Chapter 232 Reading books for the hardworking beings is the Buddha! (Please subscribe ~ monthly pass!)
Come to the window.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Li Shaojie seemed to understand something.

Philosophy is not high above, but infiltrated into daily life.

Li Shaojie understood what Professor Rong Zan meant in an instant.

This is teaching yourself with reality.

"See that hardware store porter?"

Following Professor Rong Zan's gaze, Li Shaojie saw a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 50s.

The upper body is bare, a little greasy, even if you look down from the third floor, you can see the black stains on your face.

At this time, the porters were unloading the goods, and the goods looked very heavy.

"He has no monthly salary, how much cargo he unloads, and how much money he makes."

Professor Rong Zan looked at Li Shaojie and asked.

"As long as he unloads this truck, guess how long it takes and how much money he can make?"

Li Shaojie glanced at the truck.

These vans are common, and I used to see them a lot when I was doing audio work.

In such a cart, the goods pulled are large and small parts from the hardware store.

At least ten tons.

"If one person unloads it, it will take at least four or five hours? In terms of money, more than 100 yuan per car?"

What Li Shaojie said made Professor Rong Zan nod his head.

"This truck load is about twelve tons, and usually two to four people unload it, but the total labor cost remains the same."

"That is to say, a porter earns 200 after ten hours of physical work a day."

Taking a meaningful look at Li Shaojie, Professor Rong Zan reminded him.

"Although this month, it seems that you can earn 6000 yuan, but you have to know that if you don't work for a day, you will have no money for a day, especially for short-term workers like him, and you need to pay for various insurances yourself."

Li Shaojie pursed his lips.

It is difficult for porters to work in one place for a long time. Perhaps some porters are hired by companies directly.

But most of them do this kind of loose order.

Accommodation is a problem.

Diet yourself.

Find a job by yourself, do it yourself, be lazy every day, and be hungry all the time.

Do hard work for a whole day and earn two hundred dollars.

If you still have a family and children, you really have to hesitate to eat, pay for insurance, and buy clothes and shoes. Life is full of "saving" and "careful budgeting".

"If you accidentally get sick one day, even if it's a minor illness, it will affect your life. If you get a serious illness, the sky may collapse."

"Also, he has parents to support and children in school."

Professor Rong Zan glanced at Li Shaojie.

"He's divorced, single, raising kids, raising parents, and if he gets sick, the family goes hungry."

"There are too many people like this, it's just that there are so many people that they cannot be seen."

Li Shaojie was silent.

In fact, it is not unheard of.

At this moment, memories flooded my mind.

When I was looking at my supermarket during my high school holidays, I saw this crowd of beings.

Shencheng is very close to Dandong. A small box of strawberries is not expensive when it is in season.

ten yuan.

But Li Shaojie once saw a very ordinary young man who picked up a strawberry, hesitated for a long time, and finally put it down.

I have also seen workers in overalls come to the supermarket in the summer, looking at the dazzling array of ice cream in the refrigerator, swallowing hard, and then silently picked up a bottle of the cheapest mineral water.

I have also seen a poor mother with a child, the child looks at the snacks reluctantly, and the mother spends a dollar to buy a bag of milk.

Some people may think that it is only ten yuan or a few yuan, as for it?

【Why not eat minced meat? 】

For some people it really doesn't matter.

Workers whose bodies are covered with cement stains, occasionally come to the supermarket after work, and buy a bottle of cheap wine worth two yuan is their happiness in life.

The white-collar worker who carefully selected gifts in the supermarket, but received a breakup text message and collapsed on the spot, also told Li Shaojie, who was only 16 years old at the time, that life was not easy.

Mortgage loan, car loan, work, overtime, caring for the elderly, dating, marriage.
It is not easy for all living beings in the sea of ​​suffering, but they are still unwilling. Therefore, all living beings choose to be strong and strong.

At this time, all living beings are Buddhas.

"If you are free, you can pay attention everywhere in your life."

Professor Rong Zan smiled.

"Or... go to the hospital, and you will understand why all sentient beings are suffering."

"Life is suffering, aging, sickness, and death are also suffering."

"Happiness in life is like bubbles, fleeting and gorgeous."

Professor Rong's smile suddenly became a little serious.

Looking at Li Shaojie, hehe asked.

"For example, when young people seek happiness in the house with their loved ones, they are gorgeous but short-lived."

"After being happy, the next worrying things are life, getting married, avoiding sex, if you accidentally get shot, raising, and education. Troubles come uninvited, and happiness is only short-lived."

Li Shaojie's eyes suddenly became strange.

However, this example is really vivid.

Professor Rong slowly uttered a familiar Buddhist gatha.

"The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror stand.

Wipe it frequently to avoid dust. "

Immediately, he looked at Li Shaojie with a smile.

His eyes were very kind, like a kind elder trying to enlighten a confused young man.

"Why?"

