   With an empty mind and a far-sighted mind, both gains and losses are at peace. The world is long, and the years are passing by. All living beings in the world are trapped in the word gain and loss. They toss and turn in sleep for the pursuit of gain, and are grieved by the loss. They are ups and downs in obsession throughout their lives, and rarely have a moment of peace. Thousands of years ago, there was an old man who lived in seclusion in the deep valley of Nanshan Mountain. The world called him Mr. Wuxin. He saw through the reincarnation of gains and losses in the world, and realized the truth of "gaining without losing, losing without losing". Based on what he saw and heard in his life, he turned this mysterious truth into historical fables to enlighten countless people who were lost in gains and losses. At that time, the world was initially settled and a new dynasty was established. The young king worked hard to govern, but he was always obsessed with gains and losses. He wanted to protect the country thousands of miles away and possess the greatest treasures in the world. He longed to be admired by all people and achieve eternal fame, but he was worried all day long: he was afraid of losing his territory, afraid of powerful ministers seizing power, afraid of betrayal of people's hearts, and afraid of failure to accomplish his achievements. After working day and night, his figure became increasingly haggard, and affairs in the court became increasingly chaotic. The ministers had their own thoughts, and the people gradually began to complain because of the king's excessive and strict control. In desperation, the king put down his body and went to Nanshan in person to look for Mr. Wu Xin, just to solve the dilemma in his heart. In the deep valley, with the pine breeze blowing and the clear spring gurgling, Mr. Wuxin, dressed in coarse linen clothes, sat quietly on the stone, with no tea or wine in his hands, but his expression was peaceful. When the king saw this, he bowed and bowed, and expressed his anguish: "Sir, I am sitting in the world, and I have obtained the most noble position and the vastest country in the world, but why am I still in panic all the time? I am afraid of losing it all, and I hold on to everything, but the more I hold on, the more chaotic I am. Why is this?" Mr. Wuxin raised his eyes to the king, spoke slowly, and first told the story of Fan Li in the Spring and Autumn Period. When Wu and Yue were fighting for hegemony, King Gou Jian of Yue was forced to endure hardships. Fan Li, as a minister of the humerus, devoted his life's wisdom to assist Gou Jian to endure humiliation and accumulate strength, and finally defeated the Wu Kingdom and avenged his previous humiliation. In terms of rewards for merit, Gou Jian wanted to entrust half of the country to Fan Li, granting him supreme power and endless wealth. This is the "get" that the world longs for throughout his life - success, fame, wealth, and power. But Fan Li saw clearly. He knew that Gou Jian was a man who could share adversity but not wealth. "Getting" at this time seems to be glory, but in fact it is a shackles and the beginning of disaster. If you are obsessed with the fame and wealth in front of you and hold on to this hard-won power, you will only end up with a different body and a different body. Therefore, Fan Li resolutely refused the reward, gave up all fame and fortune, and left quietly with his family, hiding in the rivers and lakes, and boating on the five lakes. Everyone in the world laughs at Fan Li for being stupid, willing to be a commoner instead of giving up the wealth and wealth within his reach. But as everyone knows, this is the wisdom of "getting something but not getting it". Fan Li took the initiative to let go of his obsession with "gain" and was not bound by fame or interests. He seemed to have lost his power and wealth, but he gained the most precious freedom and peace, and was able to live the rest of his life in peace. He also relied on his wisdom to do business and became rich, becoming a business saint respected by future generations. Wenzhong, who assisted Gou Jian with Fan Li, was obsessed with the fame he had gained and refused to let go, and was eventually sentenced to death by Gou Jian. The "de" he held tightly turned into a rope that threatened his life. After hearing this, the king thought thoughtfully and asked again: "Sir, what is the meaning of 'lost without losing'?" Mr. Wuxin smiled calmly and talked about Zhuge Liang's past during the Three Kingdoms period. Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei throughout his life, from having nothing to establishing the foundation of the Shu Han Dynasty, dedicated himself to it, and died. What he wanted all his life was to revive the Han Dynasty and restore the old capital. To this end, he made six trips to Qishan and made northern expeditions to the Central Plains, spending his whole life. However, destiny cannot be violated, and the Shu Han national power is weak. Even though Zhuge Liang has the talent to know the world, he ultimately failed to complete the great cause of the Northern Expedition and died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, leaving eternal regrets. In the eyes of the world, Zhuge Liang was a failure. He lost the ideal he pursued throughout his life, lost the opportunity to revive the Han Dynasty, and even lost his own life. But Zhuge Liang has never been disturbed by this inevitable loss. He knew clearly that the Northern Expedition was difficult and that the Han Dynasty would be difficult to prosper, but he still stuck to his heart and did his best to obey the destiny. He did not care about gains and losses, only for the morality and responsibility in his heart. He seemed to have lost his merits, but he won the name of eternal loyalty. His wisdom and character were praised by future generations and became the embodiment of wisdom in the hearts of the world. This "loss" was just a loss in the eyes of the world, but he kept his inner integrity and original intention and never lost anything truly precious. On the other hand, those who are obsessed with temporary gains and losses, such as Zhou Yu during the Three Kingdoms period, were talented but narrow-minded. They were obsessed with competing with Zhuge Liang, obsessed with being unable to defeat the opponent's "loses", and were trapped by the