Reader comments
What is the meaning of life? Are all the joys and sorrows in the world here to provide us with life nourishment? With these questions, I read this book. It told me that joy and sorrow are inseparable in life, and that people should maintain a balanced and calm mentality when facing all kinds of things. There can be ups and downs or joys at any time. When encountering setbacks and difficulties, we should keep a calm and clear mind and face them with a normal heart; and in the face of success and happiness, we should not be too obsessed and complacent, stay humble and rational, and never forget our original intentions.
There is a saying that goes well, everything is a cycle of cause and effect. In daily life, ups and downs accompany each other, joys and sorrows, everything has its causes first and then its consequences. Don't create hatred and love in any realm, only in this way can you let go of everything. Master Yin Guang practices the Pure Land Buddha-Recitation method. All living beings have Buddha-nature. Buddha-nature is the wonderful nature inherent in the human heart. Buddha-nature has three causes, positive cause, final cause, and conditional cause. After understanding, practicing various good methods in Buddhism can slowly eliminate confusion, increase blessings and wisdom, and realize the truth.
This book selects famous Buddhist works by four masters. The four of them have their own unique practices and cover all aspects of learning Buddhism. They may have learned different things, but they have the same ideas. As far as Master Taixu's articles are concerned, he focuses on Buddhism. From reading his articles, you can know that the Mahayana of Buddhism is the solution to a life of enlightenment. No matter what the truth of life is, being able to awaken correctly is a life of enlightenment. If you want to learn Buddhism, you must understand the purpose and effects of Buddhism. If you want to practice successfully, you must slowly understand its principles.
I read it carefully and gained an entry-level understanding of Buddhist thought. The masters' language skills are very good, and the various explanations are step-by-step and instructive, and even a novice like me can understand a few things. Good book, worth reading!
The pain and joy in the world all depend on one's own choices. Master Hongyi began to come into contact with Buddhist classics and was influenced by Buddhism at a very young age. Due to various factors, he chose to become a monk. For him, becoming a monk was like a completely different person, unlike before when he was always mentally and physically exhausted. The articles selected in the book mainly tell why Master Hongyi chose to become a monk and how he felt after becoming a monk, as well as his thoughts on the habits he corrected after becoming a monk. Regardless of whether he studies Buddhism or not, it is worthwhile to correct his original bad habits and make himself look brand new.
Why contemporary young people believe in Buddhism has become a social issue that has attracted much attention. However, when we open this book, it is not difficult to find the reasons from the writings of the four masters Taixu, Hongyi, Xuyun and Yinguang. Buddhism advocates a transcendent ideological realm and promotes the value of escaping from the world. In this society where class mobility is solidified and young people have no hope, we may only be able to rely on Buddhism to reach the realm of happiness in one step for the suffering in life.
This book allowed me to understand the essence of Buddhist learning from four eminent monks. They teach us how to live better in different ways. I especially like the story about the Buddha in the book. He gave up his luxurious life to pursue the truth. His courage and determination are admirable. Moreover, the book also mentioned the truths of Buddhism, which made me think more deeply about the world. All in all, this is a very enlightening book and worth reading!
People often say that one thought is God and the other is devil. In my opinion, this seems to be true. After all, all right and wrong in the world are just one step away, just like the title of this book, "All pain and joy in the world are only one step away." We must pay attention to choices in life and keep everything in proportion. I believe you will have a deeper understanding after reading this book, which will help me understand more things that I didn't understand at all before. This book will definitely bring you unexpected gains.
Very good, I understand the thoughts of the masters
