A short story about the philosophy of life

Life is like jade

Once upon a time, a wise man accepted many students. One of the students asked him, "Teacher, can you tell me something about my value?" The teacher took out a stone and said, "Do something for me first, and then I will tell you the value of life." . If you take this stone to the market, you can't sell it at any price. "

Students take stones to the market to sell, and some people are willing to pay 2 yuan for this stone. No sooner had the man paid the price than some people came. Everyone said that this stone is really bright, and the price has started to increase. They always raise the price of stones to 65,438+00 yuan. The student happily went back to the teacher and said, "Teacher, you can actually sell this stone 10 yuan!" "The teacher said," If you take this stone to the gold market again, no matter how much it costs, it won't sell. "

When the students arrived at the gold market, an old man saw the color of the stone and said it must be the treasure inside. Everyone began to compete for this stone and raised it to the price of 1000 yuan. The students were a little tempted and happily ran back to the teacher and said, "It's amazing that you can sell this stone for 6.5438+0 million yuan!" The teacher smiled and said, "If you take this stone to the jewelry market, you can't sell it no matter how much others pay."

Students took stones to the jewelry market, and when they sold them, someone offered 65,438+10,000. In the blink of an eye, the price of stone has risen to 300 thousand yuan. The student resisted the great temptation to go back and said to the teacher, "I didn't expect you to have such a treasure!" " My task has been completed, so you should tell me the value of this stone. The teacher said to the students, "This stone is really priceless." There are precious jade in it, but you don't know the goods. Maximum value 10 yuan. "

Philosophy of life: In fact, everyone is a piece of jade. We should look at ourselves as a jeweler looks at jade. If someone polishes himself, he becomes a piece of jade. The better he polishes himself, the higher his value. Some people guard their own jade and don't polish it all their lives. He has been a worthless stone all his life. This case inspires us to think about the connotation of life value, that is, what is the value of life? What is the key to realize the value of life? How do you view your life value?

⑵ Life philosophy stories and feelings

1, short story of life philosophy Part I: One kiss and one sparse.

Zen master Jiashan Shanhui and Zen master Shen Ying in Dingshan talked about Buddhism while walking. Zen master Ding Shan said: "If people can always realize that everything in the world is illusory and not even persistent in Buddhism, they can transcend life and death." Jiashan also expressed his insights not to be outdone: "If people can see their Buddha nature in the flow of life and death, they will not be confused by life and death, and they will be able to transcend life and death."

We went to Dameishan to meet Damei Master of the Dharma Field and expressed our opinions. Jia Shan asked Damei Changfa, "We don't know whose opinion is right?" "One kiss and one sparse." It means a right and a bad. Jia Shan asked, "Who is right?" The master of Damei Dafang replied, "Go back first and talk about it tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Master Jiashan went to ask Master Damei, "Which statement is right?" Master Delta often shouts: "The right person will not ask, and the person who comes to ask is wrong."

The life perception of Zen is a method that transcends both sides, does not stand or abolish, and points directly at people's hearts. Jia Shan believes that to transcend life and death, you must have a Buddha in your heart. Ding Shan believes that to get rid of life and death, even the concept of "Buddha" should be eliminated. When there is nothing, it is like saying "there is only half a glass of water left" and saying "there is still half a glass of water", but the views are different.

Jia Shan didn't understand, so he had to ask right and wrong, so he fell into the difference between words and thoughts. No wonder the Zen master of Damei Dafang called him wrong. When Zen asks right and wrong, it falls into binary opposition. Therefore, if Zen scholars insist on the distinction between good and bad, right and wrong, right and wrong, and size, it runs counter to Zen.

2. Short Story of Philosophy of Life 2: Zen on the Water Car

Five Elephant Monks feel thirsty when they walk. A young man in Lu Yu stepped on a waterwheel in a pond, so he asked the young man for a glass of water to drink. The young man said in an envious tone, "Zen master, if one day I see through the world of mortals, I will definitely become a monk like you." However, after I became a monk, I don't want to live without a fixed place and wander around like you. I will find a place to live in seclusion, meditate well and stop showing my face. "

The Zen master smiled and said, "Oh! Then when will you see through the world of mortals? " The young man replied, "I know the nature of waterwheels in our area best." Everyone in the village uses this as the main water source. If I find someone who can take care of my waterwheel, I can find my own way out and become a monk. " Master Wuxiang said, "You know the waterwheel best. Please tell me, what will happen if the waterwheel is completely immersed in water or completely out of water? "

