After graduating from doctor's degree and master's degree, I choose to become a monk. See through the world of mortals or escape from reality?

Haiyun Temple in fairy mountain, Dazhou City, Sichuan Province is 980 meters above sea level, which is a thousand-year-old temple. The original building was in disrepair and shabby, and there was no mountain gate. There was only a so-called main hall and a humble monk's house. Four monks lived in the temple until the arrival of more than 30 highly educated talents broke the peace here.

Fasting, chanting, meditation; China Academy of Sciences, Southwest Jiaotong University, Sichuan University; Master of Bridge Hydraulic Engineering, Doctor of Transportation, Master of Law. Many of them graduated from famous universities and worked as university teachers, bank employees, medical workers and martial arts coaches. It seems that it has nothing to do with monks, but the reason why they choose to become monks together is almost the same: no one admits that they are interested in Buddhist culture and choose to become monks because of "avoiding the world."

From the moment they came to Haiyun Temple, standing on the mossy stone steps, they regarded all temple affairs as practice and transformed the temple themselves. Put on vestments, jackets, tools, money, sand and cement, and work together on the original ruins, connect water and electricity, repair the dilapidated meditation room and repair the road in front of the temple. In order to solve the problem of parents' filial piety in the future, they also plan to build a living area next to the temple for their parents to live in, and use this plan to set up a helping fund to protect their parents' old age.

A group of elites who should have been in secular society came to this temple hidden at the top of the mountain, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and devoted themselves to practice. This idea is doomed to be unacceptable to their families: after they finish college and have a good job, they tell their families to become monks and practice, which is undoubtedly a "knife" in their parents' hearts.

Among the monks in Haiyun Temple, the youngest mage left a note for his parents before graduating from junior college and went to Haiyun Temple alone. During this period, his parents and relatives came several times to persuade him to go back to work and participate in work training, but every time he persuaded him, he ended up without results and left with tears.

Come to Haiyun Temple to become a monk, put down your major and forget your previous occupation. They usually meditate in the morning to chant Buddhist scripture, clean together in the afternoon, water and fertilize the vegetable garden in their spare time, and continue to learn Buddhism in the evening. However, the "learning" environment here is relaxed, and there is not much pressure: every master and resident should have their own homework, choose their own homework, and arrange their own learning progress within the specified amount.

Life is simple, conditions are simple, pilgrims are few, but the environment is quiet. For those who are determined to practice, this life away from the hubbub and less desire is an ideal place for them to meditate and practice. Why do you study for so many years, but now you are devoted to Buddhism and sit under the lamp and read Buddhist scriptures devoutly?

Becoming a monk is not an easy task, we should consider family, parents and secular issues; But becoming a monk is a very easy thing. Six clean, quiet and soft, leisurely and comfortable, calm and comfortable. Whether it is to refuse worldly troubles, escape social pressure, or sublimate ordinary people, only oneself can understand the real truth and taste.

For the owner of Haiyun Temple, choosing to convert to Buddhism is not an escape. They are full of longing for their future life. After the planned temple construction is completed, they plan to close the temple for three months every year and live in peace for three months. In this way, the monks of Haiyun Temple will have half a year to improve their practice.

But doctors, masters and undergraduates are all talents to promote social development, and their academic diligence and achievements are worthy of recognition. However, many people have studied for more than ten years and left school and books. They lack the basic ability to deal with the world and are weak in pressure resistance. A diploma from a key university cannot be a lifelong "amulet". If you don't understand the significance of social competition, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in this society.

When the social feedback to them is not satisfactory, they choose a quiet temple, live their favorite life and seek inner peace from the initial seeking for comfort in Buddhism, to the disillusionment of their inner dreams, until they are tired of the hustle and bustle of life. World view, silent answer.

In the morning, the bell rang, and the morning glow gradually dyed the sea of clouds around the waist of Haiyun Temple. Monks began a tense and full day again, with happy smiles on their faces. For these highly educated monks in their thirties, sticking to their faith is the most precious thing.

Life is a long road, and everyone has the freedom and right to choose his own life. Faced with the pressure in work and life, some people will choose to escape, while others will choose to face difficulties. However, for the sake of inner peace, is it irresponsible to family and life to choose to avoid yourself? Around the temple of Haiyun, which still stands on the top of the mountain, there is no answer in the controversial Haiyun.
