Since my father lived in his heart, the diet at home has changed a lot. First of all, my father quit smoking and alcohol, and it was very relaxed and painless. It seemed that if I had faith in my heart, it was no longer important to eat other things. I didn’t eat meat anymore. So

My father is a lay Buddhist. He is now building a temple in a deep mountain in Sanming City, Fujian Province. I don’t know which temple he built together. He didn’t say in detail, but we probably know it too.

Since my father lived in the heart of Buddha, his heart could no longer tolerate anything else. Since my father did not do business, he has been meditating and chanting Buddhist scriptures and copying scriptures for ten years. He always lived in a temple for several months a year, and then he donated his savings to the Buddhist Association to build a temple together.

We are all mortals. My mother used to be very opposed. She has donated all the money she has worked hard all her life, and her children have not lived well. She spends money to the temple every month and releases animals. But my mother is also very pious every time she makes a wish. She hopes that this family is good, that her children can be well, that they are safe and happy. My father is like this, so why are you still looking for great wealth?

Since my father lived in his heart, the diet at home has changed a lot. First of all, my father quit smoking and drinking, and it was very relaxed and painless. It seemed that if I had faith in my heart, it was no longer important to eat other things. I didn’t eat meat anymore. So my family couldn’t eat any living things for a long time. Meat was the first to eliminate, and even onions, ginger and garlic could not be eaten. This was extremely painful. After a long period of time of pale face and thin skin, my mother took the lead in resisting and bought a new pot for my father. He made what he wanted to eat and did not affect our normal diet.

So, my dad became a lay Buddhist and did not affect my eating meat, but it had profound impacts elsewhere, and these influences were subtle.

For example, people who are soft-hearted than before, and they are obviously living in an average life. Even when they go to supermarkets, they will cry when they see others suffering. When they see people who are not good at life, they will want to help them without hesitation. For example, I cannot see killing, and all the process of life from birth to death. I don’t know when it started, but it must have started after my father was in his heart.

I like to eat fish, but I never buy live fish. I have to buy someone else to kill them in advance. I can't do it now, because I can't stand it. I'm afraid of mice. My mother-in-law caught the mouse and put it in her hand and drowned. But I couldn't watch the whole process. I almost suffered from the process of the mouse from birth to death. I felt very painful. It was not until my mother-in-law took out the dead mouse and threw it away. I thought there must be something that affected.

I can recite the Diamond Sutra and copy the sutras, but I don’t believe in Buddhism. I am self-aware and I emphasize everything going with the flow. I also clearly tell my father not to force me about believing in Buddhism, because I don’t have him in my heart. My father asked me, are you really not in your heart?

I don’t know either, I don’t disgust it, but I don’t know how to copy scriptures and chant Buddha’s name. I don’t have any belief in my heart. I think faith is restrained and restrained on people in a certain aspect and level. My father said that this kind of restraint and restraint is not a bad thing, at least he has faith, I don’t.

Every time I chat with my father, I ask him to pay attention to his health. When I chat with my mother, I will say that I am doing well. Don’t worry. This is the difference between believing and not believing. Dad has sentient beings in his heart. I don’t know if the package of sentient beings does not include me, but my father is not worried about whether I am living well. He said that everything is fate, so he told me not to force it, just let it go. Mom is much more pragmatic. She will cry all night because I am so cold that I can’t sleep. She makes cotton coats and pants for me early the next morning, and will send it to me because of the discomfort of my grandchildren. I think this is the difference between ordinary people and lay Buddhists.

We no longer care about whether my father has a Buddha in his heart since he accepted it. He can’t look at the problem with his usual eyes. My father wants to do whatever he wants and doesn’t want to do, just be happy and comfortable. Just like he is building a temple in the mountains now, he said that he will stay there in the future, answering questions and answering questions for people for free, he can massage and physical therapy, and relieve people for free.

I said OK, if this is what you want to do, then you can do it with your own heart. If one day you want to go home, my brother and I will provide you with old age. He said it is not necessary. In the future, he will practice and travel around the world. He has his fate, and we also have our own lives. Don’t worry about him, he will live a good life.

I actually want to say that you are really selfish, but I didn't say that it's not bad for my father to do this. In our opinion, it's selfish, but if Yunyou really wants to do it and does it, then he really does things that many people dream of doing for the rest of their lives but failing to do. From another perspective, it's really good.

When I was a child, I was always controlled by my parents. I can never do what I want to do. I don’t want me to become my parents when I grow up. My father also said that he regretted not respecting me when I was a child. I said it doesn’t matter. I respect you no matter how you choose and do it in the future.

Go to Dad, go build temples, save all living beings, relieve pain for others, go travel around, live the days you want to live. We are all very good. Don’t worry, you have to pay attention to your health, you have to live until you are very old.
