Gaining inches is the inferior nature of human beings, and all troubles are due to greed.
Learn to let go properly, and not to take too much, in order to maintain a good state of mind.
Because of Lotte, so free; because of knowing fate, so smooth.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > desirable and undesirable</h1>
Wang Yangming said: "The one who wants is my thing and must not be lost; the one who cannot be desired is not my thing, and cannot be kept." ”
He proposed that to be a human being, we must know how to "live for our lives."
The so-called "fate" means to obey the mandate of heaven and not to be impatient, not excessive, and not to be demanding.
As the saying goes: sometimes there must be something in fate, and there is no time to demand it in fate.
What should be yours cannot be run away; what should not be yours, cannot be asked.
The reason why people are unhappy is because they are always worried about those who do not belong to them.
Don't deliberately calculate gains and losses, and don't ask for too much from life.
Contentment is the ability to be happy.
Live in the moment and believe that everything is the best arrangement.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > to remove human desires and understand heavenly reason</h1>
Wang Yangming said: "If you go to get people's desires, you will know heavenly reason." ”
Only by alleviating the excessive desires in the heart (here "human desire" means "undesirable") can we understand that the heavenly path is constant, and that some things are not subject to human will.
Everything in the world has its laws:
Water flows on the ground and does not deliberately choose the path;
The leaves sway in the branches and do not fight against the power of the wind.
Everything in nature knows how to go with the flow.
And it is not easy for a person to go with the flow.
Zhuang Zi said: "If money is not accumulated, the greedy are worried; if the power is not particularly powerful, the exaggerated are sad." ”
Those who pursue money always feel that money has not accumulated enough, and they cannot satisfy greed and feel sad;
People who pursue status always feel that the position is not high enough to boast to people and secretly grieve.
Because of greed, people want to grasp more things, but they also lose what they originally have.
In this way, there are bound to be endless troubles.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > subtract, not increase</h1>
The Buddha said that people have seven sufferings: birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love and separation, and unavoidable.
The so-called suffering of "not being able to ask for it" is that when people don't get it, their hearts are particularly tormented.
Wang Yangming believes that people should "seek to reduce, not to increase."
Asking for very little and getting too much is a bonus;
Asking for too much and getting very little is a loss.
Liu Zongyuan once wrote a "Biography of a Scorpion":
A scorpion is a small insect that is good at carrying things.
In the process of crawling, no matter what it encounters, it will grab it and carry it on its back.
Sometimes people see that it is pitiful, so they remove the debris on its back.
But as long as it still has a trace of strength, it still has to keep grabbing things.
Carrying more and more things, heavier and heavier, the scorpions eventually fell to the ground tired.
Just like cockroaches, gaining inches is also the inferior nature of human beings.
Grasp a handful of sand with your hand, and the tighter you grasp it, the more it will leak between your fingers.
Conversely, if you loosen your clenched fist, you will get more instead.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > life to reach its destiny and sprinkle itself</h1>
"The Middle Way" says: "To be rich and noble is to be rich; to be rich is to be rich; to be rich is to be rich; to be rich and to be rich is to be rich; to be rich and to be rich is to be rich; to be rich and to be rich is to ”
To be born rich is to do what the rich and the rich should do; to be born poor, to do what the poor should do.
Wang Yangming said: "Life reaches its destiny, and it spills itself." ”
In life, the poor and the rich have their own destiny, but our hearts are victorious in freedom.
Happiness has no fixed answer, the key lies in the attitude towards life.
Everyone has a circle in their life, do not have to compare with others, cherish everything they have.
Wanyuan has nothing to do with his heart, and everything must be asked inward.
Where the heart is wide, there can be laughter in the hut; when the heart is narrow, there will be weeping in the palace.
Only by not asking for it can we have no credit and no debt.
With a quiet and indifferent heart, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and look at the clouds in the sky.
