Question 1: Who is the real master?

If people have different levels of understanding, then who is the real master of understanding?

Regarding this issue, I once thought that the masters of enlightenment should be the eminent monks in temples, the lonely people in the mountains, the travelers in the wilderness, the masters of Chinese studies in the stacks of books, etc.

In short, in my opinion in the past, masters of enlightenment should be those who "stay away" from the hustle and bustle of the world in various ways.

If we follow this line of thinking, those who, like Chen Xiaoxu, were once "trapped" in the hustle and bustle of the world and then "away" from the hustle and bustle of the world by escaping into Buddhism, seem to have become masters of enlightenment, or at least are closer to masters of enlightenment.

human level.

However, now I have a new understanding of this issue.

As the saying goes, "A small hermit hides in the wild, a big hermit hides in the city."

According to this idea, a true enlightenment master should still live in the noisy world.

So, who are they?

I noticed that Bill Gates, the world's richest man, and Warren Buffett, the investment tycoon, have donated more than 10 billion U.S. dollars to charity funds, and the latter has donated more than 30 billion U.S. dollars to charity funds. These two have donated almost all of their net worth.

.

Just judging from the amount of funds donated, you can imagine how many people their charity can benefit.

Both of these men have been competing in the hustle and bustle of worldly business for decades.

What is even more noteworthy is that after donating huge sums of money, Bill/Gates and Warren/Buffett did not "stay away" from the noisy world, but continued to do their business and live their lives as usual.

.

In this world, when it comes to career success, these two people can be said to be at the top, and when it comes to good deeds, these two people can be said to be the best at the end of the world!

These two people's understanding of wealth and life is beyond the reach of ordinary people like us. They are the real masters of enlightenment, and their level is far better than those so-called "eminent monks" who are "away" from the hustle and bustle of the world!

I also thought of those celebrities who became monks. People always associate their monk behavior with their good deeds and their enlightenment.

To be honest, for those famous people who have become monks, their behavior of becoming monks is just their choice of personal free will and has nothing to do with doing good deeds or understanding.

It must be that Chen Xiaoxu. After starring in Dream of Red Mansions, he was deeply obsessed with Lin Daiyu and couldn't extricate himself. Then he finally became a nun and died not long afterward, leaving behind an empty charity fund after his death.

If she really wants to do good, she should run the company she runs well, pay more taxes to the society, and be more capable of directly caring for out-of-school children or other disadvantaged groups, instead of being sick *** Difo Lai

Buddha goes.

After all, Chen Xiaoxu is a mentally unhealthy person.

In terms of the level of enlightenment, comparing Bill/Gates and Warren/Buffett, the celebrities who are monks in China are far behind!

The real enlightened masters are people like Gates and Buffett, who actively face life and society, live happily, run their own careers seriously, and are generous and rational people who do good.

True enlightenment cannot be achieved simply by escaping from society and staying away from it.

Wang Shi of Vanke is also a master of enlightenment, but if you think that the key to Wang Shi’s enlightenment is his mountain climbing behavior, you are totally wrong.

Don’t forget that Wang Shi was already a very successful entrepreneur before he fell in love with mountaineering (he insisted never to pay bribes).

And he didn’t give up on his career as an entrepreneur because of mountaineering.

I hope that our society will have more real masters of enlightenment like Gates, Buffett, and Wang Shi, and fewer patients like Chen Xiaoxu who seem to be enlightened.

Question 2: This is the real master, very classic. Thoughts after reading. Since he was on tour incognito, why was he recognized?

Even if he recognized it, how did he know that Zuo Zongtang was going to lead troops to fight?

Judging from the grandmaster’s plaque titled “The Best Chess Player in the World,” he doesn’t look like a high-minded person who is indifferent to fame and wealth. Why did he lose three games in a row so simply?

If this incident is false, is the philosophy of life based on fabricated stories really credible?

Even if this is true, even if the master is concerned about the war and is afraid of losing his spirit, does this worry reflect distrust and disrespect for Zuo Zongtang, a famous general of the Hunan Army?

Losing confidence and losing the war after losing chess?

Is his so-called goodwill wishful thinking?

Question 3: What does a real master look like? Masters are also human beings. No matter what aspect they are a master in, they just have two eyes and one nose. If they are different, it is just because we look up.

Question 4: What is the current situation of Taoism in China?

Where are the real masters among the people?

The current state of Taoism is one of concealment. Taoist masters like to hide from the world because people in the world should be responsible for what they do and strive for their own ideals because the Tao belongs to everyone. As long as you are destined, Taoist masters can see you everywhere. Question 5

: What does a truly enlightened master look like?

You may not be able to tell from the outside, Zhuangzi said that the great hermit is hidden in the city.
