The true story of the old yellow calendar

One: half-hearted, this mountain looks at the other mountain, always making up our minds, raising a family and picking wild flowers, and ultimately achieving nothing.

Two: too greedy. Many people have been fooled many times in their lives, but Dangdang is different. In fact, Dangdang is too greedy. It is really pitiful to listen to their complaints, but there must be something hateful about poor people. Greed is one of them. Why were they cheated? Tell you a truth: a greedy person can only cheat a person who is more greedy than him. This is a hateful place and a source of pity.

Three: self-righteous, realize that you are great and know everything, but in fact you don't know anything. What most people understand all their lives is conscious, but the subconscious does not understand it. The behavior that dominates people is subconscious, not conscious, so many people speak clearly, but don't act, because they don't really understand and think they are fruitless.

Four: I'm afraid, I'm afraid of this, and I'm afraid of that. As a result, I dare not do anything, which is useless to myself, others and society. There are three important words in life, that is, don't be afraid. As long as you do it right, what are you afraid of? !

Five: escape, there is a saying: it is difficult to do it, and it is even harder not to do it. The easiest way to meet difficulties in life is to escape. Escape can alleviate the immediate pain, escape the immediate pain, and will inevitably bear more pain in the future. Overcoming the immediate pain will inevitably bring greater happiness to the future. Which one do you choose? That's why you will win if you work hard.

Six: Too smart, don't want to pay, just want to get, let others go through the storm, see the rainbow by yourself, calculate others to earn a little profit, and be complacent. In the end, you will be fooled by cleverness and set yourself up. Then what? I moved the gold and silver jewels in the palace to my home, but in the end, I didn't take them out in the same way. My head fell off and I cursed you for a long time. If you don't have them, you won't get them in the end and your efforts will be rewarded. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, which is a natural law. You can only eat your mother's milk for nothing. !

Seven: Don't use your own brain. Many people say this is not good, and that is not good either. The reason is that Zhang San said, Li Si said, and Wang Wu said that he didn't learn to analyze and judge things. He listened to others three or four times in his life and didn't use his head. Therefore, like most people, he can only listen to the advice of a few people in business, because there are only a few successful people. He should look at the essence of things and analyze and judge things with his own brain.

Eight: If you don't study, you will only steal food and play games. Learning is a lifelong task, and the only constant in this world is change. If you don't study, you can't keep up with the change. There is an old saying that last year's almanac can't be used for this reason. In any industry, the main reason for failure is that if you don't study, you won't enhance your value. How can you succeed without value? Learning means learning knowledge, and using it means using knowledge. A person's life lies not in how much you learn, but in how much you use what you learn.

See the world with your own eyes. Everyone has different birth environment, different education and different personality, so they have different views on things. We should learn to get along with different people, communicate with them, see their advantages, tolerate their differences, don't criticize others, improve and correct their differences with others, and don't try to change others. That's impossible. We can only influence others by changing our behavior. It's good.

Jealousy, most of the contradictions in life come from jealousy. Seeing that others are better and more capable than themselves, we should solve them in a positive way, improve ourselves, compete with others in a proper way, and don't belittle others by slandering or slandering. Of all the negative mentality, jealousy is the most harmful to ourselves, and mentality determines everything. A good attitude is the only guarantee of success.

Top ten Buddhists

Classic one: everything is illusory.

Speaking of the Diamond Sutra: Everything is illusory; Everything is like a dream bubble, such as dew and electricity, and should be treated as such. Beautiful love and touching love are illusory! Liang Zhu's sincerity, Romeo and Juliet's loyalty: one is a legend, the other is a novel. The sadness of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, the romance of Snow White and Prince Charming: one is a myth, the other is a fairy tale. Titanic sank, the broken blue bridge has fallen, and the ghost is gone! But illusory love is also the most beautiful! If you are dreaming, you are close at hand, but you can't touch it; Distant is always the most beautiful, because it is out of reach, full of imagination, but difficult to understand. True beauty lies in the illusion created by the human heart. This kind of beauty is worthy of our common people's pursuit. Even if it takes a lifetime to get a heartbreaking ending, we still look forward to it.

Classic 2: can't say.

Many things are "words can only be understood"! Many realms of Buddhism require you to realize and cultivate your mind. If you rely on others to tell you everything, then you will not achieve your goal of spiritual enlightenment! The Buddha taught all beings to abandon their obsession and enter a state of mindlessness! Therefore, the act of "saying" itself requires a delusion to implement, so it is impossible to say! The reason why the Buddha has so many scriptures and quotations is to educate all beings, so Zen emphasizes not to be obsessed with words. No matter how many love movies you watch, no matter how classic love novels are, you are just disconsolate. Love can only be understood by yourself! Because love is also unspeakable. People who fall in love are stupid, and people around them will never understand the feelings of people in the game! Because of this feeling, like drinking water, you know yourself very well! Although the happy ending of 1000 is the same, their love experiences are different! Only lovers know their little secrets, don't tell others!

