In
this vast world, among countless beings, perhaps none of us can reach the supreme state of desirelessness described in Buddhist scriptures.
Whether living in pain or joy, we will not linger under the wheels of time because of loss or delight. Perhaps the passion that joy brings is like the sunlight during the day, but it will also disappear at night; and even the most painful wounds, if left raw and bleeding, will slowly heal and scab over by morning, provided we endure the long night. Because the flow of life will not stop its course because of your inescapable feelings.
Perhaps only tranquility is eternal, the most philosophical essence of life. Only by moving forward with tranquility can we avoid becoming lost sheep.
Let your vibrant soul settle the dregs of pain in tranquility; let your excessive passion cool in tranquility, lest you burn yourself to ashes. Only in this way will you not end up with nothing.
Life's journey is neither short nor long. We can never resist or escape pain and joy, but we can try our best to maintain a calm and unchanging mindset, truly remaining unmoved by external gains or losses. Walking on the bustling road of life
,
how many longings and dreams do we hold in our hearts? How many expectations and aspirations does our heavy burden carry? The value of life lies in creation, yet while creating value, we always hope to reap joy and fulfill our dreams along the way. Every fall is a habit of slowly getting up, wiping away tears and continuing forward, always telling myself that I am not the person I want to be, and that I will definitely make myself better. But should reality really be like that? I
once had a dream where God was calling me, and I felt a sense of relief, seemingly without any hesitation in the face of death.
Is it because my life has been too bitter and tiring?
The most enviable are toddlers learning to speak, understanding yet not understanding, knowing yet not knowing, presenting a kind of silly innocence and cuteness.
No wonder people say: the most precious thing in life is to be blissfully ignorant. Perhaps a little ignorance is true happiness and joy!
Buddhist teachings often say: the sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore.
Living is more like swimming in a great river; only when you reach the middle do you know the water's temperature and depth. At that point, whether you go forward or backward, you're a long way from the shore, but you can't stop—stopping only leads to death.
Therefore, the saying "the sea of suffering is boundless" is true, but "turning back is the shore" is absolutely false.
The reason people often feel life is painful is simply because we overestimate ourselves and are always obsessed with pursuing dreams that are fundamentally flawed.
So when life is too bitter and tiring, we might as well learn to let go; letting go may lead to the shore.
