There is a dialogue in the TV series " Hundred Years of Xuyun ", which is quite Zen. We learn together, understand each other, and do things diligently.

One day, the young Xuyun pushed a cart of firewood from the bottom of the mountain to the temple on the mountain. When he was panting, he walked the cart to climb the hill, and met his place sitting on the side of the road to rest, and placed his legs horizontally in the middle of the road, blocking Xuyun's road to the mountain. Xuyun put his hands together and respectfully said: Please ask the master to close his legs. In order to test Xuyun's cultivation, the master said: You can stretch but not bend. Xu Yun instantly understood what the master meant, and pushed the cart over the master's leg. The master shouted, and Xu Yun left a sentence: You can advance but not retreat.

The truth behind the master's test may be whether you have any appearance in your eyes. The legs are in the middle of the road. Crushing over is a kind of harm to others; if you don't pass, your discrimination will arise in your heart. There are many kinds of ties on the road to the right path. Do you have the determination and confidence to overcome it?

Master Xuyun abandoned the reality in front of him and the virtual phenomena in his heart, pushed the cart on the road, overcame the difficulty of the reality in his eyes, and even overcame the false thoughts of the virtual phenomena in his heart (worrying that his legs are broken, worrying that the master is in trouble, etc.). I am following the right path. Someone intentionally blocked my right path, so I must overcome it without distraction.

In real life, when facing specific events such as "can stretch but not bend" and "can advance but not retreat", we often choose the wrong actions and finally get a wrong result.

In some companies' teams, team leaders may be selfish, short-sighted, and vengeful. At this time, other members of the team may abandon the truth of their work in order to protect themselves and survive. Only the leaders instructed them to keep their immediate interests in the end, but in fact, over time, they formed bad habits and threw themselves into the abyss.

As the epidemic continues to change, some industries and some companies have suffered huge blows and undergone tremendous changes. Industry practitioners still mingle with their original ideas, opinions, experience and knowledge in the old industries. I hope that after the epidemic is over, the industry will have a second spring. Little do you know that you think you are holding a towering tree, but in fact you are already full of holes and are in danger. The habit of our personality that we only want to advance and not retreat makes us feel pain when the truth comes.

Why can ordinary people only stay in their comfort zone and live a life of resignation? Because they knew that some roads were the right path, but they were too difficult, they gave up. Living in the repetition day after day, doing whimsical thoughts, the pie falling from the sky will inevitably hit my dream of spring and autumn. Finally, I suddenly looked back and realized that my life was so boring, but it was too late and time was gone.

Where is the road? The road is at your feet, and you act on the right path. If you are in the evil path for too long, then run and improve vigorously. Just work hard, and leave the rest to the Tao. Work hard for one, one can give birth to two, two can give birth to three, and finally all things are all.

It is actually flexible to be able to advance but not retreat. If a pregnant woman lies in the middle of the road, Master Xuyun will definitely throw away the cart of firewood to save people. Saving people is the way. If a robber stands in the middle of the road and blocks the road and robs, Master Xuyun should face the danger and move forward all the way, not avoiding difficulties or killing his life because of recklessness.
