Everything is false. Material fame and wealth are like rain and dew, like fire and lightning. All things in the world are born or destroyed. What exists is just a fragment of the process. In the entire life field, joy and sorrow are all conditions.
Bodhi has no tree, and people are born with nothing. The various paths in the future, whether they are happy or sad, whether they are poor or humble, are irreversible. If you follow your original intention, you will have no regrets. , that is, no resentment. If you force your obsession and obsession on someone or something, you will get temporary satisfaction, but in the long run, how can you feel at ease?
Don’t make your ambitions clear unless you are indifferent. Throughout the ages, the ambition of benevolent people does not lie in fame and fortune. There is always a deep understanding, and then you can raise the sail and sail towards the sea of ??your heart.
Buddhism is a temple that teaches people to escape suffering. There are no games of money and power, and there is no struggle for fame and fortune. How many extremely evil people voluntarily put down their butcher knives in the morning bells and dusk drums, forgetting the evil thoughts inside and outside their bodies; many lost people see through the clouds, feel the call from their souls, and convert to Buddhism. Master Jueyin is a person who has achieved great enlightenment. He has abandoned the causes and conditions of the world, escaped into Buddhism, and given up the worldly mind.
When something unexpected happens when you are young
When you feel the main theme, you still have to say goodbye and embark on a new journey. This matter left Master Jueyin with too many and profound questions. The life of the Master printed on his blank forehead is a legend, with color at every stage.
In 1969, Master Jueyin was born in an ordinary family in Linshui County, Sichuan Province. His common name is Zhang Pingzhong. He is the youngest child in the family. He is loved by everyone. He is also well-behaved, smart and sensible. . He remained diligent and studious in school and achieved excellent grades. He was diligent and considerate at home and became a support to the family and contributed a lot of effort.
Although he was not rich, he was very contented. However, as the moon waxes and wanes, people have their blessings and misfortunes. A disease suddenly came and took away the lives of his father and brother in a short time. Experiencing something like this in childhood is bound to hit people hard, and it is easy for people to fall into the abyss of grief, making it difficult to get out of the haze and heal the trauma.
The impossibility of pain being permanent gave rise to a series of questions: why are the living alive, and where are the dead going? Many thoughts came to him one after another and were hidden in his mind, providing the basis for later entering Buddhism. gravitational.
The hand of time touches Jueyin, and he insists on learning. This is his stubbornness and unyielding spirit. In 1988, after passing the college entrance examination, Jueyin was admitted to the French Department of Beijing Foreign Studies University and began his university career.
Buddhist scriptures gradually entered my heart
When he first entered college, Master Jueyin, who loved learning, often sat quietly in the library. Here, his impetuous mind was calmed and he wandered among the vast books. ocean.
However, not all the books in the library are in his eyes. Although his major is French, we ordinary people are accustomed to reading French-related books, but in fact, he is not interested in it. Instead, I focused on philosophy books.
Perhaps he is eager to find the habitat of his soul and the company to talk to it. Because there are many unknowns and puzzles about life and death hidden in his mind, he longs for philosophical books to give him answers. Day after day, he read a lot of books related to philosophy, but the doubts in his heart still existed, and he had not been answered. He was still searching.
Obviously, philosophy cannot bring him out, nor can it be used as a ferryman for his soul. Finally, after many inquiries and inquiries, he had new reading materials, various religious books, and then he studied religious books like a sleepless night to understand the thoughts of various Zen sects.
During this period, he often dreamed of Buddha statues, pagodas and temples, met the Buddha, and walked into Buddhist places wearing cassocks. Dreams are an extension and demonstration of reality. During the day, he relied on the words in the book to imagine the world in Buddhism, and at night it was played out in his dreams.
It is difficult to know the sound, and it is hard to come by the knowledge. It is a rare encounter in a thousand years. It is not easy to meet a close friend in life. It took many looking back for Yu Boya to meet Zhong Ziqi. At this time, Buddhist books became his close friend, comforting him and solving his doubts.
Among the classmates, there are also people who are similar to bosom friends. Their recognition and obsession with Buddhist scriptures can be said to be like-minded, and they have all found what they want.
