His unswerving life became a legend in the eyes of the world. In the words of student Feng Zikai, he is a "very human person".
He belongs to our time, but he jumped out of the world of mortals.
I tasted the taste of the world and finally found a home in Buddhism, which really made me happy and left great wisdom for the world.
Some people interpret this sentence as: when things get to the extreme, they will naturally go downhill.
But I don't think it's completely right. Li Shutong must know that there is no such thing as "perfection" in this world, so what he wants to express should be:
You should not expect things to be perfect, nor should you expect yourself to be perfect. Because it can't happen at all, you will still be tired.
For a person, good or bad is obtained through the evaluation of others. The so-called "perfect person" probably conforms to everyone's aesthetics, but is it possible?
Some people like quiet, some people like lively, some people like spicy and some people like sweet. Why do you cater to everyone's appetite? The person everyone likes is probably the person who has the least self.
There are others who try to find such a perfect person in this world. For example, when choosing a spouse, people should be handsome, have money at home, be able to talk, be gentle and considerate, do not smoke or drink, and be gentle and overbearing. Then he said that he was "not demanding" because these are "standard". I guess I watched too many Korean dramas. In the era when people are everywhere, the misunderstanding caused by people is really not shallow.
Therefore, the bow should not be too full, so we should leave room for others to stand on and for ourselves to turn around.
This means that we should relax in dealing with people and be down-to-earth in this matter.
It is common for us to disagree with others in our daily life or work. You will find that immature people often like to find reasons in others.
For example, a couple quarreled over a trivial matter, and his wife's face changed greatly. She said something very heavy, and her husband was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night. When I arrived at the company the next day, my colleagues found her husband pale. Ask him what happened. He told me about last night and blamed his wife for being unreasonable. Who knows, my colleague asked me: Since you are generous, why are you so angry?
We always expect others to act according to our own wishes, and often forget to ask ourselves the same standards.
Zheng Banqiao, a thinker in Qing Dynasty, once said that "it is a blessing to suffer". When you get along with others, you should always put yourself in others' shoes and understand others.
Being a man, too refined, there is no way; If you are too harsh, you will have no friends. However, this spirit should not be placed on yourself, and the more harsh you are on yourself, the better. As the saying goes, be strict with yourself and be lenient with others. That's what I'm saying.
Self-discipline should bring the breath of autumn: self-disciplined people are waiting for the spring breeze.
How to quell slander? A: No explanation is needed. How to stop resentment? A: If you don't explain, you will know what is clear, and what is clear is self-evident.
I believe that everyone has had the experience of being misunderstood, and it feels really bad. There is no argument. If you talk too much, people will accuse you of sophistry. Therefore, many people choose silence.
This is actually a wise choice.
In fact, the reasons behind it are quite profound. Is this society a three-man tiger or a clean society? Sometimes it depends not on the merits of the matter itself, but on the development of the situation.
The so-called "potential" means that there are spring, summer, autumn and winter, and people have emotions. You can't convince most people by yourself.
So, there is no point in sticking to the truth in this world? Of course, time will tell. Let bygones be bygones. If you can't explain clearly, in fact, if you are too obsessed with the present, it will be counterproductive.
The person who doesn't want to believe you, you talk too much, which is exactly what he wants: "Look, he is in a hurry." ; You don't say that he is also happy: "Look, he is guilty."
Therefore, in this terrible society, the only thing we can do is to have a clear conscience.
Faced with the criticism of the world, Master Hongyi just bowed his head and recited the scriptures, and a mountain separated two worlds. Didn't you get a good reputation as usual?
Master Hongyi has been dead for 77 years, and people have not forgotten him.
His farewell speech was written in 19 15 and has been sung since the Republic of China. When Pu Shu covered this song, he said with tears: "If I wrote the lyrics, I could die there on the spot."
Li Shutong really did everything to the extreme, and then turned around again and again to bid farewell to the world.
Q: What is practice?
A: What do you mean by not practicing?
The so-called practice is not to change the world.
