I remember that every Chinese language test in high school always included the question of analyzing ancient poetry. Although my score was always very low, I also saw a lot of poetry. The one that impressed me most was Wang Wei’s landscape poetry. It feels more ethereal, "Walking to a water-poor place, sitting and watching the clouds rise. Occasionally, I visit Lin Sou, chatting and laughing for a long time." At that time, I often used words such as broad-minded, indifferent, and noble character to describe it. My favorite question is always asking me what emotions the poet expresses. Later, my sister shared an article with me, and I found out that Wang Wei, also known as Mojie. I know that there is a sutra called "Vimalakīrti Sutra", and it is indeed true. Wang Wei was named because his mother believed in Buddhism and specifically named it for him. The name "Vimalakīrti" translates to "pure" without dirt. Wang Wei's mother also has three big characters written on her room: Jing, Jing, Jing.
Although he later won the first prize in the exam, his fate also had bad luck. When his career went downhill and he was demoted from his hometown, his mother just gave him a gift as a gift. The word "empty". Thinking of this, I understood that it was probably influenced by his family belief in landscape poetry.
Looking back from ancient times to modern times, some things have really changed. I don’t know if it’s because the environment has changed, or because people have changed. It just so happened that I had a colleague and friend who I hadn’t seen for a few months. I hadn’t seen him for a long time and we met up to chat. When he talked to me about his current job, it was also related to Buddhism. He said that he was currently making a lot of money in this business. He never thought that he could make such huge profits by relying on salvation and Feng Shui to change his luck. Because the customers are all bosses, one person can easily pay a minimum of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. It seems that this belief has instantly turned into a "cash cow" in their eyes. But is this really the case?
It is said that doing this can make these bosses feel a positive energy, good luck in the future, and all kinds of good fortune and good karma, slowly rising from their hearts. When people are in the world, their work and career are under great pressure, and they cannot always go as they wish, so they hope to use external forces to eliminate disasters and solve problems. In particular, the divine power of the Three Realms that has been passed down for thousands of years can resolve the debt grievances of Jiuyou. This is not something that ordinary bosses can solve. They think that this can only rely on external power, or "divine power." So the company was born.
I once stepped into a trap. With a pious heart, I accompanied two female classmates to offer flowers. I heard that offering flowers will make future generations look good and beautiful. As soon as I thought about it, I met a young man at the door. He was chattering non-stop. I saw that he was so nervous. He was afraid that he would miss something. I complained so much that my heart flew to the sky, and in the end I was defrauded of more than 100 yuan. Looking back later, I felt depressed for two or three days, only because I was stupid at the time. Unexpectedly, this kind of deceptive trick can be legitimately established as a company, and through the operation of a professional team, the profit results are amazing.
After much deliberation, it still goes against the original intention of Buddhism. I became superstitious, and in the end I only had myself to blame, as I mistakenly thought that this method would help my life. But they don’t know the original intention of Buddhism. After all, it still encourages people to abandon evil and do good. In fact, I still like landscape poetry, but I don’t like this way of trying to change one’s luck through transcendence, which is a big deception. But as long as someone believes in it and is willing to pay, there will be a market. In the eyes of some ordinary people, this is the fastest and most convenient, as long as you give money. With the fast-paced life, busy work, and depressed life, maybe you really want to do something, but you have been deceived. After you finally find out, you always feel like you have been deceived.
Comparing Wang Wei's way of doing things, it is a different story. Even though he lost his father in his early years and his son and his wife in middle age, he is not superstitious. On the contrary, Adjust your body and mind, get back on the road, and walk peacefully and peacefully among ancient temples in the deep forest. I always feel that this is inseparable from the influence of his family. From the word "empty" given to him by his mother, as well as his poems, we can know that the following is a middle-aged poem, I hope it can be used to get a glimpse of the leopard.
Zhongnan Bieyeye
He was quite good at Taoism in his middle age, and he came home to Nanshan in his later years.
When things come and go, they go alone, and they know nothing about success.
Walk to a waterless place and sit down to watch the clouds rise.
I happened to visit Lin Sou, and we talked and laughed for a long time.
Finally, I would like to summarize this writing practice: Although I have the intention to write every week, when I want to write, I don’t know where to start. Record life, reflect on work, Express your feelings and write about life scenes... If you don’t have good input and you are not good at writing, when you sit down and want to write something, you always don’t know where to start, feel depressed, and finally give up. This time I was working in front of the computer, and after thinking about it, if I were to write about my faith, it would be a bit rash, because I am not a firm believer, and I am also half-convinced. Then write about your life, take the articles you have read as material, and combine them together to write something.
