Text/Positive Odd Point of View
When I get older, I want to go to bed early at night and can't sleep. Keep looking at the phone, the time is long, but also quite boring. I think it is better to lie in bed and read a book.
After reading Fan Zeng's talk about Chinese studies, I developed some interest in Buddhism. After buddhism was introduced to China, the first temple to be built was the White Horse Temple in Luoyang. I used to be a soldier there, and I made a special trip there on weekends, and next to the white horse in front of the temple, I took a picture of me wearing a military uniform, which is now yellow, but the memory is very clear.
At that time, the understanding of Buddhism was limited to the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and that was all. Reading Fan Zeng's book, I have some new understanding of Buddhism, that is, about God.
Buddhism acknowledges the existence of God, but does not believe that God is the Creator of the universe. Master Shengyan also said that the definition of the term God is very broad, there is a religious God, there is a philosophical God, there are many religious Gods, and there are many philosophical Gods. In short, look at God from any standpoint, and God will become what position requires.
In religious theory, God is more powerful than God and Buddha, because human beings are also created by God, and Buddhas mainly serve people. When human beings attain a certain level of understanding, they can become Buddhas.
So, in contrast, God is powerful, because if God has unhappy situations, then he can destroy everything. What's even more powerful about God is that he can give us what we want, and let us have the heart of a Buddha step by step.
What does God give us? I summarize it into three categories, one is precious life, although your life is given by your parents, but in the heart of the Buddhist disciple your life is given by God; the second is the only fate, the heart of the person who has the fate has a spirit, and the person who has no luck passes by, even if it is a thousand years of waiting, there is no result; the third is sincere love, all goodness is understanding tolerance and love, without love, God will abandon you sooner or later.
These things that God has given us are the saviors of The World It has created. In Buddhism, the expression "emptiness" means attaining a supreme state. In real life, however, because of the cruelty of its interests, people have doubts.
Some see life as a very far-fetched thing, look at it as having no return without investment, lose their proper conscience, and become an act condemned by God from the root with a sword.
Some people regard fate as something dispensable, not treasured in the heart, but lost outside, lost due patience, think that it is dispensable, and reality is bone-like.
Some people regard love very lightly, not from the heart to value, to do those things that warm people's hearts, but to make it utilitarian, so that love loses its due weight, and even let love become hate.
How much do you really believe in these things That God has given? This question of mine made me realize its preciousness, and the existence of God is to allow you to cultivate the buddha's heart, become a devout believer, and bring beauty and goodness to the world.
Many of our doubts are not because God is an illusory being, but because the ethereal spirit in our hearts and the depression in our hearts make us question fate, fate, and love.
What we should believe is that everyone's fate can be changed, and you must rely on your own efforts to change, just like the host Fan Deng said, reading can change fate.
We should believe that fate is the greatest surprise god has given you, and that there are only a few people in this world who are truly connected by hearts, only you and the person you have in mind.
What we firmly believe is that life will be eclipsed without love, the world will be better with love, and love contains understanding, forgiveness, kindness, gentleness, and will change everything.
It seems to me that what God gives is transcendent, human, and Buddha-like. What we can control is to keep a mind that listens to it all the time.
Look at it this way, the amount you believe in God, the amount God gives you, and the amount you get.
