yeman
021, A video of Yeman predicting China's future became popular on the Internet.
In this video recorded in 2007, Ye Man, who was already 93 years old, said:
"There are only two kinds of people in the world who are very smart. These two people were considered unfortunate in the past. One was Jewish and the other was Chinese. As long as the Chinese are given peace and stability, China will definitely be strong by 2020 at the latest! Unfortunately, I was no longer there at that time."
Now the prosperity has come. Who is the sacred Ye Man who predicted success?
By chance, Life
914, Ye Man was born in a prominent family in Beijing.
Her father was once a famous politician. He was suppressed for opposing Yuan Shikai , and then left the officialdom and went to the business world to work hard.
Ye Man was born in a chaotic world, but her father paid great attention to her education, and specially hired an enlightenment teacher for her.
Just like that, since Ye Man studied " Zuo Zhuan ", has started the road to learning Chinese studies. Later, Ye Man entered junior high school. Because of her excellent performance, she served as the class monitor and was responsible for organizing class affairs.
At that time, Ye Man was a storied figure in the school, and there were also many people who pursued her. The class teacher learned about this and criticized Ye Man severely.
He did not do anything wrong, but caused trouble for no reason. Ye Man felt very wronged and confided to his father. But my father just said:
"You are still young now. When you grow up in the future, you will find that there are many unfair and aggrieved things in society. Do you have to escape? If you are right, no matter how hard you are, you cannot admit defeat. Never admit your mistakes about what you have never done and succumb to others."
From that time on, Ye Man kept in mind the teachings, she studied diligently, and bravely faced all difficulties in life. The father's admonition affected Yeman's middle school years and her life.
935, Ye Man successfully entered Beijing Normal University with the first place in Chinese .
What is surprising is that she ended up becoming a top student at Peking University . It turns out that when choosing a school, Ye Man has always regarded Tsinghua as his first choice.
Unfortunately, Ye Man unfortunately failed the exam because of his poor math.
By chance, Mr. Hu Shizhi of Peking University saw Ye Man's article. He was very impressed and invited Ye Man to study at Peking University.
Hu Shi
Later, with the efforts of many parties, Ye Man started his journey to the highest institution of learning as " trial student ". Peking University has always advocated freedom and ideological liberation, and respected the personal wishes of students.
At that time, China was still in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. In order to revitalize China, Ye Man chose the economic professional without hesitation, in order to save the country through industry in the future.
Perhaps even she herself did not expect that Ye Man would become a famous master of Chinese studies later. People often say that Ye Man's life was a life of by chance.
She always passes by what she thinks and wants, but every footprint Ye Man walks through has a corresponding reason.
The way to cheat by masters of Chinese studies
Peking University has a deep foundation, Under the guidance of masters such as Qian Mu , Wen Yiduo and other masters , Ye Man, who has a solid literary foundation, has gained great gains.
At the same time, while studying at Peking University, Ye Man also met his lover Tian Baodai.
Tian Baodai and Ye Man are both students of Peking University and were once the top scorer in the general studies at Peking University.
Tian Baodai and Yeman
Two excellent people are attracted to each other, Finally entered the palace of marriage . After marriage, the two respect each other and gave birth to a lovely daughter. The family lives a happy life.
After graduating from Peking University, Ye Man entered Fu Ren University and served as associate professor in the Department of Philosophy. However, Tian Baodai became a diplomat.
Later, as the ambassador's wife, Ye Man followed him around to visit and traveled to many countries such as the United States, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and other countries. has been going through a full 25 years.
After more than 20 years of overseas stay, Tian Baodai and Ye Man finally stabilized, and settled in Los Angeles, USA. At this time, Ye Manren was middle-aged and had more and more experience in life, and her thinking about life also deviated from the original course.
40s , Ye Man began to think about the problem of students and death. She racked her brains at , but couldn't figure it out.
Ye Man kept asking himself: "How old should I live? There are many young people in the world. How can I know that I will die tomorrow? So what will I do in my life? After I die, I will be gone."
Thinking that after death, fame, wealth, money, status, etc. have no connection with him, , Ye Man fell into an unextinguishable sadness.
Therefore, she began to shift the focus of work and life to philosophy and find the true meaning of life.
During her visits to various countries with her husband, Yeman had been exposed to many doctrines such as Christianity, Islam , etc.
