Take only one spoonful of weak water for three thousand, which comes from a story in Buddhist scriptures, reminding people that "life may encounter many beautiful things, but it is enough to grasp one of them with your heart." The story goes like this:
The Buddha asked a man under the bodhi tree, "In the eyes of the secular, you are rich, powerful and have a virtuous wife. Why are you unhappy? " The man replied, "Because of this, I don't know how to choose." The Buddha smiled and said, "Let me tell you a story. One day, a tourist was dying of thirst. The Buddha took pity on him and put a lake in front of him, but he didn't get a drop of water.
The Buddha was curious and asked why. Answer: there are many lakes, and the stomach is so small. Since you can't drink it all at once, you might as well not drink it at all. At this point, the Buddha smiled brightly and said to the unfortunate people, "remember, you may encounter many beautiful things in your life, but it is enough to grasp one of them with your heart." Weak water is 3,000, just take a scoop of water. "
Take only a spoonful of weak water to describe love. In A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu used this secret code to express his love for Lin Daiyu.
