The Cai Gen Tan says: "This body is always placed in idle places, and whoever gains and loses honor and disgrace can send me; this body is always in silence, and whoever is right or wrong can conceal me." ”
The heart is quiet, the world is under my feet; the heart is quiet, let the world wind and clouds, everything is foreign; the heart is quiet, like the stream that flows, transparent and clear, always permeated with a calm and calm temperament...
If the heart is perfectly cultivated, then everything is perfect, and only when the mind is quiet can the mind be perfected and the highest realm of life can be achieved.
01. Meditation gives birth to wisdom
The mind, only still, can think about everything in silence; the mind, only still, can give birth to countless kinds of wisdom in thinking.
If the mind is always floating in impetuousness, chaotic thoughts, and confused minds, then can there be time to think about problems and solve problems?
People, can always be disturbed by countless things, whether it is emotional or the surrounding environment, if you can not keep your mind quiet, you can only become more and more restless, where is there any urgency to speak of?
A disciple asked the Zen master, "Why is it that a monk can always satisfactorily solve all the problems after meditating?" ”
The Zen master replied, "In fact, meditation is only a form, and what it really means is that people need to be in a quiet mind before they can think about problems and go deeper into problems, so that they can generate wisdom and think about the crux of the problem." ”
The disciple nodded, "No wonder I can't solve the problem, it turns out that my heart is not quiet." ”
If the mind is not quiet, it will be chaotic, the mood will be chaotic, and it will not be able to find the problem at all, if the mind is quiet, the mind will be clear, and the correct source will be found in the thousands of problems, so that the crux of the problem can be slowly found, so as to solve the problem.
02. Calm mind is indifferent
If the heart is not quiet, the desire is endless; if the heart is not quiet, the journey of life is a hurried journey to chase fame and fortune, can not see the scenery, can not enjoy the comfort of the breeze, and is left with endless pain and suffering.
People are born with desires, but many people's desires do not expand, and they are suitable for a degree, while some people are like the balloon that swells, the more greedy they are, the more they want to get, and one day they will explode like the balloon.
To be a person, you should be indifferent to fame and fortune, not be insulted, and do all this, only with a calm mind.
If life can be quiet, fame and fortune are nothing more than ethereal things, not to be alarmed, not to be sad, to not move and change, to calm down the fruitless attachment in the heart, so as to reduce the pain of life.
A young man is always persistently pursuing, many times he is in pain, obviously paid all the price, but never got the success he deserved, he regretted ah, hated, once sad and sinking, can not extricate himself.
A wise man enlightened him: "Your desires are too much, your mood is restless, just like a person carries too much baggage, he will definitely be bent over, it is better to calm down, look down on gains and losses, everything follows fate, do not force, so that you will find that you also have a happy day." ”
People, because of too much desire, make themselves lose the road of life, the original happiness, the original taste of life, all at this moment deteriorated. It is better to be quiet, it is better to look down on everything in silence, and jump out of the mixed desires, so that you can understand the true meaning of life.
03. Meditation is the beauty of all things, and is the highest state of life
The practice of tai chi emphasizes that the mind is as quiet as water, the unity of heaven and man, and only when you let yourself calm down can you melt into all things and thus exert infinite power.
In our quiet hearts, it is still as quiet as water, as warm as jade, and unshakable.
Whether in life or career, if you are quiet, everything is quiet, and if you are quiet, you will achieve all poetic beauty.
As described in this sentence: "The mountain light is pleasant to the birds, the shadows of the pond are empty, the poetic ink, the quiet and indifferent life, free and ethereal." ”
If the mind is not quiet, how beautiful the mountains are, no matter how agile the birds are, they are just a decoration in the irritable heart, the poetic picture is reduced to a hurried blindness, how can life be free and flowing, how can it be happy and happy?
Just like Lao He, he could have enjoyed the most beautiful old age, but unfortunately his heart was still not peaceful, he wanted to go further, and as a result, many projects were invested one by one failed, and the failure was even counted, but he could not think about it, once tangled, once sighed, resulting in his life covered with a dark color.
In his eyes, everything is just a monotonous and boring decoration, and if it is replaced by another person whose heart is as calm as water, it will be another scene, and it must be painted with the most beautiful colors.
Peace of mind is the beauty of all things, is the highest state of life, no matter at any time, we must maintain the peace of mind, the nature of the heart, not too much attachment, not too much sinking, indifferent to everything, so that we can be happy and happy, happy and healthy.
