Three Realms of life

Wang Guowei once said in his "word of the Earth" that the struggle for life must go through three realms: The first realm is "last night, the west wind withered green trees, tall buildings on its own, and the sky is broken ", this is a person looking for an ideal in the lonely,
Looking for the painful moments of life. The second realm is to find a goal worth fighting, the process of making every effort at all costs;
The third realm is "Looking back, but the person is in the dark, discover that what you want is in your own side or after understanding. At this time, world
It is no longer important to achieve a vulgar goal. What matters is the liberation of the soul and the attribution of the soul.

A person's life can be complete only after three stages. Our life should be simple and simple
And then return to a higher level of simplicity. In our childhood, we were curious about the world, and our parents helped us block the storms from the outside. Therefore, our poor life is warm and full of innocence and joy.
Happy, the soul is filled with the desire to explore the world, there is no shadow in the life of the right to seize the profit; then we entered a complex society, life and thoughts suddenly lost, become helpless and confused. The darkness of society makes us
Cold-hearted, the competition for Survival makes us care, the competition for interests makes us sinister, and the harm of others makes us vicious. The joy of childhood becomes a fairy tale, and the path to life is narrower and narrower. Many people cannot extricate themselves at this level.
More and more mediocre soul, more and more closed mind, greedy for money and power makes most people lose the ability to pursue happiness and happiness. Whether a person is able to gain happiness depends on whether the person can enter the second level.
The third level is to return to a simple life. At this time, simplicity is no longer a simple childhood, but a clear and cheerful experience after the storm of life, just like the clear sky after the rain, life is like a wash, the realm is highly open. Tao
Yuan Ming is a typical representative of this realm.

The world is easy to say. Through studying Zen, Su Dongpo thought that he had reached the third realm of life, secular feelings and complexity.
Miscellaneous cannot shake him any more. Therefore, I wrote a poem to the Buddha and India Zen masters: "The first day of the review, the great light shines like a thousand; the eight winds do not move, the end is sitting on the purple Golden Lotus ." The so-called "Eight winds cannot be moved" refers to the destruction of gains and losses in the world.
It has no effect on him. After writing the poem, Su Dongpo asked people to take the poem to the opposite side of the Yangtze River and hand it to the Buddha-India Zen master. The Buddha-India gave the word "fart" to the poem and brought it back to Su Dongpo. Su Dongpo was furious,
Crossing the river to Kingsoft temple to find the Buddhist theory. When the ship arrived at the shore, foyin had long been waiting there and said to Su Dongpo, "Aren't you 'Eight winds, why did the word 'fart' blow you over the river?" Su
Dongpo is already an advanced person who understands the vicissitudes of life and is still influenced by the emotions of others. It can be seen that we still need a lot of cultivation to reach an open-minded realm of life.

Life is as simple as childhood. It is superficial. It is vulgar to fall into secular disputes. Life is liberated from disputes and enlightened. After consciousness, Wang Guowei can enter the third realm described.
