Inner feelings affect our feelings about the outside world, there is no absolute good or bad situation, the heart is good, the world is safe.
There is no absolute right or wrong in ideas, but once they become the shackles of physical and mental freedom, they must be broken, and this is the correct understanding, which evokes the breakthrough power in people's hearts.
Human life is always limited, but in a limited time but want to occupy more, which brings endless pressure and trouble to life, as a method of self-help of the mind, Zen makes people turn their attention to other conveniences in life, Zen let people learn to immerse themselves in the things they like, and enjoy this feeling of "like" with their hearts. Only when the heart is filled with emotions, life will not be stiff and pale, and at that time, we will no longer think of possession, but enjoyment and giving.
The same is the encounter with failures and setbacks, some people see only the superficial success or failure, some people see the strength of others and their own weakness, some people see the pain and struggle of life. And what do Zen people see? What he saw was the courage to fall down and stand up again in the face of failure and setbacks, because he knew that this courage would always enable him to meet more challenges with confidence, regardless of whether it was success or failure.
We must look at the problem with a comprehensive vision, including looking at ourselves. This is like a person with inferiority, if he has been focusing on his shortcomings and faults, then his inferiority psychology will always be aggravated, but if he can see his own strengths and see his other advantages, then he will come out of the shadow of inferiority and walk in the right position.
Once a monk lamented in the face of the thin branches and the fallen leaves on the ground, but his brother cried out in succession. The monk in front of him saw only dead leaves on the ground, while his brother saw that they would flourish again in the spring of the following year. In the face of life, people always have some confidence and hope, there is light in your heart, why worry about the lack of light on the road of life? If you have a landscape in your heart, life is full of scenery.
The beauty of life requires us to devote ourselves to it to discover, and in the same way, to understand a person, we should first let go of all kinds of stereotypes and judgments, and communicate with them with sincerity in order to gain something. Modern people can't always adapt well in interpersonal relationships, probably because we have too many things in our hearts, such as arrogance, vanity, selfishness, etc. If we can't empty these distractions, we can't feel the beauty of life well, and we can't communicate with others smoothly.
People should have their own opinions, but they must not be stubborn, otherwise they will be bound and bound by their own opinions and trapped in their own world. What's more, can you guarantee that your opinion must be correct? Even if it is correct, it always holds under certain conditions. Only by keeping the mind open and the independence of the mind can one's own insight into things become more and more profound.
If you want to taste delicious fruit, you have to grow or buy, and if you want to achieve a certain achievement, you have to work hard. Wise people plant trees to pick fruits, while people who lack wisdom cut down trees and pick fruits. A person who guides his life with a Zen mind will never see only the immediate benefits and cut off the fundamentals of life, he will see not only the present, but also the future.
Putting some salt in the food can make the food more delicious, but if you put too much, then the food can't be eaten at all. Doing anything is like this, and once you are unrestrained and go to extremes, you will make things change in another direction. From a Zen mindset, don't try too hard to be perfect, because it's too late, and because the process of doing things hard is more important than the perfect result.
Be quiet so that you can be fearless. We usually feel fear because we have too many things to worry about, and from the Zen point of view, it is because there are too many obstacles in the mind, and the obstacles come from attachment. But in life, it is difficult not to invest emotions in the people, things and things around us, and it is inevitable that we will be hindered. But after all, Zen has a wonderful use in guiding life, it tells us that when we invest in emotions, if we can think of the world's events gathering and dispersing, and adjust our thoughts and actions in line with the changes in the outside world, then we can have fewer obstacles in our hearts and less fear.
One day, Huang Tingjian climbed the mountain with Zu Xin Zen Master, but Huang Tingjian frowned all the way. Zen Master Zuxin said, "We all smell the flowers and see the beautiful scenery, but you and I feel very differently." You are bored inside, and when you see the beautiful scenery, you say that the beautiful scenery is tasteless. I feel at ease inside, even if it is an ordinary scene, I feel like it. It can be seen that the inner feelings affect our feelings about the outside world, so there is no absolute good or bad situation, and if the heart is good, the world is good.
A monk asked his teacher, "Why do you have to adjust the strings when you play the piano?" His teacher replied, "Only when the strings are adjusted so that they are not loose or tight can the various sounds be coordinated, so that they can play beautiful music." This truth can also be applied to our lives, and only by keeping our body and mind in a moderate state can we feel the beauty of life.