In the days to come, he will not be alone around Buddhist books. He will have a group of friends with whom he can discuss Buddhism. Even though his current understanding still seems a bit superficial and primitive, after the exchange, he has learned a lot. own gains and understanding.
When they have time, this group of students who are friends with Buddhism make an appointment to visit Buddhist temples, burn incense and worship Buddha, and sit and meditate in the temple. Attending Dharma conferences and listening to Buddhist teachings are common arrangements on Sundays. In the dormitory of a master classmate, we recite scriptures together, which is full of Buddha nature.
He would take the opportunity to listen to lectures in the monastery. Over and over again, he inadvertently developed a feeling of emptiness. This is a state and an invisible intuition. He recorded these subtle feelings and stored them in his mind.
Once, I went to a temple with friends who loved Buddhism, but Master Jueyin saw the Bodhisattva there. So many dreams were finally restored in front of me. He was overjoyed. After all, it was something he had always dreamed of. He thought he was one step closer to the Dharma.
Undoubtedly, there was a long-standing agreement that the encounter with Buddhism must be a kind of fate, and Buddhism accepted itself. From then on, the issues of eternal life and the joys and sorrows of life were no longer simply surrounding his heart, but also filled with corresponding cognitions and insights.
Buddhism in the university was a unique presence in Master Jueyin’s life, and gradually penetrated into his blood and bone marrow.
Established a public office as a monk
Graduation came as scheduled. In 1992, Master Jueyin graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University and was assigned to the Hainan Provincial Public Security Department and became a public servant. Such a position was undoubtedly the coveted dream of people at that time. After all, it was what people called an iron rice bowl, which meant having a stable income and a superior status, and the future would be bright.
It is difficult for the world to understand that Master Jueyin would choose to leave public service and become a monk. In fact, in the Public Security Bureau, I had already regarded Buddhism as a part of my life. I never let go of the scroll and continued to study Buddhism carefully during work.
At the same time, the work in the Public Security Department seemed too easy, so that Jueyin felt that he had nothing to do. He did not want to breathe in such a boring space. He wanted to live in Buddhism, which was the purpose of his life. color.
So, although there were many puzzled looks behind him, he just left a trace of his back and resolutely walked towards a temple. He knew that in the temple, the road ahead would be bleak, without any light, and he could only be a volunteer. But being in the temple was better than any preferential treatment from public office. His perception is close to the Dharma and connected with each other.
Meditating and listening to scriptures became commonplace and became the main content of his daily life. His state was observed by the master in the temple. After all, it is rare for people to be so addicted to Buddhism, and it is fate.
Soon after, he obeyed the recommendation of the master in the temple and went to another temple - Dinghui Temple. Master Jueyin already had Buddhist teachings in his heart. Even in a new place, he calmed down and studied hard.
After being tonsured, he became a veritable Buddhist practitioner. In Dinghui Temple, Jueyin learned from Master Mingshan, a famous master in Buddhism who practiced Buddhism. He has profound and profound thoughts, and the name of Jueyin comes from him.
Now that he has entered Buddhism, Jueyin has realized many true meanings of Buddhism through devout practice. Later, through the introduction of the great Buddhist master Yuanyin, I was fortunate enough to go to other famous temples to continue my practice and enlightenment.
Summary
As a practitioner, Master Jueyin has walked his own path and lived his own wonderful life. Even though there are only a few people on this path, Zi Feiyu Anzhi The joy of fish has its own value in Buddhism. It can heal the devastated scene and return to the inner truth.
The public servant of the Public Security Department is not the destination and value expression of Master Jueyin. He has the path he thinks is right. Once he chooses it, he will set foot on it and immerse himself in it.
What is the value of life? There is no standard answer at all. The value cannot measure whether a person's path is correct or not. It can be an ordinary public security officer, supporting justice and safeguarding the law; it can also be a temple. The mage delivers purity and sincerity to those who come and go, soothing their restless hearts. People cannot be indifferent to value and must welcome, understand, and accept any value.
