Re-enlightenment of the "Four Truths"
One person and one heaven, too, everyone has a life of their own. Some people live wonderfully, some people live mediocre; some people are fierce, some people only promise; some people are wise, some people are pedantic; the so-called one yin and one yang are the way. There must be a positive and a negative, there must be a gentleman and a villain, and the guest teacher's song recipe: there are ten directions up and down, coming and going without end. The plates and plates are stacked on top of each other, and the palace is a big world.
A few days ago, a brother in the group shared the fact that he was attacked by evil dogs, and this brother extended to the topic of events and how to cultivate the four correctness, and the answer given by a brother was: Repay the grievance with virtue, why repay the virtue? Repaying virtue with virtue and complaining directly, I deeply believe it. More than 2,000 years ago, Kong Shengren had already clearly explained how to repay virtue and complain, but unfortunately, there were many pedantic Confucians in the future, which were misinterpreted as "repaying grievances with virtue". Is the inheritance biased? Or did the ruler do it on purpose? I do not examine it here, but I believe that direct resentment does not conflict with the four positives.
My advice to the brother was: Xingsi is inwardly inward, there is no need to stick to small sections, and when the evil dog attacks and disturbs, directly take the dog dry, if the force is not caught, avoid it first. I think this is in line with "changing with the body, straightening the body", and the four are not empty slogans, but should guide people's behavior. The "right body" should adjust its behavior according to the development and change of things, so as to achieve the transformation of the body. But this "change" still has to be understood with the heart, how to know the change? Zhou Yiqian said in a word
"Knowing to the extreme, can be with several" emphasis on a "know" word. The guest master song "The wise man only needs to discern the machine, and the child does not ask the Ming Dynasty doubts" can be known to change. We can't mechanically imitate others, we can't learn our own brains stiffly, we must learn the four zheng into our own bodies, penetrate into the bones and blood, and take the Tiangang Dun as a part of life, sincerely and exclusively. Master said it well, take Tiangang as his lover, think of him every day, every hour, every moment, and want to hug him.
I have loved to read Water Margin since I was a child, and the favorite of the characters in it is the flower monk Lu Zhishen, and here I would like to associate him with Tiangang Shuo and provide some references for Xingsi Zheng. Lu Zhishen is an early character in the Water Margin, which sets the heroic tone of the 108 generals of the Water Margin, and although the book of the Water Margin is written about bandits, the rulers have not seriously forbidden it, and I think it has a lot to do with the recognition of the values of justice, the yearning for humanity, and the desire for freedom highlighted in this book. Liangshan 108 general is not everyone is a good man, everyone is a hero, but Lu Zhishen is recognized as the first hero and good man, he is reckless on the outside, kind in heart, and can not see the weak being bullied.
He roared unevenly, never considered the consequences for himself, never sought for his own people, because he was "not afraid" and "did not hide", saw the righteous courage to kill the town of Kansai with three fists, and also changed the fate of his life, he had a good military future, with his ability and personality suitable for being an officer, but he did not regret it in his life, even if he had many opportunities to become a high official, but he recognized the identity of a monk, and finally cultivated the right results. When he was an officer, no one thought that he would become a monk, no one who did a monk did not expect him to achieve positive results, he killed people and set fires, drank wine and ate meat, did not read the sutra for a day, but the ending was happy, and when he thought about it carefully, he had a deep philosophy and great wisdom in life. He was at Mount Wutai and at the Great Xiangguo Temple, and the monks of the temple did not want to see him.
Only his master, Elder Zhizhen, thought that he was the most Buddha-like, and arranged a place for him to stay many times, and wrote four proverbs for him: "Every summer capture, meet Lazhi, listen to the tide and be round, see the letter and be silent" He had not read the book and knew through the explanations of other monks that "round silence" was the meaning of death, and calmly clapped his hands and smiled, bathed and changed clothes, burned incense and sat down. In the letter to Song Jiang, he wrote: In his life, he does not cultivate good fruits, only loves to kill people and set fires, suddenly opens the golden rope, here he breaks the jade lock, the tide letter on the Qiantang River comes, and today Fang knows that I am me.
Compared with the other good men in Liangshan who conquered Fang la, the death of the battle, the death of the sick, the death of the scattered, Lu Zhishen's ending was the most satisfactory. The monks of the Five Mountains and Ten Brakes in Jiangnan chanted the sutra for him, and the Zen master Dahui personally wrote: Get up from the green forest, two eyes set fire, and a murderous heart. Suddenly, I went with the tide, and sure enough, there was nowhere to be found. The solution makes the sky full of white jade, and can make the earth golden. Lu Zhishen's life is simple and simple, not aggrieved and stretched, not ostentatious and cramped, acting spontaneously, jealousy like a vendetta, not hiding, not afraid, not regretting when things happen, it is precisely in this way that he can become a Buddha.
Some people may have questioned when writing this: What does this have to do with the fourth line? Many people in the world who do good deeds donate money, do not kill, buy small animals to release, burn incense and worship the Buddha, and do good deeds, I think this is only a part of the good, it is a formal good. The heaven and earth universe has its own avenue of operation, and it cannot be said that wolves eating sheep is evil, and tiger breeding cubs is good. The greatest goodness is the trigram of Qiangua: Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen, Yuan's goodness is also one of the four righteous positions. The greatest good is the birth of life, the opportunity to give life to all things, and not only to do good, but also to punish evil.
