Su Dongpo A generation of literary masters, romantic, but also likes to make fun of people. He and his friend Foyin monk often make fun of each other, but often cannot take advantage of them. This made him quite dissatisfied and always wanted to find opportunities to tease, take revenge on the other party, and find face.

Once, Dongpo went to Jinshan Temple and Foyin Zen Master meditated and meditated. Su Dongpo felt his body and mind were unobstructed, so he asked the Zen Master: "Zen Master, how do you look at meditation?"

Foyin looked at Dongpo, nodded and praised, "It's very solemn, like a Buddha."

Dongpo was very happy. Foyin also asked Dongpo casually: "Bachelor, how do you look at my sitting posture?" Su Dongpo never missed the opportunity to mock the Zen master, so he teased: "It looks like a pile of feces!" Foyin heard this, but just smiled slightly and was not angry.

Su Dongpo went home satisfied, showed off the story to Su Xiaomei, and said proudly: "I finally beat Zen Master Foyin today!" Su Xiaomei said disapprovingly: "Brother, in fact, you lost today. The Zen Master's heart is pure and there is Buddha in his heart, so he sees you as a Buddha; and your heart is dirty, so he sees Zen Master as a dirt." Su Dongpo was stunned, and then suddenly realized that his realm was still too far away. Only then did I realize that my meditation was not as good as the Buddha's seal.

There is also a famous story that is similar to this.

Eastern Jin Xie An gathered his family together on a cold snowy day and talked about poetry and essays to his children and nephews. Suddenly the snow fell heavily and it was very urgent. Xie An said, "What's the difference between the white snow?"

nephew Xie Langyong said, "It's okay to sprinkle salt in the air." Xie An disagreed.

niece Xie Daoyuan said: "It's not like willow catkins rising because of the wind."

Xie An laughed and gave a thumbs up to his niece. Xie Daoyuan is the daughter of the eldest brother of Xie Taifu Xie Wuyi , and the wife of the left general Wang Ningzhi .

Xie Lang Ordinary people usually think of nothing more than oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Therefore, when he saw snow, he could only think of salt; although Xie Daoyuan is a woman, she has pearls and beautiful jade in her heart and has lofty ambitions; the level of the realm is different, and it will appear instantly!

In psychology, there is an interesting psychological phenomenon called projection.

refers to the process in which a person unconsciously reflects his or her own thoughts, attitudes, wishes, emotions, and personality into a psychological role of external things or others, that is, the process in which the individual's personality structure affects the way he or she perceives, organizes and interprets the environment.

Many times, we always think that what we see is objective, but in fact it is just a projection within yourself.

Psychological projection often leads to cognitive impairment , causing difficulties in interpersonal relationships, suspicion, resentment, and further deterioration and harm.

Each of us needs to constantly cultivate ourselves, beware of intentional or unintentional prejudice, get along with others, and be able to uphold a sincere, pure and fair heart at all times.
