"Where is the dust?" A really smart person only cultivates his true nature all his life.

Life is colorful, and each of us is a yogi. We only came to this world for Du Jie, and we have been wandering in a hurry all our lives. Many people start from scratch and have too many distractions in their hearts. The more they think about it, the more frustrated they are, and every step forward will face countless pressures. Buddhism tells us that a really smart person only needs to do one thing well in his life.

Bodhi trees have no trees, and the mirror platform is not a platform.

There is nothing, so there is no dust.

This is a Zen poem written by Huineng, a monk in the Tang Dynasty. In just 20 words, I wrote the essence of seeking Buddha and revealed the true meaning of life. Many people burn incense and worship Buddha and practice all their lives just to cultivate their own hearts and become truly outstanding people.

A person's heart is very small, with only two atria, one for himself and the other for others. A person's heart is big, as long as he has two atria, one for himself and one for the world. When we were born, we were the purest, with no distractions in our hearts. Later, when I grew up, I began to worry about things outside my body. Almost no one would calm down and cultivate their own hearts.

The most difficult thing for people to understand is themselves.

"the authorities are fascinated, and the onlookers are clear." We can always find the shortcomings of others, but seldom look at ourselves. The mirror can only show the flaws of the physical appearance, but it can't show the black spots of the soul. The biggest enemy in this life is ourselves. Everyone has another evil self in his heart. His ugly face and insatiable greed lead us to the abyss of temptation step by step. Buddhists pay attention to Buddhism in order to purify their hearts, eliminate their desires and make themselves more pure.

With the growth of age, our desire is getting bigger and bigger, and we are greedy for money and reluctant to part with our children. These are the shackles that plague our lives, but many people don't know what they really need, so they are busy all their lives for money that they can never earn. It's a pity that their marriage was because they chose the wrong person at the wrong time.

The human heart is like a pond. At first, it was just a clearing. Later, it was filled with water. When the wind blows, it causes ripples. There is more and more water, and there are more and more fish and shrimp in the pond. On the surface, it looks calm, but the water is another scene. There are all kinds of struggles and possessions. Later, the water was full of tangled algae.

Self-cultivation is to make your heart calm and indifferent, regardless of gains and losses, and believe that everything in the world is the best arrangement. When fate comes, what we expect will always come.

Some people spend a lot of time and energy to study others, compare others with their life's efforts and prove that they are the best. This is not really excellent. True Excellence is the courage to admit your shortcomings. No one is perfect, no one can stand at the top forever, and some people are more successful than us in places we can't see.

Self-cultivation is self-cultivation. I don't care about others, I don't argue, I don't rob, I don't ridicule, I don't rain, I enjoy the clouds in the sky. If you don't even know yourself and where you are, blindly judging others can only be a joke in the eyes of others.

To cultivate one's sincerity is to communicate with oneself. A fool's heart is the purest. He lives in his own world and communicates with his own heart without external pressure. This is the happiest. Many people look at themselves in the eyes of others all their lives, and strive to be better just to be themselves in the eyes of others. This is really a kind of sadness.

Summary: excellent people only do one thing in their lives, cultivate their own nature, and talk to themselves without being affected by external interference. How long has it been since you talked to yourself?
