One Method a Day | Using the Body to Experience Human Relationships in the World
The Wonders of the Body
Everyone has a body; some people's bodies are like the walking dead, while others are full of vitality. Let's enumerate the wonders of the body:
I. Use your eyes to view the truth of the world.Small eyes can see the vast world; wise and experienced people can see through the good and evil, beauty and ugliness of the world.
II. Use your ears to listen to beautiful sounds.A kind word can open our hearts and minds; a beautiful song can make us completely immersed. By listening attentively, we can understand many things in the world and appreciate human relationships. Thank you for letting us know the joys and sorrows of the human world and hear the mysteries of the human world.
III. Use your eyebrows to solemnize empty places.Generally, people consider eyebrows the least useful part of the body, but if you shave off your eyebrows, what will you look like? So, the useless eyebrows, when placed between the brows, they can make our appearance dignified and pleasing to others, which is a great use.
IV. Use wonderful language to praise the public.Everyone likes to hear kind praise; encouragement in a good word, praise in a good word, like summer dew, like winter sunshine, so we should use language to praise others.
V. Use a sincere smile to beautify life.The most beautiful things in the world are not color or painting; the most beautiful things are sincere smiles. Even the Buddha used '' (Nian Hua Xiao Wei – pointing at a flower to convey enlightenment) to convey his teachings, indicating that this is the teaching outside the scriptures, so smiles can solve many unsolvable problems in the world.
VI. Use your hands to do good deeds in the world.'Hands are omnipotent'; indeed, people can achieve great things with their hands, establishing a territory. For example, doctors use their hands to give injections and apply medicine to patients, and workers use their hands to create ingenious items. If humans don't use their hands to do good things, they're wasting their hands.
VII. Use your feet to walk out your own prospects.Everyone has their own world, and everyone has their own territory. Where is our territory and world? It's under our feet. As long as we walk steadily and in accordance with the rules, step by step, we can naturally walk out our own prospects.
VIII. Use your shoulders to take on social responsibility.Social responsibility includes the country, family, and self. People living in this world are not supported by others, but they must fulfill their responsibilities as citizens for the country, so we should use our shoulders to take on social responsibility.
IX. Use your face to express joy and happiness.A person wants to share their joy with others, but shouldn't spread sadness and sorrow. The best way is to maintain a cheerful and happy expression. In the family, use humor to bring joy to family members; when interacting with friends, express happiness and spread joy. In the long run, our own reputation and career will be different.
X. Use a broad mind to tolerate everything.The size of a person's business is determined by their broad-mindedness. If you can tolerate one person, that person is yours; if you tolerate a group, the group is yours; if you tolerate a country, the country is yours; if you tolerate the world, the world is yours. So, the size of our broad-mindedness determines the size of our world.
XI. Use your nose and tongue to experience the delights of the human world.The nose explores fragrance and odor, the tongue tastes sweet and salty, the combination of nose and tongue and human delights can best touch the essence of human relationships. In fact, the essence of human delights is human relationships, which can make human relationships more refined and profound.
XII. Use strength to fulfill great vows and create a pure landIn Buddhism, Amitabha Buddha's forty-eight great vows create the 'Pure Land of Bliss'; the Medicine Buddha's twelve great vows achieve the 'Lurling World'. If we can strongly fulfill great vows, why can't we create 'Human Pure Land'?
'A person with determination will eventually achieve something'; Human Pure Land awaits development by the public.
