This sentence moved me very much.
In real life, the word genius is often heard.
But some genius choices are often incomprehensible.
I don't know if you have heard the name Liu Zhiyu. As a world-famous mathematical genius, he could have a bright future, but he finally chose to leave the world of mortals and step into Buddhism.
Young "deity"
In 2004, Liu Zhiyu, who was only sixteen years old, came into everyone's sight with a math paper. The boy's strength is infinite, and his talent in mathematics is world-famous. According to classmates' memories, he has a nickname "Liu Shen".
Because he has been living in the spotlight and has been concerned, he is also under great pressure. In the hardest time, I once suffered from eye diseases.
Liu Zhiyu's extraordinary talent and hard training enabled her to finally win the Olympic champion and win the gold medal. The Olympic Mathematics Competition is very cruel and strict, and all the experts come from all over the country. He won the gold medal and beat all the players. He did it. He found the best answers to all the questions at that time.
With such achievements, many people think that he will become a mathematician in the future. But what people didn't expect was that in the end his choice was to become a monk.
University enlightenment
In 2007, Liu Zhiyu was admitted to Peking University and entered the Department of Mathematics. During college, he used to let high-intensity courses make him insomnia.
Because he doesn't have much collective experience, life is basically spent alone, so it is difficult for him to adapt to college life.
Later, the appearance of a senior sister brought her into contact with Buddhism. Under the guidance of her senior sister, he gradually stepped out of the closed world and began to integrate into the outside world.
At first, he joined the Zen society and learned a lot about Zen in the society, which laid the foundation for his later Buddhism. During his college years, he devoted himself to studying Buddhism and learned a lot of Buddhism that he used all his life.
Originally, I wanted to become a Buddhist in my second year of high school, but considering my academic problems, I decided to become a monk after graduation.
20 10, received a notice from MIT after graduation, but he gave up. He entered Longquan Temple and became a monk.
Many outsiders don't understand and leave famous schools to become monks.
Objectively speaking, what suits you is the best. His study has brought him serious trouble, which will definitely affect his body and mind. He loves Buddhism, and there is nothing wrong with taking the road of learning Buddhism.
Long search
Since childhood, he has always been a good boy in people's eyes, and has been studying for the exam in a proper way. In his mind, his studies have brought him a bad influence, and he looks forward to a broader world development.
For Liu Zhiyu, the road ahead is pure, bright and smooth.
There is nothing wrong with the initial mathematics and the final becoming a monk, just an understanding of life. At the beginning, learning mathematics made him perceive human culture, so it is reasonable to choose mathematics as a starting point to become a monk.
This choice is a sublimation for him. With the change of time, his cognition is more and more, not just limited to mathematics.
From beginning to end, he pursued the spiritual world more. Mathematics can help him open the door to wisdom, and Buddhism can open the door to heart, which is a great gain.
In fact, his trade-off spirit is still worth learning. In normal life, we should also strive to pursue our inner world and not leave regrets for ourselves.
