Lao Wang bluntly said that he didn't know Wang Ye.
Buddhists have a saying: first "enter the WTO" and then "be born". In my opinion, joining the WTO means savoring the vicissitudes of life, suffering from secular desires and experiencing the polishing of wind and rain. As soon as I was born, my prosperity faded, I was pure and without desire, and I practiced Buddhism wholeheartedly. However, Wang is only a young child. With the protection of his parents, how can he join the WTO? Without the erosion of wind and rain, life is required.
Wang also "joined the WTO"
In my opinion, there are only three kinds of monks:
First, suffering wears the intestines and sees through the world of mortals. Such a person becomes a monk just to ask heaven to turn over his inner pain. Many people in the world have become monks because of this problem.
Second, cultural influence and inner identity. When I was young, I was infected by this kind of cultural thought. I rejected three thousand troubles in the world and thought I had found a home in them.
Third, the arrangement of fate, this is called "fate." Some people have been adopted by monks since childhood, which can only be said to be the fate arranged by heaven.
Father's "promise"
So, under what circumstances did Wang become a monk? Isn't the answer obvious Wang had a rich material life since childhood, and his parents cared for him in every possible way. God also specially gave Wang a clever head. A person is immersed in this kind of life before entering WTO, and perhaps Wang doesn't know what happiness is. Everyone says that happiness is a comparative level. You need comparison to know happiness. Therefore, Wang Ye's heart is empty and depressed.
Wang also worked hard to become a monk.
Past pain can reflect present happiness. However, life in Wang Ye is too smooth. He was born with something that others could only pursue for decades. Therefore, Wang has been in a state of no desire and no desire for material things, and he can't find the reason for his efforts, let alone the direction of his efforts. So Wang also showed laziness, no ambition, easygoing and aloof from an early age. As he grows older, Wang is more eager to find the direction of life.
Wang is also fond of classics.
Since Wang also came into contact with Taoism in Wudang, I think Wang will be surprised to find that there is such a living method in life. It turns out that abstinence and transcendence can also be the ideal and pursuit of life, and it has been out of control since then. Influenced by Taoist metaphysics, Wang also made an in-depth study of Taoist metaphysics.
The above is purely my personal opinion.
