On women's mood of chopping wood up the mountain

When the old monk was enlightened, the young monk asked, Master, how do you feel after enlightenment? The old monk said that he used to go up the mountain to cut wood, cut wood and burn fire, boil water to cook, cook and eat, eat and chant Buddhist scriptures, and send them to Buddha. Going up the mountain after awakening is going up the mountain, chopping wood is chopping wood, boiling water is boiling water, cooking is cooking, eating is eating, chanting Buddha is chanting Buddha, and sending Buddha is sending Buddha.

This story is a story I heard in the audio today, which seems to make me understand something.

Happiness and sadness are just an idea, as if there is no right or wrong in the world, no happiness and sadness, no emotions, and all the emotions of happiness and unhappiness come from our hearts.

Just like going up the mountain to cut firewood before enlightenment, I always swear to climb the mountain all the way. Why is the mountain so high and difficult to climb? Why so tired? Of course I'm tired with this idea. After enlightenment, going up the mountain is going up the mountain, which is different. You can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the road when you go up the mountain. You can see how many trees there are, how lush the trees are, whether there are flowers on the roadside, and how beautiful the wild flowers are everywhere. Is there anyone on the road? Who opened this road? Thinking about it, I suddenly reached the top of the mountain, so I'd better chop wood. Excuse me, how can there be pain and unhappiness between going up the mountain and cutting wood? No fatigue, no feeling at all.

Cutting wood before enlightenment is boiling water. Let's imagine that your head is full of boiling water, so what is the purpose of chopping wood? So why do you work so hard and why is your knife so dull? What about after the cut? Think about why the firewood is so heavy, the mountain is so high, so tired, alas, I'm exhausted. Do you think you can be happy in this state of mind? Can you be happy? It's different after enlightenment. Cutting wood is cutting wood. When chopping wood, gnome male-",like singing. Cut a big one and a small one here. Alas, what firewood did I cut today? Alas, is this firewood good or not? Which is better to burn? When chopping wood, we think, imagine, when chopping wood, the birds sing with you. The wind is whistling in your ear. A little cool breeze makes your mood a lot easier. When we carry firewood down the mountain, we think that the sun will follow us down the mountain and the moon will surround us. Night bugs also sing for us, singing that we came back from chopping wood. Let's think about it. If so, how can we be tired and unhappy? No

Boiling water before waking up is used for cooking. If you think about the process of boiling water and you think about cooking, then you won't think about what boiling water is for. Are you satisfied with the fire? Did you play with fire when you were a child? If you overdo it, you can imagine how happy you were when you were young. The more you play, the more exciting you are, especially on August 15. When boiling water, let's think about boiling water. Think about those cigarettes. Oh, it won't burn. If you just cut wood, it won't burn. At this time, you have to pout your ass, then blow the fire and fan it with a fan. The fan is full of wolf smoke, which is too painful. When will this water boil? Boil it and you can cook. Boiling water is different after enlightenment. After enlightenment, we want to boil water and make a fire, which is also a kind of fun. You must enjoy it. When we light the fire, you want to light it. You see the flames jumping and flashing with the wind. Looking at the flame is like burning hope, the fire of hope. Smoky, that fairyland on earth, there will be smoke when immortals appear, and there will be immortals where there is smoke. If you play in this mood, you will always be happy. You are playing with fire, not boiling water. How can you complain and feel uncomfortable with this mentality? Different mentality, everything has changed.

Eating before enlightenment is for chanting. We eat for chanting, so we are bound to swallow dates in the process of eating. We can't receive any smell, and we can't feel all the smells. This is called tasteless food. What you eat has no taste. Do you want to eat? Do you want to eat? How much can you eat? Are you happy after eating? You think this thing tastes bad. You are in a bad mood, you are in a bad mood, and everything is not good after dinner. It's different after enlightenment. We should chew slowly when eating. Chew a grain of rice in your mouth ten times, and you can taste the fragrance of rice. As we all know, the more whole wheat is chewed in your mouth, the sweeter it is. The reason is that the transaminase secreted by saliva in our mouth combines with rice to produce a kind of sugar called maltose, which is getting sweeter and sweeter. Moreover, this maltose can promote digestion and reduce gastric motility. In the process of metabolism, our internal organs reduce the work pressure, so we seldom get sick. The food is delicious. In this mood, we have done a good job in health. We are in a good mood and healthy. Eating is a pleasure. Can this mood be unhappy, unhappy and not live long?

Before enlightenment, chanting Buddha was to send Buddha. So what do we do in this state of mind, and what is the function of chanting? Why is the chanting so dry and tasteless? It's so uncomfortable and boring. Slowly, we feel bored in the process of chanting. Why is it so long, too long, too long? When will it be finished? With this mentality, when can we understand the scriptures? When can I become a Buddha? It's impossible. Without a correct attitude, how can you become a Buddha? Then after enlightenment, we go to chant Buddhist scripture, and our mentality is different. When we recite the scriptures after enlightenment, every word and sound we read is powerful, and this sound can reverberate around the light beam. In this state of mind, every word we read will go straight into our hearts. Read the Tao with your heart. For example, you have no one to feed you, no one to study, no one to go to the toilet, no one to get sick, and everything you have is your own. What you sow today, you will reap tomorrow. Everything is done by yourself, and the consequences are borne by yourself. No one can undertake anything for you. Therefore, it is a kind of happiness and passion for us to recite the scriptures with this enlightened mentality! So after we are enlightened, chanting Buddha means chanting Buddha, and happiness can make you live longer.

Send Buddha as a gift after enlightenment. Because we know that he can become a Buddha, so can we, and when we send it, we can send it devoutly. Because we know that one day, others will send me to become a Buddha.

Friends, you must go up the mountain. Chopping firewood is chopping firewood, boiling water is boiling water, eating is eating, chanting Buddha is chanting Buddha, and sending Buddha can send Buddha. Everything we do is for the present. Don't think that I did it for other things. Think about it, if our three views are not correct, we will basically lose. Why are children so difficult to manage nowadays? I planned to get into a good junior high school when I was in primary school, in order to get into a good junior high school in the future. When I was not in junior high school, I planned to get into a good high school in the future. I planned to go to a good university two days before I entered high school. What's the difference between this and the story above? When you go to primary school, you have to go to middle school, middle school has to go to high school, and when you go to high school, you have to go to college. When you go to college, you have to work hard. A good job is to make money, and making money is to honor our ancestors. When can I be happy?