The young man said: "the waterwheel is completely immersed in the water, not only can it not turn, but it will even be washed away by the rapids;" Completely out of water, the car can't get water. Wu Xiang, a Buddhist monk, said, "The relationship between the waterwheel and the water flow has explained the relationship between the individual and the world: if a person enters the WTO completely and jumps into the rivers and lakes, he will inevitably be washed into the world of mortals by the wave of five desires; If you are born pure and pretend to be lofty, then life must be rootless and idle. After listening to this, the young man said happily, "Zen master, what you said really benefited me a lot." "

Life has learned that if a person completely enters the WTO and jumps into the rivers and lakes, he will inevitably be washed away by the tide of five desires. If you are born pure and pretend to be lofty, then life must be rootless and idle.

3. Short Story of Philosophy of Life 3: Master Hongyi Bows

In the world, being afraid is afraid of being serious. Master Hongyi (Li Shutong) is the most serious, and everything is serious. Zhao Yan, the grandson of Ye Shengtao, wrote in The Old Man that once he was giving a music lesson to a student, a group of students surrounded him to watch him play the piano. A student farted and distracted everyone. After class, Li Shutong said seriously, "It's convenient in the future, please go outside." Say that finish and bow deeply to everyone.

In class, a classmate slammed the door when he went out. He immediately caught up with him, kindly asked him not to do this, and bowed seriously as usual. The students said that Miss Li's bow was stronger than anything else.

A student stole something from a classmate, and Xia Zun, the supervisor, asked for advice. Li said it was because the teacher didn't educate well. The invigilator should apologize to the students first, and then announce that the thief will come forward. If no one comes forward, the teacher will apologize and commit suicide. This gentleman is joking. If he speaks so seriously, the students will definitely stand up. Xia is Li's good friend. Although he agrees with Li, he is worried that the students will not stand up. Li Shutong said seriously: "Then commit suicide, don't lie to the students." After a day of hesitation, I took another approach.

Liu Zhiping, a musical descendant of Li Shutong, has no financial resources to study in Japan. In order to help his disciple and reassure him, Li Shutong wrote a letter to his disciple seriously, detailing his income and expenses, which reassured Liu Zhiping. Li Shutong later became a monk. Before becoming a monk, he prepared a large sum of money for Liu to study until graduation. When the money was confiscated, Li wrote and said, "If I can't borrow this money, I will still work until you graduate."

The life experiences of the above four cases fully show that Li Shutong is "serious in everything" and "the most serious". In this regard, people may have different views on whether he is suspected of "making a mountain out of a molehill" and whether he treats life with awe and rashness. However, its earnest spirit is commendable and very human. The last example is amazing.

4. Life Philosophy Story 4: The Dream of Three Trees

Once upon a time, there were three trees. They all have their own dreams. The first tree wants to be a treasure chest, which contains all the precious things in the world, such as gold, silver and jewelry. The second tree wants to be built into a gorgeous ship, carrying the emperor and dignitaries. The third tree wants to grow into the tallest tree in the world, so that it can be closer to God.

Many years passed and a group of loggers came. The first tree was cut down, and the lumberjack said, "This tree looks very strong. I want to sell it to a carpenter. " This is good news, because carpenters can make treasure boxes. The second tree was cut down, and the woodcutter said, "This tree looks very strong. I want to sell it to the shipyard. " This is good news, because the shipyard will be a big ship.

The third tree was very scared when it saw the woodcutter coming towards it, because as long as the woodcutter cut it down, it meant that its dream was shattered. However, it was cut down, and the woodcutter said, "I haven't decided what to do with it yet." Let's cut it down first. "

Have the dreams of the first tree and the second tree come true? The first tree was made into a manger by a carpenter to hold horse feed. The second tree was made into a fishing boat by the shipyard and used to fish for fishermen. Their ending, like the third tree, is far from their dreams.

However, one day, two people passed by the manger, a couple. The woman gave birth to a boy, who was put in a manger. The first tree suddenly realized that the boy was the couple's most precious treasure in this world.

A few years later, several people climbed onto the fishing boat that was put on hold by the sea. From their conversation, the second tree learned that one of these people was a king who had just been defeated. After rescuing the fishing boat, the king made a comeback and became one of the greatest kings in history. After the local church was built, the third tree was made into a cross. The church is the closest place to God in the world.

Life Comprehension When dreams deviate from our pre-designed path, don't be disheartened, because sometimes dreams will come true in unexpected ways.

