View in the heart
There is a temple at the foot of Nanshan,and an ancient banyan is in front of it.
One
morning,a young monk gets up to clean up the courtyard and sees the
fallen leaves from the ancient banyan are everywhere,he can't help
worrying and look at the tree to sigh.
For his sorrow is on the
toppest,he throws down the broom and rushes to his master's room ,then
he knocks on the door to plea for interview.
His master hears it
and opens the door,when he sees the disciple's worried look,he thinks
something takes place,so he hurries to ask him:" My disciple, what does
you worry about so much in the early morning? "
The
young disciple is full of doubt and tells him:"Master, you persuades us
to be diligent to cultivate our moral character and grasp the truth day
and night,but, even I learn them well ,it is hard to avoid to die.Till
that time,so-called me, so-called Dao, aren't they just like the
defoliation in autumn or the deadwood in winter? and they will be
buried by a heap of loess?"
After hearing it ,the old monk
points at the ancient banyan and says to the young monk:" My disciple
,you don't need to worry about this.In fact, the defoliation in autumn
and the deadwood in winter will climb back to the trees silently and
become the flowers in spring and grow up into the leaves in summer at
the time of autumnal winds is blowing strongliest and the snow falls
down most heavily."
"Why don't I see it?"
"It is the reason that there isn't any view in your heart, so you can't see the bloom ."
Facing
the withering defoliations and imaging they will be in bud,it needs to
have an immortal of spring heart, an optimism of heart.
There
are always some miseries you will meet in your whole life and strike
you when you are unprepared, but we don't need to worry day after day
for the arrival of this day, and feel sorry to yourself.
Treating
the life with the attitude of the optimism, it can not only dissolve
the agony and misfortune , but also bring a kind of pleased mood to you
everyday and make your life bright and flourishing .
As long as the view is in the heart,aren't the paths full of fragrance of flowers everywhere?
