There is a temple built around the water in the mountain, and the temple is inhabited by two monks, one old and one young.
The story of "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring" began in this temple with only one Buddhist hall.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > spring, everything grows, desire arises</h1>
The first time the gates opened, it was a vibrant spring.
The little monk was still an innocent child.
The little monk grew up in the temple since he was a child, and on this day, the little monk who could not stand the Qing cultivation invented a new game.
He tied the stone to one end of the rope and the fish, the frog and the snake to the other, and he was very happy to see the fish tied to the stone swimming hard in the water, the frogs could no longer jump up, and the snake dragged the stone and could not even lift its head.
The old monk on the side saw this scene and did not stop the little monk, but silently walked away and returned to the temple.
That night, the old monk learned what the little monk did during the day and tied a stone to the little monk's body.
The next morning, the little monk staggered out, because the stone was so heavy that the little monk struggled to stand.
The little monk said to the old monk: I was wrong.
The old monk untied the stone for him, but in contrast, the little monk also had to untie the stone for the little animal he had tied to the stone yesterday.
When the little monk came to the place where he had played yesterday, he found that the animals that he had tied to the stone, except for the frogs, were still alive, and the fish and snakes had been dead for a long time.
The little monk saw that these lives had died because of his own momentary greed, and he cried with sadness.
This spring, the old monk did not use a word to make the little monk feel the same way, knowing that he had wrong to base his happiness on the suffering of others.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > summer, hot and dry, desire to grow</h1>
The door of the temple was pushed open again, and it was already many years later in the summer, and the little monk had grown into a stunned youth.
This summer, a mother and daughter came to the temple, the daughter looked beautiful but slightly sick, the mother left the daughter to ask the Buddha for treatment, and she left the temple herself.
The little monk, who had never seen a woman, was so excited that he covered the girl with a quilt, secretly watched the girl fall asleep when he slept, and even put his hand into the girl's quilt while the girl was asleep.
The young couple who lived together day and night had a long-term relationship, and the little monk could not control his desire to break the color ring.
Since then, the little monk and the girl have grasped every minute and every second and enjoyed the world of the two.
On this day, the old monk found that the young monk and the girl had not returned for the night, and went out to find them sleeping in the boat.
The old monk pulled the boat to shore, put the rooster on the boat, and pulled the plug from the bottom of the boat, and the two sleeping people were awakened by the water.
The little monk said to the old monk again: I was wrong.
The old monk just put the girl who had changed her appearance back to the bottom of the mountain, leaving the little monk who knew the taste of the marrow to clean up in the temple.
At night, the little monk who was obsessed with girls wrapped up a Buddha statue and took the chickens in the temple down the mountain to find the girl.
The old monk knew that the little monk was leaving, but he did not stop him, but only sighed lightly.
The little monk who had no Buddha in his heart took away a Buddha statue and thought that the Buddha statue was the enlightenment of meditation.
The reason why the old monk did not dissuade the young monk was because he knew that the demons in his heart could only be broken by himself, and only through hardships could he usher in a change.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > autumn, autumn wind, desire to harvest</h1>
When the gates of the temple are opened again, it is already autumn when the maple leaves are red.
The old monk returned with a cat and a newspaper, and in the corner was written the news that the little monk had killed and absconded, and attached a picture of the little monk now.
The little monk returned to the temple again, no longer in the form of a monk, his face was full of dust, his eyes were fierce, and he was guilty, but the Buddha statue was still the same.
This time, the little monk did not admit his mistake, but the old monk opened his mouth first: It seems that the worldly life has made you miserable.
The little monk said this, because the person he loved ran away with someone else, he killed people in anger, and now he ran back to the temple to hide.
The little monk stabbed himself in the ground with a bloody knife, and he tried to kill himself by sealing his facial features.
The old monk who saw this hung up the little monk and hit him with a stick, but he still couldn't get rid of the anger in his heart.
In order to make the little monk calm down, the old monk had to use the cat's tail as a pen to write the Heart Sutra on the ground, and let the little monk use the knife to carve out the Heart Sutra.
At this time, the two policemen who were pursuing the young monk also came to the temple, and the old monk asked the police to wait for him to finish carving the Heart Sutra before taking him away.
With the help of the police and the old monk, the little monk carved the Heart Sutra all night, and when it was almost dawn, the little monk's heart was already calm, and he also lay on the edge of the Heart Sutra and slept deeply.
The old monk and the police painted the heart sutra with paint.
The little monk woke up, calmly bid farewell to the old monk, and left the temple with the cat and the police.
After the little monk left, the old monk sealed the five senses and sat on the boat to light a fire and die.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > winter, frozen for thousands of miles, desire purification</h1>
The temple gate opened again, and it was already winter when the snow closed the mountain.
The little monk returned from prison and was already a middle-aged monk.
He chiseled open the ice surface, wrapped the old monk's house in red cloth, and put it into the eyebrow of the ice sculpture Buddha statue.
I began my life of asceticism day after day.
At this time, a masked woman came to the temple with her child in her arms.
In the middle of the night, the woman left the child and secretly left by herself, but she fell into the ice cave.
The child was thus adopted by the monk and became the new little monk in the temple.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > another spring, a new cycle, a new desire</h1>
The door opened again, and it was spring again.
The abandoned child has grown to the age of the little monk, and unlike the little monk who tied stones to the small animals, today's children personally block the mouth of the fish.
The young monk who grew into an old monk, like the old monk of that year, turned around and left silently.
New reincarnation, new cause and effect, only the Buddha statue silently looks at everything in the temple at the top of the mountain.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > written at the end</h1>
We all know to control desires, but before we did, we didn't know how to reject and couldn't control them.
Only after experiencing it will you let nature control your desires.
In this "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring", desire will also sprout, grow, harvest, and pass away with the four seasons, only there is light in the heart, and the desire hidden in the heart is invisible.
We were all little monks at the mercy of desire, but the demons in our hearts are not terrible, they only amplify our inner desires little by little.
With good thoughts in mind and learning to let go, there will be a new cycle of reincarnation.
Don't be blinded by greed, anger, and delusion, in order to find the original heart and find the most simple happiness.
