Many people lament how a person can change their destiny, and from the heart, the appearance changes, the fate will change, want to change the fate, the first thing to change is the heart! There are thousands of ends, but the heart creates, good karma, bad karma are caused by the heart, change from the heart, cultivate the good from the heart.
What is the heart? The mind is the concept, the concept is correct, the fate will change, the concept is your own, no one can change your concept, the so-called turn with the heart, self-transformation of life. In life, the most important thing to do is to cultivate oneself. In the "Four Precepts of Fan", Yuan Zhifan told future generations that rehabilitation must have "three hearts" - a sense of shame, a sense of awe, and a heart of courage. Shame is self-awareness, reverence is the result of shame, deep shame, and then the courage to change.
The author of the "Four Precepts of Fan", Yuan Yifan, whose real name is Yuan Huang, lived during the Jiaqing period of the Ming Dynasty, and the "Four Precepts of Fan Fan" is his family letter to his son. It mainly includes that fate is created by oneself, blessing oneself, knowing one's destiny, confessing one's destiny, and then changing one's life.
Mr. Fan lost his father at an early age, his family was poor, and his mother told him to give up studying and study medicine, and he had a skill to support himself. Until one day, he met an old man at The Ciyun Temple, who told him that he was going to be a politician in the future, asked him to go to the academy to study quickly, and said that the trajectory of his life had long been doomed, including the rank of the exam, how big an official he could be, no son in his life, and even when he would die.
In the days to come, Yuan Yifan's trajectory of his life was indeed according to the words of the old man of Ciyun Temple, almost not bad, he thought that since his fate sometimes had to be had it, and he did not have to demand it at any time, and he still needed to work hard to do something, he began to relax, indifferently, and did not read poetry, until he met The Zen Master of Yungu in Qixia Mountain.
Zen Master Yungu told him that the fate should be made by me, and the blessings should be asked for by myself, and the reading of the book should be called mingxun. All the blessings, not inches away. Fate depends on oneself, we must accumulate virtue, we must cherish love, and we must cherish our spirit.
Zeng Guofan understood after reading the "Four Precepts of The Fan Fan" that before the flower is fully opened and the moon is not round, it is the highest state of the harmony of life, and then changed the name to "Pure Life", from the past, such as yesterday's death, from the latter, such as today's life.