"The body of all living beings is a tree of wisdom, and the mind of all living beings is a bright mirror."

Li Shaojie can even say another "opposite" point of view.

"It should be brushed and wiped at all times, and don't let it be obscured by dirt."

"Ok!"

Professor Rong nodded with a smile.

"I don't even need to say the next sentence, you can say it yourself."

Li Shaojie nodded.

No Bodhi tree, nor stand mirror.

The Buddha-nature is always pure, where can dust be aroused!

Wisdom is not a tree, and the mind is not a mirror.

If the nature is empty, how can there be any dust?
Many people may think that this story is a nonsense that does not hurt your back when you stand up and talk?Is it a cool plot?Or a fake story?Or does the realm come from life and so on?

But in fact, these understandings are too superficial, superficial and one-sided.

In fact, the ideas of the two are very similar, and there is even no essential conflict.

In essence, there is only one point.

Cultivate your mind!

Know your mind.

Only in this way can we prove our "enlightenment".

Serve as "Buddha".

Become a conscious person.

Everyone can.

"You don't need to worry about whether life is suffering or not, you don't need to worry about the status of all living beings, and you don't need to worry about the meaning of living."

Professor Rong Zan said with a smile.

"To live is to experience, and to live itself is the meaning."

"Those who are enlightened are happy, and those who are enlightened can feel the meaning of their own existence more clearly."

"From being alive to dying is meaning. It makes human beings realize that they are meaningful existences."

Li Shaojie nodded.

Philosophy is actually about "meaning".

Humans are the only creatures that like to explore [meaning].

Only meaning can save human beings from the absurdity and boredom they often feel.

Perhaps many people think that your exploration of meaning is itself a meaningless act.

It can't be produced, and it can't be eaten as food, so why bother?

But in fact, not only is philosophy not a meaningless existence, but it is of great significance.

It's like the ancient philosophers, who were bored after eating and drinking, and went to think about other people's seemingly "meaningless" topics.

【Why does the sun rise and set? 】

【Why some things can float on the water, while others sink? 】

[Thousand years, 10 years later, will people still be there?Do you want to leave some proof that we have lived? 】

But in fact, these thoughts were "meaningless" in the eyes of ordinary people at the time.

Seemingly "pointless" pursuit of what is "meaning".

Only then was the brilliant human civilization born.

From the moment of thinking about "meaning", philosophy is born.

What follows is development and change.

Science, religion, art, culture.
And these things all benefit the lives of our modern people.

And for different people, the meaning is different.

This is not some so-called "chicken soup" or "philosophy" that is so fake.

Even ordinary people have meaning around them.

What you love, love yourself.

".Each soul is unique, with its own virtues and faults."

"I think that living is actually the interweaving and collision between countless souls, and the ultimate result of Buddha is to understand each other and forge ahead."

"To build a community with a shared future for mankind."

Professor Rong Zan smiled slightly.

Continue to chat with Li Shaojie about the working people from ancient times to the present.

Time passed slowly.

Finally, after chatting for a long time, and seeing Li Shaojie's feelings getting deeper and deeper, Professor Rong Zan spoke.

"Buddha is a kind of enlightenment and a kind of heroism."

"Life is hard, but it cannot knock down the human heart."

"To live is to live towards death! To live towards the sun!"

Li Shaojie suddenly realized.

This life towards death is the concept of philosophy.

If we say that science is for people's material.

Well, philosophy, art.

These are for the spirit of the people.

A person's abilities vary greatly.

But as long as the spirit is awakened, it is a noble person, a pure person, and a moral person.

A person who has escaped vulgar interests, and a person who is beneficial to the people.

This is the "enlightened one", this is the Buddha.

"It is undoubtedly a liar to say that XX Buddhist master has saved all living beings."

Smiling, Professor Rong Zan didn't talk about serious things anymore.

Instead, I chatted with Li Shaojie about "cracking down on counterfeiting".
Just like Li Shaojie who is in the music industry, he hates fakes that are faked.

Professor Rongzan naturally hated those pretending monks.

"Buddhism is not about translating suffering beings."

Professor Rong Zan patted Li Shaojie on the shoulder.

It seems that they want to pass on some spirit.

"As for philosophy, it actually transforms us scholars."

Walking back to the study, Professor Rong Zan looked at Li Shaojie.

"What do you think, for us people, what is the meaning of learning?"

Without waiting for Li Shaojie's turn.

Professor Rong Zan spoke first.

"Once upon a time, a great man once said, study for the rise of China."

"Now, we say, read for the laboring beings."

"It is not the Buddha who can benefit all living beings, but the scholars of our generation, the next generation, and generation after generation."

Smile.

Professor Rong Zan's words made Li Shaojie feel admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"Every scholar should know why he reads, and he should have this awareness."

"I study and work for all beings, and I am also all beings."

Li Shaojie felt enlightened.

