What does it mean to go further

A hundred feet ahead, go further", from a verse in the Buddhist scriptures, the original text is: "A hundred feet of progress does not move people, although it is not true." Progress must be made in a hundred feet, and the world of the ten directions is the whole body.

It means that even if the cultivation reaches the top of the realm, there is still no relaxation, and we must continue to work hard and concentrate on cultivation in order to truly transcend the world and achieve the ideal state of perfection. This seemingly ordinary Buddhist scripture verse contains the spiritual realm of being aggressive, indomitable, persevering, and striving to climb, inspiring aspirants to actively face reality and take the initiative to meet various challenges. Especially at the beginning of the new year, it can inspire people to forge ahead, inspire people to work hard, strive for the top, take a new starting point, and take a solid step.

As the saying goes, you can see far when you climb high. Lofty ideals and beliefs are an inexhaustible spiritual driving force that inspires and motivates people to climb and forge ahead. In real life, especially under the current market economy conditions, some people believe in the supremacy of money, think that money is omnipotent, take this as the only pursuit of life, and give up lofty ideals, resulting in spiritual emptiness, depression, decadence in life, pessimism and negativity, and loss of enterprising.

Therefore, lofty ideals, beliefs, and spiritual pursuits are the prerequisites for a person to keep forging ahead and achieve a career. Hundreds of studies first aspire, where there is a will, there is a way.

To make further progress, we need to be prepared for danger in times of peace and maintain a strong sense of crisis and urgency at all times. To make further progress, we must study hard and constantly improve ourselves. Lu Xun once said:

Dissatisfaction is the upward wheel". If human beings do not learn, it is impossible to progress, and if a person does not learn, he will be ignorant. We should regard learning as the eternal theme of life and the cause of lifelong struggle.

"A hundred feet ahead, go further" idiom story:

During the Song Dynasty, Changsha produced a high monk named Jing Cen, known as the master of recruitment. He studied the Dharma intensively, explained the Dharma in simple terms, and often lectured everywhere. The master's speech is simple and beautiful, and those who listen to it will always be deeply affected.

One day, Master Zhaoxian was invited to give a lecture in the Dharma Hall of a Buddhist temple. Although there were many monks who came to listen to the lecture, there was silence in the Dharma hall except for the voice of the master. After the master finished speaking, a monk stood up, asked him a prostration, and then asked a few questions for the master to answer.

The master returned the salute and replied slowly.

When the monk heard what he didn't understand, he asked the master a question, so the two of them asked and answered, and the atmosphere was cordial and natural. They were talking about the ten worlds, the highest state of Buddhism. In order to explain what was going on in the Ten Directions World, Master Zhaoxian took out an occasional post on the spot.

The so-called even post is a book that records the lyrics in Buddhism.

The master pointed to a passage on the puppet post and chanted: "The head of a hundred zhang poles is not moving, although it is not true that you know that you have won people." The head of the hundred zhang pole must progress, and the world of the ten directions is the whole body.

Only by correcting their own learning attitude, not being satisfied with their current situation, and constantly striving for progress, can people reach the peak of knowledge, but even if they reach the peak, they should "make further progress".
