Though the world is vast, it is no bigger than the heart of man


Listen Later

Though the world is vast, it is no bigger than the heart of man.
Xian’er says so: Those who can change the world.
It rained heavily last night.

Xian’er was reading sutras till late night and had a revelation.

He said repeatedly: “I know why Shifu didn’t take me abroad.”

Zhao Xiaocui asked: “Why didn’t your Shifu take you abroad?”

Xian’er said: “Just read on.”


Below are quoted from my Shifu’s new book,  Say Good Things —Master Xuecheng’s   insight on the path to speaking like a Buddha.
Although the world is vast, it is no bigger than the heart of man.
Those who changed the world are all masters of their mind/heart.
We should focus on what we can do rather than observation and criticism of what we cannot.

世界虽然很大,却大不过人的一颗心
贤二如是说:真正改变世界的人
昨天有暴雨,贤二读经读到深夜的时候,
忽然灵光乍现,说,
我知道师父为什么不带我出国了,
我知道师父为什么不带我出国了,
我知道师父为什么不带我出国了。
赵小翠问,你师父为什么不带你出国呢?
贤二说,往下看。


以下来自我师父的《好好说话》
其实,世界虽然很大,
却大不过人的一颗心,
所有真正改变世界的人,
都只是把握了自己的一颗心。
与其把太多精力放在观察和批评
自己不能改变的事情上,
不如多关注和践行自己能够做到的。
