Insert the young crops into the field by hand, and you can see the water in the sky when you bow your head;
Peace of mind is the way, and retrogression is the way forward.
When farmers transplant rice seedlings, it seems that they are retreating step by step, but in fact they are advancing step by step. Monks take this opportunity to regress the life scene of transplanting rice seedlings, which is intended to warn the world to practice meditation and cultivate self-cultivation.
Modesty is a retrogression, in fact, it is a kind of tolerance and openness.
Life is bound to stumble. If you want to be harmonious and happy, you must learn to compromise and learn to endure. When contradictions are tangled, no one is uncomfortable. If you can't control yourself, there will probably be a war. At this time, if you don't argue, you are calm and even happy about it, then what you get is gain and satisfaction, comfort and comfort. This is what people say when they take a step back and go forward on the cliff. Just like a rice transplant farmer, he can clearly see the reflected sky in the rice field because he lowers his head; Because of retrogression, we can always insert seedlings into the ground. It reveals a philosophy of life, and retrogression is not necessarily negative and failure, but positive progress and gains;
We can look at Franklin's story. Young Franklin went to visit an elder. He is young and full of energy. He swaggered in, only to bump into the door frame. After seeing its embarrassment, the senior who came out to meet said with a smile, this is the biggest gain you have gained today. If you want to live safely in the world, you should always remember to bow your head. Bowing one's head is a life attitude and wisdom. From then on, Franklin took "remember to bow" as his motto, which may be one of the reasons why he later became the father of the United States.
This principle can also be used in games. If you don't know how to avoid its sharpness and retreat for survival, you are likely to go back and be wiped out. Whether on the chessboard or on the battlefield, although the three armed forces can be magnificent, they can only be defeated by reckless fighting. Take your fist back, and you can hit harder. This is not a general concession problem, nor is it just a tolerant attitude, but a philosophy of life and a military strategy.
Reflection is also a kind of retrogression, in fact, it is a kind of gain and purge.
When taking pictures, in order to make the wide-angle lens more distinctive and effective, it is necessary to take a step back and see if there is any scene in the lens. Sometimes, taking a step back is only part of it, so you have to take two steps back and three steps back until all the flowers and trees are photographed. Such retrogression will make people see farther, wider and clearer.
Life is a big stage. When you perform on the stage, you don't know how you perform. As the saying goes, bystanders see clearly, but the authorities are confused. If we only rely on the guidance and adjustment of others without our own observation and correction, there is no future, and it is very difficult to have a future. What shall we do? The most crucial question is whether you have learned to reflect on yourself.
Confucius once lamented, "In the past, Yan Yuan made progress by retreating, and the world was beautiful." . That's right. Unfortunately, Yan Hui has always kept a low profile and made progress by retreating, so few people around the world follow him. Confucius is expressing his feelings about the decline of the world, because the scholar-officials don't know what etiquette is, and they often don't know how to retreat, let alone how to change it. Therefore, Confucius thinks that there are very few people like Yan Yuan. He not only warned his students, but also suggested that future generations make concessions as a means of progress.
The question is, in today's world, how many people can still calm down and review their own experiences and history, and how many people can start from their own experiences and history. If a person doesn't have time to think quietly, courage to face it seriously and courage to adjust himself, over time, his energy, health and wisdom will be seriously lost. Mr. Feng Youlan thinks that philosophy is "reflective reflection" and a kind of realm knowledge. The significance of two "reflections" no longer stays in the radical and self-cultivation outlook on life, but an accident and sublimation that can wash the soul and regenerate the spirit, and an experience and struggle to return to free humanity and win self-esteem.
Therefore, we should always be alert to ourselves, dare to look back, be diligent in looking back, be good at looking back, and be sincere in order to achieve great things.
Giving up is a retrogression, but it is actually a kind of confidence and maturity.
The cloth-bag monk's exhortation to be "clean" refers to "eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind", which is a Buddhist term, meaning that the world can abandon those external temptations and have a clean and transparent heart. The "purity" here refers not only to the tranquility and serenity outside things, but also to the tranquility and purity inside things. In the face of fame and fortune, why haggle over every ounce and put it down calmly? Instead, you will gain great life energy. On the way to life, you need to know a willing truth. If you give up, you will get it. Not until you give up.
Retreat for progress is an important magic weapon for historical success. The folk saying that "children can't bear to catch wolves" is a bit vicious, but the truth is still true. A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise, which is still a passive willingness. What is really willing to give up should be active investment and dedication. Behind success is hard work, which is a kind of giving up, giving up rest and entertainment, and giving up glitz. On the other hand, blind and desperate labor will also make you lose your health, so that you will accomplish nothing, and eventually you will only fall into a lonely and sighing situation.
People who are cruel to their friends can only freeze to death on the ice in the end. The friendship at a critical moment, because Lian Po and Lin Xiangru abandoned their personal grievances and won the national interests, eventually became a story in history. Marx said that life is inseparable from friendship, but it is not easy to get true friendship; Friendship always needs loyalty to sow, enthusiasm to water, principle to cultivate, understanding to care for. Therefore, between friends, don't get carried away for temporary gains, and don't cry for occasional falls. Life is short and changeable, so why insist on perfection?
The development of human society is often a competitive development. In such a society, the challenges faced by human survival are more and more acute and intense. If you want to find a living space of your own, you must think carefully and deal with it. On the way forward, we need retrogressive wisdom. A modest person will gain more respect and gain more.
Self-cultivation and retrogression are a realm of life.
