There are flowers in spring, moons in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter. If you don't mind your own business, this is a good time on earth. In class, the teacher once gave us a song, and the lyrics were written by this Buddha. As the Buddha said, if there are no bad things hanging in our hearts, then all the year round, spring, summer, autumn and winter are good seasons for the world, and every day will be quiet and happy, thus having a healthy body and mind.
However, as the saying goes, nine times out of ten things in life are unpleasant. As long as we live in this colorful but complicated world, we will encounter all kinds of annoying trifles every day. There are countless such distressing things, such as failing in exams, failing in love, or not being able to go out to play football just because of the bad weather today; From a general point of view, birth and death, hopelessness, love and separation, resentment and hatred towards society are all the pains of life. For a large part of people, these objective troubles are only a small part, and more troubles are brought by themselves. Sometimes, we are jealous of others and always unhappy; Or obsessed with desire, living a luxurious life in the wine pool meat forest every day, indulging in harm; Or cling to something, get what you want, and get into endless troubles; Or just blame yourself for a small mistake.
If we can't get rid of the troubles caused by these objective or subjective things quickly every day, then we must have tea and food. Over time, it will lead to physical and mental health and even more serious chronic diseases. On the contrary, if we can quickly get rid of these subjective or objective troubles from our hearts every day and live a happy, healthy, quiet and peaceful life, then over time, we will certainly reach the realm of physical and mental harmony and get a complete and intelligent life.
Then how can we conquer the troubles caused by our subjective emotions? There are many famous sentences in the Diamond Sutra that illustrate this point well. "Everything is law, like a dream, like a bubble, like dew, like electricity, and it should be treated like this." "Don't live by color, don't live by color, fragrance and touch, but live by heart", "You can't learn from the past, the present and the future". Maybe this is the highest level, and we can't reach it. However, we will at least get some inspiration. Today's world is a colorful world. In today's highly developed material civilization, can we not be so eager for endless material desires, but pursue spiritual prosperity? Can we spend less time playing violent online games and more time with family and friends? Can we let go of yesterday's mistakes and tomorrow's confusion? Can we be less jealous of the honor and wealth of others? I think these troubles caused by our inner greed and infatuation are random. As long as we put down a little more greed, hatred and obsession, our troubles will be less.
As for the troubles brought by the objective world, as long as you cultivate your heart well, you can also solve them well. For the troubles and difficulties that we have to deal with in life, we must relax and accept them first. The most important thing is to face them, not to escape, then to deal with them and finally to let them go. As long as you try your best, it doesn't matter even if the result is not satisfactory.
Life is like a thorn, if the heart does not move, if people do not move, it will not hurt if they do not move; If the heart moves, if people move wildly, it hurts the body and bones, so they realize all kinds of pains in the world. Long life is born from the heart, and the environment changes with the heart. Only by living in your heart can you get happiness, and only by living in your heart can you get health.
I hope you and I can stay away from the reversal and live a peaceful and happy life!
