Heaven does not cross people, people need to cross on their own (good text in depth)

A pair of couplets is posted on the door of Baima Temple in Luoyang, Henan Province: "although it rains heavily, it does not moisten the grass without roots; although the Tao is wide, it only travels to those who have fate."

in the world of mortals, all sentient beings suffer; if people do not save themselves, it is difficult for God to save them.

learn to be your own ferryman for the rest of your life.

01

it is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself

Weiling Gong in the Analects of Confucius says: "the gentleman asks for himself, and the villain asks for others."

in life, everyone has the right and the ability to decide his own destiny.

I have heard such a story.

there is an old man selling balloons in the park. When there is no business, he will put a balloon floating in the air, which will attract a wave of customers.

moreover, the color of the balloon is different each time, sometimes yellow, sometimes red, sometimes green.

A little black boy noticed this detail and asked timidly, "Grandpa, if the balloon you put is black, can it rise?"

the old man glanced at the little boy, squatted down and said meaningfully, "son, it is not the color that determines whether the balloon rises, but what is contained in the balloon."

the same is true of human beings. It is the inner things that determine whether we make progress or not.

when Sakyamuni died, he said the last words: "seek your own liberation and do not ask for help from others."

Life is full of all kinds of sufferings. Rely on mountains will fall, rely on water will flow, rely on everyone can run, only their own, is the most reliable.

Gou Jian, who became a prisoner from a king of a country, relied on himself to bear the brunt of hardship and suffering.

Hawking, from the favored son of heaven to suffering from a terminal illness, never gives up and becomes a world-famous scientist on his own.

the strong is always strong, and the weak is always weak.

just because the weak always want to rely on others, while the strong know that they can save themselves on their own.

when you are down, comfort yourself that tomorrow will be better; when you fall, get up and maybe jump higher.

looking back on half of my life, I will eventually find that it is better to ask for help than to ask for help. When I experience pain, I am the ferryman of life.

02

A generous person is a generous person

as the old saying goes, "only leniency can accommodate people, only thickness can carry things."

tolerance is not only a kind of self-cultivation, but also a kind of realm.

in the battle of Guandu in the period of the three Kingdoms, Cao Cao defeated the strong with the weak and defeated Yuan Shao.

while counting the results of the battle, I found a large bundle of letters.

Cao Cao asked people to read them one by one, only to find that these letters came from the officers and soldiers of the Cao battalion.

some of them brazenly praised Yuan Shao in their letters, and some even scolded Cao Cao and said they would leave Cao Ying and go to Yuan Shao.

the cronies standing by, jumping with anger while listening, all said that they would be arrested.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "burn all these letters and pretend it never happened."

everyone present froze.

Cao Cao continued: in times of crisis, even I feel unsafe, let alone them? People always find a way out for themselves in times of despair, and there is no room for further investigation.

as soon as the story got out, those who secretly talked to Yuan Shao felt that Cao Cao was very broad-minded, so they were more willing to work under him, and Cao Jun's heart became more exhilarated.

Zengguang Xian Wen says: "blame yourself with the heart of blaming others, and forgive others with the heart of forgiving yourself."

before you start blaming others, consider whether the fault lies with you; before you dislike others, you might as well examine how your life is going.

there is a "projection effect" in psychology, and all the outside is nothing but inner projection and reflection.

when you dislike other people's shortcomings, maybe they are also on you; when you feel that society is full of malice, maybe your heart is also full of ugliness.

if you don't blame others and forgive others, you are also liberating yourself.

be considerate and kind to others, that is to say, be kind to yourself.

Life is not easy. To be generous is to be lenient. When you embrace the world with tolerance, a warm spring breeze will return to you.

03

to help others is to help yourself

the New Book says: "those who love to come back, those who are blessed come back."

learn to give, learn to give, and there will be blessings around you.

Luo Bingzhang in the late Qing Dynasty, although he had a high position and weight, he was sympathetic to his subordinates.

under him, a small official named Zhang Quan lived a very cold life with his disabled mother. So he ordered his nephew to send rice to Zhang's family every month.

once, Luo Bingzhang saw his nephew transcribing a list of items and asked, "have you sent rice to the Zhang family this month?"

the nephew said in surprise, "No, didn't he leave Luofu last month?"

Luo Bingzhang said: "Zhang Quangang has just left, and he must not have settled down yet. You might as well help him a few more times when he is the busiest, and it's not too late to let him go when he's on the right track. "

after hearing this, the nephew immediately got up to deliver rice.

in this world, there is a kind of goodness, which is called that people's walking tea is not cold. It will not come when you are famous, nor will it turn away when you are at a low ebb.

Karma, those who can get good rewards must be those who know how to think of others.

I have heard a short story.

someone asked God the difference between heaven and hell.

God was silent and took him into a small house where all the people gathered around a large pot of broth.

but the people in this room look hungry and desperate, because the handle of the spoon is too long for everyone to put the soup into their mouths..

God led him into another room, again, a pot of soup, a group of people, the same long-handled spoon.

but the people here are singing happily. Because everyone feeds the soup in the spoon to others, and they also get the fresh soup from others.

this is the difference between heaven and hell: to help others is to help yourself.

to give others a chance is to give yourself a chance; give others a hand today and they will give you a hand tomorrow.

people often say, "God helps those who help themselves."

strengthen yourself, honor or disgrace, success or failure, all can advance and retreat; be tolerant to others, to others, like the spring breeze on your face;

help yourself, everything in the world can spend a world, a leaf a Bodhi.

be your own ferryman for the rest of your life. Even if life has its ups and downs, it can also be done: for life, take your time, to yourself, do not forget the original ideal and ambition. Encourage each other!
