This era should be calm, "people are not as good as heaven." Everyone who indulges in desire feels how blessed he is and how long he lives. But look how many things are around us now, thirty or forty years old, cancer. He was shocked by the impermanence of many lives. But the result is my own feeling. Who is to blame?
The way to preserve one's health is the three treasures that Laozi talked about. "Benevolence", compassion, compassionate people live long, and benevolent people live long. "Thrift", the more thrifty a person is, the longer he lives. Why can't he spend all his blessings? Therefore, he was originally seventy years old. Because the blessings were not spent, his life expectancy was extended by 20 years, and Lu Jin left. His blessing is not over, he still has life. Then there is "and". A kind person can live a long life without hurting his body and mind. Angry people live a short life. Maybe everyone heard that I had a big temper and lived to be ninety years old. I tell you, he lived to be 1 10 when he was grumpy. Can't compare like this. No wisdom, right? You said that man was corrupt, but he turned out to be rich. If he didn't take bribes and bend the law, he would be richer. But you know, he is very rich now, and when it comes out, he will become a prisoner. People nowadays sometimes don't look forward, backward or far, so what are they looking at? At present. This is short-sighted, short-sighted and will not work.
Again, the way to live a long life is kindness, thrift and harmony. Be kind, know how to let go and understand the overall situation, and be tolerant. Lao Tzu's Sambo said, "Dare to be the first in the world", instead of fighting with others, harmony is the most important thing. Another point is "quietness", knowing that the heart is always clean, the heart can be quiet. When people's hearts are often calm, there is less delusion and less physical and mental wear and tear.
So at that time, in the Republic of China and the early years of the Republic of China, many eminent monks were abstinent. You see, once Xu Yun, an old monk, has settled down, he doesn't have to eat at all or consume energy for several weeks. Therefore, the less people think, the less they need to eat three meals, only two meals, and finally practice to eat one meal. Many well-cultivated people really eat for a while. Our teacher, Mr. Li Bingnan, has a meal, the workload of the old people, and the workload of three or five people, but he only eats one meal and is not hungry. This is a good example for us to perform.
Therefore, "Eat for the stomach, not for the purpose", just return to the basics of life and don't indulge. So I just told you that the whole understanding of life values is that it is very important to improve spirituality, wisdom can be taken away, and spiritual promotion can be taken away. We look at the story of moral education. Many people have been filial to their parents-in-law all their lives. When they die, heaven and man play music, which is recorded in history books.
