In the twelfth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Liang Yuehu and Ye Gongzi, two scholars from Taining County, Shaowu Prefecture, Fujian Province, went to Danxia Temple to meet a walking monk. However, the monk refused to measure the future for them and left behind a mysterious poem. Unable to understand the meaning of the poem, they decided to ask the monk again. However, when they arrived at the temple, they learned that the monk had left. A few months later, when the fire broke out, Ye Gongzi was unfortunately killed, while Liang Yuehu was injured. During his recuperation, Liang Yuehu finally understood the meaning of the poems left by the monks, and realized that their fate had already been predicted.
This story shows the impermanence of fate and the pursuit of fate by people. The idiot monk predicted the ownership of the throne: During the Kangxi period, a monk named the idiot monk appeared in the city of Beijing. He behaves strangely and often says things that are incomprehensible, but often comes true accurately. This led people to call him a foolish monk. One day, Emperor Yongzheng met a foolish monk and tentatively asked him about inheriting the throne. The idiot monk's answer made Yongzheng frightened. It wasn't until Yongzheng ascended the throne that he understood that Kangxi had already determined the heir at that time, and he just hid the edict somewhere in the palace.
The story shows the uncertainty in the power struggle and the pursuit of the future. Both stories involve the search and prediction of people's fate. Monks and monks, as prophets, gave people enlightenment for the future in different ways. Their words and demeanor may seem absurd, but they contain profound truths. People often seek predictions and the revelation of fate, hoping to find a silver lining in the fog. However, fate is often unpredictable, and sometimes people are looking for answers that are already predestined but they don't realize it. This kind of pursuit of destiny is a story that is not uncommon in history.
People are always trying to predict the future in various ways, hoping to be able to grasp the context of fate. However, fate is often unknowable, and it is intertwined by a myriad of factors and coincidences. Therefore, we cannot rely solely on predictions and prophecies, but should cherish the present moment and strive to change our destiny. In this uncertain world, we should cherish and pay more attention to our choices and actions. Whether it is a high monk or an idiot monk, their prophecies only provide a reference, not a decisive fate. We should believe in our own abilities and wisdom and shape our future through hard work and decision-making.
Finally, I would like to ask readers a question: do you believe in fate? Have you ever had an experience similar to the prophecy of a monk and a monk? Please share your stories and perspectives.
