There is a plot in the book "Distant Savior" that was not filmed in the TV series "The Way of Heaven", that is, Ding Yuanying and Rui Xiaodan's Middle East trip. When the two traveled in the Middle East, they met a lot and talked a lot. One of the details is a conversation between Ding and Rui in front of the wall of suffering.
Ding Yuanying asked Rui Xiaodan at this time: "Prayer is a part of the lives of people here, what do you say they are praying for?" ”
"Peace."
Ding Yuanying asked, "If you were God, what would you do to face Jerusalem?" ”
This time, Rui Xiaodan only said one word: "Cry." ”
Do you have any doubts at this time? If the people here pray for peace and desire peace, why hasn't God saved them yet? Why doesn't God bring peace to Jerusalem?
To answer this question, we may be able to draw some clues from the previous discussion between the two people.
Before coming to Jerusalem, Rui Xiaodan originally wanted to return to China quickly and meet Ding quickly. Dante insisted that she go to Jerusalem in the Middle East to see, but Rui was unwilling, and finally Ding "sent himself away", and Rui came to the Middle East and came to Jerusalem. In Jerusalem they have been discussing self-awareness, consciousness of him, about who should be a certain kind of person.
In other words, Ding is guiding Rui to explore his own value, guiding Rui to see his mind, and guiding Rui to understand his true nature. That is, how to live according to your own heart in the case of solving your own food and clothing.
So what should we do if our minds are blinded? Or how should people who grow up in a particular environment and form conceptual constraints see their minds? How should they live according to their hearts? Like these people in the book, they long for peace, but what is their approach?
Is it to choose the barrel of the gun to come out of power? Do you choose to bravely defend your rights? It is to choose the people to be the masters of their own country/
No, their choice is to go under the "wall of suffering" (called the "wall of weeping" in the book) to talk about their suffering, to tell God in their hearts about their misfortune, to express their misery by crying. Have they thought about changing in other ways? Or is there a way for them to achieve liberation in other ways?
The answer is no, and if they had, they wouldn't be what they are.
From the perspective of the entire novel, at the end of the entire novel, Liu Bing failed to change himself, trapped in his inherent cognition, and finally committed suicide by jumping off the building. As it is said throughout the novel, "I took a look at the well on my stomach" and then fell again. Then according to the logic in the book, if I myself have not changed my own concept, rash help will only be counterproductive.
And the people represented by Liu Bing, when Ding helped them before, their concepts collided, and the result of Ding's help was Liu Bing's resistance. Now consider Rui's answer, is it similar to the two?
