The Buddha said, "There are eight sufferings in life, birth suffering, old age suffering, sickness suffering, death suffering, love and separation suffering, resentment and hatred will be suffering, seeking no suffering, and the five yin and blazing suffering." ”
Life is inherently bitter, and the root of suffering is, in the final analysis, nothing more than the word "desire."
Between the world and the earth, suddenly like a long-distance traveler, each of us comes to this world, it is nothing more than a process, one day, we will say goodbye to everything in the world.
If so, why should we cling to it?
In this life and past life, it is just a dream, I am lucky, I lost my life.
Li Shangyin has a poem cloud "In the dust of the world, I would rather love and hate", for the vast world sea, each of us is just a grain of dust, so why bother with love and hate?
This poem is from his "Beiqingluo", read this poem, you can read life.
When it comes to Li Shangyin, many people will think of his "Untitled" group of poems, which are hazy and poignant, and people can't bear to read it.
Li Shangyin's life, whether it is love or career, has always been very bumpy, so many of his poems have an unspeakable helplessness.
"Can this be a memory? It was just that at that time, I was already confused", "it was useless to think straight, and it was not harmful to worry about it was crazy", "I knew that I was in love and looked forward to the sound of the river"...
This poem is different, this is written when he was a young man seeking immortals and seeking the Tao, when he went to the mountains to visit famous monks, he got the high monks to point out, and under the great enlightenment, he wrote this poem, and the last two sentences showed the obsession of many people.
The first couplet of poems points out the time and place.
As the sun set and dusk fell, he went alone to the mountains to visit the monks who lived in huts.
He does not say exactly who the monk whom the poet is looking for is, but from the "hut" and "lonely", it can be seen that this is a person who is willing to keep the poor and lonely.
The poet is a "loner", and he is looking for a "lone monk", and the collision of hearts begins.
He describes what he saw and felt on his way into the mountains.
The poet walked along the cold cloud-shrouded mountain road, stopping and looking around, only to see that the leaves were paved with mountain roads, and the monks' residence did not know where it was.
These two sentences further highlight the tranquility of the monk's residence through the two images of "falling leaves" and "cold clouds", and the poet twists up, not knowing how many times he has walked the mountain road, which is enough to see his ardent pursuit of Zen.
The neck link is written about what he saw and heard after he went to the monk's residence.
When night fell, he finally found the monk's hut, and instead of entering the house at once to talk to the monk, he stood quietly outside the house, leaning against a dead vine, listening to the sound of the rock coming from inside the house.
The sound of the rock after another, like the sound of Sanskrit in the sky, awakened the tranquility of the night and lit up the darkness of the night.
The poet closes his eyes, discards all distractions, and feels the sound of the Buddha that purifies the soul.
In this silent night, he leaned on the vine to listen to the chimes, and suddenly had an epiphany, "In the dust of the world, I would rather love and hate."
These two sentences are the poet's perceptions, which tell the obsession of many people.
After reading these two sentences, you can understand life.
Each of us is a grain of dust in the world, coming is accidental, going is inevitable, no need to cling, no need to complain, choose, work hard, insist, walk through, have a good conscience, as for the result is not important.
The world is vast, time is limited, there are many glory and withering, and it is difficult to gain and lose.
May we all enjoy the prosperity of thousands of years with the most relaxed attitude, and smile at the passage of time.
