Seeing through things without telling them in life is not a matter of worldliness, but a kind of wisdom in life.
tells a story, and our understanding of this sentence will be deeper.
There was a homeless man who walked into the temple and saw the Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus platform worshiping everyone. He was very envious.
Tramp: Can I trade with you?
Bodhisattva: As long as you don’t speak.
The homeless man sat on the lotus platform. His eyes were noisy and chaotic all day long, with many requesters. He never spoke.
One day, a rich man came to the temple.
The rich man knelt in front of the Buddha with his hands clasped and said: I ask the Bodhisattva to grant me virtue.
kowtowed and dropped his wallet on the ground when he stood up. When the tramp was about to speak to remind the rich man, he remembered the Bodhisattva's words and did not speak.
After the rich man left, a poor man came.
The poor man knelt before the Buddha and said: Please give me money. My wife is seriously ill and urgently needs money for treatment.
kowtowed, and when he stood up, he saw a wallet falling on the ground.
The poor man thought it was the Bodhisattva appearing, so he picked up his wallet and left.
The homeless man wanted to say that it was not a spiritual manifestation, but that it was something someone had thrown away; but he remembered the Bodhisattva's words and did not speak.
At this time, a fisherman came in.
The fisherman knelt in front of the Buddha and said: I ask the Bodhisattva to grant me safety. There will be no wind and waves when I go to sea this time.
kowtowed and stood up. Just as he was about to leave, he was grabbed by the rich man who came back to look for money.
The two started fighting over their wallets.
The rich man believed that the fishermen had picked up the wallet, but the fishermen felt that they had been wronged and could not tolerate it.
The tramp sitting on the lotus platform could no longer stand it. He shouted: "Stop!" and told them all the truth.
A dispute has been settled. Do you think this is correct?
The Bodhisattva said to the homeless man: You should be a homeless man. You think you are being fair, but because of this, the poor man did not get the life-saving money, lost his wife, and then committed suicide with his wife, leaving behind two children; the rich man also did not cultivate good virtue because of this, and soon after One day, a leg was broken in an accident; the fisherman could have missed this trip to sea due to entanglement, and escaped disaster, instead of catching up with the wind and waves and being buried at the bottom of the sea.
If you didn't speak, they would still be living a good life.
The homeless man left the temple silently...
Many things should be done as they should be. Wait for it to happen naturally and the results will be better. But when facing reality, who knows what the outcome of things should be?
1. "Seeing is believing" may not be credible.
Everything you see may not be the truth you understand. Give an example of primary school students during their school days. Diandian was accidentally touched by his deskmate. The deskmate apologized. Diandian responded to his deskmate that it was okay. But at this moment, the teacher, who had his back to the classmates, turned around and saw Diandian smiling and tilting his head. Wave your hands to your deskmate. Teacher
thinks that Diandian has disturbed her classmates and also affected other students' normal listening to the class. Therefore, after class, please go to the office and give me severe criticism. Then he told Diandian's mother about it. You can imagine the subsequent results of
.
Such things can be seen everywhere in our lives. If you don’t believe it, if you pay a little attention, it is not difficult to find that many misunderstandings are caused in this way.
"Seeing is believing" may not be trustworthy. You may "see" things, but you don't know the development of the things themselves.
I have heard it with my own ears and seen it with my own eyes. Our vipassana awareness is gradually degrading. We only believe in the information we ingest, without filtering or analyzing it, and send it directly to the self-awareness level.
makes remarks at will, lacking patience and skill and wisdom. How many people, especially in close relationships, are grudged or even resentful because of this.
The sad thing is that the person involved may not even know that he "saw it wrong" and uses this so-called fact and this "seeing is believing" basis to torture himself and hurt others.
Just like the teacher in the classroom, if you are a little patient and understand the situation after class, or if you can wait and see what happens at the time, a series of subsequent problems may not occur.
Take back your eyes and ears, mind your own business, and look inside yourself.
2. Waiting to see what happens is a kind of ability
The story of the homeless man seems to be a joke, but in fact it is an experience that most people have had.
It is difficult for outsiders to judge right from wrong when it comes to our common conflicts between husband and wife, simply because everything in this world is a cycle of cause and effect, and what can be seen with the naked eye does not represent the truth.
is like the 5G network, which uses signals invisible to the naked eye to send speech and make phone calls. An invisible grid greatly facilitates modern people's lives. Can you say that the invisible does not exist?
A harmonious couple must be two people who know how to tolerate each other. Home is a place for emotions, not a "battlefield" for reasoning. If your best friend complains to you about something unhappy at home, just be an obedient listener.
Not judging other people's family affairs arbitrarily is a kind of quality, and it is also a kind of ability.
"Quietness can produce wisdom" is easy to understand, but difficult to achieve.
Meditation is a good way to practice meditation. Only after it has been tested in practice will you know whether your "meditation" skills are in place.
When a friend is in "difficulty", he or she would like to resort to intrusiveness to show sincerity. However, good intentions may not always lead to good things, and sometimes the more help one makes, the more "busy" one becomes.
Tramp, if you do not participate in other people's lives, observe quietly, and wait patiently, you can not only sit firmly in the "Bodhisattva" position, but also allow all three people to return to their own life trajectories.
3. Let nature take its course, which is a kind of happiness.
Let nature take its course. It is the highest state that many people yearn for. But let me ask, how many people really let things go as they come?
When we meet and get to know each other that cannot be explained clearly, we will always use "let it happen" to summarize it. This rational word has been mystified by people and seems so incredible.
In fact, letting go is a state of mind. It means that you can always separate your inner self from the external environment, not be disturbed by people, things, and things, and do things with a beginning and an end, and you will have no worries after the end.
Parents often say that their children's growth depends on fate, but they become angry when their test scores are not satisfactory.
Let’s look at lovers again. When they are in love, there is infinite beauty, but when they are separated, they are not calm. They hate and curse, and completely forget the original love. Encounter is a kind of fate, why is separation not a kind of fate?
Let’s think about it carefully, why is separation so painful?
I was abandoned, forgotten, and hurt, right?
feels aggrieved for himself, feeling aggrieved that he has not received the due reward for his efforts.
If you can persuade yourself to let nature take its course at this moment, happiness will be within easy reach.
It’s easy to say it, but it takes practice to actually do it.
Be a "stand-out" audience, sensible and sober.
Let nature take its course, not as an excuse for not getting it, or as a pessimism about not getting what you want, but as a mentality of not bearing the burden even if you know you can't do it.
Let nature take its course, which is a pattern and a kind of peace of mind.
