Buddhists often talk about practice. There are many methods of practice, but there are a few points related to the mentality of modern people and the concepts of psychology. Now I will share with you. In the practice of Buddha nature, there are patience and humiliation. The effect of self-cultivation to save people and bring happiness and wisdom, so to put it simply from the perspective of physiognomy, if you see a great monk with kind eyebrows and kind eyes in life, it proves that he has reached a certain level of cultivation, because "the appearance comes from the heart" Saving oneself and saving others is an important spirit of the Mahayana Bodhisattva's precepts. Only by passing one's own test can one understand the suffering of all sentient beings and be saved by loving kindness. Therefore, the purpose of "Doing no evil, practicing good deeds, and purifying one's mind is Buddhism" is to advise us, Yunyun, to strictly abide by the prohibitions.
But people are emotional animals, and they will definitely have troubles and emotions. Just like modern people often have depression and seek help from psychologists. This is a way to seek help and psychological adjustment from outside, but in the process There will always be social problems and other dangers in life, family discord is also common, and life difficulties will also arise. This is contrary to the inner peace advocated by Buddhism. The purpose of all "Heart is like a mirror" is to enable us to illuminate ourselves, recognize the problem, understand where our emotions originate and how they can pass away...
Therefore, it is necessary to know yourself and spend time cultivating yourself to understand the six afflictions: greed, anger, ignorance, jealousy, pride, and doubt.
One is greed, and "greed" is often associated with wealth and profit. "Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way". The Buddha also told all sentient beings not to have greedy thoughts. As the saying goes, "When a thought arises, millions of obstacles will open." In order to achieve all kinds of greedy wishes, ordinary people will inevitably have random thoughts and cause all kinds of disasters. At the same time, they will use any means for the sake of wealth and gain. Of course, I think striving for personal wealth and starting a business are worth advocating in modern society, but how to abide by business ethics, practice integrity, and eliminate greed are important issues that most businessmen should consider, because undeserved wealth is like a "blade" If you lick the honey, you may cut your tongue."
The second is anger, which is nameless karmic fire. Once angry, people are most likely to become hot-headed. There is a famous saying in modern management, I think it has to do with family and husband-wife relationships. A useful quote: Don’t make any decisions when you’re angry. In ordinary life, burning anger poses many hidden dangers. The Buddha said: Anger is the fire in the heart and can burn the forest of merit. Indeed, there are endless examples of criminal behavior caused by "anger" in life; according to Guangzhou TV reports, not long ago a truck driver went to a customer to collect arrears, had a quarrel, and did not receive the payment. He was so angry that after leaving the stall When he saw the cargo owner's son playing on the roadside, he hit the car directly. As a result, he was seriously injured and died after being sent to the hospital. Therefore, we can see that "anger" really has the potential to get out of hand! I advise all my friends to stop being angry...
The third factor is delusion. "Infatuation" is originally used here to mean "obsession and intoxication." When analyzed, the "infatuation" of literati and modern people should be viewed objectively. The "indulgence" of the literati is reflected in the poems and songs of talented women such as Jinling Twelve Hairpins and Daiyu in the Dream of Red Mansions, as well as the extravagance of rowing and chanting lotuses. In "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion", it is also a world-shattering kind of "indulgence". , the steadfastness and perseverance of weeping ghosts and gods, in "The Swordsman" is a "smiling smile" with "looking up to the sky and tears welling up". This natural emotion is often praised and praised by people, but among all living beings there are still ignorant people. , in life, I don’t know what I am doing or where my heart is. I waste my life in the world, forgetting my own value and the contribution I can bring to society. A few decades ago, young students still had the ability to " With the ambition of "study for the rise of China", today's youth, especially many college students, are "addicted" to online games, love, boring comics and novels. In the dormitories of boys and girls, boys' computers are online game consoles, and girls' computers are VCD player, on the eve of graduation, many college students can't even finish a decent PPT, and they can't speak fluent English. My friend who once was at the Chinese Normal University asked me what advice I have for my junior brothers and sisters. I think that if we can Integrating the spirit of "craziness" into the study of two major tools, "English" and "Computer", in addition to the study of professional courses during school, will definitely benefit a lot in society! Now that I think about it, the ancients’ saying that “diligence is more important than hard work, and playfulness is more wasteful” is indeed very reasonable...
The fourth is jealousy, and "jealousy" can make people disorderly. It turns out that Sisters can become estranged enemies. Jealousy has produced countless villains and breeds boundless evil in this world, because her harm is so obvious. Without spending too much ink, everyone can understand why. Cultivate your moral character, face others with the feelings of brothers and sisters, and face various encounters in life with the open-mindedness of "not taking pleasure in things, not feeling sad in yourself".
The fifth is pride. Here I understand "slowness" as "arrogance", which is also a humble attitude towards others. Buddhism pays attention to compassion and compassion. "Avalokitesvara Sutra" "It is the mind that is the Buddha, it is the mind that is the Buddha", which can be understood as the same state of mind. If we hope that the people around us can smile at us, we must first learn to smile at others. Impetuous young people often think that they are The world's top talents turn their noses up at other people's so-called experience. This kind of disrespectful behavior often brings consequences!
Because you have an arrogant heart, which invisibly brings resistance and disgust to others. You cannot understand other people's thoughts because others are unwilling to help you. So the higher your position, the less opportunity you have to hear other people's opinions. This is a saying that I think can be regarded as a classic in any industry. We should not have arrogance. When we have this thought, it is like ripples on the water. In fact, we know very well in our hearts. The test is whether we can restrain this arrogance in the most subconscious psychological behavior.
The sixth one is doubt. It makes sense that "doubt" ranks after "arrogance" among the six worries. Because of arrogance, we cannot "follow the good and listen to the good words". Because of arrogance, we cannot appreciate and get help from others, because even if others extend a helping hand to us, they may be rejected by us. In my understanding here, many people are full of doubts about the enthusiasm of others, stick to their own thinking patterns and behavioral habits, and are unwilling to accept new ideas. In the marketing industry I work in, this phenomenon often occurs, such as many Traditional methods are actually not without creativity, and they are also very reasonable and marketable. Why do many students always have doubts about other people's successful methods after hearing them, "Is this really how to succeed?", "There must be other methods." Method". More students are willing to rack their brains to invent new methods in the marketing industry and put aside the established models given by their instructors. It is a pity because the set he abandoned is that many people repeat it over and over again and get results if they persist. Methods. McDonald's method of success is very simple, just follow his system, "Pour salt in your right hand at a 45-degree angle, shake it three times, the oil temperature is 170-180°C, keep it for 17-20 seconds, and it's golden." In fact, we don't need to Is it okay to doubt other people’s methods? Since we haven’t tried it yet, please go “try”!
After writing the "Six Annoyances", or I can call them the "Six Precepts" from a personal point of view, because I learned about these words by chance a few years ago, I I am constantly adjusting my mentality and honing my attitude towards people and things, because this is a necessary stage for forging a perfect person. It is like a Smodak sword on my head, so that I can face it calmly and calmly. The dilemmas, crises, hardships, joys and ecstasies of life.
