A Classic of Chinese Studies —— Sorrow of Buddhism

Confucianism and Taoism were mentioned earlier. What are your Buddhists like?

Nowadays, due to the pressure of life, many people are impetuous.

Impetuous heart makes people's negative emotions swell. Anger, jealousy, harshness, picky, caring and demanding often fill people's hearts, so the emotions of loss, despair, regret and chagrin make everyone's eyebrows covered with dark clouds.

To sum up, this negative emotion is the word resentment, which is the anger in "greed and ignorance".

The theory of Mahayana five aggregates says: "What is the cloud of anger? It is said that love and pleasure are harmful. " The theory of only knowing says: "those who are angry are bitter and bitter, and those who hate them can stop anger and be unstable, and evil deeds depend on it."

Buddhism believes that resenting others or other things against one's will will make all beings feel hot and restless, which is very harmful to Buddhist and Taoist practice.

Therefore, Buddhism regards anger as the enemy of practice.

This is the case with Buddhist practice. If it is for others or society, anger is more harmful.

Anger and hatred for others will lead to fighting or killing each other, hurting a family and a village, not the whole society and the whole country into disaster. Therefore, in the fourteenth volume of Great Wisdom, anger is the heaviest of the three poisons, the deepest resentment, and the most intractable of all kinds of heart diseases.

How to resolve the grievances in your heart? Buddhism says to "see through, let go."

See through what? Diamond Sutra: "Everything has its way. Like a bubble of dreams. Such as dew is also like electricity. It should be like this. "

All phenomena formed by conditions are illusory, like dreamy bubbles, like dewdrop lightning, and this is how we should look at the world.

When you are in pain, trouble and anger, you will often hear friends' persuasion: "Relax, life is like this." Come into this world naked, and finally, leave this world naked. I really can't take it when I am born, and I can't take it when I die. "

Yes, empty, empty, empty, life is empty to the end.

Not only is it empty, but life is also full of impermanence. Just like a play without rehearsal, no one can predict what will happen next moment.

Rich today, you may be heavily in debt overnight; Today, high above the temple, the Ming Dynasty may still be far away; Today, the family is happy, and the Ming dynasty may be scattered ... such things happen from time to time.

See through the essence of "emptiness" in life, and you can let it go. Let go of selfishness, fame, greed, ignorance, and the enjoyment of five desires and six dusts, instead of letting go of everything.

If a person gives up everything, what else can life have?

Therefore, we should mention mindfulness, righteousness, sadness, virtue, kindness, diligence and diligence. If not, what is the value and meaning of life?

When you see it through and put it down, there is nothing in your heart, let alone just complaining.

"There is nothing in the original, where is the dust?" There are pure land lotus flowers everywhere, without any obstacles.

Zen has the saying that "the great man hides in the city, while the small man hides in the mountains".

In other words, you are free no matter what environment you live in.

Into the wasteland in the mountains, poisonous insects and beasts can't bother you; The hustle and bustle of the city, people coming and going, can't shake people's hearts.
