“Is appearance born from the heart really reliable?See what the master said

Buddha answered

The weather is like this, which can tell the changes in the wind and clouds.The land has geography, which shows the mountains and rivers.So what about people?Everyone has faces.Can you see any clues based on this?

The ancients said, "People's hearts are different, and each has their own faces." Buddhism says, "Expectations are born from the heart." So can a person's nature really be reflected in appearance? Let's see what Master Jixiang, the abbot of Yunju Temple in Xiwutai, Xi'an, said.

All appearances are false, and all appearances are just appearances and do not represent time.All our ordinary people's words arise because of appearance, because external appearance affects our inner tranquility.Therefore, this aspect is still very disturbed and can still affect us.But first we must have a correct understanding of the aspect of "phase".

“", all the various appearances, ups and downs that our eyes see are the appearances that affect our psychology.What I like to see and what I want, let such a "appearance" exist, and I resist what I don't like, and I refuse. This is also influenced by our own inner "heart".

In addition, appearance is born from the mind.This person has kind eyes, and that person looks fierce and evil. I think the question you asked must be the "appearance" in this regard.But I think whether it is kind-hearted or evil, if you can learn to find out your inner mind, all external appearances will not affect you, and naturally it will not cause you troubles.

The mind is pure and the appearance is pure and quiet.A person is very peaceful and compassionate all day long, because he is calm and does not get angry when he encounters anything. He is immersed in the peace and wisdom of Buddhism all day long, and then experiences the eternal value of life, experiences impermanence, and awakens the ultimate value and meaning of life, and will see the truth clearly and not easily allow external appearances to affect oneself.

On the other hand, his (her) appearance will gradually become very compassionate and kind because of the inner peace, peace and kindness. Even if he (she) is not beautiful, his (her) every move will bring you good feelings, that kindness, and that feeling of dependence like a mother, like a mother, without malice.Such a person has such a mentality, and his (her) appearance is generally caused by mutual generation.

There is a saying that in the first thirty years, your appearance was given by your mother. No matter whether you look good or ugly, it is the cause and effect of your previous life. It is the mother who gave you a birth to you and you grow up like this.After your thirties in your second half of your life, whether your appearance is kind or not, beautiful or not, it depends on your cultivation in the past few decades and your own accumulated appearance, presenting the appearance of your life in the second half of your life.

Of course, generally speaking, we should start from the most basic, be compassionate, cultivate our own softness, be grateful, grow our own strength, be wise, constantly develop our inner qualities of tranquility, peace, harmony, gratitude and contentment, make ourselves constantly stronger, let ourselves constantly generate wisdom, do not worry about past troubles, do not pester other people's faults, and do not live in all troubles.So I gradually got rid of trouble, and I lived in tranquility, peace, and gratitude, and constantly lived in the wisdom of Buddhism and the rising environment.
