I don’t want to live a Buddhist life, I want to grow up barbaric

“I feel like my boyfriend is taking the postgraduate entrance examination in Buddhism. It’s been less than two months since the preliminary exam, and he has only taken a little more than half of the professional courses.” A few days ago, my friend Xiao A said to me. "I don't go to the library very much every day, because I have to fight for a spot in the library. He doesn't like fighting."

Little A's boyfriend gave us the feeling that he is indeed taking the postgraduate entrance examination in the Buddhist Department, and is like other candidates They were all so busy, and Xiao A and her boyfriend could always be seen hanging out on campus, and they would play games together for several hours from time to time in the evening. There is absolutely no sign of a person who is about to compete with more than 2 million people for a handful of postgraduate places.

I don’t know when the word “Buddhist” entered the lives of those born in 1995, including “Buddhist life”, “Buddhist study”, “Buddhist postgraduate entrance examination” and “Buddhist”. "Love"...

The term "Buddhist" originated from Japanese magazines. As a cultural phenomenon, it has a state and attitude towards life of seeing through the world of mortals and living according to one's own lifestyle. At the same time, Buddhism is one of the religions in our country. I once thought that "Buddhism" meant calmness after seeing through it. But now, the meaning of "Buddhism" has long been distorted. It has become a reason to make excuses for not working hard, and it has become a kind of mediocrity without fighting or grabbing.

We are only in our twenties. At this age, I thought we should work hard to be promising at a young age. I remember when I went to Nanjing, the six ancient capitals, I saw three sentences given to young people in the Confucius Temple: "No struggle, no youth!" "No dreams, no life!" "No gratitude, no growth!" As young people, Even if you don't take the country as your responsibility, you should at least go all out and fight for your own future. I dare not say that the result of taking the Buddhist postgraduate entrance examination and living a Buddhist life will be to become a powerful hero who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests?

What’s more, the postgraduate entrance examination is no longer as good as the college entrance examination. The skill that can be seen by the instructor is the real skill, right? If you can't even pass the preliminary exam and can't even meet the instructor, what's the point?

On the other hand, another friend of mine has been almost invisible in the dormitory since her sophomore year. Whenever she has time, she will go to the library to read and study, or go to the laboratory to study experiments with professional teachers. operate. I also go out to work part-time on weekends to earn some pocket money. Most of the time she leaves early and comes home late. A person is like a small top. Every time I do something, I do it neatly and neatly alone, and I never let others affect my schedule. We always laugh at her and say, "Why are you working so hard? Don't you want to learn about Buddhism? It's still a long time to go to university, and it's still early to take postgraduate entrance examinations and work." She always smiles and says that she just doesn't like to stay in Bedroom.

However, when the results of the previous school year were evaluated in the new semester, I learned that she got the scholarship as she wished, and also received various certificates such as Mandarin and Computer Level 2. She also passed CET-6 with high scores. , when I used the money I earned to travel to my favorite city during the vacation, all I could see was envy. What we see is a busy figure. It turns out that she quietly balances study, life and work, and handles it steadily. In Internet slang, it means "quietly becoming powerful." She also told me that if she has time in the next year or two, she will try to be an online anchor and experience a different life. I think her heart is clear at this time because the future is bright.

Why do we use our 20-year-old age to do things that an 80-year-old can do? I think that living a Buddhist life can wait until we are successful in our careers and slowly understand its connotations. Time flies so fast that I don’t dare to stop. I also want to achieve a scholarship and obtain various certificates. I think this dream can’t be realized only by relying on Buddhism. I must go on hard and grow wildly to achieve it. Let’s have a different future!
