There was a real story that said that a Thai temple was about to be relocated. There was an ordinary clay Buddha statue during the transportation. The monks in charge of the transportation found a crack on the surface. In order to protect the Buddha statue, they stopped quickly to see if there could be any way to avoid damage to the transportation.
A monk took a flashlight to check carefully at the crack of the Buddha statue, and found that there was a shining light reflected inside. He carefully investigated with a small hammer and a chisel, and found that it turned out to be a gold-cast Buddha statue.
The monks speculated that this must be the monks in the temple back then. In order to protect the precious Buddha statue, they painted the golden Buddha statue into a mud Buddha statue. After so many years of relocation, everyone discovered its true value.
The monks are used to the clay Buddha as usual, but they do not know that the clay Buddha is the golden Buddha.
In life, people usually hide themselves for various reasons. For example, pretending to be yourself for something, or for self-protection or following the herd, cultural education, and of course, the evils deep in human nature, etc.
Humans are natural animals and social animals. With the domestication of society, people always hide themselves and even live with masks.
As people often say, "People are floating in the world, and you must not miss a mask with boxes."
However, over time, we are used to it and cannot even realize the existence of the real self under the mask.
Because we are too used to wearing masks in front of others, we end up pretending to be ourselves in front of ourselves. --- Xu Zhimo
Live with a mask, you can only live in the eyes of others.
is used to looking at other people's faces and even forgetting that we also have dreams.
Living around others will make people lose themselves in a soulless world and forget where their hearts are.
For example, we care especially about a person, always don’t like him, and are resentful of what he does and complains, and in the end we will find that except for these, we don’t know what to do.
Maybe now is the time to take off the mask we have been wearing for a long time and break the mud shell of the soul-bound bondage.
to try hard to discover your true self, listen carefully to your inner voice, live down-to-earth with your own heart for a while, give it your heart's heart, and live a wonderful life.
The well-known writer Anne Baby once advised us: take off the mask and open your heart so that you can start to talk. Tell yourself, then remove your burden and set off again.
Only the human mind is the beginning. Strictly speaking, appearance is just a mask, and the real person is within people. -- Hugo
The soul is like a flower, and we also need to take care of it often, water it in time, face her, listen to her, and think about where the wings of dreams should fly with her? There is the destination for us to feel at ease.
