original text

Everywhere I go, I always pick up some local stones as a souvenir. A friend didn't understand and asked me, "What's the value of stones?"

"Stone has no practical value, it is the best memorial of a place, and money can't buy it." I said.

In our world, everything has a reason to exist. A stone, a wild flower, a grass and a tree are all telling their own values, and only those who are destined to see them can see them.

Black stones may be brighter than bright red satin.

A coarse cloth dress sewn by my mother is warmer than a shiny new dress.

A small tree in the forest is sometimes more touching than a delicate orchid.

Even everyone has a reason to exist! Some exist for love, some for learning, and some for the beauty of life. Only when a person determines the reason for his existence can he become more confident, affectionate and gentle. (Text/Lin Qingxuan)

(2) Broken orchids

Reading instruction

The most important thing in life is self-cultivation. However, there are not many people in the world who can really understand the way of cultivation. The Zen master in Broken Orchid should be regarded as one of the few people who have achieved something. How else could he have such an open-minded temperament?

original text

A Zen master liked orchids very much. He spent a lot of time planting orchids after preaching Buddhism and giving lectures on weekdays. One day, he will travel for a period of time. Before he left, he told his disciples to take good care of the orchids in the temple. During this time, the disciples have always taken good care of orchids, but one day when watering, they accidentally knocked over the orchid stand, all the orchid pots were broken and the orchids were scattered all over the floor. The disciples were very afraid of this, and they planned to make amends to Master and accept punishment when he came back.

The Zen master came back. When he heard about it, he called his disciples. Instead of blaming him, he said, "I planted orchids because I wanted to dedicate them to the Buddha and because I wanted to beautify the environment in the temple, not because I was angry."

The Zen master put it well: "orchids are not planted for anger." The reason why Zen master is open-minded is that although he likes orchids, he has no orchids in his heart. So the gain and loss of orchids does not affect his mood. Similarly, in our daily life, we care too much about gains and losses, so our mood fluctuates and we are unhappy. When we are angry, if we can think more: "I don't work to be angry." "I don't teach people to be angry." "I don't make friends to get angry." "I didn't have a baby to be angry." Then, we will solve our worries and get another kind of peace. (Text/Anonymous)

(3) the chess game of life

Reading instruction

When watching people play games, outsiders often see clearly, but the authorities are fascinated. When two people go to war, if someone gives directions from the side, it will often make both sides lose their minds. As a result, "Chuhe" and "Han Jie" have the warning words: "Look at chess without saying it is a true gentleman, and there are many talkative donkeys by the river". Chess players don't like people who watch chess to talk too much, in order to show their opinions. Besides, there is nothing to lose by making mistakes. This is just a game of chess. Anyone can afford to lose, but who can afford to lose life? Who can afford to lose this game of chess in life? My friend, the journey of life, if you can always be kindly reminded by onlookers, may make you invincible forever. Believe it or not, when you finish reading Liu Yong's Chess of Life, you will definitely understand the true meaning of life.

original text

Life is like a chess game, and the opponent is our environment. Some people can anticipate a dozen steps, even dozens, and make arrangements early; Some people can only see a few steps away, and even take one step at a time.

If you play against a master, you will often make mistakes and lose the game. However, when the master plays chess, the mess he sees may turn around and come back to life.

Some people play chess, but they often make mistakes when they are busy; Some people play chess because they have too many long exams at first, and then they are stretched out.

Some people play chess and never give up until the last moment; Some people play chess, and when the situation is not good, they abandon their children and surrender.

There are always fewer and fewer chess pieces, and life is always getting shorter and shorter, so I made a mistake early, and later I have to deal with it with double distress. And the fragments went one by one, and the less left, the more careful you should be. Victory is beautiful; It will take a long time to lose. You lose less, and you have some face.

Fortunately, although the chess game in life is also a "point of no return", people who watch chess don't have to "watch chess without saying a word", so people with poor skills can often create a good situation by finding a few staff members. But remember, the staff who watch chess also have their own chess game. Don't ask for help casually and miss the battle on his site.

If you don't know how to plan the future, you must be a bad chess player. If you don't have a staff, you must be a lonely chess player; If you want to turn over the chessboard and say goodbye to life early because you can't afford to lose, you must be the stupidest chess player.

Excuse me: How many pieces do you have? How much have you gained? Should we be more careful and put the remaining pieces in the best position? (Text/liuyong)

( 1)

1. From the "value" of stone to "everything has a reason to exist" in the world, and then to "everyone has a reason to exist".

2. The author said that "stones have no real value", which means that ordinary stones can't be sold like jewels, but in his view, stones have special commemorative value, which "can't be bought with money".

3. This is very important. Because a person can only become more confident, affectionate and gentle if he determines the reason for his existence.

4. Because "the coarse clothes sewn by mother" permeates the most precious affection in the world, it is "warmer than the shiny new clothes"; And "Little Trees in the Forest" has a spirit of self-improvement despite the wind and rain, so it is "sometimes more touching than delicate orchids".

5. Spring breeze is green. The spring breeze in Jiang Nanan awakened the sleeping earth and kissed my face.

6. For our parents, "we will always be an unrepeatable orphan", and for our close friends who have been in contact for many years, "it is like ancient pottery in the desert. If one piece is broken, one piece will be missing, and the same finished product will never be found".

1. paved the way for the disciples' panic after writing the broken orchid, and also set off the Zen master's transcendence and refinement.

2. Ordinary people care too much about gains and losses, and their emotions are prone to ups and downs. The Zen master, on the other hand, can look at things with ease, and the gains and losses of foreign objects will not affect the joys and sorrows in his heart.

3. don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself.

Be reasonable and open-minded, don't care about personal gains and losses, think more about happy things, and don't ask for trouble. (only makes sense)

(3)

1. Be careful

2. Because life is precious, each of us has the responsibility to make our own life wonderful, and everyone has the responsibility to make other people's lives wonderful. Seeing other people's "life is a game of chess", reminding them in time and being a consultant can make you make fewer mistakes. It is a good thing to be kind to others. In that case, why not do it? Therefore, for "a game of chess in life", people who watch chess don't have to watch chess without saying a word.

There is no uniform answer to this question. We can appreciate people who can foresee a dozen or even dozens of steps and make arrangements early, because such people have strong foresight, can plan ahead and cope with it freely; People who "never give up until the last moment" can be appreciated, because such people have a tough fighting spirit and a fighting spirit that is not easy to say and lose; You can also appreciate those "masters" who "see a mess, but may turn around and come back to life" because they have the psychological quality of calm and calm response.

4. Cherish life and let the limited life and limited energy emit the maximum light and heat.

We should establish ideals, make clear plans, unite and cooperate, and be brave in struggle.
