Putting it down is a rich nourishment of life.
Beautiful morning light, accompany you to read.
in this life, people are often busy and meticulous because of fame and fortune, and the more they live, the more tired they become.
do not realize that these "things outside the body" often become an "unbearable weight" in life.
many times, putting it down is the rich nourishment of life.
01
Let go
A lot of things can only be put down before we can start anew.
please! If the world is not a moth or a moth, how can you be a man? "
means:
where can't the space soar freely under the bright moon? But the moth must pounce on the candle;
clear spring water, green grass, which kind of thing can not be satisfied? On the other hand, owls like to eat dead mice.
Oh! How many people in the world are there who are as stupid as moths and owls?
therefore, the Buddha said: the sea of suffering is boundless, looking back is the shore.
Look gorgeous on any occasion in our wedding dresses with sleeves. Your dream garment is just a mouse click away.
in many cases, you don't have to go to the point where you don't hit the south wall and don't look back. If you turn around, you can have a bright future.
the Quan Yin Bodhisattva we see is either sitting on the lotus throne or stepping on auspicious clouds with kind eyes.
while in Longxing Temple in Hebei Province, there is a "Guanyin" sitting upside down, facing north.
coincidentally, many monasteries, such as Guanyin nunnery in Beijing and Guji Ming Temple in Nanjing, are also equipped with "inverted Guanyin".
looking into the reason, there is a couplet saying:
Zhang Guolao in the eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, the deepest impression on people is his "riding a donkey."
although it is only a legend, it actually has a profound meaning. There is a poem saying:
how many people in the world are like this old man;
is not riding a donkey backwards, looking back on everything.
the word "looking back" is often the most difficult for the world to achieve.
people are always used to clinging to it, knowing it's wrong, but refusing to stop;
knowing it's bad, but refusing to give up.
over and over again, I put myself in a difficult position to ride a tiger.
in fact, most of the time, you can't go back until you put it down, and you can start all over again.
as the Buddhist sutra says: how to go up, you have to put it down.

release
there is a saying in Daojing:
risk of life and death.
there are three out of ten people living, three out of ten dead, and three out of ten dead people's livelihood.
Why is my husband? Because of his life.
this sentence means: life and death have destiny, which is the law of heaven and earth.
long-lived people account for 3/10, and short-lived people account for 3/10.
but later, 3/10 of people went from longevity to short life.
this is often the result of obsession.
in fact, it's not just longevity. No matter what it is, it will do more harm than good if you cling to it too deeply.
if Li Bai is obsessed with the prosperity of the temple, how can he have the passion that "Hur will sell fine wine and sell eternal sorrows"?
if Tao Yuanming is obsessed with the salary of five buckets of rice, how can he "pick wild flowers by the fence and inadvertently see Nanshan"?
if Zeng Guofan persisted in pacifying the rebellion, how could there be a prosperous family that lasted for two hundred years?
the temptations and concerns of the world are all ropes.
most of the time, we are like a cow tied to a tree by a rope piercing its nose. We want to break free from the rope and graze freely, but we can't break free and can only circle around the tree.
in fact, grass is not only in the distance, but you can eat it by bowing your head.
only by letting go of the reins in your heart can you grasp the happiness in front of you. Put it down, and you will be free.

put it down and take it easy
Zhuangzi said:
those who do not care for life do not think.
those who live up to their destiny can do nothing about it.
means that people who have access to the facts of life do not pursue what is unnecessary in life.
people who know the truth about life do not do things that are powerless to life.
Cai Gentan also says:
to put it simply, it means to think clearly before you are born and after you die, your heart will return to peace and look down on everything.
there is such a story:
there was a rich man who felt unhappy all day, so he carried a lot of gold and silver treasure on his back and looked everywhere for happiness.
but I couldn't find it after traveling through thousands of mountains and rivers, so I couldn't help sighing.
at this time, a woodcutter came carrying a load of firewood.
the millionaire poured out his grievances: "I have a lot of wealth and have no worries about food and clothing. Why can't I always find happiness?"
the woodcutter put down the heavy wood on his shoulder, wiped the sweat and said, "actually, happiness is very simple."
for me, letting go is happiness! "
then the millionaire suddenly realized: how can he be happy if he carries so many treasures and worries about this and that?
so he gave away all his money and devoted himself to doing good deeds, and his heart was much happier.
this story does not tell the world that if you give up money, you have to be happy, but that most of the time, you have to take it easy.
Life is like a play, in which everyone plays a different role.
if you want to act well in the play of life, you are under your own control.
if you are too obsessed with the roleIt is inevitable to tread on thin ice and worry about gain and loss.
cloth bag and there is a poem: "if you walk, you will have a cloth bag, and if you sit, you will have a cloth bag." How comfortable it is to put down the cloth bag. "
putting it down is a kind of relief, a kind of calmness and indifference.
