I know that my six senses are not pure, so I naturally dare not approach the Buddha rashly. But in front of Guanyin, who is standing quietly with kind eyes and lowered eyebrows, I often feel an inexplicable feeling surges into my heart. It seems that in front of me is not Guanyin

She said on WeChat whether she would go to Guanyin Temple to sit? I am not a Buddhist, but when I have time, I like to sit outside the temple, listen to the chants of sutras from the red walls and yellow tiles, and silently watch all living beings with different visions walk past. I know that my six senses have not been purified, so I naturally dare not approach the Buddha rashly. But in front of Guanyin, who is standing quietly with kind eyes and lowered eyebrows, I often feel an inexplicable feeling surges into my heart. It seems that in front of me is not the Guanyin Bodhisattva , but someone who once gave you warmth in life, looking at you with infinite compassion: Are you okay now?

The Guanyin Temple she said was not too far from the book club, and it took only ten minutes to ride a bicycle. I have already prepared to chant the scriptures by then. She asked me if I would like to worship Buddha together? Maybe I haven't thought about what kind of faith to convert to, so after entering the temple, I usually don't kneel down or burn incense, but just express my respect with my eyes. She understood what I meant and signaled me to sit on the chair next to me and listened to her chanting, which was equivalent to me chanting the sutras in front of the Buddha. Her, such a Bodhisattva heart, touched me.

I saw her gently folded her palms, placed them on her chest, her eyes drooped, her eyes fixed on the fingertips, then pressed her right palm downwards in the center of the cushion, her left palm remained motionless, then she spread her knees and knelt on the cushion, respectfully after three prayers in front of the Buddha, she closed her glasses and began to chant the sutra. She chanted the "Eighty-Eight Buddhas Great Repentance". I have never read this sutra. I can only imagine the possible meaning of her murmuring in the sutra based on the core Buddhist doctrine " dependent origination and emptiness ". In the rhythm of Namo Amitabha , I feel her praise of Anuttara Samyaksambodhi.

I think that people who truly believe in faith are happy, because the mission of believers is on the other side, in the sky that mortals cannot reach, the burden of life is turned into a curling green smoke, and they are no longer greedy.

During my work in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau , I have visited many temples and have made connections with living Buddhas. The book club shelf is still enshrined with the "White Tara" wrapped in Hada and handed it to me. I have also seen countless believers sculpting prayer wheels through the prayer flag formation on the grassland. They have only one ultimate goal, which is to cultivate this life and seek the next life. I respect and understand Tibetan Buddhism very much. Perhaps it is the hope of the next life that allows them to survive on the environment and the harsh Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is the direction, goal and meaning of life that faith gives them.

Looking at her cheeks that were closed with her eyes but were still so beautiful and charming. I really couldn't think of the reason why she knelt in front of the Buddha. Maybe there was no reason that was so attractive just like the unknown of mathematics, but I can conclude that she was not seeking the next life. The afterlife of Han culture is underground, reunited with the still alive relatives in another world, where we also have our homes and various social networks. So what made her convert so piously? I only saw Guanyin Bodhisattva lowering his eyebrows and eyes in front of her without saying anything, just like the verse in the Diamond Sutra: The past heart cannot be obtained, the present heart cannot be obtained, and the future heart cannot be obtained.

Because of infinite possibilities, there are infinite unpredictable or sad or painful encounters. Life is never a simple mathematical formula of one plus one, but a multi-multiple equation. When life encounters some kind of change or accident, the fate of a person may change direction. The only thing that is unwavering is death. This is where everyone needs to report. What is the meaning of life? If you cannot answer this question, you will not be able to save the fate of death.

If death makes everything come to nothingness, then Buddhism turns the meaning of life into transcending thousands of kalpas and thousands of times. The infinite possibility of life even if this life fails, will there be a next life or even an infinite life?

But what is worth reincarnation for thousands of disasters? When life declines on the branches like fallen leaves, the so-called love, hate, fame, wealth and wealth in the world are nothing more than a gentle sigh in the night wind.Death may not be able to experience the beauty of thousands of mountains and rivers on the other side. What you really can't let go is that you did not cherish the beauty that the good world once gave you, so you hope that the cycle of reincarnation will be stitched and repaired.

She was still chanting the sutra in front of the Buddha: If I had committed many sins since the beginning of life and death in the past life and death... I think, the ultimate mission of faith may not be the salvation of the fate of death, nor the eternity that transcends the cycle of reincarnation, can it have another meaning? It wants to tell you that no one has brought you a letter from heaven, and no one has painted you the scenery on the other side . One person is a kingdom of heaven, and one other side.

I seem to understand. She knew that I was not a Buddhist and still brought me here. She just wanted me to understand that Everyone is a believer. Looking back is the other side of the world. Living well is a kind of faith.
