"Why have I always been so unhappy? I have always had bad luck." "Why can't I let go of so many things?" "What should I do if my work doesn't go as I want?" "What should I do after a breakup?" "How to get along with my parents?" What should I do if my children don't obey me?"... Life is not going as planned. Nine times out of ten, everyone will encounter unpleasant things. In fact, "external things cannot overwhelm us, and what makes us exhausted mentally and physically are all obstacles that cannot be overcome in our hearts."
"Every Family Has a Hard-to-Recite Sutra" is such a book of Buddhist teachings that teaches people to change their views and eliminate troubles in life. In the book, Master Xuecheng tells us that both ups and downs in life are normal and impermanent from three aspects: "Don't do any evil and pursue all good deeds", "The Way of Diligence" and "One Word to Awaken People in Dreams". Because of impermanence, everything has the potential to change for the better.
