    a woman at home

    A widowed old mother

    A simple letter

    Some ordinary words

    However, it can explain the main idea of ??Buddhism in a touching way

    However, it can explain the main idea of ??Buddhism in a convincing way

    Next, let's see, what kind of letter did this mother write to her son who became a monk?  How does this epistle speak?

    Children!  I am getting older every year.

    When you were eight years old, your father passed away.  Since then, I have been a widow and raised you.

    You have your life, you have your choice.  At that time, if you want to become a monk, I respect you and fulfill your wish.  Now that this is the case, I will take everything as God's will.

    Although you have become a monk, fortunately the Buddhist hall is not far from your home. When the old man misses you, he can see you occasionally.  In your heart, you probably think that you are a monk who has broken the worldly relationship; but in the heart of the elderly, you may not be seen often, but you live close to home, so at least you feel that the heart of mother and child is  close.

    In the past few days, I heard that you are going to leave the current monastery and go to practice far away. I can't bear it, so I want to say a few words to you.

    Don't talk about others, just talk about your master.

    Your master is also a famous person and a person who has learned the Tao.  Thinking about the day when he became a monk, it was only after his parents passed away that he left everything in this world and devoted himself to fasting and precepts.  If you don¡¯t learn from others, you should also learn from your master. After I die, it will not be too late to seek Buddhahood in the three mountains and five mountains.  After all, my time in this world is short after all, and you will have more opportunities to practice far away.

    Regarding the matter of going away to practice Taoism, you also explained to me:

    Since you have become a monk, you must let go of your worries and stay away from the world of mortals.  In fact, living far and near is the same.  Living nearby, if the mother is in trouble, the son will not be able to help; if the mother is sick, the son will not be able to help.

    Children!  That's what it says.  However, if an elderly person has three illnesses and two pains, it is convenient to live nearby.  The old man was at the end of his life, and he might die at one time due to illness or disaster.  If you are nearby, in the midst of illness, the old man will not care too much about you, and he will see a side of you even at the end of his life.  Besides, although you have become a monk, you still have a physical body after all. This physical body is given by your parents after all.  Although you entrust yourself to the Buddha, you still regard me as your mother in your daily activities.  If your mother is sick, you must miss it. If you are nearby, you will naturally miss it less.  From this point of view, if you are close by, I will be at ease, and you will be at ease too. The two places are at peace, I can save myself from the pain of thinking about my child, and you can rest in peace of mind to practice. Isn¡¯t it good for both?  Furthermore, in the opinion of the elderly, a quiet place is a quiet place, and a quiet place is a good place for practice. Why do you bother to go to a distant place to seek a quiet place and practice?

    Let's talk about the temple you are practicing now. It was bought for you by your brother Qin Su.  Besides, since you entered this temple to cultivate, your brother has treated you well, so how can you disregard your brother's affection for you?  How do you tell your brother why you abandoned the temple and traveled far away?  When you practice Buddhism, you hide the spirit of Buddhism in your heart; when an old man lives at home, you have the principles of the world in your heart.  According to the old man's opinion, only when the principles of the human world can be explained can one rise to the spirit of Buddhism.

    Not to mention that I am old, just say that your two children are still very young, and you should take care of them to some extent.  Tell me about your master.  Back when your master became a monk, he would take care of his own son in times of famine and famine.  Even after you become a monk, you are an outsider in the world of mortals, you can completely ignore your children.  What would you think if, because of your indifference, your child became a lowly person and became an unworthy child who did not do business properly, making people watch the fun all day long, making people laugh and ridicule?  If you want to meditate on the Dharma in this situation, how can you really be moved?  Or do you feel nothing at all?  If your heart will not be moved by this, then with the life experience of the old man, there will be no such thing!  If you are moved by this, and you are afraid that people will say that you can't let go of your children, and you can't leave the world of mortals, you can only live with it.  Like this, it seems that you don¡¯t care about them and are not tempted, or you are tempted by taking care of them occasionally as close as you can now, just think about it, which one is true?  Which one is false?  Which one is better?  Which one is bad?  Judging from this situation, now that you care about your child, it seems that you have moved your heart in behavior, but your heart is safe and secure, which is actually not moving.  If you don¡¯t take care of your child, you may seem unmoved on the surface, but according to normal circumstances, you will feel a dull pain in your heart, which is actually your heart has been moved.

    You can often secretly when you are in a quiet placeGrind your mind. If your mind is stable and secure at all times, then the place where you live now is a good place to practice, and the "Vajra" you are going to is also there.  Where you practice now.  Whether you travel far or practice spiritual practice, you can¡¯t just listen to others and learn from others, instead of asking your own heart, cultivating your own heart, calming your own heart, and calming your own heart.  If you only listen to what others say, but don't care about your own heart, then your heart is enslaved by foreign objects.  Your heart is enslaved by foreign objects, which is why you can't feel at ease.  You just don't live in your own heart, but insist on living in the outside world.  What I worry about is that if the "Longtan" where you live now can't make you practice meditation, you want to travel far to practice "King Kong"; then, if "King Kong" can't let you practice peacefully, where will you go to practice?  Woolen cloth?

    You are talking about the Way of Buddhism every day, what the old man told you today is the human heart.  If you feel that what the old man said is not credible, you can bring what the old man said in the letter to your master for verification.  If what you are after is only the realm, not the heart, you can travel far to the "King Kong"; if you want to settle down and practice meditation, according to the old man's opinion, you don't have to travel so far.

    If you can't calm down, not to mention going to "King Kong", you won't be able to calm down, even if you go overseas, your heart will still be even more troubled.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
