Isn’t it good to calm the mind down?
Xian’er says so: What is real tranquility of mind?
Xian’er didn’t clean the toilet, didn’t chop wood,
didn’t carry water barrels, didn’t serve tea, and didn’t do anything.
He did go for sitting meditation.
Shifu sent Xianyi to get Xian’er and asked him why he didn’t do his duties.
Xian’er said: “I want to calm my mind. I know you will certainly criticize me. But I just want to say something before you do that. Isn’t it good to have tranquility of mind?”
Want to know how Shifu sets Xian’er straight, please read the following.
Below are quoted from my Shifu’s new book, Say Good Things—Master Xuecheng’s insight on the path to speaking like a Buddha.
It is good to have a peaceful mind, and it is even better when there is compassion.
Quietness of a bowl of water is inevitably shallow.
Tranquility of the ocean can bear huge ships.
难道让心静下来不好吗?
贤二如是说:什么是真正的静心
贤二没有刷马桶,也没有劈柴,
也没有挑水,也没有端茶,
也没有做别的事情,
而是去静坐了。
师父让贤一把贤二找来,
问他为什么没去做事情?
贤二说,我想静静心,
我知道您一定又会批评我,
不过,在您批评我之前,
我想先说一句,难道静心不好吗?
想知道师父怎么一招搞定贤二的,
请看下面......
以下来自我师父的《好好说话》
静心很好,
再加上悲心就更好。
浅浅一碗水的沉静不免狭隘,
广阔大海的沉静则能承载巨轮。
