impetuous? depressed? After reading a story, you will suddenly become more cheerful~

There is a young man, his career and his family are in trouble. He is embarrassed, impetuous, and worried. The friend was very anxious to see his frustration, so he told him to go to a Buddhist temple on the nearby hill. You can go to the abbot to learn about the ignorant Zen master. It might help.

In the Zen room, in the face of the kind and detached ignorant Zen master, the young man poured out his own confusion and troubles. The ignorant Zen teacher smiled and extended his right hand and clenched his fist. "You try." The young man did. "Come tighter." "More tight..." So the young man squeezed his fists tighter and his fingers almost broke into the palm of his hand.

“How do you feel?” the Zen teacher asked kindly.

The young man shook his head in vain.

"Put the fist out." The young man opened his palms. The ignorant Zen master picked up a jujube and a piece of glass on the table and put it in the hands of the young man. He said, "Come tight." The young man holds the jujube and the debris. In the palm of your hand. "Come tight." "More tight..." "No, Zen master, my hands are about to be cut." The young man felt the pain in his palm. At this time, the ignorant Zen master suddenly shouted: "Then you don't hurry to release your fist!"

The young man was shocked, his palms open, and he saw some reddish scars on his palms, and the pieces had been tied into the green dates.

The ignorant Zen master looked at the young man and said, "Now, take the debris out and throw it away."

The ignorant Zen master looked at the expression of the young man and smiled and said: "The things in life are like this jujube and glass fragments. If you don't take anything, empty your fists, even if you make great efforts, you will get nothing. This is called futile. The jujube is like all the good things in your life, and the debris is the trouble that bothers you. People will inevitably have troubles when doing things. You hold them too tight, you must hurt yourself, hold The tighter you hurt, the more you will hurt. Remember to take out the debris from the jujube in time to throw it away!"

Looking at the jujube and the debris, listening to the ignorant Zen master, the young man suddenly became cheerful.
