Going forward, how far can you go?


Going forward, how far can you go? <br /> There are two masters and apprentices who go to Lingshan from afar. Along the way, while grazing while on the road, day and night, I dare not stop. Because before the trip, they vowed to rush to the Holy Land on the Buddha's birthday. As a monk, the most important thing is to be trustworthy, sincere, and not slang, let alone the vow to the Buddha!
But as he passed through a desert, the young disciple fell ill. At this time, it is very close to the Buddha's birthday, and they are still far away from the road to Lingshan. In order to complete the vow, Master began to support the disciple, and then walked away with his disciples, but in this way, the speed of travel is much slower, and the three days can only finish the original day. On the fifth day, the disciple was already angry and could not do it. He cried and asked the master: "Master, the disciples are very sinful and unable to complete the vows sent to the Buddha, and they are still tired of you. Please go alone. "Don't worry about the disciples, the schedule is tight." Master looked at the disciple with affection, and carried him back to his back. He walked hard and said: "Apprentice, pilgrimage is our vow, and Lingshan is our goal." Since I am already on the road, I am already walking, Lingshan is in my heart, and the Buddha is in front of me. Buddha will never blame the devout people, how far we can go..."
This story is told to me by an old man who is over the ages.

He said that when he was young, he was doing business, fighting for life in the business world, earning some money and earning an industry. In the middle, there are failures and successes, laughter and tears, but no matter how hard you try, you are always far from the expectations of your family and your own desires. Later, an accidental opportunity to read this story of the pilgrimage of the mentor and apprentice, after being greatly moved, repented. He said that in fact everyone is a pilgrim and has his own goals and vows. For various objective and subjective reasons, not everyone can achieve goals and achieve vows, even though everyone's goals and vows are different. In fact, as long as you get on the road and approach the target, you have already arrived, because everyone's Lingshan is different. The key is that you have to get on the road and go forward! How far can you go?
