I finally finished reading this book. It is really a good book. If I had read it earlier, my life would not be like this. This book is one of the series "Between Mystery and Enlightenment". The book uses examples from our daily lives to explain things that people don't take seriously. There are also mistakes I often make in my daily life. After reading them, I realized myself and realized that bad habits are a major obstacle in life. Just like when my hand was injured, if I had driven slower and not overtaken, If you are calm and calm, nothing will happen to you.
The book details the big and small things happening now, good and bad, everything is a teaching material, allowing us to see the true nature of things clearly, it is like guiding a bright road, allowing those who go forward to walk leisurely court. Although Master Hsing Yun is a Buddhist, he does not advocate that we follow the Buddha in everything. As the book says, it is better to be a Buddha yourself than to believe in the Buddha and seek the Buddha. The book mainly focuses on confusion and enlightenment. When you are confused, enlightenment lies in its path. Confusion and enlightenment only happen in one thought. Once you are confused, you will be filled with sorrow and mist; if you are enlightened with one thought, you will be enlightened. Just as the sutra says: "Trouble is Bodhi, Bodhi is trouble." The sourness of pineapples and grapes can become sweet taste through the sunshine and the blowing of wind. Therefore, if you can understand the sourness of confusion and undergo some self-reflection and contemplation, you will now be able to realize the sweetness of enlightenment. It is written in the "Sixth Patriarch's Altar Sutra": "If you are not enlightened, Buddhas are all living beings; with one thought, all living beings are Buddhas." Confusion and enlightenment are often just a matter of one thought. I pray that these series of books can gently tap into everyone’s inherent pure Buddha nature, so that readers can turn confusion into enlightenment, pain into happiness, and ordinary life into holiness.
