Wang Shiduan, a Qing dynasty man, said:
"Since ancient times, there has been no other way for immortals, only joy and no sorrow. ”
Recently, the Shaolin Master invited everyone to dance together, attracting hundreds of thousands of onlookers.
Seeing the laughing master step by step, high-fives and happy, the state of joy and intoxication stirred our tense nerves.
Urban neon, twilight street lights. All the way to the hustle and bustle, all the way to the dust.
In this era of increasingly fast-paced life, "relaxation" seems to be a bit difficult to find.
A glass of turbid wine asks the heart alone, where is the dust not stained with cold?
In the dead of night, when joy and sorrow are separated, I always want to find a place of joy, relaxation, and peace of mind.
01
Truth, looking for joy
The ancients paid attention to "preserving one's nature and cultivating the truth." ”
Lao Tzu once exhorted the world to be like Puyu, always maintaining the simple and true nature.
But in this world, how much truth is there?
The Buddha said that sentient beings are upside down, and most of the people in the world have lost their true self in the illusion of the world, suffering from gains and losses, and living a confused and powerless life.
Cartoonist Cai Zhizhong said: Everyone's identity is made by themselves, and if you live it truthfully, you will inevitably get a real ending.
This sentence is also a true appraisal of his own life. He is obsessed with studying Buddha statues at work, and he is even more concerned with Buddha nature in his life.
The Buddhist comics he created, "Comic Heart Sutra", "Buddha Said", and "Diamond Sutra", Master Xingyun was amazed after reading it, and commented:
"Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats...... When it comes to his brushwork, whether he is silent or silent, chanting or singing, his vivid expressions and peaceful temperament all make the viewer naturally happy. ”
In the real realm, I am happy to see it. People are true, and so is hearts. If the heart is true, you will be happy.
"Every piece of wood can become a Buddha, as long as the excess is removed. ”
Only by returning to the true can we see ourselves clearly.
"Tao Te Ching" has a saying: "Cultivating in the body, its virtue is true".
02
Slow environment, looking for relaxation
I remember a time management expert who said:
"We are in an era where health is sold to time and stress. ”
Everyone's day is like a war, and there is a shortage of soldiers. When we are exhausted by life, life has left us.
As everyone knows, the quality of life never lies in fast, but slow.
Life is in a slow situation, and only then can we find relaxation.
Jiang Xun once said: Only by slowing down can we discover the beauty of life.
Feng Zikai writes about the sun very slowly, really slowly.
He traveled back and forth between Hangzhou and Shimen, and others traveled for two or three hours, but he chose to take a boat and spend two or three days.
Because you can enjoy the scenery during the day, you can go ashore at night to hang out, and you can have fun for a day if you are in good spirits.
Other people's journey is "rushing", his journey is enjoyment, and he feels that such slowness is better than the meaning of arrival.
A person, in a pure time, lives unhurriedly. It can make people calm down and think about what life should look like.
The day is slowing down, the grass and trees are beautiful, the soil is breathing, and the birds and beasts are affectionate. A flower and a tree, a drink and a peck, you can taste the good taste of life.
The years are long, people, slow down to live.
Yang Jiang once said:
"We were so eager for the waves of fate, only to find out in the end that the most beautiful scenery in life is actually the calmness and calmness of the heart. ”
03
Simplicity, looking for peace of mind
Lao Tzu said: The road is simple, and the enlightened are natural.
There are three thousand prosperous in the world, and it is simple after all.
Thoreau, the author of Walden, was exhausted by the tremendous pressure of his work. Overwhelmed, he decisively dropped everything, took an axe, and became neighbors with Walden.
He cut down trees and built houses on Walden, chopping firewood, fetching water, plowing and harvesting every day......
It seems to be bitter, but the heart is extremely down-to-earth.
In his book, he wrote:
"Cleanly remove everything that does not belong to life, and simplify it to the most basic form, simple, simple, and simple. ”
Life is like a boat, and if there is too much load, it will inevitably run aground.
Only in a simple realm can we find peace of mind.
We discard the unimportant 90% of our lives, and the remaining 10% will make us gain more.
There is a saying: only by throwing away what you can see can you change the world that you can't see.
In fact, the higher the level of life, the simpler the life. The richer the heart, the simpler the life.
The writer Sanmao once wrote: "I don't seek profundity, only simplicity." ”
The world is complicated, and only by maintaining a simple indifference can we find a pure land for the soul.
The heart is everywhere, everywhere.
For the rest of our lives, half a light of time, may we all be ferrymen of our own souls.
The heart is really slow and the heart is simple, and everything in the world is beautiful.
