? Text/Xiang is indeed among them
? The world is safe and secure, and I can live up to the Tathagata and live up to you?
When I was a girl, I always felt that Master Hongyi was so cruel.
? He decisively abandoned his wife and fled into Buddhism.
He probably said this: My wife can be a widow like others, and my children can be orphans like others.
? At that time, I felt like my lungs were going to explode after hearing this. I feel that if practitioners are so heartless, it is simply putting a glossy coat of pursuing the right path in the world on a completely selfish skin. This is worse than not practicing.
? At that time, I happened to read the novel "The Thorn Birds", and I felt deeply contemptuous of Father Ralph de Bricassart, who ambitiously pursued fame and fortune but could not cut off his love. I feel that these people who think they are connected to divinity are completely incapable of being inhumane, but they are indeed unreasonable. The evil fate and evil consequences formed will harm others and yourself!
? It is said that the farewell scene between Master Hongyi and his wife was like this...
? They both stepped on the boat and looked at each other from a distance. He kept lowering his eyes to avoid looking at her...
She asked: Master Hongyi, please tell me, what is love.
? He replied: Love is compassion
She cried: "Sir, you are compassionate to the world, why do you hurt me alone?"
? He couldn't answer any more, but he left anyway. His boat sailed away, swaying towards the center of the lake, and the faint ringing of the temple bells in the distance was mixed with the only water in her eyes. He never looked back. She watched the ship disappear into the distance and cried loudly...but she decided to be merciful to him.
Does compassion hurt so deeply?
The pictures in this story are both beautiful and painful and have penetrated my heart.
When I was a girl, I firmly believed that people can pursue personal ideals. But you cannot move forward in a reckless manner, and the pace of pursuit must not be at the expense of hurting others.
? Time is moving, bit by bit, but it doesn’t stop. I’ve walked through sweetness and tranquility, and also through the raging fire; I’ve walked through colorful purples and reds, and also passed through broken walls; I’ve walked through messy places, and I’ve also walked through distant mountains and rivers...
? Life is sometimes gorgeous and sweet. It can make people intoxicated and get carried away. Sometimes it's like surgery without anesthesia. All you can do is swallow your tears, cover your wailing mouth, and survive. Alternately, ups and downs. Most of my life is wasted in choices.
? Just walking like this, I completely became a middle-aged man. As I walked, I finally understood. In fact, what kind of persistence can avoid loss?
? Li Shutong, who decided to become a mage at that time, wrote to his wife in a letter: "I understand that you have to accept the pain and despair of losing someone who has a deep relationship with you." But you are extraordinary. Please swallow this bitter wine and live on. I think you are not a vulgar and cowardly soul living in your body. May the Buddha's blessings help you get through this period. Hard days..."
? He fully knew what kind of pain his departure would bring to her, and he fully acknowledged the fact that it deeply hurt her. Even though this departure was ruthless, there was no hint of deception hidden in it. Only those who have lived to middle age and are used to seeing joys and sorrows will understand that sometimes life is helpless, and it is good to have an account. At least the mage at that time had an open and sincere heart. This unpretentious admission is a comfort to a true-hearted woman. Even though he is ruthless, he does not deceive himself, nor does he deceive others.
? Will you not let her down by staying together? A broken relationship is just a pity for a soul that is not vulgar or timid. And confused lives often waste precious years, passion and courage for the seemingly futile stay together. Spending time for the so-called happy ending. In the struggle, he exhausted his passion for life.
? He also said in that letter: I made such a decision because I was unsympathetic. For the sake of the longer and more difficult journey of Buddhism, I must give up everything. I let go of you, and also the fame and wealth I accumulated in the world. These are all passing by, not worth remembering. What we want to build is a glorious Buddhist kingdom in the future. Let’s meet again in the Paradise of Western Heaven. ”
? I don’t want to describe this matter as a great practitioner who gave up small love for great love. Or what a skillful person he is. Because everyone cannot stand on their own Judging the value and significance of something based on its position.
"Looking across the mountains and peaks on the side" When discussing anything in the world, it will become a series of controversial problems, because there are correct answers everywhere.
? But I know there is another standard by which to judge his heart. He is not Father Ralph de Bricassart! He has not broken his vows. In the years that followed, he was strict about observing the precepts that a monk should have, and he severely punished himself to an extent that ordinary people could not imagine. His diligent practice did not let him live up to her success. He finally succeeded and became a great master. Practitioners are completely role models and role models, and the writing and calligraphy they left behind are so inspiring that they can be read and held in meditation. He really saved countless sentient beings from the sea of ??suffering.
In fact, no couple will be separated. There are thousands of ways to separate, and they may end up severing their friendship and never interact with each other until they die. Maybe they are deeply in love, but they are separated forever. Maybe the body is entangled in the embrace, but the mind has long been a stranger. You may sacrifice yourself for these or those...but no matter what, this fate is broken and the other fate is endless. After all, it is just a matter of unwillingness.
? In fact, it doesn’t matter if we gather or disperse! The key is whether you will be grateful for the past years, because people will only be grateful when they grow. Only then will you have a complete and independent soul.
? In fact, no child will leave home. Love and nurturing are all for the most successful separation. Only when a child becomes independent and can bravely face his own life can he grow up successfully. Children who cannot be separated are the ones who cause great pain to their parents.
? In fact, which period of happiness can last forever, and which round of painful disaster will never end. Are you awake just in these days? Are you faint? Are you overly happy? Are you in extreme pain? Are you worried about the future? Do you miss the past? The most important thing is do you cherish the present moment?
? So thank you for banishing us to the sea! The sea is vast and there is no one to rely on. After enduring the dark night, I discovered that there were still some companions. In fact, no one abandons us, it’s just that we can no longer stand our boring selves. It was through this exile that I was fortunate enough to reunite with my better self.
The theory of evolution tells us that we are the descendants of the lungfish that walked from the sea to land. Therefore, our life is a game for the brave.
Those who are in love never regret falling out of love.
People who are sick are not afraid of death.
People who work tirelessly.
Lonely people enjoy loneliness.
That’s it!
Don’t worry about breaking up when you get together? Don’t worry about coming and going.
Worry about gains and losses, and complain about everything.
This is a real life!
?

Love makes people strong, makes people complete, and makes people live without fear of life. If you are full of worries about life, you are always worried about losing the happiness in your hands. He is also full of greed for beautiful things, hoping that he can have them again and again. They are also afraid of disasters and misfortunes and cannot avoid them. Then the "love" you have is just a gorgeous and fragile ornament that can only be shown to others occasionally to prove that you, too, have it. However, you are nervous and afraid.
Compassion is not just courage, but it at least includes courage.
? A brave life itself is a kind of awareness. In this kind of awareness, follow the footsteps of life and walk calmly and casually. I thought of the poem by Tsangyang Gyatso, and maybe I had a new way of reading it. Maybe this is how it should be thought. ———— "The world has both peace and harmony. If I live up to the Tathagata, I will live up to you."
Finally, I wrote a poem called Xijiang Yue, for the compassionate people in the world.
? Xijiang Moon————On the Tide
If you can get out of the Three Realms,
How can you have a broken liver and intestines?
I can’t bear it The stormy waves destroy the weaving nest,
The sea of ??love and hatred is far away.
In the morning, pear blossoms fall and snow falls,
At dusk, stars disappear and fly into the clouds,
All spring rivers in the world contain the moon,
The tide rises in the sea returning to the east . .
