When you are old and have no money, can you live your old age peacefully by learning zhuangzi practice?
I have heard people say that people who practice cultivation do not need money, but they can live very well and live in peace in their old age.
The evidence is that "a poor meal, a scoop of drink, in the dark alley, people are not worried, and they will not change their happiness." "Yan Hui has no money and is not "very good"?
But I would like to say that when you are strong, as long as you have a bite to eat, the curtain is overwhelming, and everything is done.
Because when you are young, the bottom line of freedom is to eat a bite.
At this point, even Zhuangzi, the originator of the free world, is not exempt from vulgarity. Zhuangzi was very hungry and went to Jianhehou to borrow grain. Jian Hehou said, "This is easy to do, I happen to have a debt to collect, and when it is collected, I will borrow you three hundred yuan immediately." ”
Forcing Dazhe Zhuangzi to tell a story to Jianhehou: I found a sturgeon in the rutted water, the water was about to dry, and the fish asked me to save it. I said this is easy to do, wait for me to go to Wuyue to lead the water of the West River to save you. The fish said, I need the water of the bucket to survive, you do this, just wait to see my dried fish in the salted fish shop.
Sages are like Zhuangzi, who also bow their heads for a bite to eat. Without this stutter, we can only see the Warring States recipe menu when we open Zhuangzi, and he can only have this in his head.
As for people getting old, the more demand, the more compound, far more than a bite to eat can be sent away.
People are old, the most unfortunate is the loss of action and self-care ability, forced to bed, at this time no money, no economic ability, the high probability will experience the greatest malice of human nature (no filial piety in front of the bed for a long time, not to mention outsiders who have no blood relations and do not give money?). ）
Lying in bed, unable to take care of himself, water and fire are not clear (urinating and stool are not smooth, cleaning up is not timely). Endlessly soaking in your own feces, is there any practice of mind?
I searched through Kong, Meng, Lao, and Zhuang, but I couldn't find a mental way to cope with this situation.
Therefore, when people are old, it is better to have their own children than to carry their own wealth. Plan ahead.
