How can I become a monk and escape from the world?

Friend, I recommend an article for your reference: Escape and Pursuit-Conversation with Li Zhi. There is a poem named "Life" on the North Island, with only one word-net. This poem is recognized as the shortest good poem because it accurately summarizes the characteristics of life. Everyone is a point in this net, and countless intersecting lines pass through your point, connecting you with everything. From a philosophical point of view, it also embodies the essential characteristics of human society. Because man is not an "independent and free" individual from birth, his every move, words and deeds are influenced by the society in which he lives, and his actions will inevitably have an impact on the world around him. People all over the world are on some invisible networks, big or small, bound by them and moving with them. With the development of human society, these networks have gradually become a big network. As a net, it has a net binding effect. Some people are tired of being bound by the net, so they want to get rid of it. So most people choose to become monks, which is also called "escaping into an empty door". Among them, successful people can use compassion to help those who remain in this network (secular). However, "the cloud may not be empty", as long as it is still in life, how can we get rid of this huge network? Therefore, this separation is more of a spiritual pursuit. A few days ago, Chen became a monk, which aroused heated discussions among people all over the world, including some critics and some sympathizers. Yu expressed his views on various discussions: "This is an era of lack of faith, and a group of people who don't know what faith is are commenting on a person who has begun to choose faith. People without faith look so superior and argumentative, but they are really poor. " This discussion continued until Chen really left this world, that is, a few months after her death. I thought of another monk, Li Zhi, more than 400 years ago, that is, the Ming Dynasty thinker who claimed to be a heresy in our high school history textbook. Give him a brief introduction first: Li Zhi, also known as Li Zaizhi, 1527 was born in Quanzhou, Fujian in early winter. His family's original surname was Lin, but later it was changed to Li to avoid disaster. Lin Biao, the sixth ancestor, was a giant businessman in Quanzhou. He was ordered to do business in the west. He was rich. When Li Zhi was born, the Ming Dynasty had entered Jiajing for six years, and the "sea ban" had started, and his family had fallen. Under the pressure of life, he had to find another way out. Li Zhi, aged 26, was admitted to 1552. Because of financial difficulties, I can no longer patiently strive for the qualification of Jinshi, that is, I am required to work in the government according to the rules. After many years of ups and downs in the next generation, I am humble and depressed. /kloc-became a monk in 0/588, and began to write books and make a name for himself. If there is a magical technology that can make me instantly return to the Ming Dynasty and have a conversation with Li Zhi who became a monk a few years later, or even if I just meet Li Zhi in my mind, please allow me to assume that I have such a conversation with Li Zhi: I: Mr. Zhuowu, I want to ask you why you became a monk? Lu: It is because there are too many obstacles. I think you should know something about my time. As you probably know, the only way for a lower class family to live a stable life and gain social prestige is to study and be an official. However, this long road is difficult to complete by one person. Usually, my ancestors have been working hard and hard. After several generations, they gradually gained a certain economic status, which can give future generations the opportunity to receive education. The self-sacrifice of mothers and wives is countless. On the surface, the pen and ink in the examination room can make a generation shabby and stand out from the crowd, but in fact, the hard work behind it has lasted for a long time. This honor is not a matter for one person, but is based on the whole family. Therefore, people who have obtained official titles must bear all moral responsibilities to their families and safeguard the collective concept of unity. Generally speaking, we must also take care of other members of the whole family. This economic interest was elevated to morality. Contemporary scholars have to obey this tool. Once an official, he was expected and persecuted. That's all. I don't agree. Being an official and buying land is not my only way out. I have my own way of thinking and my own way to go. Me: Then your relatives should put a lot of pressure on you, right? Lu: Exactly. Other people in my family always want me to go home, but they always come from thousands of miles away and use worldly things to force me to be strong, so I shaved my hair to show that I won't go home, and worldly things will definitely not care about me. Moreover, most ignorant people here regard me as a heresy, so I am a heresy, in the name of being an upright man. Later, my nephew was appointed as my successor. I wrote in my suicide note that I would not let him cry for my funeral, and no one would report my death to him. Me: quite angry. Is that the whole reason why you became a monk? Lu: No. People often say that I am an independent and uninhibited person. As an official, I often confront my superiors. After retirement, as a "township official", although he has nothing to do, he has to be subject to local officials because of his official position, or be invited to assist in official duties or attend ceremonies. This is a lot of pressure for me, not my will. So shave off your hair. And most importantly, the purpose of my life is to pursue myself. Only knowledge is the hardest thing in the world. Since I became a monk, I want to travel around the world to win my friends. It is a joy to win us and become me. Those who win me will know me. These are two kinds of happiness. With this second happiness, you are not afraid to abandon your family and go to Chu. Me: What did you do after you became a monk? Lu: Writing is the first priority. Although I entered an empty door, I didn't take the precepts or attend