Classic three: color is empty, and empty is color.

There is no difference in color and space. From the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra! The whole sutra is 260 words, short and pithy, extensive and profound, translated by master Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty, and it is the essence of Zen! The whole sentence is "color is not different from empty, empty is not different from color, color is empty, empty is color, and it is the same to know." The "color" here and the color that people usually think are two concepts. Buddhism says that "color" refers to everything the eyes see, which probably refers to the appearance of matter! A woman with a beautiful face will always get a lot of favor! But no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will still get old one day! When you get old, will everything in your past still be there? It turns out that when beauty fades, everything will return to its true colors! All the scenery and prosperity, sweet words are just passing by. Woman, find someone who really loves you and let him sleep!

Classic 4: Living is like being in a thorn! If the heart does not move, people will not move, and if they do not move, they will not hurt. If the heart moves, people will move wildly, hurting the body and bones, so they feel all kinds of pain in the world.

Life in the world is always like being in a jungle of thorns, and there are dangers or temptations everywhere. Only by keeping calm and delusional, can his actions be impartial, thus effectively avoiding risks and resisting temptations. Otherwise, it will be very painful. In this world full of temptations, is love really that powerful? Love is a flower that fades easily! And you are the most helpless rose in the morning breeze. When new temptations appear, the desire in my heart begins to sprout! It turns out that love is also an original sin. However, what about the punishment after stealing the forbidden fruit? Lost people have long been addicted to it! Perhaps only those who have experienced true love can face the five colors, waving flags and shouting, waving in the wind and being unmoved!

Classic five: a flower and a world, a Buddha and a Buddha.

According to Buddhist scriptures, in the past, the Buddha touched flowers, but Ye Jia smiled, and then he went to Elysium. From a flower, you can realize the whole world and ascend to heaven. Buddha is Buddha. Who can have such a state? ! Buddha said: a flower and a world, a grass and a day, a leaf and a Buddha, a sand and a blessing, a pure land, a smile and a dust, a quiet mind. All this is a state of mind. If there is nothing in your heart, you can spend a world, a tree and a heaven. Understand these, a flower and a grass is the whole world, and the whole world is as empty as flowers and plants! Now many people who love each other will leave because of each other's poverty! Is this true love? Maybe someone will say the theory of love and bread! However, in the past, old people said that love is full of water. I also believe that if you really love someone, even though you are poor, you will feel full as long as you are with the person you love and drink water! Love is a state of mind: getting love is like getting the whole world! When facing the person you love, no matter where you are, it is like a spring breeze. I remember Xixia chose Xu in Tianlong Babu. When asked: What is the happiest place in my life? Duan Yu replied: At the bottom of a dry well, there is sludge. Why? Because he got true love there!

Classic 6: Looking back 500 times in my last life, I only got a brush in my life.

Buddha said: Only by practicing eternal life can we be in the same boat, and only by practicing eternal life can we sleep together. I watched it 500 times in my last life, just for a brush in my life. An encounter in this life is bound to breed too many sweet or painful memories of previous lives. Everything is born of fate, and it is fate! Accidental meeting, suddenly looking back, doomed each other's lives, just for the moment of looking at each other. You said: On the side is the crystal snow of high school students in the mountains, and on the side is the lonely forest of fairies on earth. I said: fate looked for her in the crowd, but that person was in the dim light. You said: Destiny is that even two of a kind is doomed. I said: fate is helpless, and Yan hui seems familiar. Fate is that joys and sorrows are always ruthless, and every window drips until dawn. Fate is endless yearning. And I, proudly standing in the desert, quietly watching it come and go.

Classic seven: great sorrow without tears, great enlightenment without words, silent smile.

Remember Forrest Gump in Forrest Gump? When all the runners who followed him stopped suddenly, they thought the saint was going to preach. He looked at the crowds of followers and said, I'm tired. Love is not necessarily vigorous, only plain is true! I envy those old couples who help each other at dusk. They go home together. Even if they don't say a word, just a smile is worth a thousand words! They reached the love realm of "holding your hand and growing old with your son", only in this calm picture!

Classic 8: The sea of suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore. Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha.

