Su Dongpo thought he had taken advantage of it. When he got home, he thought about it carefully and found himself cheated, because Fo Yin said that what you see is what you get.
In the biography of Su Dongpo by Mr. Lin Yutang, it is said that two people go to a temple to play.
Su Dongpo looked at the two heavenly kings at the temple gate and asked Fo Yin which one was stronger. Fo Yin replied: The one with the big fist.
Entering the temple, I saw Guanyin Bodhisattva holding a rosary. Su Shi asked Fo Yin again, why do ordinary people read Buddha and Bodhisattva?
Fo Yin said that Bodhisattva also has troubles, and she also wants to read Buddha.
Su Dongpo asked, which Buddha did he study?
Fo Yin said, I think I miss the Bodhisattva, because it is better to ask for help than to ask for help.
Another story is Su Dongpo's The Blind Don't Know the Sun:
I didn't read the theory of relativity, but I found that this story is a bit like a blind man touching an elephant, and it is also very similar to those successful speeches. For example, as long as you persist, you will succeed after many years. So-and-so has a very good living habit and has been insisting on it. Now he has reached the peak.
This kind of lecture sounds childish, just like a blind man who doesn't know the sun. He thought it was the sun when he heard the gong, and the sun when he touched the candle. A blind man touching an elephant's leg is called a post, and touching an elephant's tail is called a rope. These one-sided misconceptions will be committed by healthy people, and they will also be confused by those specious truths.
Today, I saw the second-hand book market in Alipay and gave 20 yuan a coupon. Pay 10 yuan freight to get a second-hand book. I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find the book I wanted. The market is full of similar books such as best-selling books "Don't choose comfort if you need to work hard" and "You can succeed if you can talk", which really makes people have no desire to read.
Reading these books is really better than reading some interesting novels. Good novels can still make people feel more, but those so-called educational and inspirational books are no different from those syllogisms in the official WeChat account, and they are really unreadable.