the daily chanting. I have read many books, including the interpretation of poetry, the observation of historical materials, the criticism of literary works and the development of ethical philosophy. I used various forms, such as papers, essays, poems and letters. I'm not talking about orthodox Confucianism, so I know this is intolerable to the court, so I named my first book "Burning Books", which is estimated to be burned sooner or later. Another book, Collection of Books, means to hide the famous mountains and wait for time to come out. And "Innocent Children" is a work to persuade the world to be pure. Me: Have you been quiet since you became a monk? Can you be isolated from the world? Lu: Not quiet. The purpose of my writing is to combine the private interests of scholars with the morality of the public. However, I still can't find a way to reconcile the conflict between the two, so I ask this question. I have been criticizing those people whose words and deeds are different, those hypocritical people, but to be honest, after I criticize these people, I have to rely on their support to live. This is my secret pain. Inconsistency between words and deeds is a common social phenomenon, and I am not completely divorced from it, but I can openly say my selfish side. Isolation is impossible. With the spread of my works, my fame is getting bigger and bigger, and I am no longer worried about the problem of financial resources, because gentry often offer to help me, and I never refuse. Besides, my works are all about current events, which keeps me in close contact with the secular world. Yuan Zhongdao once criticized me for wandering around the world, focusing on the strategy of using the world, which is a unique official career. I should have forgotten the world and entertained myself with pen and ink, but it was always related to bureaucracy, and the more famous I was, the more "the disaster started from the name." Me: How do you understand becoming a monk? Lu: In my opinion, Buddha Sakyamuni is a monk who quit his job and Confucius is a monk who lives at home. What is becoming a monk at home? Because Confucius regarded wealth as a cloud, he marched in all directions with only 3,700 people, from Shanxi in the west to Chu in the south, seeking friends day and night. Although he is called at home, he is a lifelong monk. And I became a monk at home first, and then I resigned. Me: In my time, a holy one said in a speech: "Many people say that Buddhism advocates birth. In fact, Buddhism pays more attention to joining the WTO. It is impossible to be born without the basic moral training of joining the WTO. Many people treat me like a monk and ask me,' Hello! Monk, if everyone becomes a monk, won't mankind be extinct in this world?' On this occasion, I usually ask him,' How many monks are there like me in this world?' Because not everyone can become a monk, everyone is suitable for becoming a monk. Although Buddhism is willing to spare all sentient beings and be happy to be free from suffering and life and death, it can't actually make all people become monks. Therefore, Buddhism believes that only a good family can produce a good monk. If parents don't fulfill their responsibilities as parents, children don't fulfill their filial piety, teachers don't fulfill their responsibilities as teachers, and friends don't fulfill their responsibilities as friends, the qualifications of such people to become Buddhists are questionable, and becoming a monk is even more problematic. Only by meeting the basic requirements of being a man can we further consider whether it is suitable for becoming a monk ... "So do you think you have fulfilled your responsibilities as a family before becoming a monk? Do you feel guilty about your family? Lu: If you are guilty, you are guilty of my wife. (Long silence) My wife is a standard wife and mother. She is kind-hearted and has an appointment to manage the family. She is willing to put up with everything for me, and she can follow any decision I make, but I have been wandering around all my life and rarely let her live a stable life. Later, I decided to live in a Buddhist temple near Macheng, and she returned to her hometown in Quanzhou after 20 years' absence. In the fifteenth year of Wanli (1587), my wife asked me to go back to Quanzhou many times before she died. I didn't listen, but I didn't expect it to be forever. After hearing her bad news, I didn't dream about her all night. In uncontrollable grief, I wrote six mourning poems for her. Knowing this pain, I feel more guilty and guilty, so I think more carefully about the concept of becoming a monk. My good friend Zeng Jiquan once had a plan to become a monk. I advised him to think twice before you act, because he has a wife and concubine but no children. Once you become a monk, not only will no one inherit your property, but your wives and concubines will also have nowhere to live. This is an unfriendly move. Me: Do you regret becoming a monk? Lu: No regrets. Only by becoming a monk can I have enough space for free thinking and complete a search for the true meaning of life. Only in this way can I get rid of the laity and become a noble person. ..... My conversation with Li Zhuowu ended in such a hurry. He was a great thinker in Ming Dynasty and a thinker full of contradictions. He put forward a series of revolutionary ideas about his real world at that time, but they were not suitable for the contemporary world. Finally, Li Zhi was arrested for being "confused", 1602, and 72 old men committed suicide. He spoke highly of his book collection before his death, and hoped that this book could be made thousands of years later, which would become the lecture notes for banquets and the standard for selecting scholars. However, only we know clearly that this can only be an eternal dream. After this conversation, I understand more-people are social animals. No matter how much you want to get rid of your society, or how much you want to go beyond this era, you are destined to be a person in this society, and everything about you has been deeply branded with this era. We can't get rid of the bondage of the internet, which doesn't necessarily control our mood. Happiness comes from the heart, and a healthy mind can be created by yourself.