Yeman once tried to find the answer in the Western religious world, but he never gained nothing. In the end, she chose to return to Eastern thought and began to study Chinese studies.
She began to try to compare different religions, uses induction and deduction methods to infer what life is, and the question of people should spend their whole life.
Confucius once said: "The dead are like this, and they will never leave day and night." Inspired by this sentence , Ye Man began to think about the issue of life and the coming and going.
Taoist once said: "The living is sent, and the dead are returning." . From Taoist thoughts, Ye Man felt that his troubles had been a long time received a further answer.
However, the root cause of the problem has never been solved. Under the introduction of a friend, Ye Man met the famous Chinese studies master Nan Huaijin .
She asked a question about life that had troubled her for a long time, but Nan Huaijin did not answer directly. instead took Ye Man to find the answer while reading " Shurangama Sutra ".
Nan Huaijin and Ye Man
For several years, Ye Man repeatedly studied this book , and his spiritual realm was sublimated. It’s just that lingering problem has not been solved for a long time.
As Ye Man said, there is always a huge gap between her and Buddhism. "The scriptures are scriptures, I am me", Ye Man is always like an outsider in the world of exploration.
Ye Man has asked Nan Huaijin many times, and the two have many differences in Buddhism, life philosophy, etc. Ye Man never hindered from Master Nan Huaijin's identity, but instead argued with reason, and the two of them kept arguing.
In Ye Man's eyes, Nan Huaijin is like a "stubborn old man" , and his respect for him has never faded.
Nan Huaijin is Ye Man's guide in Buddhism, and is also the mentor who guides her spiritual world . Ye Man is always grateful for this.
Later, Ye Man, who was far away abroad, received the news that Nan Huaijin would do to 7 during the Spring Festival, so he let go of everything, flew to Taipei urgently, and sat next to Nan Huaijin.
On the fifth day of meditation, Nan Huaijin had a profound conversation with Ye Man: "There are two days left to end. What do you want?"
"It's still that old question," Ye Man replied. Nan Huaijin said, "If you keep making trouble like this, you won't find the answer."
Ye Man accepted the master's advice and chose to let go of his obsession, but suddenly felt an epiphany.
She began to study Buddhism, Taoism , studied Confucian for many years, and cultivated his views on Eastern and Western cultures, philosophy, and religion to an extremely high level.
In the 1960s, in order to promote Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, Ye Man established the "Wenxian Society" in Taiwan.
70s, she established the "Wenxian Academy" in Los Angeles, USA. Later in a conversation with reporters, Ye Man mentioned his original intention of establishing a college:
"To be honest, I founded Wenxian Academy in China - I couldn't imagine it at that time, but now I want to start from Beijing - officially popularize the three major Chinese cultures so that 1.3 billion Chinese people know it."
Not long after, Ye Man became the vice president of the World Buddhist Friendship Association. She often travels between countries in the world, holds various lectures, and spreads Chinese studies to all regions.
With Ye Man's efforts, the Four Books and the Tao Te Ching and other courses went to the world, and the dissemination and promotion of Chinese culture have entered a new historical period.
During his tenure at the World Buddhist Friendship Association, Ye Man met Zhao Puchu, the president of the association. Both of them have profound and unique insights on Buddhism , so they hit it off and established a deep friendship.
Under the leadership of Zhao Puchu, Ye Man came to Yunju Temple for the first time . Buddhism flourished in the Sui Dynasty, and Yunju Temple, which rose from the ground, became a holy place, . Everyone rushed to worship, and came and went, making it very lively.
However, China has been in constant war over the years, coupled with the baptism of time, Yunju Temple has long been dilapidated and , unlike the past situation.
Looking at the bronze statue of the Bodhisattva whose three fingers were blown off in the temple, Ye Man was heartbroken and couldn't help but shed tears. She looked at the Bodhisattva and made a promise: "I'll rebuild Yunju Temple."
Yunju Temple is huge in scale and it is difficult to completely repair it with just one person's strength. Everyone thinks Ye Man is a joke. No one expected that in order to rebuild Yunju Temple, Ye Man almost gambled everything.
After coming out of Yunju Temple, Ye Man began to raise funds.
She followed Taiwan Island , told wealthy families the story of Yunju Temple . The stone carvings and bronze statues and sculptures in it became Ye Man's material.
