Without faith, one loses passion for life.
Xian’er says so: Why is it that people are unhappy?
Wang Xiaowu makes trouble with Xian’er yet again.
He said to Xian’er：“Come, er.”
Xian’er turned around and walked away.
Wang Xiaowu caught up with Xian’er and took out an ice-cream, and said in a flattering matter: “Don’t ignore me, please.
If you ignore me, I will be hopeless.
You see that I have got everything, money, apartment, car, and a good job.
And I am smart. But why is it that I am not happy?
I feel lost and bored, and nothing seems to interest me.
Only by coming to pick some fights with you, I find some laughter.
Why is it?”
Xian’er said: “I will tell you why if you promise to behave yourself in the future.”
Wang Xiaowu said: “Deal.”
Below are quoted from my Shifu’s new book, Say Good Things—Master Xuecheng’s insight on the path to speaking like a Buddha.
If there is no faith and aspiration in life,
we will be lost without passion for life and find no meaning of life.
Worldly happiness cannot fill the weakness and loneliness deep within us, because the very nature of worldly pleasure is impermanent therefore suffering.
Buddhism practice is to clear away the dust of various ignorance and bring hope and joy to our lives.
Furthermore, it is to bring hope and joy to all human beings.
缺乏信仰，对生活就没有热情
贤二如是说：人为什么会不快乐
王小五又来找贤二的茬，
对贤二说：“过来，二。”
贤二扭头就走了。
王小五追上贤二，掏出一个冰激凌，
谄媚地说：“二，别不理我，
你要是不理我，我真的就没救了，
你看我，不缺钱，不缺房，不缺车，
不缺好工作，不缺心眼，啥都不缺，
但怎么就不快乐呢？感觉特茫然，
特没意思，特无聊，
也就没事来跟你找找茬、
抬抬杠还有点乐子。
你说，这是为什么呢？”
贤二说：“那你以后乖一点，
我就告诉你为什么。”王小五说：“好的。”
以下来自我师父的《好好说话》
人如果缺乏信仰，缺少愿力，
心中就会茫无所归，
激发不起对生活的热情，
不知道人生的意义。
世间的快乐填补不了
人内心深处的虚弱和孤独，
因为世间乐的本质是无常的、苦的。
学佛、修行，
就是要扫除内心的种种无明尘垢，
让我们的生命充满希望和清净的快乐，
并给一切人也带来这种希望和快乐。
