Entry and Exit

Entry into the world and exit from the world are topics that have been discussed from time immemorial. However what are initiation and emergence?

1, out of the world:

Anciently an idea of not being concerned about worldly matters. The term "world" refers to the mundane world.

For example, "Buddhists take the human world as the mundane world, so they call being free from the bondage of the human world being out of the world."

2. To enter the world

Refers to entering society; to devote oneself to society.

For example, "Its gas is vast, and it often stays between heaven and earth, so why bother to come out of the world and enter the face of the world."

It is easy to enter the world, but difficult to leave it.

It is easy to get into the world, but hard to get out of the world.

I prefer to go out into the world, because people in the world can be carefree (and live longer), and it's not easy to pass the barrier of being indifferent to fame and fortune. But usually some people who are out of the world, their mind and body will be relaxed. Why do I like being out of the world?

1. Being out of the world allows you to not have to pay attention to the trivialities among the world. This allows you to be yourself in the true sense of the word. When people come out of the world, they tend to be more casual. Such a life is very beautiful. It is also what I aspire to.

2. Another meaning of emergence is to transcend the human world. Such a state should be the highest state of human beings. So I prefer to go out of the world. Just like Laozi Zhuangzhou. Everyone has heard the story of Zhuang Zhou dreaming of butterflies. In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly, a vivid butterfly, a metaphor for the right spirit and, I do not know Zhou. I was surprised to realize that I was pleasantly surprised by Zhou. I don't know if Zhou's dream is a butterfly or not, but the dream of a butterfly is Zhou's dream. If you are a butterfly, you will be able to share your dreams with the butterfly. This is called materialization. (Zhuangzi - The Theory of Things). The meaning of this text is that in the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he became a butterfly, a very vivid and realistic butterfly, and felt how pleasant and cozy ah! Not realizing that he was originally Zhuang Zhou. Suddenly, I woke up and realized that I was originally Zhuang Zhou. I don't know whether it was Zhuang Zhou who turned into a butterfly in his dream or the butterfly who turned into Zhuang Zhou in his dream. There must be a difference between a Zhuangzhou and a butterfly. This can be called the intersection and change of crop and me. This is full of imagination and depth of thought. Often there is into the life of the three ultimate questions: 1. Who am I 2. Where do I come from 3.

So I think that often people who come out of the world, they do some thinking. This kind of thinking is usually not done by people who enter the world, and this kind of thinking is also deep. It's in that depth of thinking that one step at a time you realize the true nature of things. That's why I like being out of the world.
