- Mencius, "Leaving Lou Zhang sentences"
In the dusty world, everyone values time very much, because time is money, almost to the point where no one is willing to sacrifice a little time for others.
Everyone changes in time, and the most common change is from a poetic and leisurely mind to an ordinary vulgar and helpless, from a sensitivity to the timing of human feelings to an indifference to everything.
We stare at the eyes of the board in the stock number, which used to be the eyes of the clouds, the mountains, and the water;
We sign the hands of the lottery, which used to be the hands that wrote love letters and poems;
The feet we are running for money, the feet that used to walk on the seashore and the wilderness.
Our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body still look the same as they did twenty years ago, but in essence, sometimes the night mirror can no longer see their connection.
What is the idealistic, perfection-seeking me, where every pore is full of brilliance?
The Qing Dynasty poet Zhang Can has a short poem:
Calligraphy and painting piano and chess poetry hops, when the pieces did not leave him.
Now the seven things have changed, chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea.
From "calligraphy and painting, piano, chess, poetry and hops" to "chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea", people's hearts must be, after a great turmoil and revolution, but mortals often unconsciously introspect and let vulgarity turn.
Liang Qichao has a "Water Tune Song Head", the second half of which is:
A thousand golden swords, a thousand words, two stumbles. Drunk in the wall to talk to themselves, after waking up a torrent. Don't hate the years to go also, only afraid of the young heart, strong half for consumption. May the sick for all beings, the head of the liturgy of Vimal.
The encounters of life are not afraid of old age, afraid of the "consumption" of teenagers' hearts, and in the end there is only "a tuotuo after waking up".
On the road of life, most of the promising young people want to "serve tea" for society, the world, and mankind, but unfortunately, most of them have returned to their homes to drink tea for the elderly.
There are also some people who are not even interested in drinking the old man's tea.
Sociologists divide society into youth society, middle-aged society, and elderly society, and some young society is "enthusiastic" and some elderly society is "calm".
We happen to be a middle-aged society, and some are "pragmatic".
Pragmatism is not bad, but if there is no calm attitude to life, with a sentient embrace, pragmatic to the end, it is exactly chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea, sacrificing calligraphy and painting, chess, poetry and hops.
A thoroughly pragmatic person is a half-dead layman, and a society that only knows the practice of fame and fortune is a rigid vulgar society.
The dialogue between the Zen master and a master who speaks the Huayan Sutra is recorded in the Quotations of the Zen Master Dazhu, which allows us to see how important it is to have a sentient and calm mind.
The master asked Zen Master Dazhu Huihai: Is the Zen master a Buddha who believes in ruthlessness?
Dazhu replied: I don't believe it. If the ruthless are Buddhas, the living should be inferior to the dead; the dead donkey and the dead dog should be better than the living.
Jing Yun: The Buddha-body, that is, the Dharma-body, is born from the precepts of wisdom, from the three ming and six tongs, and from all the good Dharma. If it is said that the ruthless is a Buddha, the great virtue is now dead and should go as a Buddha.
This shows that the Zen mind is sentient, not ignorant and insensitive, and the same is true when applied to our actual lives.
The whole process of life is continuous and uninterrupted, and in middle age, life is often entangled in a mess.
Many people are afraid of such chaos, so they use the color of golden wine to suppress it, trying to use material pursuits to anesthetize the mental stagnation.
In fact, it is not necessary to do so, if you can have a more relaxed mood, a more affectionate mind, you can pull out the chaotic line and sort out.
See how we are lost, the pursuit of the ideals of youth; see clearly what motives we are on, beginning the race for material power.
Then think about it: What is the happiness I want? What was the happiness I had in mind at first? Why is my fluctuating heart no longer vibrating? How did I end up in this ancient well?
Even if man's living conditions can only be like animals, man should not live like an animal without human affection, calmness, gentleness and dignity.
In the midst of the sorrows and sorrows of the Chinese past, the reason why Chinese has not lost its essence comes from this simple idea: people should live like individuals!
Human poverty does not come from the hardships of life, but from the loss of human dignity in a poor life;
Man's wealth does not come from the accumulation of wealth, but from the sentient beings who do not lose people in a rich life.
Man's wealth is actually the manifestation of certain noble substances in man's soul.
In the busy and turning world, there are still people who live calmly, that is, "people who are not confused in the world."
No matter how the times change, there will always be some outstanding people in the times, just as no matter how the mountains and forests change, there will always be some birds in the mountains and forests.
