I was stunned by the scene in front of me, looking at it, the heart can not help but sigh: nature is really a skilled craftsman, a big hand at random, are all divine.
Strangely enough, the light seems to favor only that piece of black clouds, it is next to, in addition to a meandering afterglow, one or two white clouds, is a wide range of dark clouds, they hang in the light blue sky, east a piece of the west a piece of the together, almost covering the entire sky. Each piece of dark clouds are black face, drooping head, a listless look, confused and scattered drifting, do not know where to go?
Perhaps they are also waiting for the sunrise, hoping that the light of the sun to shine through them, dispel the piles of haze.
Suddenly remembered the novel "The Ferryman", Tristan said to Dylan: everything you see is just a projection of the mind image.
What is the projection of this strange scene of the big universe to the small universe inside us?
The light blue color is like the base color of life, representing the original color of life: beautiful, pure, calm and peaceful.
The reddish haze symbolizes the fiery heart. People are with a fiery heart, from which hope is born, from which they set out to realize the value of life, the dream of the heart, to provide unceasing enthusiasm and motivation.
The white clouds represent freedom and ease of mind.
Black clouds, on the other hand, represent being down and out, stuck, frustrated, disillusioned and lost.
1. A person with light in his heart, fate will not be too bad
People with light in their hearts, wherever they go is the source of light, glittering, illuminating their own at the same time as illuminating the people around them; people with light in their hearts, no matter how difficult the road under their feet, the end of the road is how dark, in front of them, but also will be shivering, involuntarily show timidity and retreat, for them to make way for a golden road! The people who have light in their hearts are eternal optimists, and in the face of the storm, they are as dashing as Su Shi: chanting and wailing, bamboo stick and shoes, a straw raincoat and rain in a flat life.
I recently met a person who is such a self-luminous person.
Everyone calls her Feng. At the first meeting, she was attracted by her radiance and vigor, and the unforgettable is a show of her bright-eyed smile, the kind of smile that is rare in today's world full of pressure; it is as bright as peach blossoms, bright like the sun, but from the heart of the most real, so that people can be healed at first sight smile.
When you see such a smile, you will mistakenly think that her life must have a poem and a faraway place, and she is living a happy life without any worries.
In fact, she only ever is only in the circle of friends sent a "finally pay off the debt" sentiments of poverty.
In an era when young people aspire to a life in a high-rise city, she chose to stay in the countryside to take care of her family. She told us that when she was at her poorest, her family had only 200 yuan to live on, and even then she didn't ask her in-laws, who were well off, for anything.
In the face of life's hardships, her mother-in-law's strong and difficult, she used a different approach from the norm, she said: "The more difficult the more you have to be strong, the more optimistic you have to be. The mother-in-law is strong that she has the ability, I do not care with her, I only learn the advantages of her body, learn her to do things boldly."
Standing at a different angle, determines the height of the problem, her sincere, hard work and good learning, and finally got the mother-in-law's appreciation, but also learned a chat to make a living skills - making tofu.
In order to ensure the freshness of the tofu, she gets up at 2:00 every day to make tofu, supplying it to the restaurants in the town or nearby tourist attractions more than 10 kilometers away, and selling it to the town market at the time of the fair.
Years and months, day after day of hard labor, not only did not consume her energy, but honed her will, from her rosy face, a bright smile visible in her pay, are in the witness of time, to get a full return.
Again difficult, again hard, her heart never lost the love of life, the pursuit of beauty and yearning.
The day we met her, she wore a set of white fabric hanbok, and the next day she wore a set of modified Ao Dai cheongsam, coupled with a consistent smile, giving people a kind of March, such as the feeling of spring breeze.
As for why dress so elaborate, she gave another impressive answer, she said: "Just because I am making tofu, I dress to be elaborate, neat and clean clothes, will remind people of the cleanliness of the tofu, so that others can rest assured that your tofu."
Even if you get up at 2:00 every day to make tofu, sell tofu, but also to raise chickens and ducks, planting vegetables, cooking, laundry and housework, but also can not see her face ever tired look, listen to her say half a word of complaint.
With years of hard work, they not only paid off the debt, but also built a four-story building. Despite this, she has never stopped working hard to meet the immediate needs of the world, she also wants to pursue the heart of the poem and the distant future.
If she took the love of labor as a pleasure of life, she took the love of dance as the love of life. She set up a square dance team in the village for this purpose, and she is the captain, willing to pay, willing to help others, and courageous, and therefore loved and embraced by the players.
It is also because of the dance that we have a chance to know each other.
When I see a beam of light in the sky, Feng's pretty face and energetic figure can't help but appear in my mind.
Ah Feng, not highly educated, but has an unusual wisdom. Her wisdom is consistent with the Sixth Patriarch Huineng's mention of wisdom about blessings: "All blessings, not far from the square inch, from the heart and seek, feel nothing."
The amount of one's blessings depends on one's own mind. A person's innate destiny is also not set in stone, but is mostly determined by his own mind.
It is also what the Buddha said: "The life is created by oneself, the appearance is created by the heart, the situation is with the heart, the blessing is to seek for oneself".
2. Don't live under a dark cloud, there is no such thing as a bad day.
Look again at the piece of dark clouds, let people think of the factory emissions of toxic gases. If you are in such an environment for a long time, it is equivalent to inhaling a lot of harmful gases in one's lungs. How can a gloomy life be healthy and pleasant for the body and mind?
In fact, when we think through the reasoning of the phase from the heart, everything is just a projection of your heart like, you will feel that in fact, life is not what you think, life is not too much misfortune and pain, that is because you do not know how to shift, from another angle to look at the problem, a different point of view is to change the way to live.
The so-called living through, probably understand this truth. Like Feng, always look at the problem from an optimistic point of view, any problem can be solved.
People in this life, who will always be smooth, who has not gone through the detours, encountered setbacks, who is not all the way through the wind and rain, heavy load.
So don't be too fragile, encounter a little bit of bad luck, how many sad emotions, in self-hatred in the wasted years.
The real strong man is in adversity without compromise and discouragement, are good at resolving the disadvantages, in desperate circumstances in the reverse success.
You think the cold bone, in front of the real big wind and big waves is like a sick moan.
Wang Yangming, for offending the eunuch Liu Jin and was sent to Guizhou Longchang as a stage manager, that is a remote mountainous area infested with poisonous snakes and fierce beasts, miasma rampant, the mountain people brutal, language, and material scarcity.
In the face of the desperate situation, he had two choices: one is pessimistic and desperate to wait for death, and the other is optimistic and brave to face positively. Because he made the second choice, he not only survived, but also realized the truth that "the heart is the reason".
This is the famous "Longchang enlightenment". It can be said that the enlightenment let in a desperate situation, the will of the low Wang Yangming instantly transformed, spinning dry and turn the world! Since then, he also completed his transformation from a mortal to a saint.
The so-called "heart is reason", according to Wang Yangming's explanation: because I have a conscience that can know right from wrong, good from bad, so the reason for everything in heaven and earth is in my heart, without external request.
Not to seek outside, does not mean that therefore stop learning, the pursuit of truth, but more from their own introspection, like looking in the mirror, all the law from the heart to seek, do not seek outside, to seek outside may not be able to seek, to the heart to seek to be able to get.
Just as someone wrote about the sun flower wrote: no matter how dark life, the sun will always come out. The bright sunshine needs to be sown by oneself. As long as there is sunshine in your heart, you will be like a sunflower, blossoming with eternal beauty and becoming a sunflower forever.
Just keep your head down and think, and when you look up again, where are the dark clouds, you can only see a clear sky and white clouds.