5, life philosophy short story 5: Good and evil are only in an instant.

An old monk sat on the side of the road, his eyes closed, his legs crossed, his hands clasped under his skirt, lost in thought. Suddenly, his meditation was interrupted. Interrupted by the samurai's hoarse and pleading voice, "Old man, tell me what heaven is!"! What is hell! "

The old monk didn't respond, as if he had heard nothing. But gradually he opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his mouth. The warriors stood by, anxious as ants on hot bricks. "You want to know the secrets of heaven and hell?" The old monk said, "You are really a rude person, with muddy hands and feet, unkempt hair and dirty beard." The sword is rusty, and you can tell at a glance that it is not well kept. You ugly, your mother dressed you up as a clown, and you came to ask me the secret of heaven and hell? "

The samurai cursed savagely, and then "brushed" his sword on the old monk's head. His face was flushed and the veins stood out on his neck, and he was about to cut off the old monk's head. The sword was about to fall when the old monk suddenly whispered, "This is hell." For an instant, the samurai was amazed and awed, and was full of pity and respect for the old monk who dared to teach him a lesson with his life. His sword stopped in mid-air and his eyes were filled with tears of gratitude. "This is heaven." The old monk said.

Life's perception of good and evil is often between thoughts. All evil thoughts, words and deeds are hell for yourself and others; All good thoughts, good words and good deeds are paradise for yourself and others. If everyone can abandon evil and do good, even hell can become heaven. Therefore, everyone should sit still and think about themselves, always look at their hearts, get rid of evil thoughts in their hearts, and give up words and deeds that hurt people. Let your heart become pure, and you will get real inner peace and tranquility.

(2) Extended reading of life philosophy stories:

The story of life value: don't let yesterday's depression overshadow tomorrow's dream! At a seminar, a famous speaker held a $20 bill in his hand and didn't make an opening speech.

Facing the 200 people in the meeting room, he asked, "Who wants this $20?" Put one hand up. He went on to say, "I want to give this $20 to one of you, but before that, please allow me to do one thing." As he spoke, he crumpled up the money and asked, "Who wants more?" There are people holding hands.

He added, "Well, what if I do this?" He threw the money on the ground, stepped on it and ran it over with his foot. Then he picked up the dirty and wrinkled bill. "Who wants it now?" Someone still raised their hands.

"My friends, you had a very meaningful lesson. No matter how I treat that bill, you still want it, because it hasn't depreciated, and it's still worth 20 dollars. On the road of life, we will be knocked down, bullied or even crushed by our own decisions or adversity countless times. We feel as if we are worthless.

But no matter what happens, or what will happen, you will never lose value in the eyes of God. In his view, dirty or clean, dressed neatly or untidy, you are still priceless. "Tip: The value of life lies not in what we do, nor in what friends we make, but in ourselves! We are unique-never forget this!

(3) the fable of life philosophy

Once upon a time, there lived an old man in the border area adjacent to the Hu people. All passers-by respectfully called him "Sai Weng". Sai Weng is philosophical by nature and treats people differently.

One day, for some unknown reason, Sai Weng's horse got lost while eating grass and never came back. When the neighbors learned the news, they all expressed regret. However, Sai Weng doesn't care. Instead, he comforted everyone: "Losing horses is certainly a bad thing, but who knows if it will bring good results?"

Sure enough, a few months later, the lost old horse ran back from the Great Wall and brought back a good horse rode by the Hu people. So the neighbors got together to congratulate Sai Weng and praised his foresight when he lost his horse. At this time, however, Sai Weng was worried and said, "Alas, who knows if this incident will bring me disaster?"

Sai Weng's family has added a good horse that the Hu people ride, and his son is very happy, so he rides it every day and enjoys it. Finally, one day, my son got carried away, fell off the galloping horse, injured his leg and was disabled for life. After hearing the news, the kind neighbors came to offer their condolences, but Sai Weng still said, "Who knows if there will be a good result?"

Another year passed, and the Hu people invaded the Central Plains on a large scale, and the border situation suddenly became tense. All able-bodied young people were recruited as soldiers, and nine times out of ten they died on the battlefield. Because Sai Weng's son was lame and exempted from military service, his father and son were able to escape the disaster in Where Are You Going?

In the process of being handed down from generation to generation, this story gradually condensed into an idiom: "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise." Explain that good and bad in the world are not absolute. Under certain conditions, bad things can have good results, and good things may also have bad results.