This is what Buddhists say to persuade people to turn over a new leaf. This is a metaphor. Once an evil person realizes his crime and is determined to turn over a new leaf, he can still become a good person quickly. From Songshi Puji's "Five Lights Meeting Yuan" Volume 53: "Brother Guan kills people without blinking an eye. Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha. " Tell a story first. An old man keeps two birds, a male and a female. The old man takes them out for a walk every day. The man and woman are squatting on the old man's shoulders. The male bird sometimes flies out for a walk, but before dark, it flies back to its nest by itself. The female never leaves the old man's shoulder. So day after day, many years have passed, and everything has never changed. Until that day, everything was as usual. After dinner, the old man took two birds for a walk. Suddenly, the female bird standing quietly on her right shoulder flapped her wings and disappeared instantly. The male bird howled in the sky, but there was no answer. Since then, the male bird has been whining in the nest every day and will never leave the nest again. Three months later, the male died of hunger strike. Groaning before he died. Many years passed until the old man died and the female bird never came back. Only the abandoned bird's nest witnessed that history alone in the wind. After reading the story, I closed my eyes and sighed. Such a man and a woman are no different from men and women in the world. Men in real life often say that they like the new and hate the old. They are like playful children, always eyeing an empty room to go out to play. When they are tired of playing, they will naturally go home. Outside, they can have fun; At home, they also want to be good husbands and fathers. The boundaries in their minds are very clear, and it is best to kill two birds with one stone as a wife and lover. Even if some of them have slipped and changed their minds, under the balance of advantages and disadvantages in reality, under the attack of wife's tears and under the severe situation of friends and relatives, most of them can turn over a new leaf and turn over a new leaf. And women, they often regard love as life. In their bones, the word love is sacred. Most women are nostalgic, and they will never give up easily if they have no experience of hurting their souls. Once a woman decides to give up, the love she once regarded as life will be completely destroyed, and she has no way out. Therefore, once a woman changes her mind, she will never look back. Like the bird that flew away from its master's shoulder, it never came back. A woman's love is determined by her loyalty.

Classic 9: Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not a stage. There is nothing, so there is no dust.

Hongren, the fifth ancestor, asked everyone to write a poem to decide his successor. The most popular beauty program wrote: "You are like a bodhi tree and your heart is like a mirror. You should always wipe it in court, so don't create dust" ... At that time, Huineng was still a handyman and illiterate, so I found a little novice monk to read it, and then I said that famous poem (I had to find someone).

These four sentences are mainly about releasing people, that is, the four things in the Buddhist scriptures are empty, but they are not obsessed with emptiness!

The first two sentences are only explained by bodhi trees and mirrors: don't cling to things. The last two sentences are about one's own realm, clearly thinking about Tao, but too obsessed with Tao, but getting farther and farther away from Tao. Zen mainly expounds that everyone has Buddha nature, and it is important to cultivate one's mind, not the outside!

This kind of love is silence; It is a deep and meaningful love. It is not a flash in the pan, and there is no heroic oath that "the mountain has no edges, the world is unique, but I dare to be unique with you". This is a real, real love; It is love that grows old hand in hand, keeping the sunset and sunrise together. This kind of love is the soothing piano sound flowing between your fingers, which cleanses the impetuous soul, stretches the chaotic mood and combs out a quiet and peaceful life.

Too passionate love is always easy to lose branches, while peaceful and quiet love has lasting fragrance and lasting heart fragrance. When the flame-like love turns to ashes, when the tide of love slowly disappears, there is still a broad and loving heart looking at it, which embraces and comforts the scarred heart.

Of course, quiet love is by no means plain love. That's the watch of the soul, and it's the real care hidden in the bottom of my heart. Like a breeze, like a bright moon, beautiful but not kitsch, peaceful but not mediocre, calm but not dull. Through the clear stream of love, you will see exquisite stones and fish swimming happily in the stream. The beauty contained in this quiet love needs to be read wholeheartedly for a lifetime, so as to be vivid and moved in the plain truth.

Classic 10: If I don't go to hell, who goes to hell?

At that time, the King Earth Treasure Bodhisattva could have become a Buddha, but he was reluctant to leave, because there were countless suffering souls in hell, so he stayed in hell and solemnly swore: "If I don't go to hell, no one will become a Buddha!" So there is the origin of this sentence, which belongs to Mahayana of Buddhism. I remember a movie by Kimura once explained "love" in this way, saying that loving a person means that you are happier than him when he is happy, and you are more miserable when he is miserable ... In fact, giving others happiness and being needed by others is a thing that can bring me great satisfaction and happiness. At least I will enjoy the attachment of others to myself, and I will also be attached to others. This is the way I talk to the outside world, and I want to believe that I can live like this. After reading Palace, I like the laws inside very much. He grew up with nothing, lost his father, lost his crown prince and lost his palace. However, after 14 years, although he could have won the throne through his mother's infighting, he resolutely chose to sacrifice himself to save his relatives and his conscience. He replaced the fabricated crime in the letter and his mother's secret crime. In this way, although the royal family restored peace and everyone was happy, Lao left the palace with nothing, even with a broken heart. Caijing's refusal to accept it may be the biggest pain in his heart. I always feel that his eyes are full of melancholy and his face is full of thoughtful expression. However, maybe he feels happy because he sacrificed for love and helped so many people.
