A famous Zen master is about to die soon, and his disciples sit around him, waiting for Master to tell them the mysteries of life and the universe.
The Zen master has been silent and closed his eyes. Suddenly he asked the disciple: "How can we get rid of the weeds?" The disciples were stunned and did not expect the Zen master to ask such a simple question.
A disciple said: "Shovel all the weeds with a shovel!" The Zen master nodded after listening to the slight smile.
Another disciple said: "You can burn the grass with a fire!" The Zen master still smiles.
The third disciple said, "Put the lime on the grass and get rid of the weeds!" The face of the Zen master was still smiling.
The fourth disciple said: "Their methods are not good. If you don't remove the roots, you must remove the roots and dig the grass roots."
After the disciples finished speaking, the Zen master said: "You are very good at speaking. From tomorrow, you will divide this grass into several pieces and remove the weeds on the ground according to your own method. At this time next year, we will come to this place again. !"
At this time of the second year, the disciples came here early. They used all kinds of methods to eliminate the weeds. They had already given up the task. Now it is just to see what the Zen master used.
The original weedy land of the Zen master has disappeared, replaced by golden crops. The disciples suddenly realized that it is the best way to remove weeds only by planting crops in the weeds.
They sat down around the crops, the crops had matured, but the Zen master had passed away. This is the last lesson that the Zen master took for them, and the disciples all shed tears of gratitude.
Yes, there is only one way to get rid of the weeds in the wilderness, and that is to plant crops. The only way to think that the soul is not ridiculous is to cultivate your own virtues.
The sentiment of the story:
There are many ways to get rid of bad habits, but the best way is to develop good habits. Instead of taking the time to correct bad habits, it is better to cultivate good habits.
Habit is the slave of all great people and the accomplice of all losers. The greatness of the great man is due to the help of the habit; the failure of the loser, the habit is equally unshirkable. There is a well-known theory called the barrel law, which may explain to us from a certain angle what the bad habits mean for human development. According to the law of wooden barrels, the amount of water in a wooden barrel depends on the shortest wooden board and not on the longest wooden board. The same is true of human development. People's failures are often caused by some bad habits of their own. The power of habit is enormous. 90% of a person's daily activities are constantly repeating the original movements, turning into a stylized inertia in the subconscious. These behaviors are automatic actions that do not require thinking. The power of this automatic action is the power of habit.
We have listened to many philosophies and stories of predecessors, perhaps touching you, perhaps making you feel, but if you are only moved or just sentimental, and then leave them behind, it has no effect.
Only by turning your sentiment into action and keeping your actions into a habit can your life change!
