    In fact, Shakyamuni Buddha never said that he wanted people to let go of everything, he was talking about letting go of self-attachment, not letting go of everything in the world. If a person lets go of everything in the world, either he has greater ambitions, or he gives up completely, and the greater ambitions include becoming a religious leader, a generation of religious leaders, saving mankind, hehe......That is, to save sentient beings, and so on, and many such people have successfully molded themselves into cult leaders throughout the ages. And complete abandonment is actually typical of depressed people, and it is severe.

    So the Buddha didn't let anyone let go of everything, greed as the root of reincarnation it not only makes people fall, it also brings growth to people, so Shakyamuni just said that greed is the cause of a person's reincarnation, it is the same as hatred, stupidity is a cause, but it does not mean that it is bad, it needs to be completely abandoned, completely abandon the idea that greed is also stupid, because it also has its positive side, for example, because you have greed, so you want to live a better life, and then you will work hard to practice and attain nirvana. This is actually the greatest greed in the world, and if a person has no greed at all, he doesn't want to make himself better, and naturally he doesn't have the strength to practice hard, let alone attain nirvana. So everything has two sides, and you can't just look at one side, and you can't just look at the other.

    When a person puts everything down, it's actually a very dangerous thing. Shakyamuni Buddha is so wise, so he never advocated that a person should let go of everything, but let a person let go of attachment, because the root of all suffering is not possession, but attachment to possession, and attachment to joy will suffer because of the disappearance of joy, because joy is impermanent, and all things that are pleasing to me will eventually be scattered; Attachment to suffering is unrelieved by the presence of suffering, because when attachment to suffering is suffering, you cannot experience impermanence, recognize impermanence, and this causes the duration of suffering to be prolonged in feeling or in fact.

    The so-called letting go of everything is actually letting go of this "me". Without this "me", there would be no suffering. Generally speaking, the meaning of life that we often talk about is nothing more than satisfying the joy of our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind.

    In the eyes of people, this is the meaning, this is the goal, but the Buddha said, in fact, this is upside down. We regard the body of the four false earths, water, fire, and wind as the real self, and the satisfaction of this self as happiness, which is the root of deep samsaric nirvana. You put it down, you can't pick it up after you put it down, it's like a dead heart.

    In the same way as stubborn emptiness, oneself is false, and others are false, and they are all false, and they are destroyed, as if the world has disappeared, and in order to extinguish suffering, they give rise to stubborn empty evil thoughts and destroy evil views. Those who study Hinayana do not understand the true meaning of non-judgment, impermanence. Thinking that entering and destroying is equal to extinguishing.

    Take a person as an example, for example, A Jun was born in a small mountain village and his family was poor, his ideal was to change the status quo and become wealthy without shortage of money to spend, but one day through his own efforts, he realized it. Bought a house in Beijing and became a middle class. In this way, it can be said that the dream of the past has come true.

    But after a few years, he realized that the realization of his dream was nothing more than that. Life will eventually return to normal, and you won't have to worry about food and clothing, but there are still a lot of troubles, such as taking the bus too crowded and wanting to buy a car. After having a car and a house, you also need to consider the education of your child's school district.

    Desires always come one after the other, never stopping, and there is a price to be paid for realizing desires. In order to realize this desire, most people break their bodies, break their families, and delay their children. This is not alarmism, but what most people are doing, and they are unaware of it.

    Life has no meaning, it's just a mediocrity.

    When the Buddha said to let go, it is to let go psychologically, not to let go of affairs, otherwise not everyone would have to be a monk?

    In the process of studying, problems and obstacles are always unavoidable, because we do not have a thorough understanding of theories, methods, and realms, so doubts are inevitable.

    Yesterday a man told me that he deeply felt the complexity of the world, and also felt that living in this world was meaningless and depressed; Tell me, "I've let go of everything now, just reciting the Buddha and hoping to be reborn in Elysium one day sooner." But when he told me, he said, "Now that I only have tens of thousands of dollars left, what should I do when my living expenses are exhausted?" ”

    I think people like him, ideas and practices like him, are certainly not a minority. These intentions are very good, and the desire to study Buddhism cannot be regarded as insincere, but whether it can be fruitful or not is very questionable. Why?

    He did something wrong, how can he be in a hurry about this matter? Hurry up and go, it makes sense, but few people do it. And you are afraid that your living expenses will be exhausted, and there will be no economy, so you are not called self-inflicted!

    So I told him that the Buddha always taught us in the sutras that everything should be as it should be. The work we have to do every day must be done, the things to be done still have to be done, and practice is no exception. Let go, he didn't let go of what should have been put down, and he let go of what shouldn't be put down.

    He put down his work, which should not be put down; He didn't let go of the worries and worries in his heart that he should have let go.

