This is how true happiness is like.
【Xian’er say so: “How to be happy?”】
Wang Xiaowu doesn’t think much of Xian’er.
In his mind, Xian’er has a lot of shortcomings.
Once, Xian’er talked about his ambition of attaining Buddhahood.
Wang Xiaowu burst into laughters.
He questioned Xian’er:”You? You want to be a Buddha?”
This made Xian’er very much depressed.
Later Xian’er found something in a book by Shifu.
Below are quoted from my Shifu’s new book, Say Good Things—Master Xuecheng’s insight on the path to speaking like a Buddha.
How we face contempt and dispproval from others,
Determines whether we are in suffering or happiness.
If the mind is weak,
It is as if it rains stones and little birds cannot bear it.
If the mind is solid with clear goals and aspirations, with calmness and positive attitude,
It is as if it rains flowers, showering an elephant.
Adverse situation cultivates virtues; whearas favorable situation brings freedom.
真正的快乐是这样子的
【贤二如是说:怎么才能快乐 】
王小五非常看不起贤二,
认为贤二有很多的缺点和毛病。
有一次,贤二说自己的理想是觉悟成佛。
王小五连鼻涕泡都笑出来了,
说:“就你?还想成佛?”
让贤二非常郁闷。
后来在师父的书里找到了这句话。
以下来自我师父的《好好说话》
我们如何去面对别人的轻蔑和否定,
这决定了自己的苦乐。
若我们内心软弱,
就像天上下石雨,小鸟无法承受;
若我们内心有人生的目标与追求,
有处世不惊的情绪与积极的态度,
就像天上下花雨,飘落到大象身上。
逆境进修品德,顺境随缘洒脱。
