Fear

Fear
After they made their respective wishes, they bowed three times, took out "two steel ingots" from their bags and stuffed them into merit boxes respectively, and then came to Sakyamuni Buddha, where there were more believers.
, they could only stand far away. But it doesn’t matter, distance has never been a barrier to communication, the heart is. Yan Tingting now wishes she could feel the heartbeat of the Bodhisattva, so it is no problem to communicate with the Bodhisattva through those people.
.
In this world, there are so many things to ask for, such as immortality, gold and silver treasures, people's happiness, wealth, longevity and joy, everything is under the control of Buddha. He seems to have great power, but these are all unfounded delusions.
It is suitable for you to come and pay your respects when you have nothing to do. The straightforward meaning is: if you want to live forever, you should ask Buddha. If you want to live past 73 or 84 years old, you have to ask Guanyin.
Zhang Haiyan had so many people asking for the Buddha's blessing. When she saw the Bodhisattva, she somehow reminded her of the folks in her hometown. In fact, the poorer a person is, the simpler their emotions are and the stronger their nostalgia. The grudges and grudges of those years.
The resentment has now turned into a trace of gratitude.
Zhang Haiyan clasped her hands together and muttered: O Sakyamuni Buddha, the Great Merciful and Compassionate, I know you are a man of uprightness. I am most familiar with your gestures. This is what I do when I am playing with rhubarb at home, with one hand spread out to take it.
Hold the food to coax it to come over to eat, with one hand raised, ready to pat its head and caress its back so that it doesn't be nervous or afraid. In this way, you can give it food with one hand and let it not be afraid with the other.
Is that what you mean?
Alas, it would have been great if there had been a Bodhisattva like you to protect my mother and me! Fortunately, we have finally been able to survive the ups and downs in these years.
Today's life is much better than before. Huzi has also been admitted to college, and Ma Guoli has stopped making troubles. Especially my mother, who is now particularly obsessed with cooking, has finally found the joy of life.
Are you always protecting us?!
If this is the case, then I really hope that you will continue to be merciful and bless me and my mother in safety and everything goes well. May Huzi make progress in college, may Zhuzi find a beautiful wife in the future, and may Xiangzi and those little friends
Good health both physically and mentally, and may Ma Guo benefit...
Hey, just let him calm down and never come out to harm anyone again...
I wish Cao Yu’s father...
Huh? Why do you think of him here? Well, please let Bodhisattva also bless Uncle Cao that everything will be well, and Cao Yu, and Tingting, they are also well, don't make trouble again. Also
……besides……
Anyway, everything is fine with everyone. Oh, by the way, I have one last wish, that is, I hope that Buddha will bless us so that each of us can keep our own integrity and conscience, so that our children can be able to do well in the future.
Have a smiling face that has never been bullied by others...
Oops, Bodhisattva, have I said too much, been too specific, have these little things troubled you too much?...
Zhang Haiyan was filled with emotions and thoughts as she thought about the hometown where she was born and grew up. Her childhood was full of fear and misery. But now, somehow, she could only think of friendship and gratitude, those sisters-in-law and aunts who had taken care of her, and those who had been with her.
As for the brothers and sisters she grew up playing with, she seems to be unable to remember the people and things that have hurt her. She seems to have a vague impression of them. Forget it, there are so many good things yet to come.
Let her reminisce about it, why bother looking for it when you have nothing to do?!
The poor have suffered too much, so the only thing they can easily remember is kindness. Even a small amount can make them grateful and remember it in their hearts, because they are hungry and cold and have nothing, even if it is just a little bit.
The most ordinary and simple greeting can bring them warmth against the severe cold and let them know that there are still people in this world who care about them and will not let them die silently on a cold winter night...
Why are the poor said to be kind, grateful, and contented? Because they know that they are too weak and it is difficult for them to gain a foothold in the world with their own strength alone. They must hold each other together to withstand the harsh natural environment. Only with such desperate efforts can they survive again.
The hope of survival. But those cunning and unsocial lone wolves cannot survive the cold winter.
Why are poor people easy to be deceived? Because they lack everything and want too many things. Even if you just give them a smile, they will repay you and give you everything they have.
Why is it said that the poor are not easy to mess with? It is precisely because they have nothing and have nothing to fear. All they lose is their chains...
