Chapter 1842: True Self Six
What kind of novel is easier for readers to be happy, on the one hand, it has a lot to do with the authenticity of the novel world described by the author and the sense of substitution. On the other hand, it actually depends on the degree of fit between the readers and the protagonist of the novel...
The more the protagonist and personality are in line with the readers, the higher the readers' recognition of the novel...
In the subconscious, people always have the same person they want to be...
Many people will think about what kind of person they will become if they have money and what attitude they will live with. Almost everyone will have such a template for what will happen after they succeed...
And if the protagonist of the novel and the template in the hearts of readers are in harmony with each other, it will easily bring strong resonance to readers...
In fact, the so-called soulmate, in essence, actually happens to have the same understanding of music...
The so-called soulmate actually has nothing to do with the quality of the music itself. It’s just that both parties have the same understanding of music, that’s all!
Similarly, the confidant in life is actually the same...
It does not mean that both of them must be good people or bad people. The so-called confidants are essentially people with many things, people with the same or even exactly the same perception. Such people often communicate with each other very harmoniously, and it is easy to feel like they are right at first sight...
Just like a businessman doing business, northerners are more generous in doing business, while southerners are more smart in doing business. Let generous people and smart people do business together, and they always don’t like each other. On the contrary, if a businessman with a consistent personality does business, they will often feel at ease with each other...
Of course, it is often difficult for a person's potential original intention to define it simply through behavior. Sometimes, even if a person feels that he has determined something, after a period of time, he may feel bored and slack. In the final analysis, he actually thinks that he has found the right path, but in fact he is still walking on the wrong path...
It is difficult for ordinary people to find their own path in their daily lives...
Even the rich and wealthy people often need to go through a long, long period of time before they can gradually understand what they really want. In this process, they will develop many hobbies that they originally thought they would like very much, but in fact they are only popular for three minutes in the end...
Just like human feelings...
When you are in love, you will be vowed to death, but when you really break up, you will find that you don’t seem to love each other as you imagined...
From this we can also see that most people do not really understand their preferences so much...
The reason why fairy tales are beautiful is that this type of story often has no ending. Because there is no ending, people always make up for a beautiful ending for the story. But in reality, love is essentially like a fairy tale, but how many people can really accompany each other forever?
Most people often don’t know themselves as much as they imagined…
In fact, finding your true self is a relatively long process in itself...
That's why there is the so-called concept of cultivation...
Cultivating truth, essentially, is a process of pursuing the true self...
This process is often far longer and more rugged than imagined...
And in this process, the most efficient way is to close one's own reason to the greatest extent and perceive the most real emotions in one's body...
In fact, whether it is the meditation practice of Easterners or the Westerners’ meditation practice methods, in essence, they are actually the same concept...
That is to let go of your own thoughts, your emotions, and let yourself be completely in an ethereal state...
Don't think, don't have any thoughts...
Through this persistent practice, the true self will slowly emerge and produce the so-called great wisdom of Buddhism...
Many monks are old, but they can still maintain a state of clever ears and eyes. They learn quickly and can quickly adapt to the trend of society. After all, it is because of the wisdom they have produced through cultivation of immortality...
The more a Buddhist practitioner is in line with the Buddhist philosophy, the faster the progress of his practice will be. It can be said that he can understand all kinds of knowledge, learn from one example and learn from one example and know ten things every day and a thousand miles a day...
Just like the Tang monk in Journey to the West, he is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, and he has a very high degree of conformity with the Buddhist philosophy. Therefore, when practicing Buddhism, he can naturally become a monk that everyone admires. He can open the preaching and educate the world at a young age...
On the contrary, some old monks may still have a hot temper and cannot quit greed, anger, ignorance and hatred. After all, it is a problem that the original heart is not in line with enough...
When I read a novel, I saw such a feeling...
It is said that a good person needs to go through various hardships to succeed in the end...
However, if a bad person wants to become a Buddha, it is often very, very simple. He just needs to put down his butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately...
In a sense, is this contrast very unreasonable? Why is it so easy for bad people to become Buddhas, but it is extremely difficult for good people to become Buddhas?
In a sense, such feelings make sense...
