Hong Hai'er chuckled and said: "My master is pretty smart. If he is really forced to study, he might be able to get a scholarship, a bursary or something, and then he can continue to go to school. He might have already gone to college. If he really wants to go out, it's just me.
With Master's character, even if he were killed, he would not return to the mountains to become a monk! My Master was afraid that my Master would study too well and fly away..."
When everyone heard this, they immediately smiled. Is there anyone in the world who cheats his disciples like this? He is really a strange master and disciple...
"Master, am I right?" Hong Hai'er asked when Fang Zheng didn't respond.
Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "No."
"Why is that?" Honghai'er asked.
Fang Zheng chuckled and said, "I thought the same thing as you before, but if that were the case, your master wouldn't sell it and send me to school. Since I sent him to school, how could he be afraid that he would study too hard?
?I couldn’t figure it out before, but today I met Xiao Min and I figured it out for my teacher. Your master wants to leave some legacy to my teacher..."
"What are you leaving behind?" Honghai'er asked in astonishment.
"A memory of a free and innocent childhood." Fang Zheng sighed.
As soon as these words came out, Honghai'er was a little confused. But Shao Gang, Shao Cong, Xiao Min, and Officer Chang showed envy. Some people left money, houses, and even early fingertips for their children to set the marriage agreement.
I have a wife, but are these things really important to a person? Money can be earned, a house can be bought later, and a wife can be chased later. But who can make up for the lost youth?
"Master, if you do this, you can leave a good memory. But some people can only give up their childhood in exchange for the future." Officer Chang said with great gravity. He just gave up his childhood in exchange for today.
So he doesn't think that Master Fangzheng's approach is correct.
Fang Zheng said: "Yeah, so, there is no right or wrong, it just depends on the choice. For some children, childhood is happy, innocent, simple, and happy. But for other children, childhood is terrifying.
Desperate, suffocating, and joyless, their childhoods were filled with all kinds of homework, cram schools, and study classes, and they couldn't find any time or space of their own! Everything about them was
My parents’ ideals and parents’ face have kidnapped me.”
"That's for the sake of the children," Officer Chang whispered.
Fang Zheng shook his head and said: "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish? Every age group has its own happiness and its own life. When what belongs to you is broken by external forces, what is left is only pain. Life is only
In this life, there is no do-over. If you miss it, you will miss it. The happiness at that time will never be found again. I have to say that this is also a great regret in life."
"Master, according to what you said, what should parents do? The world is like this now. If you don't study hard, there will be no way out... The teacher will give you homework and after-school tutoring classes, right? Your child is tired. Don't go.
, in this crowded society, it is easy for you to be squeezed out. This can be regarded as exchanging the happiness of the present for the happiness of the future..." Shao Gang asked.
Xiao Min sat on the edge and listened quietly. She had never heard anyone say these words, but today, she listened and suddenly found that the world seemed different from what she thought.
Fang Zheng clasped his hands together, shook his head and said: "There is nothing I can do about this poor monk. This is a disease of an era, and it is also a pain of an era. My master once said that the mortal world is a big purgatory, and I can't let go of the suffering that created everything. But let it go.
, the world has stopped moving forward. This is a problem that will never be solved..."
Shao Gang and others sighed: "Yes, it is an unsolvable but helpless exercise. Even if you walk out of the classroom and face the cruel reality, why not sacrifice part of your happiness in exchange for other life needs?
Although we are in the souvenir business, we don’t have to do homework, but in order to achieve better results, it is inevitable to eat and drink with our customers. What we sacrifice is time to spend with our families and time to relax.”
Fang Zheng said: "My master once said that when you can't change the world, you might as well change your perspective and let the world change you. There is no need to refuse, because whether you want it or not, you will be changed by the world, but the way of change is...
You can try to interfere with the process and end point yourself."
"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, Shao Gang, Officer Chang, Shao Cong, and Xiao Min all looked at Fang Zheng curiously.
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "Pursuing Buddhism and cultivating the mind, although this is a material world, the power of the mind cannot be ignored. You can't change the material with your heart, but you can use your mind to change your perspective on the world, thereby giving yourself happiness and peace.
Motivation. To put it simply, it is to turn what you do into interest and fun, so that the achievements you achieve will make you have a greater sense of accomplishment and gain more happiness. Just like Xiao Min, she doesn’t like to study
, but she must learn, but she was wrong from the beginning. She has been thinking about how to surpass others, but never thought about surpassing herself! Redefine her own success, draw the stage from the beginning, and remember more today than yesterday
Memorizing one formula and reciting one more poem is success.
Comparing yourself with others is worth it, and comparing goods with others is worth throwing away. When you are too tired to compare with others, why not calm down and compare with yourself. Sometimes surpassing yourself is more interesting than surpassing others... Of course, one person's power is always
Limited. If the parents, teachers, and friends around you could care more about your physical and mental health instead of your academic performance, there would be no such jump as today. Officer Chang, you still have to talk about this matter."
Officer Chang nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely talk about this matter. The child has suffered enough. Home is the last harbor. If you can't find warmth in the harbor, your heart will become cold..."
Fang Zheng smiled and nodded: "Amitabha..."
At this moment, Shao Gang suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Master, after chatting with you for so long, why do I feel that you don't look like a monk? At least you don't look like a serious monk. You can't be fake, right?"
Fangzheng clasped his hands together and said, "Oh? Then what kind of person does he look like a serious monk?"
Shao Gang shook his head and said: "I don't know, but many monks I met told me about the existence of Buddha and the omnipotence of God. Moreover, when they open and close their mouths, they are Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and so on. I think it is more like a
Monk. Besides, I feel like you don’t believe in Buddhism.”
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes. He really didn't believe in Buddhism before, but now the red boys are squatting next to him, so he believes it! It's just that he believes in Buddhism... So Fang Zheng said: "The saint seeks the heart without asking.
When seeking Buddha, a fool seeks Buddha but not his heart; a wise man regulates his mind but not his body, and a fool regulates his body but not his mind."
As soon as these words came out, Shao Gang, Shao Cong and Officer Chang were all stunned. They frowned and tasted the words carefully. The more they tasted, the more flavorful they became. The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became...
PS: Seeing so many messages and blessings, I squinted my eyes in happiness, haha... so happy! The discomfort disappeared instantly. Thank you everyone.
