[Reprint] How to plan your life after 50 years old
Seeing that I was going to the fifth grade, I also wanted to know how to plan my future life, so I bought one myself. Some people may say that when people reach the age of 50, they have spent half their lives. What life can they plan? However, Taidao Matsubara, a Japanese Buddhist master who is now10/kloc-0, tells us that real life begins at the age of 50. At the age of 65, Taidao Songyuan published the book Introduction to Prajna Heart Sutra, which became famous for its exquisite sentences. Since then, it has been out of control, giving lectures and opening columns everywhere, and new works are launched every year. So far, he has written more than 130 books, which has become a miracle in Japanese Buddhism. Asked about his achievements and achievements in this life, he said, "My life began at the age of 50. In my experience, 50-60 years old is the turning point of life, so life can be divided into two stages: before 50 years old, it is the stage of laying the foundation. At this stage, we are often tired of standing on the society and supporting our families, basically living for others; After the age of 50, the economic foundation has been laid and the responsibilities have been completed. This is the most valuable stage of self-realization and self-creation. " Matsubara Taidao's longevity benefits from his spiritual health. He is the first advocate and practitioner of mental health preservation and the first successful person. There is a "three noes" principle in his spiritual health preservation, that is, no reluctance, no waste and no laziness. Not reluctantly, it means not to set your goals too high and do something different; Not wasting is to cherish time, cherish things around you and cherish the goodwill of others; Being lazy means not letting others do their own thing. No matter how old you are, you should summon up the enthusiasm to continue learning. Matsubara Taidao is currently writing his last book, Learning to Die. He said that death is like a clock that never stops moving. It exists every second. Maybe this is an endless book. What does it matter if you can't finish it? Life always gives up halfway. We just need to work hard every day and leave the things we can't do to heaven. His motto is: study for life, till death do us part! Matsubara Taidao advocates the philosophy of "one life a day". Don't think that life is long, but have a sense of urgency that today may be the last day of life and make unremitting efforts. Now, only now, if you die now, you will never come again. You should live every day as if it were your life, and show the brilliance of your life today. Life planning from 50 years old to 100 years old, this book tells how to plan the rest of your life from the perspective of Buddhism. We have never studied Buddhism, but it is understandable, because what Matsubara Taidao wants all his life is to "say what others can understand and write what others can understand." I just got it, so I haven't had time to read it carefully. I just glanced at it and thought it was a book worth reading for people our age. I also suggest that all my friends of the same age read this book, which is of great benefit to their lives. Hehe, maybe we can live longer because of this! If you can't find this book in the bookstore, I'm also very willing to do it for you!