Do you remember that in the distant past, how did everyone greet each other when they met? Although everyone was sallow and thin, they still said hello with a smile on their faces:
have you eaten?
have eaten.
Then come and have two more bites!
Didn't eat.
If you haven’t eaten, why don’t you go home and eat quickly?
Is there such a strong feeling of nostalgia?! Zhang Haiyan kept chattering there, don’t mention it, the tribulation in Buddhism is really interesting, just like once a person escapes from a dangerous situation of no life or death
, then look up and look forward, everything seems to be in the dark, suddenly enlightened; everything will be brand new, start over; look back again, most of the things that can be remembered are those wonderful excitements, the pleasure that dopamine brings to people is too exciting.
, enough to offset the fear of almost dying.
Under the influence of dopamine, who doesn’t want to take that difficult step that they usually want to take but dare not? Although taking a step back will open up the world, but taking a step forward won’t be wonderful?! The reason why human beings can stand out from all living beings is, isn’t it?
Because we have never flinched in the face of any difficulties, but moved forward firmly step by step and moved forward courageously?!
The world is a big place, and who doesn’t want to go to those strange places? Only places you have never been to can hide the wonderful things you have never seen, and can you experience the joy you have never experienced. Otherwise, curiosity kills you.
As for cats, the pleasure generated by searching for novel and exciting things can leave the deepest imprint on their minds.
For those soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles and crawled out from the dead, if they have not gone crazy yet, what they are most willing to talk about is not the pain caused by their wounds, but the glory of the king that the numerous scars brought to them.
The history of the revolutionary family with bullets and bullets flying through life and death always makes people talk about it.
And who would want to take another look at the tragic death of those comrades and enemies? They will only be ignored intentionally or unintentionally.
It is always sunny after the storm, the sun shines brightly, and the rainbow hangs high. All these are enough to make people feel like a spring breeze and be reborn. The joy of surviving the disaster is enough to make everyone forget the fear and pain of the past.
Who still cares about the fallen flowers and fallen leaves that were ravaged by the blast and rain? Only they and their loved ones will remember the hardships and sacrifices they have experienced, and others will rarely mention them again...
I have no ill will toward the poor, nor am I envious of the rich. The reason why I compare poverty and wealth as two types of human nature is just because there is nothing wrong with criticizing the rich and sympathizing with the poor, right?
The reason why the poor are poor and the reason why the rich are rich is, to a certain extent, determined by their own human characteristics. The poor have too many things that they cannot let go of, while the rich have too few constraints.
No scruples, that's the reality. Who do you think is more selfish among these two types of people? Who is good and who is bad? Isn't it difficult to tell clearly?
The poor have many common characteristics, such as anxiety, fear of this and that, always hesitant to do anything, looking forward and backward, worrying too much, and being anxious all day long; rarely use their brains, think less and work quickly, and use their hands and feet
It works better than the brain; it is easy to be moved and impulsive. When someone is fooled, it does not distinguish between right and wrong, regardless of life and death, and will do it immediately; it is more willing to forget, especially the harm and disasters that mistakes have brought to oneself, and never think about it.
It means reflection, but it means escape, thinking that it will pass quickly so that you can start over; blindly optimistic, the years will be quiet.
But the rich man is different. In a sense, being rich means being omnipotent. He has nothing to ask for from you, so naturally he will not deliberately pretend to be humble in front of you or flatter you, unless
He is a liar. He deceived all his glory and wealth from you, so he will deliberately flatter you and use cheap and nice words to make you happy.
Therefore, in our eyes, rich people who are engaged in normal professions are generally arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant. What's more, they are cold-tempered and unsophisticated. In fact, you really blame him wrongly.
It’s just that I have a little more knowledge than you, and I look at everything more rationally.
Because in his opinion, money can solve all problems, so why waste feelings again? Feelings are much more valuable than money. Before he succeeded, he had wasted so many feelings, and now he also
There is not much left, and I am reluctant to spend it. How can I waste it on irrelevant people for no reason?!
The reason why they are like this is actually simple to say, because in the process of making money, he must have experienced many ups and downs, seen the harshness of the world, and tasted all the suffering in the world. If he did not have a will as strong as steel,
If you look down on life and death and have no fear of life or death, you will have died a long time ago without even a scum left. Your misery and suffering are just childish in his eyes, so what does it mean?
