How to live this ordinary life?

The Moon and Sixpence says, "We try our best to live an ordinary life."

On Sunday morning, I still get up at six.

Yuanyuan and I walked around the community, and the autumn wind was a little refreshing.

In the morning 10, the family packed their things and went to the shore of Chaohu Lake to see the lake. Sure enough, it was 1 1: 10 by the time they ate.

After lunch, move on.

The car stopped at a village below Sidingshan Park. The shade of the tree stopped, the door was open, and a gust of wind came and went. No matter how long life is, close your eyes and feel autumn, stop thinking, and find that there is heaven around you.

I have read a book by thich nhat hanh, The Miracle of Mindfulness, which contains a passage:

Thich nhat hanh used to eat oranges with Jim. Jim keeps stuffing oranges into his mouth. He can hardly feel that he is eating oranges.

The Zen master said to Jim, "You should eat that orange in your mouth." Jim was shocked that he was not in a state of mindfulness and didn't concentrate on eating every petal of an orange.

Later, Jim went to prison for opposing the war and felt very painful.

The Zen master wrote him a short message: "Remember that orange we shared together? Your life there is just like that orange. Eat it and become one with it. Tomorrow, everything will pass. "

That's the truth. When we encounter problems, don't dwell on them, but let our body and mind converge on ourselves and let ourselves know what our state is at the moment.

Wang Yangming's Biography records his many conversations with students.

A student wrote to Wang Yangming and said, "Teacher, the way you taught me to read my mind is very good. There is a feeling of staring at my heart. "

This is exactly the same as the practice of mindfulness. Let us become our own masters, rebuild ourselves and become internal bystanders.

Whenever you have thoughts in your heart, you can always keep awareness and mindfulness, so as to achieve the unity of knowing and doing.

When a person can keep this state, he will find that everything is just an experience, so that he can control the pain now.

I have heard the saying, "Some things were hard to accept at that time, and now it seems that this is the case."

As the saying goes, it is easy to break a thief when the mountain is interrupted, but it is difficult to break a thief in the heart.

When one day, we can recognize our hearts and start to reflect on ourselves, we can stay awake and indifferent in the secular world, thus going further and further on the road of life.
