How to treat "the truth of a quiet and peaceful life"
The ancients said: "Poverty is bitter, and those who can be good are happy;" Wealth is heaven, and those who are not good at it are more bitter. "Throughout the ages, how many poor people can be indifferent to themselves, live in poverty and happiness, live in the mountains and live in the mean alleys, but still do not change their fun, because they have a peaceful and serene heart. Rich people are often insatiable and nervous all the year round. This kind of life is tantamount to a kind of suffering of life, because there is no peaceful and serene heart.

1. What is peace?

Peace and tranquility is a kind of spiritual accomplishment, a kind of moral accomplishment, and the highest state of seven emotions adjustment. A peaceful and serene heart is by no means compromise, harmony, affectation, ambiguity, smoothness and mediocrity. A peaceful mind has no doubt, jealousy, complaint or fear. Peace and tranquility is not only an external measure of being a man, but also an internal cultivation of self-cultivation. Peace and tranquility bring a realm and a philosophy to life and society. A peaceful and serene mind seems normal, but it is wonderful. The achievement of peace and tranquility depends entirely on one's usual cultivation.

Peace and tranquility can be summarized as truth, goodness and beauty.

"Truth" means that there is no falsehood, no reluctance, inner balance and unity, and it is the expression of natural expression of mind.

"Goodness" means that there are no evil thoughts in the heart, and the inner cultivation has reached the realm of "caring for people and loving things" between people and themselves, people and people, people and heaven and earth, and people and everything.

"Beauty" means that if a person has no worries in his heart, this self-feeling is not only manifested in his inner physical and mental beauty, but also in his love for life abroad.

If a person can always maintain a peaceful and serene state of mind, he will appreciate the realm of truth, goodness and beauty in life. Then, life will be full of infinite joy and enrichment, and life will be truly happy.

2. Quiet and serene health care significance

Life lies in balance, first of all, in the balance of mentality. Peace and tranquility is an effective means to maintain mental balance, and it is a simple and easy way to keep in good health. It is the source of life, living water.

The arguments of peace of mind, getting rid of illness and anti-aging have been recognized by Chinese and foreign scholars. Pavlov once did an interesting experiment. He put a group of dogs in a quiet and elegant environment and gave them enough food as a control group. Another group of dogs of the same age, as the experimental group, also gave enough food. They live in a noisy environment, which gives them strong external fright from time to time and makes them fidgety. Soon, it was found that the dogs in the experimental group had obvious aging and diseases such as tooth loss, hair removal, slow movement, emaciation and weakness, and eccentric behavior. The dogs in the control group are still alive and well. Someone did a similar experiment with mice and found the same phenomenon.

In life, we can see that those who are aggressive, mischievous, grumpy and heavy-hearted are often more likely to get sick and precocious than those who are gentle, open-minded and calm. The survey found that the prevalence rate of people who suffered from severe mental shock was 7 times higher than that of ordinary people and the mortality rate was 6 times higher within half a year. American scientists found from a large number of medical practices and social surveys that gregarious is one of human health standards. People who are peaceful and gregarious are less likely to suffer from mental illness, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer, and their average life expectancy is higher than that of unsociable people. The ancients and traditional medicine in China realized earlier and more deeply that peace of mind can cure diseases and resist aging. It can be said that spiritual cultivation is the main part of China's traditional health preservation.

A person who loses peace and tranquility will often complain about life, be dissatisfied and be subjective and selfish, thus falling into a closed state of life and suffering from many diseases. There is a record in Zuo Zhuan that a prince told his wife that I have been very upset recently and can't settle down. The lady replied, "Wang Xin is playing on the swing, and Wang Lu is exhausted." This means that if you lose your inner peace, everything you have will be lost. Sure enough, it wasn't long before the prince died.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, if people can't keep peace and quiet, they will be irritable and depressed. Anger and worry can lead to imbalance between yin and yang and stagnation of qi and blood. In the long run, it will become a disease. Experienced Chinese medicine practitioners emphasize that patients should put their mentality in the first place when analyzing the cause and adjusting the treatment plan, so as to mobilize patients to change their bad mentality.

3. How to keep peace and quiet?

People can be strange sometimes. The more you can't get something, the more you should pursue it crazily, but you don't know how to cherish what you already have. The so-called "the world is full of benefits, and the world is full of benefits" is the most vivid portrayal. You know, unrealistic desires are endless greed for foreign things that can never be satisfied. They can only punish themselves, make people lose their way, make people crazy, make people worry, and make people lose their peace of mind.

If you want to have and keep a peaceful and serene mind, you must know your own heart and keep it. Keep your heart, that is, no matter what the external environment. All the splendor, success or failure can't control your peace of mind; Keeping your heart is to resist the temptation of prices and always keep a contented and peaceful heart.
