Living Zen: sub thing, sense of balance, people at ease!
1, do the sub thing
this sentence is the famous Tang Dynasty monk Zen Zhaozhou if Zhaozhou monk temple in Hebei Bailing Temple, I have stayed for one night to go, weather is very good, is now vigorously promote meditation, each monk is saying Zhaozhou: explications! root device was very high on the insight of the people. What does that mean? tea is most ordinary extraordinary temple of food, but tea is a temple most sub inside the behavior of most normal, Zhaozhou monks as things, that you will be able to do --- you can do small things.
many ambitious, that I was born to do big things, and I want to be somebody, not the world of the establishment winner. Their mantra is I look at my pursuit all the things a person can be divided into two categories: one is you care about, one is you do not care. and in all matters of concern to the inside, there are two types, one is that you can influence, that is, those This sub-around thing, you can do yourself at this moment; there is a class that you can not influence, and related matters with other people.
ambitious people only focus on the circle of concern that their very capable, bother to do the little things of the circle, over time, become unable to do those little things, and we call this attracted me. the same two subordinates, leading to the same in the little things they do. a self, as the high , bother to do, when do get smart, so-so, to deal with the task. another it, do it seriously, would like to finish after the bosses have no other demand, demand is expected to boss the next step, and the same time. you say, have a chance next time, when the boss is to the first person or second person? This is the sub thing. life is the basis for the sub, and even sub-things done, who dare to do great things for you? BS-ing, able to fulfill the task to find reasons to find excuses to blame others is typical of non-sub thing. There is a famous name: rise and fall, everyone is responsible. In fact, this sentence is right on the whole, the individual is likely to have misunderstood! everyone is responsible for is that everyone has a responsibility, everyone has a responsibility I do not have any responsibility in fact you, is another matter. The real argument should be: rise and fall, my responsibility. something happens, come forward to meet the pressure, taking on challenges, is the sub thing. responsibility for their own resistance and not onto others, the responsibility it! interest, but such a big debt. difficulties do not retreat, there is a saying in English is very good, about what is the sub: if you don't want to do something, you have 100 execuses not to do it;
if you want to do something, you have 100 ways to do it.
a person's development, both need to also need opportunities. the opportunity, there are two, one is to give you the opportunity to objective conditions, the other One is the effort to get their own subjective opportunities. Buddhism stresses the , in fact, a fundamental truth of Buddhism is the ;, that is, people face reality and stop evading the question, do the sub thing, from the sub and doing. Remember: Buddha bless only those who are willing to help themselves, the so-called: those who help themselves, God helps!
2, holding an ordinary eight-Zuma Zu
Zen Zen master, said a word: ; difficulties to sleep, hungry for dinner. ------ do not offer all kinds of good food regardless; each person is sleeping, but not good sleep ------ thoughtful in every possible way.
like to care about like the minds of the people, even if he got something, he often do not see him get the absolute value, but will talk to comparison with others: why his money more than I? why my title is manager, and he is a director? he often used the spoken language is I think it is not fair to me!
We know that success = hard + opportunity = success then a certain point in time the efforts of + a given time point opportunities. at any time, a person's success is more more dependent on that point in time he received the opportunity,UGG boots clearance, not when he tried. The opportunity is a point in time by accident, given you would not give him, and give you 99 points to 100 points without it is unpredictable, and not man scientifically designed. So, from this perspective, any time and place, not fair is the norm, but rather occasional state fair! However, the use of mathematical formulas add and what a person's life Success = effort + at any point in time the opportunity at any point in time, which = 0. why? you do not always bad luck, you will not always be lucky, if you are not fair because the moment to abandon efforts to the actual Fortunately, also gave up the arrival of the opportunities. using a whole lifetime to statistics, one gets the good luck and bad luck is about the same. You will not at 100% of the time is not fair, you will not in all places not fair. So in the end still depends on the success of the efforts you have been, not your opportunity of a point in time. So, to abandon the care about.
're doing, too thoughtful, it will be trapped by thoughts, that is, loss of self, to become the slaves of distractions. Master Let us stride to eliminate distractions, and how not to think about got lost and how, but could do better. pros and cons heart does not go, do not want the pain is impossible. Buddhism is very important point is inside the There is a saying: This is just normal to ah.
sense of balance refers to what is it? Buddhism stresses the praise, ridicule,UGG bailey button, reputation, slander,cheap UGG boots, hardship, happiness meant. just normal standard is not plagued by the eight winds.
easier said this sentence, but doing it really be prohibitively difficult, even the literary giant of all can not. Zhenjiang Su was banished to the time, and very close to Master For Yin, two people separated by a river, often traveling. One day the temple For Yin Su to see him, Jackson is not the Soviet Union to visit a person temple. to see the Buddha sitting dignity, poetic big hair, ink tube young monk to come, one go: Su sent back to the poem. Su furious after watching, you were Tulv, do not praise me, let me say, how can you call me fart too! heart grew more and more gas, immediately get up the river, go to the trouble of Foyin. For Yin saw the DP, laughed: eight wind you do not do not move, how was I fart to blow Jiang arrived? east slope of a, is a laugh, an old friend had just understand the intention, really easier said than done is doing.
eight winds inside the key is is sometimes benefit to go, and name it does not fit; name is sometimes ridiculed acceptable, but can not stand touted. passes the Bangsha off, but had not killed off both hands. we are talking about normal, that is to be in bad When not to be pessimistic, but proud not to carry away the time.
