The spiritual home is a unique home for human beings. The spiritual home of us Communists is built by our own ideals and beliefs, noble sentiments, and healthy and upward lifestyles. In this spiritual home, the party spirit and people's hearts are contained, and the cause of the party and the people is contained. Guarding this spiritual home is of great significance for adhering to the noble spiritual pursuit and maintaining the awe-inspiring righteousness of the Communists.
In reality, many of our party members and cadres can always maintain noble sentiments and pursuits. But there are also some people who, faced with the confusion of fame, power, and profit in society, cannot keep their spiritual home, and regard the indulgence of selfish desires as a paradise for freedom. They often enjoy the unrestrainedness from the feasting and entertainment, and seek excitement from the violation of law and discipline. This should arouse our high vigilance.
Comrade Mao Zedong emphasized: "People must have a little spirit." The reason why people must have a little spirit is because although the spirit does not satisfy people's material desires like matter, it can lead like a beacon. As we move forward, we will always be high-spirited and full of energy while striving for the cause of the party and the people.
For us Communists, guarding our spiritual home is not only a small personal matter, but a major matter related to the overall image of the party. It can be said that only when every party member and cadre can withstand the test of temptations such as power, status, fame and fortune, can we always maintain the political nature of our Communists.
There is a story in Buddhism that says that monks were meditating with their eyes closed under a flag. When the wind blew, one young monk said, "The flag is moving," and the other said, "The flag is not moving." "It's the wind that's moving." The old abbot pointed out: "It's neither the flags nor the wind, it's the heartbeat." This means that the young monks were not concentrating on "meditating" but were distracted. It can be said that the discipline of "heartbeat" is a very important rule in Buddhism for self-cultivation. We want to guard our spiritual home, and we might as well learn from the Buddhist teachings of guarding against "heartbeats" and try our best to get rid of our selfish thoughts. In reality, some corrupt people often complain in various ways after being exposed, complaining about the bad social atmosphere, complaining about too many materialistic temptations, complaining about the cunning tactics of the bribers, etc. In fact, "flies don't bite seamless eggs." If you remain unmoved in the face of all kinds of temptations, no sugar-coated bullets will be able to defeat you.
As the saying goes, "People live with one breath." This "qi" should mainly refer to the spirit, will, and integrity. We party members and cadres must act with integrity, act with ethics, and act with principles. At any time, we must "not be lewd when rich or poor, unyielding when poor or humble," guard our spiritual home, use the awareness of "cautiousness" and "caution of independence" and the spirit of "self-respect, self-examination, self-policing, and self-motivation" to To resist and overcome all kinds of bad temptations, use all your energy, enthusiasm and talents to fight for the cause of the party and the people.
