A person's life is either on the road of fame and fortune or on the road of happiness. But there are always people who get lost in material desires and are led by their own obsession.

Everything in this world comes and goes in a hurry. Some people, you can't let them stay, and some things, you can't get what you want. In this way, our hearts will produce endless sense of blame.

This sense of obsession and blame is like a seed, which takes root in the narrow inner space and eventually occupies the space deep in our souls.

What makes obsession occupy our hearts is not the external material world, but the self lost in the journey of life. Then you and I will go to the mysterious distance with a sense of loss.

I remember that there is an intriguing saying in the Buddhist scriptures: "Colorless and faceless, angry and crazy."

On our way to the future, many things and people we meet are "hue", and the desire that comes from our uncontrollable heart is "anger".

When the millstone of years gradually smoothes the edges and corners of the body, the precipitation of light at that time gradually glows with inner vitality. We just find that people who can control their "desires" and see through the trivial things in this world are themselves in the depths of their souls.

There is a famous saying in the Diamond Sutra: "Everything has its own way, like a dream, like a bubble, like dew, like electricity, so we should look at it from ourselves."

Life is varied and the years are long. Living is the process of pursuing happiness in life. On this unknown road, there are too many psychedelics and bubbles.

This psychedelic bubble can be understood as "impermanence of life", because no one knows when the gains and losses will come, so "impermanence" is a huge obstacle to people's progress.

Young students will cry because of the frustration in the examination room. They don't see that impermanence only represents a moment.

Adults in the workplace will worry about their poor performance. They don't see that impermanence is just a hill.

Middle-aged housekeepers don't want tea and rice because of family pressure and contradictions. They don't see that impermanence only symbolizes "one leaf is blind".

People of all ages have different life missions and tasks. Some people want to fight for their careers, while others want to fight for their families. Different purposes lead to different world views.

Why did Su Shi write "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but toward which corner of the mountain" in his poem? Because people who get lost in the mountains can't see through themselves.

Just because you are in the mountains, you can't "travel thousands of miles in a day", and just because you are lost in a materialistic world, you can't "give up the root and chase the end".

Many people are struggling with what is really "seeing through".

There is a word that can be well summarized, and that is "let nature take its course". The essence of seeing through is to know how to let go of inner persistence, not to go against the law, not to go beyond the rules.

I have seen an interesting saying: when you are 40 years old and still renting a house and riding a bike, don't fantasize that you will become a well-known multi-millionaire one day.

When everything you want is beyond your ability, you will find yourself living more and more painfully. Although it is sunny today, you will feel the rain.

As the saying goes, "Think about it, Qian Shan is full of water, and when you think about it, things are different."

What path to take in life is not decided by others, and the "God" who has the initiative is himself. It is not others who can bring happiness to themselves, but people who know how to "let go".

It's hard to see through The difficulty is that each of us has to worry about "rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea". No one can help themselves, because everyone has "hard times".

The young people who used to be high-spirited have become middle-aged people who are speechless and don't laugh. The young people who used to have poems and distant places have become greasy middle-aged people who are calm and uncontroversial.

In fact, the materialistic era has not changed. What has been changing is actually to adapt to the "material" life.

Perhaps, the best gift that time brings us is "seeing through" after the dispute.

One day, the young monk asked the old Zen master, "Master, I saw that the woodcutter at the foot of the mountain was poor, but he lived happily." The rich man in the neighboring village is rich, but he is not satisfied. "

The Zen master smiled and replied, "The woodcutter knows how to be content and has no excessive desire. The rich regard greed as the whole of life and bury their days in desire. "

Then the Zen master pointed to the old trees in the yard and said, "Do you know why the old trees are flourishing and the young trees fall with the wind?"

Little novice monk shook his head, and the Zen master added, "Old roots are deep, so you know how to put them away freely. You don't compete with your neighbors for length. Small roots are shallow and impatient, so you always have to compete for length for a while." Therefore, whether you can live a good life depends not on the external environment, but on yourself. "

Buddha said, "contentment is always a pleasure."

Contentment means that after knowing the essence of everything, everyone knows how to control his own desires and turn ordinary days into an ideal state of freedom.

Meditation is another realm of knowing and doing after knowing how to be satisfied. No matter how life goes, whether it is hard or rich, ideal or cruel, let nature take its course and fight for it.

The heart is heaven, but the mind is hell. The so-called heaven and hell are the fundamental choices in our hearts, just as Lin Qingxuan chose "life is full of joy" and Su Shi chose "rain or shine".

The world is our world. If you live freely, you are the master of your own world. The future is not the day when you look for happiness, but the day when you look for happiness!
