The old monk analyzes the words of the little monk

This story is based on the interpretation of the Sutra of the Six Patriarchs, just reading the scriptures can not be enlightened, to hone the understanding in the world, just honing the sublimation of theory is not enough, so it is a combination of theory and practice.

Think about it, can learning, just memorizing theorems, really solve the problem? No. It will only be used if you understand. Thinking is the most important.

Amitabha! Senior brother, we must look through the words of the sutra to see the Buddhist principles behind it. As the Buddha said: According to the righteousness, not according to the word!

Of course, this is about karma, such as the six ancestors of the master, although he does not know a big word, but when he hears it: he should have no place to live and give birth to his heart! Then you will realize it now! We don't necessarily have such causes for wisdom, so we should read the scriptures and ask for good knowledge.

As Master Bodhidharma said: If you want to find a Buddha, you must see nature. Sex is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the self-contained person, who has nothing to do and nothing to do.

If you don't see sex, you will be vast all day long, and you will not be able to find the Buddha Yuan. Although there is nothing to be obtained, if you ask for it, you must also refer to the knowledge, and you must ask for it so that your heart will understand. Life and death are big things, and you can't be empty, and it's useless to blame yourself.

Even if there are delicacies like mountains, and dependents are like the sand of the Ganges River, can you see them when you open your eyes? Therefore, there is a way to know what to do, such as dreams, etc. If you don't rush to find a teacher, you will live an empty life.

However, the Buddha nature is self-existent, and if it is not due to the teacher, it will eventually be unknown. Not because of the teacher, there is a hope. If you meet with fate and get the will of the saints, you don't need to participate in good knowledge.

This is born to know, and it is better to learn. If you do not understand it, you must study diligently, because the teaching can be realized.

The old monk's way of life can be summarized as follows:

1.Life is not easy, don't laugh at others. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and everyone has a song that is difficult to sing.

2.Self-aware people are never good at being ambitious, nor are they arrogant, they are not frightened, and they are not surprised by their gains and losses.

3.Don't complain that people's hearts are too complicated, they are the needs of the story, and life does not have a fixed meaning, but sometimes, it is true that there can be no misunderstanding and distortion of too many books.

4.To be a happy person, you don't need to ask yourself what you can do, you need to really ask whether you are truly happy.

5.Taste life, the first tea: its taste is very bitter; The second course of tea: bitter and sweet; The third course of tea: light and flavorful.

6.Whose life is perfect, whose life is not cold, who dares to guarantee that life has always been proud. No one is perfect.

7.To be a man, we must pursue infinite eternity with a limited life, and don't worry about the right and wrong of small people, and waste a good life.

8.You may meet a lot of people who make your heart flutter, but it is difficult for you to meet people who have always been at ease.

In short, the old monk's way of life emphasizes a simple, authentic, and comfortable way of life, and faces the challenges and confusions in life with an inclusive, peaceful, and rational attitude.

Summary. Hello dear! Little monk, after reading the stories of the three monks, you must know that you must have faith and firm will to be a human being, and no matter what difficulties and challenges you encounter, you must face and overcome them bravely.

Hello dear! Little monk, after reading the story of the three brigade banquets and the monk Shenshu, you must know that you must have faith and firm will to be a man, and no matter what difficulties and challenges you encounter, you must bravely face and overcome them.

Kiss! At the same time, we must respect others, do not easily hurt the feelings and dignity of others, and treat others with a kind and benevolent attitude, so as to obtain the happiness and happiness of the true sect.

The old monk asked the young monk to bring the bowl he usually used for karma, and told him to take a bunch of walnuts and put them in the bowl until he couldn't put it down. Then he told him to take some rice and put it in the bowl, so that he could put it in. And he told him to take some water and pour it into the bowl, that he might put it in.

I took another spoonful of salt and poured it into the bowl, and I could still put it in. After the bowl is full of walnuts, so many things can be put in because there are gaps in the reed pants between the walnuts.

The old monk asked the little monk: Understood? The little monk was at a loss.

So, the old monk asked the little monk to bring another empty bowl, first put water, then a spoonful of salt, and then rice, and when the bowl was filled with rice, the water began to overflow. The old monk asked the little monk to put more walnuts, but he couldn't put a single one. Only then did Xiaohe Sou Beishang understand what the old monk meant, if he first filled those small and trivial things, then he could no longer enlarge the core things; But if you grasp the core, the big things, those small, trivial things can be included.

Some people compare the bowl in this story to our life, that is, in the process of our life growth, we should first grasp the big walnut, which can hold many other things, but if we are always worried and laboring on some small details, then we will not be able to fit the big walnut in our lifetime.