    So it's not that if you let go, life is meaningless, it's just that many people put it wrong, and they will have such thoughts.

    In a certain issue of Dragon TV's four famous assistants, there was a ten-year-old girl who talked about her troubles. She thinks her mom loves headphones more than she does. The little girl in the show accused a lot of mothers of strange behavior, and there is ** as evidence.

    As an audience, I thought at first that it was a little girl who was not valued by her mother, and her mother was a mother who was not good at taking care of her children and only cared about herself. But the result is really not as simple as I imagined.

    Although the host Sakura is very funny, it can be seen that everyone's attitude towards this mother is still very caring. Later, the mother herself said that she had suffered a major car accident and lost her eldest daughter and father. All of a sudden, everyone understood why Yu Tremor was so obsessed with wearing headphones.

    The mother said something on the show that since she recovered, she put everything down. The host Meng Fei also mentioned this sentence in the final summary. People can only see when they have experienced major events, except for life and death, they can let go of everything in life.

    At this moment, I suddenly figured out a lot of things. In an instant, the past can really flash back like a movie.

    What I've experienced recently has also made me particularly resonate with this sentence. Life can be imperfect, but accept it. Because there really is nothing that people can't let go of more than experiencing life and death.

    When I think I understand this, I look at my previous life and realize that I lacked reverence for life before. There are too many things I don't care about, too many people I don't care about. I am most comfortable being alone in an uninhabited environment and doing my own thing.

    If someone comes to disturb me, I'll be anxious and upset. Some people may say that you are immersed in your own world, and this is not the kind of forbearance and other things that you have put down. Actually, it's not!

    This kind of superficial indifference and indifference is not the so-called letting go, but a special manifestation of selfishness, a special lack of commitment, and a special manifestation of incompetence......

    Letting go should be an attitude towards people and things beyond one's ability to understand that one's own ability is not enough. This attitude is not a negative psychological comfort, but an action taken after an in-depth analysis of the self and the external situation. Letting go is never an excuse for a person not to work hard.

    Too many people are distressed by the trivial things of life, the pressure of work, and the complexity of interpersonal relationships. At this time, they often adopt an evasive attitude, declaring and even self-suggesting that I have let go of ......But is that really what they think in their hearts?

    It's easy to put it down! Just remember: apart from life and death, there is nothing in life that you can't let go! Spine Destroys Letter.

    This is me accidentally turned to a book "There is nothing in life that cannot be put down", I thought it was written by Master Hongyi, but after reading it, I knew that it was written by Master Hongyi's disciples! Of course, the banquet is Master Hongyi's classic assertions, plus the explanations of later generations and some of his own opinions, the overall look is very good! After reading it, in this impetuous and lustful world, my mood is much calmer!

    After reading this book, it gives people a kind of spiritual baptism, and there is a feeling of rebirth, which may be the charm of Buddhism!

    As the name suggests, there is nothing in life that you can't let go! You can let go of desires, let go of obsessions, let go of things you don't need in life, let go of ineffective socialization, and let go of impetuous moods! Harvest calmly!

    Harvest easily, harvest efficiently! I used to think that Buddhism made people not want to make progress, and there was no quarrel with the world! Because Buddhism is too transparent, the public says Buddhism!

    In fact, after reading it, I found that the Buddha cherry model is to let people get along with themselves, family, friends, etc., grasp the degree! Don't get too obsessed! It feels just right!

    To put it bluntly, your ability can support your dreams! Recognize yourself, slow down the pace, and come fearlessly! Buddha, really need to perceive, a spiritual experience!

    The meaning speaks for itself.

    A thought of flowers blooming, a thought of flowers falling, a thought of letting go, all at ease!

    1. There is a kind of life called letting go, there is a kind of wisdom called low-key, there is a mentality called tolerance, there is a kind of happiness called simplicity, there is a kind of happiness called cherishing, there is a kind of beauty called self-confidence, there is a kind of touching called sharing, there is a kind of true love called love, there is a kind of warmth called gratitude, there is a kind of success called persistence, and there is a kind of happiness called cherishing. 2. Life is a journey, we don't care about the destination, what we care about is the scenery along the way and the mood of seeing the scenery. 3. Life is to have and lose at the same time; Choose and give up.

    If you want to be respected, you must first learn to respect others. If you want to be appreciated, you must first learn to appreciate others. 4. The happiness of life is half to fight for, and half to follow. Fight, not with others, but with hardship.

    Sui, not with the flow, but after knowing and then peace. Fight, life has fewer regrets; Follow, contented people are always happy. I am most afraid that I will not fight when I should fight, and I will not stop when I should stop, and I am always suffering in the entanglement.

    Be at peace with what you encounter, and stop with fate.