heart of gains and losses. In the end, they were so angry that they died young. He cared too much about the winning and losing in front of him, and was consumed by this obsession. In the end, he even lost his own life, which led to a sad ending. This is "lost without losing" - if you are obsessed with losing and trapped by frustration, you will eventually lose more. The gentleman looked at the king's increasingly calm expression and continued to talk: "Everything in the world has its reincarnation. Gains and losses are the normal state of the world. The sun and the moon rotate, and there are sunrises and sunsets. The four seasons change, and flowers bloom and fall. In life, there are gains and losses, and there are no exceptions." "Everything enters my eyes, but not my heart; everything leaves my body, but does not hurt my spirit." All the prosperity in the world, fame and fortune, wealth and power, love and hatred, can all be reflected in my eyes. I can clearly see all kinds of things in the world, but do not take these external things to my heart, and do not let them influence my mood; all the good things in the world will eventually leave. The departure of all things from my side is just a law of nature. There is no need to be sad and tiring, and to deplete your mind. At that time, Tao Yuanming saw through the darkness of officialdom and was unwilling to give up his salary and status for five buckets of rice. He resolutely gave up his official salary and status and retired to his countryside. He lost the glory of officialdom and his future in the eyes of the world, but he gained the leisure and comfort of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains", and kept the nobility and freedom in his heart. He was not obsessed with the gains in officialdom, nor obsessed with the losses in the countryside. He had no worries and eventually became a pastoral poet, leaving his name for eternity. And those who are trapped by obsession spend their entire lives running for gains and losses. The emperors in ancient times were obsessed with immortality and eternal peace. They exhausted all the world's financial resources to find elixirs, strictly controlled the people of the world, and clung to "gain". In the end, the people were filled with resentment, the country was in turmoil, and everything they had gained was in vain. If you are obsessed with gaining, even if you have it temporarily, it will become a burden on you. You will worry about losing it day and night, have trouble sleeping and eating, and will be overwhelmed by this burden; be indifferent to loss, understand that loss is the normal state of life, do not be entangled or obsessed, let go of the shackles in your heart, even if you lose, it will be a kind of relief, and you will no longer be tied down by gains and losses, and your heart will be at ease. The king stood in the valley, watching the clouds rolling in the mountains, listening to the chirping of birds and insects in the forest, and his heart suddenly became enlightened. Previously, he had been clinging to the power of the country, obsessed with gaining more and holding on to everything. He regarded everything in the world as his private property, for fear of losing even half of it. As a result, he was not only exhausted physically and mentally, but also made the people in the court uneasy. The teacher finally said: "If you do what you must win with the intention of not losing, you will be invincible; if you do what you must win with the spirit of not losing, you will not be defeated even though you are defeated. When doing things, let go of the obsession that you must get something, concentrate on doing the thing at the moment, do not be distracted by gains and losses, and instead be able to do your best. If you go ahead and do your best, you will naturally achieve something; when facing a situation where you are destined to lose, keep a calm and calm demeanor, do not panic, do not be frustrated, and keep your heart. Even if the results are not as expected, you will not get confused and still maintain your inner calmness and determination. " "When this heart returns to emptiness, all things in the world will be tolerated." When the mind lets go of all obsessions with gains and losses, is no longer tied down by external objects, and returns to emptiness and tranquility, it can tolerate all things in the world. Gaining it is the icing on the cake, neither arrogant nor impetuous; losing it is the gift of time, neither sad nor resentful. Only when the mind is free from burdens can one be able to travel steadily and far; only when the mind is empty can one be able to accommodate the heaven and earth. The king bid farewell to Mr. Wuxin and returned to the court, changing his past behavior since then. He is no longer obsessed with the gains and losses of guarding a city and a pond, no longer demands eternal fame, takes corvee lightly, rests with the people, appoints talents, and broadens the scope of speech. He governs the world with an indifferent heart, focusing on doing everything that benefits the people, and is not disturbed by distracting thoughts of gains and losses. The court gradually becomes clearer, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country becomes more stable. He finally understood that the most rare thing in life is not to have many external things, but to have an empty heart that is not trapped in gains and losses, and does not bother with external things. All the conflicts and pains in the world are caused by obsession. If you are obsessed with gains, you will be trapped by gains and losses. Only by being indifferent to losses can you gain freedom and peace. Between heaven and earth, everything comes and goes at its own time. Gains and losses are just ordinary scenery on the road of life. There is no need to be complacent about temporary gains, and there is no need to be heartbroken over temporary losses. Treat gains and losses with a normal mind, live the rest of your life with an empty mind, see all things clearly without being trapped by them, and experience gains and losses without disturbing your heart. Only then can you find inner peace in the ups and downs of the years, tolerate all the beauty in the world, live calmly and comfortably, and have no regrets in this life. This is the eternal way of gain and loss, and it is also the most transparent wisdom in life.
