The old monk Xu Yun made a presentation at the World Buddhist Monastery Forest in Shanghai in 1929. When he came up, he said, "I didn't do anything about it. Although I talked about it in a superficial way, it was nothing more than words left by the ancients, and I didn't negotiate with him."

the more virtuous you are, the more modest you are. Not so much boasting.

Many years ago, it should be at the beginning of the century. At that time, the first CEO of the United States was Welch, and the whole business community was learning Welch, just like learning from Jobs and now learning from Bezos Musk.

Welch has a famous saying: You can refuse to study, but your competitors won't.

when I was chatting with my friends, I agreed: you can refuse to brag, but your competitors won't.

I sometimes brag about myself, and I am really ashamed to see that the old monk Xu Yun didn't implement this sentence.

Practicing sincerity is different from worldly knowledge and ability.

In the world, you have improved your knowledge ability without me. My knowledge is better than before. You are said to have learned nothing, and you are despised.

practice is not. If you have something to gain and feel that you are practicing well, it will be over.

all methods have nothing, after all, they are empty and unattainable.

these 12 words are prajna wisdom.

if you are old, modesty is only the first meaning. The second meaning is that this is not available.

Buddhism is really unavailable.

I haven't seen an old monk with successful practice come out and say that his practice is not bad.

because it's really nothing.

people in the world are diligent and eventually become top experts. They always have their own characteristics and advantages.

For example, a chess player, a painter, and the richest man in business are always changing.

But the practice is very strange, and all the people who practice until the last enlightenment are the same. It doesn't make any difference, it's all nothing.

It's particularly strange that everything these people say has the same meaning and the same taste. You learn from this monk and learn from that monk.

The scriptures spoken by the Buddha, the enlightenment of the six ancestors and the words spoken by the old monk Xu Yun all have the same meaning and taste.

So the old monk Xu Yun said, "I didn't implement it at all. Although I talked about it in a superficial way, it was nothing more than the words left by the ancients, and I didn't negotiate with him."

it's nothing more than the words left by the ancients.