What is the Buddha, has already found the answer.

And now that I have found my own thoughts, I can easily solve the problem of what to do with the work I want to create.

"Do you have this awareness?"

Professor Rong Zan looked at Li Shaojie with a smile.

No attempt was made to seek answers.

Open your mouth slowly.

"If you are enlightened and pay for it, it is good, it is true, and it is beauty."

"That is. Buddha!"

After the conversation, Li Shaojie really felt that he got what he wanted.

It may be hard to put into words, but it not only awakened the creative thinking, but also awakened myself.

After bidding farewell to Professor Rong Zan, Li Shaojie returned home.

In the study room, looking at the photos of the murals, recalling the stories in the Dunhuang murals.

And Lu Qiu'er also gently closed the door of the study, not disturbing Li Shaojie.

Professor Rong Zan's words kept reappearing in his mind.

The next creative idea is already clear.

Li Shaojie slowly wrote down the paragraphs of the story.

first movement.

【Under the Bodhi Tree】

It originated from the story of King Sibi cutting meat and trading pigeons.

But processed.

The little prince was very distressed when he saw a bird die.

Heaven said to the little prince, "If you cut off the flesh and put it on the balance, and the balance is even, then your pain will disappear."

The little prince cut the meat, but the meat he cut was far more than that of the pigeon, but the balance was still not balanced.

At this time, the sky told the little prince.

"All living beings are equal, and life is equally precious."

The little prince gave birth to lotus step by step, sat under the bodhi tree, and finally became a Buddha.

Li Shaojie didn't want to make a divertimento.

Nor was it intended to be an opera.

Instead, I want to make a large-scale work that belongs only to myself, integrates oriental culture, and only expresses my own thoughts.

【Nine-Colored Deer】!Cave 257 of Mogao Grottoes

【Thousands of hands and eyes】!Cave 3 of Mogao Grottoes.

It is the story of Princess Miaoshan saving her father.

【Zen Garden】!Cave 185 in Dunhuang.

It is the story of "Bodhi has no tree".

【Heart Sutra】!Cave 3 of Yulin Grottoes.

The story of a woman from the Western Regions, Zhen Na, and a music monk, Kong Xian, warmed each other with body temperature in the cold and dark night, and finally, Zhen Na froze to death in the arms of the music monk, Kong Xian.

And the sixth movement, which echoes the opening first act.

【the other side】!Cave 158 of Mogao Grottoes.

The Buddha said to his disciples, in a short time, I will enter the realm of the other shore.

The disciples wept bitterly, but the Buddha was compassionate and humorous, telling the philosophy of life and his understanding of life.

Finally, the disciple asked the final question.

"Are you a god?"

Buddha replied: "No!"

"Are you the Son of God?"

"Neither!"

"Are you sent by God?"

"Even less!!"

The disciple was confused.

"Then what are you?"

Buddha smiles.

"I am awakened!"

After all, close your eyes and enter the realm of the other side! !
put down the pen.

Li Shaojie let out a long sigh of relief.

The entire shelf of the work is erected.

Even looking at the titles I wrote down, recalling the stories I heard.

They all felt a heartbeat.

Yes.

Even before he wrote a single note, Li Shaojie was filled with emotions, and an infinite sense of holiness emerged in his heart.

It seems that the brilliance of "goodness" has been briefly touched.

I want to express the beautiful morality, spirit, and thoughts of human beings with my own music.

Li Shaojie closed his eyes, recalled, and organized his thoughts.

All beings are suffering, but all beings are beautiful.

All living beings are ignorant, but all living beings are Buddhas.

It seems to have a dialogue with ancient Dunhuang across the millennium.

Li Shaojie felt that his thoughts seemed to be sublimated.

It is no longer an emotional battle for the so-called "exchange meeting".

Instead, it conveys Chinese culture, Chinese voice, and Chinese thought.

It is to express beauty, to express love and kindness.

Opening his eyes, Li Shaojie breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he doesn't believe in Buddhism, Li Shaojie at this time is still devout, careful, stroke by stroke, and wrote the title of the whole song in the top blank space of the first page.

"Dunhuang Ode to Compassion"! !

　You can see some excerpts of Ode to Compassion at Station B. The Q sound is charged (an album is 60 and not complete, but it’s not a big problem. It’s definitely not a note by note to analyze the musical form of 100 million words, let alone write it. Too deep, in fact, many stories are in the two chapters before and after)
　　As for not continuing to discuss philosophy, it is basically done here. (this damn desire to survive)
　　But it still needs to be written. After thinking about it, it is not only the story of the work, but also an improvement of the protagonist's mentality and subsequent behavior. (Of course, becoming a Buddha doesn’t mean you don’t stop spraying people. Brother Jie just changed from Jetlin to Jetlin Bodhisattva. He is so merciful and merciful. He sprayed [-] words) (just kidding, manual dog head)
