A little story with profound meaning?

Be single-minded and achieve something.

When he was young, Jackson Hui Yuan liked to travel around. Once, he met a pedestrian who liked smoking very much. They walked a long mountain road and then sat by the river to have a rest. The pedestrian gave Jackson Hui Yuan a pack of cigarettes, and Jackson Hui Yuan happily accepted the gift from the pedestrian, and then they sat there chatting. Because of speculation, the man gave Jackson Huiyuan a pipe and some tobacco.

After being separated from that person, Hui Yuan Zen Master thought that this thing would make people feel very comfortable and would definitely disturb my meditation. After a long time, bad habits will be difficult to change, so it is better to quit early. So, I threw away all my pipes and tobacco.

A few years later, Zen master Hui Yuan fell in love with the Book of Changes. It was winter, and it was freezing. So Hui Yuan Jackson wrote to his teacher and asked him for warm clothes for the winter. After writing the letter, he asked someone to ride a fast horse to see the teacher.

However, this letter has been sent for a long time. When winter passed and the snow on the mountain began to melt, the teacher had not sent clothes and there was no news. So, Hui Yuan Jackson used the Book of Changes to divine for himself once, but the letter didn't arrive.

He thought to himself, "The Book of Changes is accurate, but if I am addicted to it, how can I participate in Zen wholeheartedly?" Since then, he has never been exposed to the techniques of the Book of Changes.

It didn't take long for Hui Yuan Zen master to fall in love with calligraphy again. He studied every day and made small achievements. At that time, several calligraphers also praised his good handwriting. Then he thought, "I have deviated from my right path again." If this continues, I will probably become a calligrapher, not a Zen master. "

From then on, he became a Zen monk and gave up everything that had nothing to do with Zen.

Supplement:

Ambition is born of the heart and needs to be wholeheartedly.

Zen master Hengyuan has profound wisdom. Once, a believer asked Zen master Hengyuan, "Why do you think the size of the same heart is different?"

Jackson didn't answer directly. He said to the believers, "Please close your eyes and build the wall silently."

So the believers closed their eyes and meditated, and conceived a wall in their hearts.

Believer: "The wall is finished."

Zen master: "Please close your eyes again and silently make a hair on your head."

Believers also made a hair on his heart.

Believer: "Nothing."

Zen master: "When you build a city wall, do you only build it with your own heart, or do you build it together with other people's hearts?"

Believer: "only use my heart to build."

Zen master: "When you make a hair, do you do it wholeheartedly or only part of your heart?"

Believer: "Do it with your heart."

So the Zen master revealed to the believers: "You build a big wall with only one heart; Make a small hair, or use a heart, which means that your heart can be big or small! "

Open your heart and you will be relieved.

Zen Sea was once the son of a samurai. He once visited Edo and became an entourage of a senior official.

Later, he fell in love with the wife of a senior official and became very close. But after all, there was no fire in the paper, and their affair was finally discovered. In self-defense, he killed the official and ran away with his wife.

They had no source of livelihood, but they became thieves because they were used to living in luxury. Zen Hai hated women's insatiable greed and finally chose to leave her.

After that, Chan Hai went to a temple far away and became a monk. In order to atone, he made up his mind to accomplish a good thing in his lifetime. He knew there was a dangerous road on a hanging rock, and many people had died. Therefore, he decided to dig a tunnel under it and replace it.

So he begged during the day and dug tunnels at night. Day after day, year after year, thirty years passed in a blink of an eye, and finally a tunnel of more than 2,000 feet was dug.

Two years before the tunnel of Zen Sea was built, the son of Daguan had become a master of kendo. He looked around for revenge on Zen Sea. Finally, he finally found the Zen Sea and vowed to put it to death.

Zen Sea calmly said to him, "I am willing to give you my life, but please let me finish digging this tunnel. You can kill me after this work is finished. "

So the official's son waited patiently for that day. As time goes by, the Zen Sea is still being excavated. A few months later, the son of the high official felt bored while waiting, and began to help the Zen sea dig. In this way, after a year, he has admired Zen Hai's strong will.

The tunnel has finally been dug and people can pass safely.

At this time, Zen Sea put down his tools, sighed and said, "The tunnel is completed, and my wish has been realized. Now please cut off my head. "

The young avenger said with tears in his eyes, "You are my teacher! How can I cut off the teacher's head? "

Hold your head high and hold your chest high, go forward bravely, and there is no hurdle to pass.

The old monk and his apprentice got lost in a deep canyon. They trudged inside for three days and four nights, but they still didn't get out of the deep canyon.

The young monk said in despair, "Master, I hate myself for not being able to walk out of the canyon. I am afraid of difficulties. If there is success, there will be no difficulties! "

The old monk said, "How can there be only success and no difficulties in the world? How can we succeed without difficulties? It's like canyons and mountains. Without a canyon, where did the mountain come from? "

"But the taste of encountering difficulties is so uncomfortable that I even want to die in this uninhabited valley now." The young monk sighed.

The old monk sighed with emotion: "You are so pessimistic because you have been walking with your head down!" " "

"Master, aren't you desperate to walk with your head up?" The young monk looked up at the sky and asked.

The master asked, "What do you see?"

"In addition to mountains or mountains!" The young monk replied.

The old monk said, "Yes, every time I am in distress and encounter difficulties, I always look up and succeed!" " "

Bodhicitta language:

It is not terrible to encounter setbacks, and it is no big deal to encounter difficulties and dangers. Abandon all persistence, and don't despair of the hardships of life. As long as you can tell yourself, hold your head high and move forward, there is no hurdle to get through.

Cigarettes fall in love with fingers, but fingers give cigarettes to others.

When I reached my lips, the cigarette kissed my lips, but I was relieved.

Gave it to the lung, which thought it had the heart of the cigarette.

But I don't know that I hurt myself! It's the back of the finger.

Is it the amorous feelings of cigarettes or the greed of lips?

Sorrow in the lungs ...
