Tang Ruoxin learns original works, and those who violate them will be investigated
People who are really powerful often see their lives as practices. When we treat our lives as practice, you may understand that the truly powerful do not see anything as harm to themselves, but on the contrary, they will see their own thoughts through everything, so as to adjust their lives.
If we want to practice our own lives and change our destiny, remember the two higher dimensions, the better you do, the better your life will be.
The first high-level dimension, looking inward
If we want to make our lives better and better, remember a very key point of mind learning, which is that the world you see is a projection of your heart.
The essence of inward cultivation is to see our own impulses, to see that what we are doing is to prove ourselves, or to be for the whole.
If what you do is to help more people, to improve the happiness of others, to liberate others from their suffering, then your life will get better and better.
Inward cultivation is to abstain from greed and anger in our lives, not to have excessive greed, not to complain, and not to blame others.
When there is no greed and anger in you, your heart will gain great peace and tranquility, and naturally your heart will become very strong.
The root of a person's strength is because of inner peace. When you are at peace with your heart, you can see all the people. When you are not impatient, not impetuous, your heart can know what you are going to do.
Many times, what affects us strongly is the various emotions within us, especially negative emotions, whether it is self-aggression or self-doubt and guilt, etc. When we are controlled by negative emotions, our hearts are like a tight curse, and we can't move at all.
And to observe our own impulses is to see if our lives are self-attacked, and when we let go of self-aggression, our lives can become flexible.
Hurting our lives is often our inner self-attack, external things are just some introductions, when we attack ourselves through external things, this is what we need to pay the most attention to, observing the heartbeat is to correct our consciousness from the source, so that our lives can restore the vitality of exploration.
One of my trainees once told me that every time she was in the office, she always thought that others looked down on her, so she was very uncomfortable in the office.
When she came to me for consultation, I told her that her attack on herself was too strong, that what we needed to look up to in the world was ourselves, and when you no longer looked down on yourself, you would not be afraid of other people's words, but very calmly.
In fact, the emphasis of nothing outside the mind is that the external world we see is a reflection of our inner world, and if a person is lacking inside, then the outer world is often full of ups and downs and setbacks.
When your inner lack is solved, your external lack will also be solved. The root of inward seeking is to solve the inner scarcity, so that our external life can be opened.
The second high-level dimension, outward repair
In the process of growing up in life, we will encounter many people attacking and attacking us, and we will also encounter many unsatisfactory things.
The essence of outward cultivation is to cultivate oneself through external things, to change oneself from a hedgehog to a more mellow person.
When you understand that external things are to cultivate you, your inner life will continue to open. The essence of outward cultivation is to know that the inside and outside are one, and there is not much difference between the inside and the outside, and we will understand that when you are internally stable, external humiliation will not affect you at all.
People who are really strong inside deeply understand that outward cultivation is to see what their inner world is like from the outside. The better your inner world is, the more we will be free from the influence of the outside world.
The more unstable you are inside, the world outside of us is like a storm. For example, Su Dongpo once had a story with a Buddhist Zen master, Su Dongpo once asked the Buddha Seal, what do you think I am like, and the Buddha Seal said that I think you are like the Buddha.
And Buddha Yin asked Su Dongpo, what do you think I look like, and Su Dongpo said I think you are like a pile of cow dung. Then Su Dongpo smiled, and the Buddha Seal did not have a little sadness, and smiled without speaking.
Later, when she returned home, Su Dongpo told her sister about this matter, and Su Xiaomei was also a talented woman. Su Xiaomei said, Brother, you don't want to be confused, in fact, you have already lost.
The Buddha seal says that you are a Buddha because he has a Buddha in his heart, so he sees that anyone is a Buddha. And you have cow dung in your heart, and you take the Buddha seal as cow dung.
After Su Xiaomei finished speaking, Su Dongpo felt particularly ashamed, and only then did he know that he had completely lost. To learn to be strong inside is to learn to be unmoving, and the more complete you are inside, the less you will be hit by external criticism and evaluation.
The more vulnerable you are inside, the more susceptible you are to external influences. So the powerful essence comes from our inner fullness of mind.
When the mind is complete, it will realize that everyone has their own wisdom roots, and everyone will make the best choice for themselves. When you understand this truth, you will not be affected by the outside world, but will really be harmonious, and even affect the lives of others.
The real sense of strength is to see our inner state through the outside, if our mind is not round enough, we will feel the external constraints everywhere, when your inner mind is more and more sufficient, we can fully mobilize our lives.
The essence of life is a process of creation and witnessing, but in fact, many people's lives are constantly shrinking in self-fear and self-fear.
When we return to the essence of life, we will understand that not being affected by external things is what we have to do all the time, to get rid of the influence of external states, but to focus on the creation of life, and our lives will be more prosperous.
Truly powerful people will always focus their lives on creation and growth, rather than on internal friction and internal involvement, when you can get rid of the external influence on you and maintain a good state, I believe that your inner nature will become stronger and stronger.
