Repeatedly read an article recently written by Nan Jie, a normal student in Yan 'an, "Inner Peace". In his article, he said, "Abandon all glitz and temptations, sit quietly in the forest, listen to birds and sounds of nature, and you will feel cool all over ... Only when you are in a quiet heart can you think about life quietly and see your heart on the clear and calm water."
It is difficult for a person to achieve "inner peace". Everyone has desires, because there are desires in his heart, it is difficult to achieve a "pure heart" and achieve a "clear heart" and "artistic conception" life realm. Can South Street really do it? Who can be completely "quiet"?
Nanjie is a very inspirational person and has always been everything I learn. He is a writer and a practitioner. He loves reading, and he keeps practicing calligraphy every day, especially his writing skills. His prose and poems are even more vivid, and between the lines are heartfelt words. At the peak of his writing, he wrote an article almost every day, which not only made me jealous, but also made my mouth water! I haven't seen him in the circle of friends for a long time recently, nor have I seen his articles and calligraphy. In his article, he said, "I met many friends and asked me why I haven't seen you write articles or practice calligraphy recently. I replied that the cervical vertebra oppressed my nerves and I was dizzy, so I stopped writing. In fact, it is restless, impetuous and troublesome. I was also in a bad mood when I saw my old father's unwell and painful expression. I talked to my father as much as possible to reduce his loneliness. I am sorry to see my sister ill. Although I am the elder sister, I love and like her as much as my mother, and feel that elder sister is our support. Elder sister is ill, and my heart is twisted. Besides, I get dizzy from time to time. All these make me unable to calm down and have no intention to write words that are difficult to express my feelings. " Yes, Nanjie is a very real person, a very filial and caring person. In many of his articles, there are shadows of his father and sister, as well as his true love!
In fact, life is a wonderful thing, where it comes from, it will go back, especially after middle age. Looking back, the long, straight or tortuous road we walked in front has shrunk into a small dot. Along the way, I feel all the way, and I feel all the way. With bitterness and sadness, the joy I get makes people laugh, and the loneliness I lose makes people sigh. Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, and everything is only half satisfactory. Only by living in the present, letting go of yourself and being happy with the situation, "knowing enough is not humiliating, knowing that it is not dangerous." Wang Yangming, a thinker, educator and master of psychology in the Ming Dynasty, once wrote a poem: "Hungry to eat, tired to sleep, only this practice is more mysterious. Say that you don't believe in the world, but you want to find a fairy. " Is to tell people to let nature take its course, do whatever they want, and be happy with it. Where a leaf falls, it is a home; A flower is fragrant wherever it blooms. Be at ease with fate. When you are proud, "Oh, let a man with spirit take risks where he wants to go, and never point his golden cup at the moon empty!" " And "the spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, and you can see all the Chang' an flowers in one day"; When frustrated, "Don't waste time when frustrated, where is the breeze?" "Since God has given talent, let it be employed! , spin one thousand silver, all back! "... a person's life is full of gains and losses, and there are cycles of advantages and disadvantages. If you want to have the best of both worlds, you will lose sight of one thing and the other. "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. "
A grain of dust contains a world, and a wild flower contains a heaven. What life lacks is not scenery, but a pair of eyes that discover beauty. When I was a child, black and white were all colored in my eyes; When you grow up, the color is black and white in your eyes. Why is the world complicated and life boring? It is because in the process of growing up, we ask too much, want too much, often run out of the standard of beauty, and pursue success and perfection excessively, but we have never looked at problems with a simple mind like children, and realized the true meaning and simplicity of life, thus making ourselves "look at mountains instead of mountains, water instead of water". "The entanglement is only in my heart." Only by abandoning unnecessary delusions and abnormal hearts will the water fade away and suddenly become clear. As Nan Jie said in his article, "I always feel that when people are young, they are always doing addition. When they see others pushing and making progress, they want to do it themselves. I want to see others make money, too. I also want to see others pursue beautiful things. When people are old, they are always doing subtraction, gradually subtracting all the pursuits one by one, until only the body is left and they return to a baby-like state ... "Great! I am glad that South Street has returned to nature. "See mountains as mountains, see water as water", "See mountains or mountains, see water or water". Yes, the same scenery presents different shapes in different people's eyes. For example, lonely people like late at night, affectionate people like dusk, happy people like sunshine and sad people prefer rainy days.
