What is Lu's character in Water Margin?
People often say that they should live their true selves, but because of various obstacles, few people can live their true and free selves. Even though the heroes in Water Margin are bold and bold, and each has his own needs, in 108, one person has lived his true colors. Li Zhi, a thinker in the Ming Dynasty, commented: "He is a benevolent, a saint, a brave, a man of God, an arhat, a bodhisattva and a Buddha." Jin Shengtan commented on him: "The beauty is that it is fascinating, and Luda is naturally superior." He is Lu. Can set so many labels in one, looking at the water margin, there is no second person. In fact, Lu's greatest characteristics are simplicity, truthfulness, kindness and transparency. Lu's appearance is full of bandits and chivalry. The first time I saw Shi Jin, he threw himself into shouting to go drinking together. I met Li Zhonghou, who sells plasters for a living. He didn't say anything about taking Jong Li to eat wine. When he said that he would come as soon as he sold the plaster, Sheng scolded impatiently: "These guys spread out with their asses between their legs. If they don't go, they will fight. " As soon as he appeared, people were relieved, just like a grumpy and enthusiastic stranger in the street, but they were willing to listen to his arrangement. However, Lu has a bad temper, but he is very disciplined. He didn't bully the market with all his strength, and he didn't forget to say to the waiter, "I'll pay you back the tea money." For the bartender, too: "But if you have it, sell it and return it to you as soon as you get it." The bartender's words made people more aware of Lu's character: "Be the master, but eat and just go, I'm afraid I won't get credit." One side is consciously honest, and the other side is full of trust. Through these short words, Lu's bandit spirit rushed into a stream of righteousness, and a principled tough guy image loomed. However, the toughness of a tough guy is not just lip service. When the father and daughter were persecuted by Kansai Town, Lu flew into a rage and wanted to avenge them. His chivalrous heart came into being. The father and daughter had nothing to do with each other, but he stood alone among the three. What is rare in life is this kind of battle righteousness without utility. Lu usually looks fierce, but he will never be wronged. Moreover, judging from Lu's two conversations with waiters and bartenders, there is not much savings at hand. However, when faced with the weak father and daughter of Jin Cuilian, he was decisive and generous, and borrowed money from Shi Jin and Jong Li to support the father and daughter. The next thing is to make people respect him. After holding his breath all night, Lu naively went to Kansai Town the next day. In such troubled times, for him, the only way to maintain justice is to use force, so he killed the butcher Zheng with three punches in a rage. But this time, upholding justice completely changed his life track, and he embarked on the road of becoming a monk, generating a fishmeal face instead of a person who recited scriptures and Buddha. Meeting life confidant Lin Chong is even more chivalrous and tender. He regarded Lin Chong as his brother and gave his life. He secretly followed the escorted Lin Chong and walked thousands of miles just to save his brother's life and protect him. There are many heroes since ancient times, but few real heroes. Many people are bound by the secular, and "truth" has become an unreachable figure. "Eat when you meet wine, do when you meet something, help when you are weak, and fight when you are strong." This is Lu's famous saying, which has never changed from being in power to becoming a monk. For a monk, I'm afraid he is a fake monk if he doesn't strictly abide by the rules and regulations and fast to recite Buddha. However, all these ceremonies were overthrown by Lu, so this did not delay his enlightenment. Although he was dressed as a monk, he was often drunk and beat the monks in the whole temple alone, turning the whole Wutai Mountain upside down. In Suoguo Temple, he kicked many bad guys into the cesspit and made a scene in the wild pig forest, but he always remembered the root of being a man: killing people never kills good people for nothing, but only helps the poor and the weak. After careful calculation, none of the amazing things he did were for himself. After living in exile for half a year, Lu captured Fang La alive in the final battle. Song Jiang was overjoyed and became a secular official. Since then, he has been a good wife and son, honoring his ancestors. However, at this time, it is sober and indifferent. He replied, "My family has turned to dust and I don't want to be an official. I just want to find a clean place to settle down. " Song Jiang still advised him to become a monk in a famous temple, but Lu flatly refused: "No, it's no use asking for more." This is the wisdom of laymen and the prajna of Buddhism. When people come and go naked, what do they take? Indeed, it's no use asking more. Therefore, after listening to the tide of Qiantang River, Lu Wu realized: "Catch in summer and hold in wax. Listen to the tide and be round, see the letter and be silent. " Yes, it's time to die. Therefore, after in-depth understanding, Lu accepted the transformation of the Buddha and left a few incisive words: "I don't cultivate good fruits in my life, but only love killing and setting fires." Abruptly open the golden rope and break the jade lock here. Hey! The letter from Qiantang River came, and today I know that I am me. " Finally, he became a Buddha in Liuhe Hall, Hangzhou, and died in meditation. Throughout Lu's life, it can be summarized by his name. He is broad-minded and bold. He who has deep wisdom has deep roots and boundless wisdom. Lu used his life to explain a truth, how much love there is in the world and how to meet the vicissitudes of the world. This kind of love is kind, true, open-minded and enthusiastic. Only by living the truest self can we not lose ourselves in the world of mortals. Even if you love "I miss heaven and earth, there is no limit, and I am lonely and tearful", it is better than perfunctory life. Work hard, in the most heartfelt way. Know yourself, know yourself; For foreign things, things should come, not stay. In this way, the party will not bear this life. Source: Lecture Room