But in fact, it is much easier for good people to become Buddhas than bad people, because no matter how many hardships a good person has experienced, they are always kind in their hearts. Their hearts and Buddhism are actually very close. It is because their minds and Buddhism are too high. Therefore, for them, as long as they walk the path under their feet, they can naturally become Buddhas. Just like Tang Monk in Journey to the West, they make trouble all the way and do nothing serious. When they arrive in front of the Tathagata of the West, they will become Buddhas smoothly. The so-called ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties are actually not Tang Monk’s own disaster, but they only test his three disciples and a horse...
Even so, when we arrived in the Western Paradise, the four-person group who had experienced so many disasters were the only monkeys who suffered the most and Tang Monk who had almost no achievements. Whether it was Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie, or White Dragon Horse, they all ended up just getting the fruit position like the Arhat Envoy Bodhisattva...
On the contrary, although theoretically, a wicked person can become a Buddha by just putting down the butcher knife in his hand, in fact, the butcher knife is not something that is so easy to put down. Once it is picked up, it will become extremely difficult to put down!
This actually stems from the evil thoughts of a person and the rejection of Buddhism. This rejection is almost impossible to be resolved. Although putting down the butcher knife is just a simple action, it is a more difficult thing for a person with great evil in the true sense than climbing to heaven!
The merit of being able to change great evil and become great good is naturally much higher than that of making good people more kind!
Whether it is good in the pure sense or evil in the pure sense, it all comes from the thoughts in the human heart...
In fact, among many things, there are so-called retreat practice scenes...
During the process of retreat, a cultivator is basically in a state of ignoring everything outside the world...
In fact, after all, the so-called retreat of the cultivator is essentially a state of closed thoughts and rationality for a long time. By completely emptying one's own thinking, one can better understand one's original heart and better understand one's own strength...
The stronger the cultivator is, the longer they can keep themselves in a state of completely closed thinking, the stronger the cultivator is, the more they need to improve their strength in this way, and the more efficient they will be in doing this...
In a sense, in the illusion realm like Wang Yu, he can freely let his soul escape from his body and wander in the void. In a sense, he is almost the same as a cultivator who has mastered the ability of the soul to leave his body among cultivators...
In fact, Wang Yu's thinking seal on You Yue is actually generally equivalent to allowing You Yue to gain a higher level of experience in practicing cultivation in advance...
If you are a player who has played online games, you should be very clear about this...
The same experience bar, the experience bar of high-level game characters, and the same percentage represent a gap of dozens or even hundreds or thousands of times!
If you give a low-level game character one percent of the experience value, it may be enough to improve the low-level character by several levels!
This is also why it is very difficult to improve the game level in the early stages of the game. However, when the player level in the game is high enough, a new player may only take half or even shorter to reach the average level of old players. The reason is nothing more than that because old players can take new players to fight monsters with high levels, so that new players can quickly improve their level...
Just like when educating children, letting them contact society independently earlier is also of extraordinary significance for children to integrate into society after they become adults...
Let children have a relatively independent economy earlier, let children participate in holiday work earlier, and let children get in touch with the lifestyle of adults in society earlier, which can often allow children to better integrate into society after graduating from college...
By the same token, in the world of awakened people, if the low-level awakened people understand the combat and practice methods of high-level awakened people earlier, then the growth of low-level awakened people will naturally have extraordinary efficiency...
And this is why those awakened organizations with strong people are always easier to cultivate new strong people...
Of course, in most cases, an awakened person can at most understand the fighting and cultivation methods of higher-level awakened persons in advance, but if you want to experience this method in advance, it is often almost impossible...
It is true that higher-level practice methods and more intense battles can allow an awakened person to grow faster, but this growth itself has a prerequisite, that is, the awakened person must have sufficient strength, otherwise, it will produce the effect of being weak and uncompensated...
Just like everyone knows that ginseng is a tonic for great tonic, but if a person is really weak to a certain extent, then ginseng is not a tonic but a poison. People who are too weak cannot bear the tonic...
The same is true in the world of the awakened person. High-level practice methods also require the awakened person to have sufficient basic strength as the premise. If sufficient strength is lacking as the basis, then a more efficient practice method will only become a suicide act that is overestimated...
