The Greatest Sorrow in Life is the Emptiness of the Soul

Once upon a time, an old monk took a young monk down the mountain to alms. On the way, they met a river and saw a young woman wandering along the river. The water was not deep and there was no ferry. The young woman wanted to wade across, but she did not dare. When the old monk saw it, he stepped forward and said, female donor, let me carry you across the river. After saying that, she took the woman on her back and waded across the river, then put the woman down, and continued on the road with the little monk. The little monk saw it in his eyes, worried in his heart, and muttered along the way, what happened to Master today? He taught us men and women not to get close to each other without getting married. Today we crossed the river with a woman we don’t know. Isn’t this a violation of the rules? The little monk walked all the way, muttering all the way, and couldn't help but tell the master, Master, you broke the precept today, why did you cross the river with a woman on your back...

Not long ago, a friend broke up with her boyfriend who had been in love for 3 years on the eve of their wedding. At that moment, she felt that the sky had fallen. She told me: She no longer knows how to eat or sleep alone. Habit is really a terrible thing.

But when you have survived all the hardships by yourself, you will find that no amount of hardships in the future is nothing. When I look back, those rough valleys that you thought you couldn't o...

Some people are trapped in the sadness of broken love because they are too idle, and they can't extricate themselves for a long time. Some people, because they are too leisurely, think all day, and often worry about trivial things, and make the family go crazy. Immerse yourself in proper busyness, and you will gradually forget about unprovoked worries, gain inner peace, and be free from sadness and worries. Only if you have been busy can you enjoy the joy of leisure, just like you can only understand the sweetness of spring water if you are thirsty. If you only seek leisure in everything, life will be less splendid and more boring. I hope you can cherish the value of life, try to keep yourself busy and live up to every stage of your life.
