The French philosopher Basca said: "Man is just a reed, the most fragile in nature, but a reed that thinks." ”
The Lebanese thinker Gibran put it this way: "Is life like the foam of the sea, which can only appear on the surface of the water for an instant, and then the sea breeze sweeps by, making it burst and become as if it never existed?" No! I dare say that the true meaning of life is life, and the beginning of this life does not lie in the womb, nor does its end lie in the tomb. These years are in an endless life, but only for a moment. This earthly life is just a dream...
Life is a process, from the moment of birth, it is destined that the future days, whether it is in the ninth and fifth respect, or a life of poverty, the cycle of life is long or short, it is to the final return to the ----- death, no matter the emperor and the magnate This is the fate that no one can escape, immortality is just a beautiful yearning and wishful thinking.
People live in the world for only a few decades, to live to have a lifetime of practice, to be a person must first know how to be grateful, nothing is taken for granted, and no one should pay for us, even our parents, learn to be grateful, with a sincere and grateful heart to touch and warm those who pay for us; we eat in our mouths, we wear clothes, our food, clothing, shelter, eating, drinking, and sleeping, are all the results of the blood, sweat and tears of others. The life of each individual is lonely and fragile, and it is all up to the support of society and the warmth of the family to grow. In this world, both industrialists, merchants, peasants, and soldiers, as well as peddlers and pawns, are all part of society and deserve to be cared for and respected. A person with a sound personality, a person who knows how to be grateful, will repay those who have dedicated themselves to us with sincere feelings. The cycle of world events, the cycle of cause and effect, the accumulation of virtue and good deeds, and the blessings of the world.
Yuan Zhong, a professor of medicine at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, once said on the podium of 10,000 people: "The value of human beings is to let other creatures live well, this society has more beauty with you, don't let this society have more pain or bad because of me." ”
Man may not be able to read, but he may not be illiterate; a tree is tall and does not forget its roots, and if a man is brilliant, he will not be ungrateful. In this life, we must always remember to thank three kinds of people: first, those who can share weal and woe with you; second, those who help you up when you fall; and third, those who still do not abandon you after you have nothing.
Not to complain, laughing and watching the flowers bloom is a good mood, and watching the flowers fall quietly is also a good realm. People always have to experience endless sorrow and joy in life, there is an encounter, there must be separation, there will be surprises and regrets, rather than complaining, it is better to let go.
The distance between the heart and the flower lies in appreciation and understanding; the distance between the heart and the world lies in accommodation, in awe, in the distance between the heart and the heart, in understanding, in sincerity.
If a person's life is not a person, no matter how successful he is, it is temporary; if he is successful, he is also temporary. People fight to the end, fighting for your image, your credibility, humanity, moral integrity and knowledge and personality.
Qiong Yao said: "When you are born, you wish to be like a spark, burning until the last moment of life." When you die, you may be like a snowflake, floating to the ground and turning to dust. "The most helpless thing in life is that you can't choose to live, and you can't choose to die."
Every present is our future billion, no need to remember yesterday, no need to expect tomorrow, as long as we seriously live every today, say what we can say, do what we can do, take the road we should take, meet the people we want to see, be down-to-earth, not indifferent, not vain, have no luck, everything goes with the flow, maintain a good mood, even if the heart is broken, you must have the most beautiful posture.
Don't turn people's lives into a chase, and end up reaping a physical and mental struggle. Time is leisurely, in fact, it is a reminder of life, learn to let the mentality slow down, return tired, do not forget the original heart, the road is under the feet, measure their own strength, live their own lives, and live today's life.
All people are naked birth, naked walking, life does not bring, death does not bring, no matter what attributes, values, names, wealth, etc. in life, will eventually turn into a cloud of smoke, so do not be too attached to superficial things, do more meaningful things. No matter where you live, rich or poor, as long as you can have a good heart, say good things, do good deeds, and be a good person, you are worthy of respect and praise.
