As a post-1985 generation who grew up under the red flag, Jia Lan’s perspective on the world is naturally different from others.
China has gone through thousands of years. It once shined in all directions and was strong for a while. It once suffered humiliation and suffered several dangers. In the end, it did not surrender. Its civilization will be passed down to all generations.
Because the Chinese people’s belief is to live.
In order to live, we work hard and sleep day and night. This is not stupidity, but hard work.
In order to live, we humble ourselves. This is not humiliation, but perseverance.
In order to survive, we treat others with sincerity. This is not a concession, but wisdom.
He deeply believes that this is a great nation, and is proud of it, and is willing to work hard and silently for its future.
Compared with the resigned and resigned person, Jialan is undoubtedly rebellious.
But Jiao Da's words still upset Jia Lan.
Emperor...
People in China do have complicated feelings about this term.
Indeed, this is the pinnacle of life, and a man should be like this.
However, the three views developed through childhood education made Jia Lan somewhat disdainful of the emperor.
There has never been a savior other than a divine emperor!
Creating happiness does not depend on others, it all depends on our own hands!
However, an ideal is just an ideal after all. We cannot deny the fact that society must be controlled by a few people, and these people form the top of a pyramid.
There is no doubt that the emperor stands at the top of the pyramid.
Later, the emperor no longer existed, but he just changed his name.
As long as there are differences between people, comparisons between people will never stop, and the same goes for fights between people.
The ideas that our forefathers fought for for hundreds of years with their blood are looked down upon by future generations as if they were discarded, and some even even loudly called out the princes, generals, and prime ministers, it’s just a piece of cake!
Millions of heroic blood, in exchange for the old world.
This situation is undoubtedly very regrettable, but after regretting it, is it really possible to just lie down and ignore it, do nothing, and accept it silently?
Jia Lan remembered Xiang Ling's words just now: "Only when you have experienced pain can you realize the suffering of all living beings. Only when you have experienced attachment can you let go of your attachment. Only when you have experienced worry can you be free from worry."
In fact, there is a story before this sentence. Jia Lan once told Xiang Ling in the past. The story is called "Ji Xian Meets the Pot".
The pot is not an object, but an ancient sage, who was Liezi’s master.
Ji Xian is a magical witch from the Zheng Kingdom. He can tell the difference between life and death, good fortune and longevity. He can say who will die on a certain day, and it will come true like a god. He is as close to the Lord of Hell as anyone who sees him is afraid. p>
When Liezi saw Ji Xian, he was astonished. He came back and said to his master, "I thought your cultivation was already very powerful, but I didn't expect to see someone even more powerful today!"
Huzi was very calm: "You have only learned the superficial knowledge of my skills, and are far from enlightened. He only recognizes the appearance and does not know the essence. If you don't believe it, ask him to come tomorrow and let you see it as your teacher!" p>
The next day Liezi invited Ji Xian to come. After Ji Xian saw Huzi, he went out and said to Liezi: "Your master is dying, but he can live for another ten days. I can see that his complexion shows vitality."
Ashes extinguished by water."
Liezi came back crying and told his master. But Huzi said: "What I just showed is the state of mind where the earth is silent and motionless, without beginning or end. Of course he can't see my life. You can come to him again tomorrow."<
/p>
The next day, Liezi called for Ji Xian again. After Ji Xian went out, he said, "Your master is so lucky to have met me. He is saved! I saw that his vitality was no longer completely blocked, and there were signs of it being revealed again."
”
On the third day, Liezi went back and told his master. Huzi said: "What I showed today was the interaction between heaven and earth. All things are about to be divided, but they have already sprouted. He saw a glimmer of life. You can call me tomorrow."
He comes."
On the fourth day, Huzi came again. He went out and shook his head and said to Liezi: "Today is not appropriate because your master's condition is very unstable. I will come and see him again when he is no longer so confused and unpredictable."
”
On the fifth day, Liezi went back and told his master. Huzi said: "What I just showed him is the interaction of yin and yang and the state of mind of all things working together. Of course he couldn't understand it with his ability. The deep water where the big fish hides is called the abyss, which is still.
The deep water that does not move is called the abyss, and the deep water that flows and gathers is called the abyss. There are nine aspects of the abyss, all of which are unfathomable. I have only mentioned three here, but he can’t see through them anyway. You can ask him to come tomorrow. p>
On the sixth and fifth days, Ji Xian seemed to be addicted. As soon as Liezi went to call him, he came again, but he only glanced at Huzi, and Ji Xian turned around and ran away. Huzi said, "Want to run away without saying a word?
Chase him back quickly!"
On the seventh day, Liezi went out for a walk and came back and said to his master: "He has already run away and no one can be seen. I can't catch up." Huzi smiled and said: "What I just showed him is like the origin of the world and all things."
The changes from beginning to end seemed to have traces but also seemed to have no traces. He couldn't see the end, his mind was distracted and he didn't know what to do, so he ran away."
Only then did Liezi realize that he was not yet at home in cultivation. From then on, he stayed in seclusion for three years, devoted himself to cultivation, repeatedly sharpened his character, and finally achieved success.
Jia Lan originally wanted to enlighten Xiang Ling by sharing a story that seemed confusing to others.
A person's state of mind is not only progressive, but also spiraling. Huzi's xinxing cultivation has reached an extremely high level, and he can do whatever he wants.
Buddhism says that the appearance turns with the mind, and the appearance disappears with the mind.
The pot changes its phase four times through changing its mind, vividly explaining the principle of following the mind.
Only with good intentions can you have good appearances. As the ancients said, "Everything inside must be reflected outside." "The inside is full, and the outside has brilliance." People are receiving retribution all the time and creating new karma everywhere. Only by changing the cause can we have good intentions.
Only then can the fruit be transformed, and the key to transforming the fruit lies in the "heart".
Just because the heart can change careers, Jia Lan believes that if Xiangling wants to change her miserable fate, she should first let go of the misery in her heart.
Xiangling has experienced pain, so she naturally understands what pain is.
Only when you understand can you let go and start over.
Only when you are happy in your heart can you have true happiness. The saying that "you have destiny but not luck, and it affects your parents" is just a sarcastic statement, so don't take it to heart.
Unexpectedly, the words that were originally meant to enlighten Xiang Ling were instead used by the other party to comfort herself.
The story Jia Lan told Xiang Ling comes from the last section of the inner chapter of "Zhuangzi" "Ying Di Wang".
The emperor... the emperor... aspires to be the best.
I don’t know if it’s somehow related, but all Jia Lan encountered today were imperial topics.
Isn’t that position important?
No, important?
But for Jialan, there is no need.
The top of the pyramid is dazzling, but the base of the tower is vast; the top of the tower has a breathtaking scenery, while the base of the tower has a life of humiliation and humiliation. There is a difference between them, but there is no distinction between superior and inferior.
What Jialan has to do is to continuously consolidate the foundation of the pyramid. As for the position of the top of the pyramid, what difference does it make whether you sit on it or not?