Man proposes, God disposes all things, nothing Yuanhui stress Just do my best. Do not be too troubled to honor the work life too seriously . my good friend, Mr. Cheng Yizhong, going through a miscarriage of justice peak glory and frustration, ask and feelings, and he taught me a word, I always reading about, and almost become my mantra: small thing. Yes ah, do not large, do not be concerned about. This is just normal. Zhaozhou monk said:
This is the yellow tiller Sioen master words. philosophy to know about the inevitable, there is a free and easy. free to pursue the ideal of Buddhism, the highest level. is not itself a substance level, but the heart itself. Rich Dad Poor Dad find themselves after getting rich, and lost, unhappy, and can not find the road to settle down. this may be a problem with a monk Chen Xiaoxu it.
yellow tiller Sioen has a famous Zen saying: , did not have a grain of rice chewing; day line, not a step to get. a way to count, to track its direction and location; walk the same .--- It is a terrible otherwise. We met many, many things every day, almost better tomorrow, can we like to eat the same, with Li as sweep, leaving no trace, not to be the world's phase led by the nose it? free, is not to become slaves of the phase.
the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng heard Wuzu stresses born of its mind make life difficult for a woman, the old monk put the woman back across the river. monk is very strange that this is not to the master and woman the you. I always wondered, could not bear to ask the master. master laughed: I only But back of that woman for a while, but you have memorized the whole day ah.
our hearts not to is no less than to live. colleagues to be promoted, you do not get, so heart is hate, why not me? Why him? long time can not get to live to worry, and uncomfortable. you are driving a Jetta, see open office colleagues BMW, do not think face to bite the bullet and bought the Audi, but it is still buying loans, the monthly repayment to earn money. This is the phase,UGG boots cheap, and by the phase of the storm, a phase (car) slave you, do not ease of the.
Buddhism is the same, do not more study, the more persistent, when some people do not very Buddhist culture, a culture made no Buddhist, and become overly superstitious, dedicated to the Buddhist name of the phase. the fundamental problem is to be able to get in, come out and can not be trapped by the Buddhist name of the phase. truly live the Buddhist master, not just Buddhist rituals and a variety of mysterious phenomena. so-called on the scan. at the dust alight. This is the root control the way people with high insight, I would think that the gradual enlightenment Shenxiu Huineng Brother-style gatha more ordinary people like us: the body is the bodhi tree, the heart like a mirror sets; always wipe ground, do not the dust alight. we are in earth, could not have been all kinds of distracting thoughts, foreign objects in the infection, heart gradually be covered with dust and we do not know. home of the garbage, and we know that going to dump; inner waste ( Six Primary Afflictions) more, we have to remember in time to cleaning to do. I have three specific proposals: to give up resentment, learn to be tolerant, happier.
1) give up resentment. We often say that love is forever, in fact, resentment longer than love. resentment deeper, the greater the damage to myself, hate is people-centered, use someone else's mistake to punish oneself. everything is the result of their choice, learn to forget the hate, forget injuries, do not force yourself to do victim. Only you can really hurt yourself, not others. There are a particularly good English: it's not what people do that hurts us.
in the most fundamental sense, it's our chosen response to what they do that hurts us.
2) learn to be tolerant. We need to know no one is perfect, look at look at the fundamentals, do not be too harsh, no loss can be a large section. Each person has their own merits, we must learn to appreciate the advantages of others. people clear there are no friends, no clean water to fish. learn more people remember the good and forget the bad people, tolerance of others is actually a liberating themselves, forgive them the biggest fault of their own glory. There is no absolute right, there is no absolute perfection, we must learn to compromise and learn to accept the views of others, learn to accept second best choice. pettiness is more trouble, the majority of the wisdom of the mind, richness. Zen is to leave room in their hearts, so do swing.
3) happier. We must learn to maintain a childlike innocence, to be a person inside the sun, smile, hearty laugh, loud noises. simply, bluntly, happier. must learn to thank people for helping their cherished a grateful heart. is not a source of pleasure because they can not let go. must release the toxins in mind, lay down the burden of my heart! wake up every morning and tell yourself: today is a grrrrrrrrrrreat day! ha ha!
start from the present, starting with ourselves, and doing from the sub; things through the sub-exercise sense of balance, remove the fame rein lock, do not care about comparisons with others; by stride exercise no thought, no shelter, no phase, often wipe the mind, and finally became a free man, free, and enjoying themselves
