Taking the poem "Song of Transplanting" written by a cloth bag monk as the introduction, this paper expounds the meaning and personal views of "retreat is progress" step by step with sincere words and gloomy writing. I've been thinking about a problem the other day, which was caused by reading the poem "Song of Transplanting Rice" by a monk in a cloth bag. I thought about it carefully and felt deeply. Why should people look forward? In fact, sometimes retreat is the real wise man, because retreat is only for better progress, just like long jump. Taking a few steps back and jumping forward is definitely much higher and farther than jumping directly.
"Holding a young plant in the field, you can see the water in the sky with your head down. Six quiets will make a meter. Taking a step back turned out to be progress. " Many times, we judge and execute people and things according to common sense, but we don't necessarily get more. The result of paying too much attention to form can sometimes be counterproductive and unsatisfactory. If we can look at the development and choice of things in a different artistic conception, maybe that is what we finally want. Lower your head and you will see the sky in the water. This day is not a real day, but let us understand that as long as we bow our heads modestly, we can truly know ourselves and the world. Bowing your head is to raise your head better. Looking at it from another level with another mentality will produce different feelings and realms. Many times, in the face of the weak who are smaller than us, we don't need to be cocky and cocky. When it's time to bend over, bend down, so as to stretch more straight. Animals will kneel and hold their chests, not to mention humans, walking under the eaves. Is it necessary to hold your head high? Climbing high will make you feel inferior, and going far will make you feel inferior. If we look at the problem from another angle, we may get different results. As the cloth bag monk said, "taking a step back is a step forward", transplanting rice vividly expresses the true meaning of life's progress and retreat, taking and giving up. When you bend down to plant seedlings in the water, you will see another world. When you retreat, the seedlings under your feet are constantly moving forward. In this sense, backward means forward. So is our life. Not everything is always moving forward. If we are indifferent to fame and fortune in our career and stay away from fame and fortune in front of it, we may get more security. Life can't always move forward in prosperity. Sometimes, if we can take a step back and think about it, the so-called "turning back to the shore" will often reach a broad realm. Therefore, people should have the courage to retreat, and retreat is for better progress.
Thinking of Buddhism and Buddhism from the poems of cloth-bag monks. The so-called Buddhism is revealed from self-nature and applied to any intersection of time and space. It is not bound, not troubled, and can see through life. The word "Buddha" is transliterated from Indian Sanskrit, which means "wisdom" and "enlightenment". Only with wisdom can you realize what you have done. Therefore, people living in the world should look at everything with wisdom, and clarify your views on doing things and being a man with wisdom language. A wise language may realize your life. A short story touched me deeply, saying that a family was so poor that it didn't even have money to buy shoes for its children. Children blame their parents and resent why they were born in such a poor family. However, when he finally realized that he just had no shoes to wear, and some people even had no feet at all, he was relieved. Because you got what others didn't, you already got it. Although loss is a kind of pain, it is also a kind of happiness. There are small mistakes to get big gains, and there are local losses to get overall gains. Therefore, when we don't know the truth of a thing, we'd better take a respectful attitude, because everything and things have a degree, depending on how you treat and grasp it, take a step back and think about it, maybe you can reach another realm, a state of mind that makes you suddenly enlightened. Always choose between doubt and worry, you will always live in worry, always look at the world with hatred, and then you will always live in jealousy.
In this world, every trauma is a kind of maturity. Knowing that you are confused is not terrible, but when you don't know that you are confused, it is the most terrible. Just like everyone has a life, but not everyone knows life and even cherishes it. Pain is not terrible, frustration is not painful. Maybe giving up and retreating will realize its true meaning. Although Buddhism is not omnipotent, its concept is profound and philosophical. If you can do great sorrow without tears, realize that there are no words in the truth, and smile silently, you can take everything down and put it down. It's just that it's easy to fold, and the end of the song is over. To say the least, it's vast. When encountering difficulties and obstacles, you should learn to hide your strength and bide your time. Retreat is for better progress, and give up is for more gains. If you don't have a certain realm of life, you may not get more than before giving up. Hate, happiness, and pain. When you look up, the sky is blue. Looking down, the sky in the water is still blue. You just look at it from another angle, but you get a different mood. In the face of pain, you can either go forward bravely or be miserable. When you bypass it or turn around, you may no longer feel it painful. It gives you some enlightenment and makes you understand enlightenment. Isn't it a harvest? In the face of a wrong relationship, if you can treat it with wisdom, you can start a new relationship after giving up completely. In a sense, it is also the beginning of a new life. You are retreating, but the road under your feet is extending forward. You give up the old, which indicates a new beginning. Isn't this an improvement?
Life is not a philosophy, we can't live according to a certain form, so we don't need to label life and set a framework for it, let alone make life too complicated, but learn to be simple. Knowledge is only the lowest beginning. What is more advanced than knowledge is culture, what is more advanced than culture is thought, and what is more advanced than thought is realm. Therefore, we should treat life truly and grasp every experience in life. Please remember: when it's time to retreat, remember to turn around, that's for better progress.
