Do not dwell on bad things.
【Xian’ersays so: “think more of good things.】
Wang Xiaowu tells everyone around him not to eat ice cream Xian’er made.
According to Wang Xiaowu, it is the worst ice cream in the whole world.
Look at Xian’er and his dumpling face,
What good ice cream can come out of that face?
Xian’er is very upset.
Whenever he thinks of this, he gets more upset.
When he is upset, he cannot sleep and thinks more about it.
The cycle goes on to the point that he is about to collapse.
Then it dawned on him that he should go talk to Shifu.
Below are quoted from my Shifu’s new book, Say Good Things—MasterXuecheng’s insight on the path to speaking like a Buddha.
The first arrow has fallen.
It is us who keeps shooting the 2nd, the 3rd, and numerous arrows.
Repetition brings great power,
As drops of water can penetrate a stone,
And grains of sand can accumulate into a pagoda.
All comes into being as a result of repetition.
This is why we are not to set our mind on issues and troubles.
The more we think about them, the more trapped we are.
A small problem will thus grow into a big issue.
“Return the good, and let go of the resentment.”
Always accumulate what is good in our mind.
不好的事情不能多想
【贤二如是说：多想好事儿 】
王小五到处跟别人讲，
谁也不要吃贤二做的冰激凌，
说那是世界上最难吃的冰激凌，
最没水平的冰激凌，
就冲贤二的那张菜包子脸，
能做出什么好吃的冰激凌？
贤二非常生气，一想起来就生气，
一生气就睡不好觉，一睡不好觉，
就继续想，继续想，就继续生气，
继续生气，就继续想，
后来，气到不行了，快崩溃了，
才想起来去找师父。
以下来自我师父的《好好说话》
第一支箭早已经落下，
是自己不停地在射出第二支、
第三支，乃至无数支箭。
重复的力量是很大的，
滴水穿石、聚沙成塔，
都是积累、串习而成，
所以我们心里不能总是去想问题、想烦恼，
越想越走不出来，
本来一个小问题也会演变成大问题。
“恩欲报，怨欲忘”，
心中要一直积累好的东西。
