms at the foot of the mountain. The young monk followed the master respectfully all the way. When they walked to a small river, they saw a girl worrying about the river. The girl was very beautiful and was wearing a very beautiful dress.

The girl wanted to go to the river, but she was afraid of getting her clothes dirty, so she stood by the river, not knowing what to do.

After learning the reason, the old monk decided to carry the girl across the river. When he reached the other side, the old monk put the girl down and continued on his way with the young monk.

But the little monk couldn't leave without peace of mind. He never understood. Did the master always warn his family members not to get close to women? Why can he carry the little girl across the river? ……

The little monk was confused along the way and couldn’t find the answer. It wasn’t until he walked more than 20 miles that the little monk finally couldn’t help it and asked: Master, didn’t you say that we monks should not be close to women? ? Why can you

carry that pretty girl across the river? The master told him: Actually, I put the girl down when I crossed the river, but you watched her walk more than twenty miles with your back...

People, the most difficult hurdle is the one you set for yourself. If you don't worry about yourself, others will never become your worry. Many people in life like to add a lot of heavy burdens to their lives, thus causing some unnecessary pain in their hearts.

Many times, good or bad, trouble or not all depend on one's thoughts. If you can't let go, you will have no choice but to let troubles entangle you; if you let go, you can gain peace of mind and detachment, and gain leisure, peace, and freedom.

In fact, people have to go through ups and downs before they can find that it is better to let go of many things, and it is futile to hold them tightly in their hands

. Thinking carefully about the decades of life, we come to this world naked and will eventually leave empty-handed. Everything in the world will eventually come to nothing. Fame, wealth, and flowers are just a flash in the pan. As long as you have no worries, you will see the free spring orioles singing, you will see the joyful springs singing, and you will see the beautiful flowers blooming!
