Chapter 13 Hold on to what's incomplete and give up if you give up

This is just a beautiful myth, but it tells us a profound philosophy. There is a young and beautiful girl who is versatile and comes from a wealthy family with a rich family property and a good life.But the matchmaker almost broke the threshold of her house, but she never wanted to get married because she felt that she hadn't met the boy she really wanted to marry. Until one day, she went to a temple fair to relax, and saw a young man among thousands of crowded people. Needless to say, the girl thought that the man was the Prince Charming she had been waiting for. Unfortunately, the temple fair was too crowded, she couldn't walk to the man's side, and could only watch him disappear into the crowd.

In the next two years, the girl looked for the man everywhere, but the man seemed to have evaporated without a trace.The girl prayed to Buddha every day, hoping to see the man again.Her sincerity moved the Buddha, and the Buddha appeared. Buddha said: Do you want to see that man again? The girl said: Yes!I just want to see him one more time! The Buddha said: If you want you to give up everything you have now, including loving your family and living a happy life, would you be willing? The girl said: I am willing to give up! The Buddha said: You have to practice Taoism for five years before you can see him.You don't regret it?

The girl said: I don't regret it! The Buddha turned the girl into a big stone and laid it in the wilderness. After more than four years of suffering, the girl didn't feel uncomfortable. What made her uncomfortable was that she couldn't see anyone or a little hope for these four years, which made her almost collapse. In the last year, a quarrying team came and took a fancy to her huge size.They chiseled her into a huge stone and brought it into the city. They were building a stone bridge, so the girl became the guardrail of the stone bridge. On the first day when the stone bridge was built, the girl saw the man she had been waiting for for five years!He was in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry, and quickly walked across the middle of the stone bridge.

Of course, he will not find that there is a stone staring at him intently.The man disappeared again. Buddha appeared in front of her again and asked her: Are you satisfied? No!Why am I just a bridge guardrail?If I get laid in the middle of the bridge, I can touch him, I can touch him! Buddha said: Do you want to touch him?Then you have to practice for five years! The girl said: I am willing! Buddha said: You have given up so much and suffered so much, do you regret it? The girl said: no regrets! The Buddha turned the girl into a big tree and stood it on an official road where people come and go. There are many people passing by here every day, and the girl is watching by the side of the road every day.However, this is even more uncomfortable, because countless times I saw a person approaching with hope, and countless times my hope was shattered.If it weren't for the five years of cultivation, I believe the girl would have collapsed long ago!

As the days passed, the girl's heart gradually calmed down. She knew that he would not show up until the last day. Another five years!On the last day, the girl knew that he would come, but there was no excitement in her heart anymore. coming!he came!He was still wearing his favorite white gown, his face was still so handsome, the girl looked at him bewilderedly. This time, he didn't rush through because it was too hot.He noticed a big tree on the side of the road, the dense shade was very attractive, let's take a rest, he thought so. He walked to the foot of the big tree, leaned against the roots, closed his eyes slightly, and fell asleep.

The girl touched him!He was right next to her! However, she couldn't tell him about the years of lovesickness.She could only try her best to gather the shade of the trees to block the harsh sunlight for him.Years of tenderness! The man just took a nap for a while, because he still had things to do, he stood up, patted the dust on the gown, before leaving, he looked back at the big tree, and stroked the trunk slightly, probably In order to thank the big tree for bringing him coolness. Then, he left without looking back!The moment he disappeared from her sight, the Buddha reappeared. The Buddha asked again: You have given up so much and suffered so much, do you regret it?

The girl said: no regrets! Buddha: Oh? The girl said: Has his current wife suffered like me? The Buddha nodded slightly and said: Yes, and it is much more painful than you!Do you still want to be his wife?Then you still have to practice until The girl calmly interrupted the Buddha's words: I really want to, but I don't have to. Then the girl smiled slightly, and continued: "I can do it too, but there is really no need. Since he is someone else's husband, he shouldn't belong to me in the first place."This is already very good, love him, not necessarily to be his wife.

The joy of love lies in love.In fact, the process of love is more exciting and happy than the result.To love someone, you don't necessarily have to own him. When you can't be together for too many reasons, you have to learn to give up, which is beneficial to both parties. It's just a story, but there are too many similar things in life, such as another little story. During a spring outing, an old man accidentally dropped a new shoe he had just bought under a cliff, and the people around felt sorry.Unexpectedly, the old man threw down the second shoe immediately.This move surprised everyone.

The old man explained: No matter how expensive this shoe is, it is useless to me. If anyone can pick up a pair of shoes, maybe he can still wear it! ★Life is delicious★ Persistence is admirable, but giving up requires more courage.When the result of hard work and the effort are out of balance, when all the persistence is no longer meaningful, you must have the courage to give up, and another beautiful flower will bloom.Most people who achieve great things have persistent perseverance, but they know how to move with the trend, never be stubborn, and let go when it is time to let go. Those who lack this state are too persistent and regret for life in the end.