Ye Man's devotion to Buddhism moved everyone, and they all donated generously. At this time, she also saw hope. Later, Ye Man went to Hong Kong, , Singapore, , and gave a speech in the United States, which still revolved around the theme of Yunju Temple.
Soon after, she raised 320,000 yuan and handed it over to the Chinese government.
Later, Yunju Temple was rebuilt and restored its former magnificence. Ye Man made an indelible contribution to the preservation of a large number of stone scriptures and bronze statues.
While focusing on spreading traditional Chinese culture, Ye Man also actively integrates into society.
has always been actively raising funds, and donated Hope Primary School to poor areas such as Yunnan to help children complete their studies.
As of now, there have been 13 "Wenxian" primary schools donated by Ye Man, and locals have praised them.
attitude towards life, long and long
While cultivating the literary realm to the extreme, Ye Man is also working hard to manage his life. Since the age of 8, Yeman has become a firm vegetarian.
However, her vegetarian philosophy, did not originate from Buddhism , but was related to her own experience.
html When she was 38 years old, Ye Man's parents led her to a famous mutton shop in Beijing.
Ye Man witnessed the whole process of the chef slaughtering sheep with his own eyes. The sheep's wailing that night always lingers in her ears . Since then, she has never eaten meat again.
"Before animals are slaughtered, their hearts are full of hatred and resentment. These resentments accumulate into toxins and spread in the meat. If you eat this toxin-containing meat for a long time, it will be harmful to the human body. Therefore, eating less meat means less poisoning," Ye Man said.
Ye Man also has his own experience in diet. She suggested that everyone should eat only 70% full for each meal, eat well for breakfast, eat enough for lunch, eat less for dinner, or even not.
Entering his old age, Birth, old age, sickness and death are the taboos of talking about , but Ye Man doesn't care at all.
She once said: "In fact, it is easy for each of us to live a hundred years old. We can completely extend the time of aging."
In fact, Ye Man is also practicing this famous saying throughout his life. Someone once asked why Ye Man is still healthy and energetic when he entered the advanced stage.
In this regard, Ye Man also revealed his secret: keep his emotions stable.
"Don't be angry, especially when eating, especially when you are angry. Remember, if you are angry once, you will reduce your life by one year. If you are angry, you will get sick all kinds of diseases." Ye Man said.
On Yeman, People will never see the panic about death.
In 2006, Mr. Ye Man accepted an exclusive interview with Phoenix TV's "Cultural Grand View Garden" and said that a master once predicted that he could live to 103 years old, and at that time, she only had the last decade of in the prediction of , and she hoped to make good use of the next time.
As Mr. Ye Man said: "Only by spending this life with wisdom can you live up to the world and walk through it."
Therefore, she never anxious and still focuses on the establishment of Wenxian Academy. raises funds to donate money to remote areas , perfectly spending the last time in her life, working hard, and fulfilling her wishes.
In 2007, Ye Man was invited to attend a speech at Peking University. After many years, Ye Man was moved in his heart after standing on the podium of his alma mater again.
Under the gaze of thousands of students, Ye Man gave a speech entitled "China must be strong".
She started with the origin of Eastern and Western cultures, and analyzed the future trend of Chinese studies and Chinese culture.
In Ye Man's view, China has a cultural accumulation of thousands of years , which determines that China in the future will inevitably have an unstoppable trend.
Ye Man, who is over 90 years old, is still in good spirits. She said passionately:
"It's not that I brag. As long as I give us peace and stability, China is amazing. China will definitely be strong! By 2020 at the latest, no country can compare with us."
Ye Man encourages students to study China's knowledge well, draw the essence from the ideas of various schools of thought , and apply what you have learned. The students sitting in the audience couldn't help feeling excited when they heard Ye Man's statement.
Facts proved that Ye Man's "prophecy" at that time was not wrong. Today, China has become a well-deserved world power.
Nowadays, China has become the world's second largest economy , gradually moving towards the center of the world stage, science and technology and culture are flourishing, China is vast, countless Chinese people have washed away a century of shame and rushing towards the future!
In February 2017, Ye Man passed away at home in Los Angeles, at the age of 103. Mr. Ye Man died, and was silent when he passed away, without any illness or reluctance.
"Life is like acting. Even if I am a substitute, I must run well." , Mr. Ye Man's attitude towards life, and her life's contribution to spreading Chinese culture will be remembered by people.
