1. Purity Lotus

Occasionally I was walking on the sidewalk, and suddenly I saw a sunset extending from the street, very far away, hanging at the end of the street. , then I would think that such a beautiful sunset really indicates that the day is about to end.

Occasionally on a certain road, I see a dead branch with all the leaves of kapok, standing alone and dark brown, with a posture of playing a flute. At this time, I will think, the kapok has fallen again, How many times in life can we see the beautiful kapok bloom?

Occasionally at a roadside cafe, I see the green light turn on and an old woman in simple clothes, holding her little granddaughter in gorgeous spring flowers, hurrying across the road. At this time, I will think, The old woman was once a girl as beautiful as a flower, and the girl will one day become an old woman holding her granddaughter.

Occasionally I stop at a pedestrian overland bridge and look down at the endless traffic flowing in all directions under the overland bridge, but I feel that the traffic is like a still scene. At this time, I will think, where is it? Is it the starting point? And where is the final stop?

Occasionally when I return home, I turn on the faucet to wash my hands. I see the clear water gushing out, flowing rapidly, and suddenly I stand there with a deep tremor. At this time, I think: faucet What flows out is not water, but time, mood, or a thought.

Occasionally, I found a forgotten butterfly flower on a country road. The shape is very similar to the Phoenix flower, but more elegant than the Phoenix flower. When I leaned forward to smell the fragrance of the flower, a butterfly The flower suddenly fell down, which surprised me. At this time, I would think, is this flower the phantom of the butterfly, or is the butterfly the predecessor of the flower?

Occasionally in the quiet night, I hear the cats raised by my neighbors chasing each other lustfully on the roof, hissing fiercely at each other, which makes people’s hair stand on end. At this time, I will think, the animals’ Lust is so rough, but if we look at humans from a more delicate point of view, aren’t humans also such rough animals?

Occasionally, I see a red water lily in a small pond in the mountains. It is pulled out from the shallow ground of the mud and plays a beautiful note, as if ignoring the filth around it. At this time, I will Think: Yeah! ah! What kind of experience do we need to be like this pure lotus?

Occasionally...

Occasionally we live the same life as others, but if we let our hearts be as calm as a waveless lake, we can take care of ourselves with a clear and clear mood. See this boundless and complex world, and find wisdom in all its beauty, corruption, clarity, and filth. If we are wise people, all our troubles will bring us enlightenment, and every little thing will enable us to perceive its meaning and value.

It is not that difficult to seek wisdom in the world. The most important thing is to make our own soft hearts so soft that when we see a petal falling from a flower, we are moved and trembled, as if we understood its meaning.

Only with its softness can we be sensitive; only with its softness can we be tolerant; only with its softness can we be refined; only with its softness can we transcend ourselves and even tolerate our own when we are hurt. Wound.

A soft heart is the bud of great compassion, and a soft heart is also the seed of bodhicitta. A soft heart is the source of our self-clarity while living in the secular world.

The most beautiful petals are soft, the greenest grassland is soft, the vastest sea is soft, the boundless sky is soft, the clouds flying freely in the sky, the most It's soft!

The softness of our hearts can be more beautiful than flower petals, greener than imitations, wider than the ocean, more boundless than the sky, and freer than clouds. Softness is the most powerful and the most constant.

Let us bloom the soft and pure lotus of wisdom in the humid and muddy world!

2. Mahogany

Next to the old house in the countryside. There is a very large open space that is rented to others for planting mahogany saplings.

Mahogany is a special kind of tree with a beautiful shape, tall and straight. Many of them were planted in the forest farm of my hometown in the past, and they have grown into a forest several feet high. So when I saw mahogany saplings that were only knee-high, it was a little hard to believe my eyes.

The person who planted the mahogany seedlings was a very tall man. When he bent down to plant the trees, it felt like planting rice seedlings.

After the saplings were planted, he often came to water them. The strange thing was that he came irregularly. Sometimes he came every three days, sometimes every five days, and sometimes he came once every ten days; The amount is not necessarily certain. Sometimes you pour more, sometimes you pour less.

When I lived in the countryside, I would walk on the path next to the mahogany saplings every day. The people who planted the saplings would occasionally come to my house for tea. Sometimes he comes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, and the time is not certain.

I feel more and more strange.

Even stranger, mahogany seedlings sometimes wilt inexplicably. Therefore, when he comes, he always brings a few saplings to replant.

At first I thought he was too lazy, because he took so long to water the tree.

But how do lazy people know how many trees will wither?

Later I thought that he was too busy and did not follow the rules. But how can a busy person do things so calmly and calmly?

I couldn’t help but ask him, when should he come? How often should I water it? Why do mahogany trees wilt for no apparent reason? If you water it every day, will the mahogany seedlings wither?

The tree planter laughed and said: "Planting trees is not about growing vegetables or rice. Planting trees is a century-old foundation. It is not like vegetables that can be harvested in a few weeks. Therefore, trees must learn by themselves. Look for water in the soil. I only imitate the rain. How many days will it rain? How much will it rain at one time? The saplings will naturally wither. However, if we find water sources and take root in the uncertainty, it will not be a problem to grow into a century-old tree."

The tree planter said sincerely: "If I come here every day. If I water a certain amount of water regularly every day, the saplings will develop a sense of dependence, and the roots will float on the surface and cannot go deep into the ground. Once I stop watering, the saplings will wither even more. Even when there is a strong storm, it will fall down when it blows."

I was very moved by the words of the tree planter. Not just trees, but people too. Living in uncertainty can better withstand the test of life and develop an independent heart. In uncertainty, if you deepen your feelings and emotions about the environment, you can learn to transform little nutrients into huge energy and strive to grow.

Now, the mahogany seedlings in front of the window have grown as high as the roof, looking so elegant and comfortable, showing full of vitality.

The tree planters will no longer come, and the mahogany trees will no longer wither.

Thoughts after reading:

Enlightenment of Mahogany

Mahogany needs its own ability, and we need an independent heart.

It is not our nature to rely on parents and teachers, but if we have to spend time in the arms of our parents and survive in an uncertain life, we will always have a dependent heart.

If you want to gain the ability to take care of yourself, you must go through the test of life and live an uncertain life. From this, I deepened my understanding of things and principles. You will have a deeper understanding of simple substances.

In life, we always rely on our parents. No matter what we are doing, we always choose to tell and explain the difficulties to our parents instead of solving them ourselves. Parents' help is indispensable for daily chores. Whether it is meals or entertainment, parents' care and attention are always meticulous.

In the learning space, the teacher kept urging me. Help us mark homework and correct mistakes. Aren't they like hard-working tree planters? Simple and unpretentious teachers often work hard day and night. And we always rely on him, so he always has endless worries.

Mahogany is still growing, and so are we. The hard-working "tree planters" will always cultivate us.

A dependent heart often makes us unable to withstand the trials of life, but if we have an independent heart, it will show elegance and vitality...