So, don’t borrow money from the poor, let alone talk about feelings with the rich, don’t feel uncomfortable. In times of chaos like now, you should just stay at home, read this book to relieve your boredom, and don’t go out.
The world is full of troubles for people. You should go to see a doctor honestly. Don’t be so curious all day long that you cling to the doctor and ask questions, insisting on finding out. Doctors are really busy.
!
When you go to see a doctor, do you care about his attitude? Or do you care about his medical skills? If you care about his attitude, then I suggest you find an old Chinese doctor. If you care about his medical skills, don’t expect him to do it.
He watches your words and looks and takes into account your preferences. He sits there and talks to you patiently about everyday things and teaches you how to treat a doctor.
Why do many people like to see Chinese medicine doctors? It’s because they have a good attitude and can talk to you about the eight extraordinary meridians and various pharmacological and medical pathologies. They explain it clearly and clearly, and they will also give you a lot of inspiring words to tell you.
Mentality is as important as medicine. As long as you have a good mentality, you can defeat the disease without taking medicine!
Seeing a doctor is as enjoyable as going to school. You go from not understanding anything to understanding everything. Finally, you become a doctor after a long illness, and you can take the exam for a medical license and practice.
Western medicine is different. In addition to those checklists for blood and urine tests, which can give you a little understanding of other knowledge about treating diseases and saving lives, a non-professional who has studied for many years will definitely not be able to understand it. He is not a teacher, and the doctor's responsibility is just
When seeing a doctor, do you have to ask him to comfort you with nice words, or let him come with a scalpel and cry with you for a while?
Every patient wants the doctor to give a passionate speech and cry with you. Can his body bear it? Even if he can bear it, he is willing to cry with you. Do you agree? Whose responsibility is it for delaying treatment?
?
Otherwise, the greater the responsibility, the more difficult it is for people to do good things. To do good things, you must have a good attitude and take care of everyone's emotions. Otherwise, everyone will scold you for being rich and unkind, and for doing nothing! If you are poor, talk lightly, be unkind, and do nothing.
No one cares about what he does, because other qualities are not important compared with poverty. As a small commoner, if you lie down at home and don't make trouble, don't go out and mess around, that is the greatest contribution to the country.
The experiences of Yan Tingting and Zhang Haiyan are different. She has been pampered since she was a child, and has no worries about food and clothing. She has never experienced any bad things. She is as fearless as a Bodhisattva. If not the sign of strength is fearless self-confidence, she is
She didn’t know how high and thick the sky was, but she wasn’t afraid at all when she saw the Buddha. She actually felt that birds of a feather flock together, and there was a natural sense of closeness, as if the Buddha was an old acquaintance of hers, as close as an elder in the family...
In fact, the reason why rich people feel disrespectful to others is mostly because they regard you as a poor person. They don’t know that you have such a fragile glass heart and don’t care about your feelings. Because in his view, you
You should be as strong as him. If he is frank, playful, or even sarcastic and speaks harshly to you, he is looking down on you!
Because he at least regards you as an opponent and thinks that you should be as strong as him and be able to withstand everything he has endured. You can be on an equal footing with such a strong person and discuss things as equals. This should not be you.
Is it right for you to be honored? Do you have to let him treat you as a child, take great care of you, care for you, care about you and pity you all the time, then you will be satisfied?!
Isn't it the self-confidence that adults should have to laugh at other people's gossip? How many people rush to find people to scold them every day, isn't it just to make others feel that they are also very powerful?
Just like this book, the content is so bad, I want to find someone to scold me? But who has the time to talk to me? I don’t want money to beg you and you don’t even read it, but you still want to find someone to scold me. It’s really
Are you overthinking it?!
At this very moment, everyone is very anxious, and what is needed is calmness and pragmatism. Disasters can never be a good thing, and they should not be consumed, because there are no survivors when disasters break out, and no one can stay away. Watching a movie is the same as sucking blood.
It's hateful. Be strong, hold on, don't be afraid, don't complain, don't make trouble. Slogans and curses can't solve the problem, so be kind to others, don't vent your grievances and say bad words. Take care of yourself, help others as much as you can, and try to persevere.
This is important to everyone.
