The beauty of life is always in a hurry


There are many wonderful things in life, but our hearts are too hasty, too impetuous, and not to taste the good meanings hidden behind life. In fact, as long as you are willing to open the window of the soul and use a calm attitude to appreciate life and feel life, you will find that life is full of excitement and happiness.

Before Sakyamuni had not become a Buddha, he experienced many hardships and learned many truths about life.

One day, Sakyamuni was going to make a long-distance trek. Because he was eager to reach his destination, he ignored the long and arduous journey and only kept on the road. Long distances, Sakyamuni was so breathless that he finally saw where he wanted to go, and he sighed with relief. Just as he was relaxed, he felt that a small stone under his feet was very uncomfortable. The stone is so small that it is so small that it almost ignores its existence.

In fact, shortly after Sakyamuni began to hurry, he clearly felt that the small stone was in his shoes, and he stabbed his sole from time to time, making him feel uncomfortable.

However, Sakyamuni was busy with the road, not wanting to waste time taking off his shoes and taking it out. He simply regarded the pebbles as an experience and ignored it.

Until then, he stopped his eager footsteps and thought: Since the destination is about to arrive, and there are some embers, simply pour out the little stone here and let yourself relax!

Just as Sakyamuni bowed his head and prepared to take off his shoes, his eyes inadvertently aimed at the water and mountains along the road, and found that the scenery along the way was so beautiful.

He immediately realized a truth: He walked in this way, so rushed, his heart and mind even focused on the destination. In fact, the process is also a landscape, just like the practice before becoming a Buddha.

Sakyamuni took off his shoes and took the little stone in his hand. He couldn’t help but sigh and said, "Small stones! I can’t think of it. This way, you are constantly stabbing my feet. It turns out to be a reminder. I will go slower and pay attention to all the good things in life!"

Life is an insatiable landscape. Our life can be very ordinary and very simple, but as long as we carefully study and feel, we can discover that there are many wonderful things behind life.

As Rodin said, “There is no lack of beauty in life, but lack of discovery.” It is our greatest sorrow not to appreciate everyday life. In fact, we don't have to bother looking around for beauty. The United States is everywhere.

Many times we are desperate to chase certain things, and we are not tired of it, but it was not until the end that we found that when we rushed to find the scenery, we lost the most beautiful scenery along the way; when we went all the way to fame and fortune, we missed a lot. People and things.

As Rodin said: "There is no lack of beauty in life, but lack of discovery." Not to appreciate everyday life is our greatest sorrow. In fact, we don't have to bother looking around for beauty. Beauty is everywhere.
