One petal is fragrant and the other is soft silkworm white. Read Mr. Ye Jiaying's Five Lectures on Lotus.

"A heart is fragrant and full of scriptures. When will the dusty dream wake up? "

Sometimes, it is really a kind of retribution. Just as I meditated in yoga, meditated, gathered my consciousness and saw the lotus, I immediately came across this book.

Accompany Mr. Wang's friends and have dinner at the local online celebrity restaurant. He wants to drink, Xiaomi is responsible for paying the bill and driving. Before the food came, Xiaomi found a bookstore next to him. She has always had a soft spot for bookstores, so she must go in and have a look.

It doesn't matter at first glance, but I found a hole in the sky. This bookstore hidden in the online celebrity food store is actually an ancient bookstore. There are many old books that turn yellow, and there are also many books that look relatively unpopular in modern bookstores.

A look at the author's name is by no means unpopular. A Dream of Red Mansions has been a bestseller for 300 years, with more and more works, especially classic books.

Xiaomi could not put it down. Instead of skimming, she brushed all the way slowly with her fingertips. It's like opening a new book First, she browsed the catalogue, read the preface, and then began to read the text. She knows the weight and has the urge to move home.

Still holding back. Take your time. Now that we have met, there is still plenty of time. Fortunately, we met at home instead of meeting an old friend in another country.

There is a thick layer of dust on your finger. It seems that there are more people taking pictures here, fewer people turning over books and fewer people buying books. A few times, I saw a beautiful lady, leaning against an antique bookshelf to take pictures, and then going out to retouch the picture.

Xiaomi doesn't take pictures. There are signs on the bookshelf. Please don't take pictures of the book. Of course, you are also welcome to buy books. But almost all the books are covered with dust. I don't know if the bookstore is intentional or lack of care. In short, it gives people a feeling of deep courtyard.

Walking all the way, I suddenly saw this little pink book and took it down at once. The transparent wrapping paper has been covered with dust. Shake it and tear it without hesitation.

Because Xiaomi immediately decided to buy it, just like when he was particularly thirsty, he ran to the supermarket, opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water. Without saying anything, he opened it first and then paid at the front desk.

Open the book and you will feel fragrant. This book is Five Lectures on Lotus by Mr. Ye Jiaying.

She was born on the Lotus Moon, and her nickname is Lotus. In the book, the lotus is also the main line. She tells five speeches about her attachment to the lotus. She also talked about her life, her experience of being a companion of China's classical poetry, and her incredible relationship with Buddhism.

"Lotus really has a heart that doesn't deserve to die", "Thousands of spring flowers are still in full bloom" ... "Life experiences that don't come back are hard to feel" ... Every word is an ideal feeling, a personal fate, and even more worrying about the country and the people. The descendants of Nalan family have read a lot of poetry books in private schools since childhood, which are masterpieces in poetry and music, and education is even more popular.

Over 80 years old, but still lamenting that "soft silkworms are white, they will be able to make brocade one day." It is a warm expectation for the younger generation and an insistence on the ideal of poetry. She also wants to give more lectures and write more poems, and make more contributions to the inheritance of China culture.

She is as strict with herself as she is with her poems. Xiaomi recently read Sanmao's words, and also saw the requirements for self and literature from her lines. Xiaomi really hurt himself, which is another story.

Xiaomi first met Mr. Ye, attending a poetry conference in the little daughter kindergarten.

The school held a grand story king competition with the theme of "Tribute to Mr. Ye Jiaying". Listening to the stories told by the children and parents, the sharing of the story contest also initially felt the spirit of Teacher Ye's life and poetry.

Xiaomi bought her poems that day. But when I opened my book, it was almost always academic and explanatory. I couldn't read it like a novel, so I put it on the shelf and prepared to read it another day.

And "Five Lectures on Lotus", a thin one, was all read in two nights. Several poems that appeared repeatedly in the speech further enhanced her understanding of Mr. Ye, Lian, Buddha, poems and those extraordinary truths. It's like meeting a cultural tutor, and she seems to be listening to Mr. Ye's poetry.

Xiaomi deeply admired that when Teacher Ye was forced to make a living and support her family, she had to explain poems in English in Vancouver, Canada, including Mao's poems, and her sense of powerlessness and frustration.

This is a poet who deeply loves his motherland and a wanderer who has been away from home for many years. Therefore, she will go back to China again and again at her own expense, give lectures, exchange visits, research, and finally settle in China, donating her life income, especially what she has learned in her life.

Want to listen more. Such a set of books is really good. Xiaomi is thinking. At least let her meet Mr. Ye.

"Who sent him a touch of dusk red?" Xiaomi has also encountered such a scene, but unfortunately there is no ink in his chest and he can't think of such a poem. Now that I read Mr. Ye's poems, I obviously want to appreciate a lotus flower or a pool of lotus flowers.

Xiaomi was also born in the Lotus Moon. There are also many ideals in my heart. I used to want to be a teacher, choose one thing and raise a person all my life. Of course, the last "one" is to hope that peaches and plums will be in full bloom.

But fate played a trick on people, and she failed to persist. Now it's like duckweed, drifting with the tide and being displaced. She failed to become a graceful lotus in the mud. Needless to say, spinning cocoons and breaking them into butterflies.

Reading and writing became the only way for her to spin silk for the world. Don't say "Tiansun", even passers-by are rare. She knows that she is far less demanding of herself than these people, and her written words really can't stand scrutiny.

In Mr. Ye Jiaying's works, she saw the real elegance of everyone. Almost every word, well-founded, well-intentioned.

And Xiaomi knows that he is too superficial. If there is karma, she wants to give herself a font size and feels shallow.

"You get it on paper, but you never know what to do" is not only "shallow", but also "shallow". She has been reading, just like Sanmao, reading arbitrarily and irregularly, but skimming the water, the geese are silent.

If the karma with lotus has just begun, it is far from complete. She doesn't believe in Buddhism, and she can't believe in Buddhism. But the phrase "Lotus blossoms, lotus falls" in Lotus Sutra is also like an awakening.

"The sea of suffering has gone astray, and the East has passed this dust. Why do you want tens of billions of lotus flowers, and one lotus flower sees the Buddha. " Li Shangyin's Farewell Master appeared in Mr. Ye's speech many times, which proved her ill-fated but fragrant life. "Tathagata is an illusion, how can you live?"

Xiaomi wrote on the side, "It's today's confusion!" I want to be like her, like Fan Jinshi, like Sanmao, and like many people with simple ideals, I can really "blossom lotus" and "blossom lotus".