In the red dust world, people's lives are all crawling and rolling in greed, indulging in the pleasure brought by greed, unable to extricate themselves, money and power, sound and color dogs and horses, stirring up how many people are not at peace. I don't know that in the end it will be turned into karma, and everything will not be self-help, only karma will accompany you. Evil intentions, harsh words, improper behavior, and violent destruction of natural things will eventually harm others and harm themselves, and bring misfortune to future generations. A thousand acres of fertile land, but three meals a day; a thousand rooms in Guangsha, do not sleep eight feet at night. People's lives can adhere to the curiosity, dedication, harmony, friendliness, drink cold water is also sweet, living in the hut and sleeping peacefully is the greatest blessing.
One life, one autumn of grass and trees. The greatest evil is to take advantage of the goodness of others; the greatest good is to dissolve the evil of others. Good and evil are in their hearts, and they do not go crazy when they are proud, and they do not move their anger when they are frustrated. If you have a good heart, you can have nothing to worry about, and if you have a good heart, you have nothing to hate.
A person will not lose anything because of his kindness and virtue, but will be blessed by his kindness and virtue. A kind person will honor his parents, respect the old and love the young, and be kind to everyone who knows him. People who do good deeds without asking for anything in return often receive unexpected rewards. The life of a virtuous person is tied to heaven, and in times of crisis, there is always no danger, turning danger into disaster, blessing from misfortune, auspiciousness in distress, in the darkness, God blesses goodness, and let good hearts be with life.
When people have a compassionate heart, they will become kind, and as soon as they are kind, they will be peaceful, and a quiet heart can keep our hearts away from joy, anger, sorrow, sorrow, and panic. Kindness is like a spring rain silently moisturizing the body, it can make the qi become soft, the blood become smooth, and the heart is full of compassion.
The lighter and clearer the water, the lighter the person, the happier he is. Indifference makes people simple; simplicity makes people happy. The heart is natural and peaceful; the heart is straight and sincere; the heart is natural and soft; the heart is natural and solemn. Quietly feel, shake off the dust of the years, with a dust-free heart, restore the authenticity of life, with a grateful heart, treat all of life.
Life, in fact, is like this, helpless but must accept, sometimes always want to make themselves live a dashing and happy life, but can not give up on the people or things around them! Years pass, time flies, people's life pain and loneliness linger, no matter how good things, there is a day of loss, no matter how deep the memory also has a day of forgetting, no matter how much love people have a day of going away, no matter how beautiful the dream also has a day of awakening, the one that should be given up will never be retained, and the one that should be cherished will never let go.
Tagore's "Birds": "Only by experiencing the hellish grind can you cultivate the power to create heaven; only the fingers that have shed blood can pop out of the world." “
Life has a ruler, people have a degree, we can't control the fate, but we can control ourselves, do not seek the glory of life, but seek a life without regrets. Happiness is a realm, happiness is a pursuit, the road traveled, only to know the long and short; through the things to know that there are joys and hurts. Those who have tasted it know that there are truths and falsehoods, that everything can be abandoned, but that one cannot abandon the sincerity of one's heart, that one can lose anything, but one cannot lose one's conscience.
You laugh, the whole world laughs with you; you cry, you are the only one in the world who cries. Pain without words, laughter without words, confusion without loss, shock but not chaos; standing in this holy heaven and earth, all suffering and pain and red dust become very small and worth mentioning, and the vast earth makes people's hearts become incomparably wide and peaceful.
It is not the environment that determines the mood, but the mood that determines the environment, learn to be optimistic, and never accept defeat. Life must have cracks for the sun to shine in; there are bumps in the road for people to become stronger.
Chew on the years and smile warmly.
Life is a process, only those who have experienced the torment of the years can taste the truest taste of life.
A gust of autumn rain, a gust of wind, returning to the fallen leaves, blowing away the impermanence;
A reincarnation, a play, what cannot be put down is the ending, and what cannot be lost is the process;
Confused all the way, all the way sad, what can't be scattered is the self, and what can't be found is the self;
One thought of bodhi and one thought of goodness cannot be solved by causes, and what cannot be avoided is cause and effect.
