Except for the pain that a person feels when he is sick, all other pains are self-inflicted.
When I first heard this sentence, I was very angry, and it was not until I heard it ten times that I realized that it made perfect sense.
The reason why people are suffering is because they feel pain, and there are many kinds of pain, the pain of being sick, the pain of losing a loved one, and the pain of being troubled.
There is no way to resolve the pain of being sick, only to bear it yourself, let alone empathize, therefore, pain is pain, and it is also real pain.
The pain of losing a loved one is really painful, it hurts so much that you can't breathe, it hurts so much that you turn white overnight, and it hurts so much that you want to go along, because of the loss of your loved ones, life is boring.
These pains are indeed very painful, but it is the law of nature that people come and go, everyone has to leave, and time cannot be calculated, the biggest difference between ordinary people and Buddhas is nostalgia for Hongchen, enlightenment is too poor, but everyone is an ordinary person, and cognition and understanding cannot reach this height, so it will be very painful.
Even if you know that you can only rely on yourself in this life, you will still pin your hopes on others, even if you understand that people will leave in this life, you will still be reluctant and worried.
Everyone wants to be a person who is affectionate and righteous, and they don't want to be a person who is cold in other people's mouths, everyone is very proud, but they just can't let go, and they are worried that outsiders will judge themselves, so they will be miserable.
Everyone has troubles and regrets that can't be crossed, but some people can live happily, and some people will be depressed, punish themselves and their families with other people's mistakes.
There was a farmer who planted an apple tree in his house, and when the fruit was ripe, the farmer took out the apples that looked very good and sold them, leaving the apples that were in poor condition and damaged to be kept for himself.
I believe that most people will hope with the farmer that you will start with the bad fruit and eat the good fruit last, but you don't know that the speed of eating the fruit cannot keep up with the speed of the apple being spoiled, so that the apple is eaten and all you eat is bad.
Some people will start with the big, round apples, and they will pick out the bad apples and put them aside, and the bad ones will be picked out, or they will throw them all away, because there are so many good fruits that they can't eat them all, so they don't have to start eating the bad ones.
Everyone has troubles, reconciliation is not to learn, learn to let go, learn to live, learn to forgive, learn to understand, learn to get along with society, learn to be ordinary and calm, it is really not difficult, life is just three things, your own business, other people's business, God's business, and what you have to do is to go with the flow and face it calmly!
Life is short for decades, there really is no need to be too serious, the vast stars are just a speck of dust under the microscope, the vast starry sky, we are all passing by.