"Caigen Tan" said: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, which means that deliberately seeking peace is actually the root of unrest. In fact, it is precisely because our hearts can't calm down that we will persistently look for a quiet place, but even if we find a quiet place, can we really be quiet? True peace is peace of mind. "People don't think of running water, but in view of the water cut, only they can stop people." If you don't flow horizontally, your heart is like water, stopping water and making waves. A peaceful mind can precipitate many complicated and impetuous thoughts in life. There is a poem that says, "A peaceful mind, like water, is extraordinary and free from vulgarity. Why a Zen must have mountains and water, but it is cold when it comes. " The Buddha said that "a pure heart is pure land", a pure heart is pure land everywhere, and there are obstacles in the heart that are purgatory everywhere. As the saying goes, "the blessings and misfortunes of life are all caused by thinking about life." Get rid of distractions, be calm as water, and people's childlike innocence will naturally appear. Seeing mountains as mountains and water as water, Zhuge Liang said, "If you are not quiet, you will not be far away, and if you are indifferent, you will be ignorant." Life is like a drifting dream, because you can't see through it, you can't guess it, you have a dream in your heart, but it's too far away to see or touch it. Everyone wants to be the master of life and destiny, do vigorous things and live a rich life, but the ideal is too full and the reality is too skinny. Each of us is a cow in reality. Fate and ideal are the "shepherd boys" who lead us and make you involuntarily. If you break the reins, you will become a "bison" that doesn't listen to your orders, and you will be beaten black and blue, and eventually you will have to go back to your bullpen ... We are born to be human, so don't always imagine that life will be full, accompanied by a cool breeze and a bright moon every day, bathed in flowers; Not everyone can get what they want, get what they want, and get what they want all their lives. Most people are struggling with difficulties and twists and turns, carrying forward with heavy burdens, full of lofty sentiments but gaining little hope. They often trudge through the endless rivers in Qian Shan, tasting bitterness and impatience, experiencing setbacks and bumps, and crying. But this is life! As the saying goes, "As you sow, you reap", but in real life, as you sow, you reap? If you plant a millet in spring, will you surely reap 10,000 seeds in autumn? Pay and gain are sometimes absolutely disproportionate! Give and take, and gain and loss will be easy. Maybe we gave up boats and horses, but what we gained was an indifferent attitude and a life of returning to nature. Therefore, you no longer have impetuous and delusional thoughts in your heart, and your attitude is young. Just like an innocent child, you will find that life is so simple and colorful.
How many people spend their whole lives competing for fame and fortune with the city, but looking back, who is not just a passer-by in the universe, and finally dust returns to dust, and soil returns to soil. Awakened, relieved, there will be "don't be surprised, just look at the flowers in front of the court; I have no intention of staying or staying, but I feel calm and carefree. Life is not simple, why not live simply? Life has abused me thousands of times, but I regard you as my first love! When you are tired, stop living, rest your feet, give your soul a holiday, put aside everything, ride the wind and carry the moon, smell the flowers and treat wine as a song. "If there is wine in life, there will be drunkenness. How can a drop go to Jiuquan? " The water in the river sometimes dries up, and so does life. When it's time to stop, learn to let go, empty your mind, blend in with nature, return to nature, and experience the truth of "no life" and the true meaning of life in a limited life, "integration of life and death", "whether it's ordinary" and "consistency of coming and going", knowing gains and losses, knowing advance and retreat; Do it, stop and stop; Do something, do something. Don't insist, let nature take its course and be calm, which is the best state of being alive. Life is to learn to make a telescope and see far; Learn the microscope and look carefully; Learn to see through with a magnifying glass; Finally, learn to smile at life in the mirror!
"University" talks about self-cultivation, "Zhi Zhi will decide later, be quiet again, think again, and get it." Therefore, "peace of mind is bright, clarity of mind is bright, clarity of mind is spiritual, and clarity of mind is wisdom." Calm and clear-headed. Be quiet without thinking, and be quiet to understand God. The most beautiful scenery in life is not painted with thick ink and heavy colors, but with a normal heart. Calm your heart, and you will look down on everything; Calm your heart and you will let go of everything. Inner peace, let nature take its course, leisurely, happy-go-lucky, kind and auspicious. There are flowers in spring, moons in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter. Life is like four seasons, with mixed feelings of sadness and joy. No one knows which comes first, tomorrow or the accident. Well, why not let nature take its course? "Don't worry, don't be happy." Jiang Yang can live a long and healthy life to the age of 105, which is inseparable from her contentment and indifference. "We were so eager for the waves of fate that we finally found that the most beautiful scenery in life is actually inner peace and calmness; We are so looking forward to the recognition of the outside world that we finally realize that the world is our own and has nothing to do with others. "
Life tells us that there are more and more yesterday, but less and less tomorrow. When you have been working nonstop all your life, you have traveled all over the world, met all the people and experienced ups and downs, where will you go, only to find that you are just looking for a way back to your heart, a way home.
Nanjie is a benchmark in my life, and he is already excellent! "I think therefore I am. In the quiet, find yourself ... "
Some people dislike that shoes don't fit, but others have no feet! A person always looks up to and envies the happiness of others, but finds that he may also be looked up to and envied by others. In fact, everyone has a happy side, but your happiness is often in the eyes of others. This may also be the weakness of our human nature. We envy what others have, but we don't know what others don't have.
Life is simple and happy; Life, happiness is happiness; Rich and poor, the richest is healthy. That's all!
