"The Two Monks of Shu" enlightenment

The article focuses on the principle of doing learning, and points out that people's natural talents are not the conditions that determine whether they have academic achievements, and only through subjective efforts can they achieve something.

There are two monks on the border of Xichuan, one with money and one with no money.

There were two monks who lived in a remote part of Shudi, one was very poor and the other was very rich. The point of this story is that wealth and poverty are not the only measure of a person's worth.

The two monks in the story represent two different ways of life and values. Wealthy monks may consider wealth and status to be the most important things, while poor monks are more focused on inner practice. This story teaches us that no matter how much wealth and status we have, the most important thing is inner peace and spiritual practice.

A person's worth should not be determined solely by his external conditions, but by his character, character, and behavior. We cannot only look at a person's material wealth and ignore his spiritual life and inner practice. This story also reminds us that we should not only pursue wealth and power, but also focus on inner peace and self-improvement.

This story can be further explained by the fact that material possessions and status are not the ultimate goal of everything. We should look for inner reverence, peace of mind, and spiritual fulfillment. We do not need to pursue fame and material wealth, but should pay attention to our inner cultivation and the improvement of moral character.

Through such efforts, we can attain deeper and longer happiness and satisfaction.

In this story, the rich monk may be proud, but his wealth does not change the equal relationship between him and the poor monk. On the contrary, it is the poor monks who attain inner peace and contentment through inner practice, which is more precious than wealth and status.

In conclusion, this story reminds us not to measure a person's worth by their external condition. We should focus on inner peace and spiritual practice, as well as spiritual fulfillment and spiritual growth. Through such efforts, we can achieve deeper and more lasting happiness and satisfaction.
