Picked it up [1]
Being a monk needs leisure, and leisure is expensive.
How to dust outsiders and enter the dust?
I have always been fascinated by my true feelings, and I will eventually serve fame and fortune.
Fame and fortune, gaunt.
If the situation is not satisfactory, he will use his life ambition for nothing.
Poor people who have nothing to do can't laugh.

The purpose of becoming a monk is to live a leisurely life.
Life can be leisure, which is the most precious.
Why do many people leave home?
Should be outside the world of mortals, but still plunge into the world of mortals?
Secular people always lose their true feelings.
Become a slave to fame and fortune day after day
If you become famous, your appearance will become haggard.
What's more, people who can't be famous are everywhere.
I wasted the best years of my precious life in vain.
Alas! Youth is gone!
A monk who is busy with wealth.
You are the most interesting people.
Analysis and appreciation
On a whim, an American newspaper once sent reporters to the streets to stop passers-by. Then, it took out a crumpled $20 bill from its pocket (according to the current price level, you can barely enjoy a sumptuous buffet in a restaurant) and mysteriously asked passers-by, "Are you willing to sell your soul to the devil for 20 yuan?"
To my surprise, 58% people signed it without thinking. It's the most important thing to put 20 yuan in their pockets first!
Someone said, "Twenty dollars is in front of us and it is easy to get. Why not take it? "
Others said, "This is just a joke. What is the devil's soul contract? "
And those who refused to sign, some people said, "Although this is just a joke, what if it is true?"
Others said, "The soul is priceless and cannot be measured by money."
I don't know. What would you do if it were you?
The song "Being a monk should be leisure" I found pointed out that monks value leisure and should not live a busy life like secular people. What is the difference between this and secular people? After leaving home, I entered another home, still in the lock of fame and fortune.
Becoming a monk, seeking Buddhism and Taoism, and degrading all beings are the things of her husband's heroes, not idle.
If, although a person has become a monk, his heart has not become a monk, it will remind me of those who signed a contract and sold their souls to the devil. Maybe you will say that this is just a joke. However, I believe that a serious person on the road of spiritual practice will not make fun of his own soul.
Yes, becoming a monk is an agreement with Buddha. You promised to follow the Buddha's footsteps, experience the Buddha's inner experience, and breathe through the same nostril as the Buddha ... This agreement is sacred and solemn, which is the real reason for becoming a respectable monk.
Perhaps some people don't agree with the idea of this poem, thinking that this idea has the unique quiet style of Hinayana Buddhism. Although it has a good side, it also lacks the enthusiasm of Mahayana Bodhisattva to actively save the world. It cannot be used to discredit monks who are enthusiastic about participating in social activities.
This view is very clever and completely correct.
Therefore, we should go deeper and say that although Bodhisattva actively saves the world in action, she is still at ease in her heart. Although the Bodhisattva wears jewelry, her heart for fame and fortune is still unshakable.
Let's rise to a higher angle. After all, monks are only a small part of all mankind. We are also concerned about whether most people who don't become monks can also have a monk's heart.
When you are busy, you should have a carefree heart belonging to the monk; In your spare time, you should have a leisurely mood.
Being a spiritual monk is more precious than being a physical monk.
Leisure in the mind is more beautiful than leisure in the body.
