Create a good life by practicing

Create a good life

Seeing that there is a book "The Four Lessons of Life" at hand that has not been unpacked, so I opened it and flipped it up - I often pick up a book like this, and when I read it, I want to remember it and reflect on myself.

This book mainly writes: Create a good life through self-cultivation .

This system is the same as what I am doing now, so I continue reading:

Yuan Liaofan According to the teachings of Zhen Master Yungu , I lived a life of practice. The first thing is to correct your mistakes is to correct your behavior and do something. The second is to do good deeds, which means to keep doing good deeds. He distinguished what is good and what is evil, and carefully listed ten kinds of good deeds, and finally talked about the importance of maintaining humility.

I also talk about "cultivation". In my opinion, practicing is not a noble behavior, but something that needs to be done every day. It is mainly from the inside out. Whatever you think in your heart, you will do what you do; if you think wrong, you will do something wrong, and if you make mistakes, you will correct it and encourage yourself.

So there is a sense of tension inside, not being able to indulge yourself at all times, but this is very safe and you can see your own progress and growth.

This book is also a lifestyle manual, which can be used as a guide in life to learn from the most valuable life experiences and experiences summarized by predecessors throughout their lives, so as to help us avoid detours.

This conversation is very interesting. When I was young, I felt that I could do everything. Gradually, as I realized myself, I would "accept my fate". This conversation may be more or less in everyone's heart, giving people inspiration:

Mr. Lefan and Zen Master Yungu sat in meditation for three days and three nights, sleeping and without any conversation.

Zen Master Yungu asked: Why did you sit for three days and three nights without seeing your thoughts?

Lavan answered: There is a fortune teller who told me all the gains and losses of my life. Even if I have a false thought, there is nothing to imagine.

Zen Master Yungu smiled: I thought you had great wisdom, but I was also an ordinary man.

The Zen master answered: If a person cannot do without delusions, he will be bound by delusions and will eventually be unable to escape the flow of fate. How can he still surpass his destiny? In fact, only ordinary people have the so-called fate. A very, very kind person has difficulty trapping him; a very, very evil person has difficulty trapping him; because the seeds accumulated by good and evil will make fate very uncertain. And for twenty years, you have stopped working hard and never changed your destiny because you were determined by a fortune teller. Isn’t you an ordinary person?

Lavan asked: Can we escape the fate?

Is there really a so-called fate? I asked, too. I often sigh that life now is a state that cannot be imagined in the past. So based on this inference, how can the state of the future be what I can imagine now? Therefore, with my own efforts, I have accumulated this day and today. As for the future, "just do good things and don't ask about the future."

1 Zen master said many words of wisdom:

• The fate of a person cannot be separated from people's hearts. Whether you seek or not depends on yourself. Morality, benevolence, righteousness, fame, wealth and honor are all things you can seek if you want. You can seek morality, benevolence and righteousness inward, or you can seek fame, wealth and honor from outside. There is something to gain inside and outside, this is the right pursuit.

• If we do not examine ourselves from the depths of our hearts, but instead pursue external things, we will fall into blind pursuit. Everything can only be left to fate, and will not get it inward and outward, and it will be of no use.
• Pray to the gods and Buddhas to build your own life pattern without any delusions, pray devoutly, and practice diligently, so that you can feel something.
• Mencius said, "Long live forever," short life and long life are very subjective dichotomies. When we are quiet and when we are fully devoted to life, how can we have short life? Where can I live long? To put it in detail, if you do not have a discrimination about abundance and shortage, you can be happy and know your destiny in terms of wealth and poverty, and not be affected by the rich and poor; if you do not have a discrimination about poverty and success, you can follow the destiny in terms of noble and low status and not be affected by the noble and low status; if you do not have a discrimination about short life and long life, you can be free in terms of life and death. In life, life and death are the most important things. After exploring life and death, all good and bad situations can be at peace.
• The attitude towards fate should be to cultivate oneself diligently and be able to wait with peace of mind. It is to let go after doing everything possible, and it is to use a worldly heart to do a worldly career.
• The so-called "repair" means that one has a mistake, and one should be completely corrected and never make it again. Therefore, "waiting" means completely cutting off even a little bit of inappropriate attempts, ideas, accommodation, and catering. Only in this way can one achieve the state of not having any thoughts, which is truly real knowledge and true learning to establish one's destiny.

Practice means being trembling and in awe.
