Knowledge Palm——The last secret realm hidden in Yuntai Valley
Watching the weather is stuffy, I move from the hometown of reality to the hometown of spirit. She is on the north of Yuntai, Lingchuan County, , , , and is called Zhisheng Palm, a small natural village.
Everyone has two hometowns in his heart. One is the realist hometown, crude and full of the bad smell of the country's power; the other is the ideal hometown in the heart, with high sky and clouds flowing, quiet and peaceful, and let go of the heart that has been trampled by the world, and is hidden outside the world.
If you ask me where is my ideal hometown? I will tell you in Taihang, in Qinquan Grand Canyon north of Yuntai Mountain, and in Zhisheng Palm, one of the birthplaces of Laotangou River.
She is under the clouds, and it is my heart’s hometown.
On the way to the village, I looked at the geraniums blooming late on the mountain top, quietly showing her unpretentious but red simple petals on the roadside, which looked like my heart looking for a simple life.
On the hillside, I saw three families, surrounded by a ditch with springs and a small courtyard with stones. Every morning, smoke will rise to cook to welcome the birds singing in the morning.
Taihang Mountain, this small village called Zhisheng Palm. The altitude of 1,000 meters made me restless in the high temperature of the Zhongzhou Plain at 38 degrees and suddenly returned to coolness and tranquility.
especially liked the clean courtyard, so he transferred from the farmhouse inn on the road to this shaded village. The owner is Xiaobao, there are two girls, an old man, and more than 70 sheep.
None of these have any advantages over me. What I envy is Zhisheng Palm, this small village wrapped in mountains, and the clean stone courtyard in the small village. I don't have this. More importantly, there is no place that belongs to you and allows you to be quiet in the troubles of fame and fortune outside the mountains.
I stayed at his house for a night, and I slept very sweetly, and my dreams seemed to be very soothing. I came with me to live in seclusion in Hulu Temple, and got up in the middle of the night to listen to the birds singing in the depths of the forest.
He returned to the familiar environment he was looking for a way to meditate. When I woke up in the early morning, it was a little cold. Thinking about the high temperature at the foot of the mountain not far from home, it seemed like a different life.
people always complain that they cannot find the Pure Land in this world because they do not have a truly quiet heart. There is a distant landscape, like a secret realm, which is appreciated by one person and read by one person himself, of course there is another kind of serenity.
Even if you feel distressed when you look at the clouds, you may be afraid that tears will evaporate and float away like the flowing clouds outside the green mountains. There is no heart that wants to make money too much, and the land that falls down is convenient for my hometown. In this world, too many people think of simple things complexly, and too many people think of complex things simple.
Sometimes I think that a person’s fate lies in his own creation, luck lies in his own reform, blessing lies in his own pursuit, environment lies in his own choice, friendship lies in his own choice, habit lies in himself, enlightenment lies in his own pain, everything lies in himself. Others can't blame others.
I have always known that before doing anything, you should base yourself on the "truth", and then your mood will be simple. People’s time is really too limited, just a few decades, so try to live a simple life. Just like this moment when a child is in the palm of his hand.
Theoretically, we are surrounded by 6 billion people. But in this life, we live among 60 people at most. And there are only a few people who make you love and pain, joy and sorrow, life and death. These people are your world.
So, you don’t have to care about more people and more things. The more you care about it, the deeper it will sink, the longer you will be entangled, and the more you will be tortured.
is simple. Simplicity is happiness.
Just like looking at a flower, I just need to intoxicate her fragrance.
A person's heart has two states of joy: one is fullness, and the other is nourishment. Some things in the world, such as making a lot of money, seeking heavy power, winning reputation, and applause from flowers and thrilling. This state of joy in the heart is full. But after being full, pleasure is no longer pleasure, but only stimulation is left.Other things in the world, such as drinking tea, visiting mountains, watching clouds, appreciating the moon, banging the leaves, and moving clouds and birds are frightened. This state of pleasure in the mind is nourishing. The feeling that nourishes the soul is that it is never tired of it, never get tired of it, never ends.
In this world, everything related to utilitarianism can only feed it in the heart, but not nourish it. More people are concerned about how much money you have, how many houses you have, where to work, what position you have, and how deep your social background you have. Because, from a secular perspective, this is what is useful. It’s the same as showing off. If you say these things, you will win envy, admiration and even respect.
However, if you tell others, how many times you have seen ants running around every day, how many times you have watched the sunset flowing, how many times you have heard the birds singing, how many times you have smelled the fragrance of flowers, how peaceful your heart is, how happy your soul is, everyone thinks you are just bored. Because, in their opinion, these are useless things.
has no ambitions, just want to find such a valley, such a house, such green mountains, and such trees. People will grow old, but ideals will not.
What is the purpose of living? It’s hard to explain, this is human confusion. We have refined our thoughts outside the mountain, but our thoughts have no soul, our souls have no ethereality, our ethereality has no fairy energy, and our fairy energy has no spiritual mountain to rely on.
So we must continue our own journey. The stupidest way is to find a village close to Lingshan to solve the problem of flying immortals and regression.
This stream flows out from behind the stone house of Zhisheng Palm. It is extremely clear, flowing into the Qinquan River and into part of the Yuntai Tian Waterfall. Maybe she didn't expect that it was earth-shaking, her original intention was just simple and clean. She is willing to be with the little flowers and grass.
Over the years, I have been walking alone in Taihang, going deep into the mountains at the junction of Shanxi and Henan to find these buildings, people, and things that have been slowly forgotten by time, and trying to understand many stories from hundreds of years ago. Later I thought about it, I was really not alone at all in such a profound history.
The value system of this world is already messed up, but you'd better not messed up. Learn to let go of something, such as unnecessary face, such as indifferent vanity. I mean, doing this is the best way to care for yourself.
I was on the eaves under the village, watching the swallow's hard work and listening to her whispering, it was the clear sound of my ideal hometown. I stood in front of Zhisheng's village, watching her flowing, neither speed nor slow, nor deliberately flying. And that heart that was irritated outside also became smooth in the swing of the stream.
Knowing the palm, she taught me to listen, stop speaking, revelation and peace. This summer, I met a village, whose name was Zhisheng Palm.
