Be lenient in the eyes and tolerant in the heart.

A disciple often worried about trifles, so the Zen master took him to a tree and asked him, "is the sky big?"

The disciple replied: big.

The Zen master asked: are the leaves big? The disciple replied: not big.

The Zen master asked again: can the sky block people's eyes? The disciple replied: no.

The Zen master continued to ask: can leaves cover people's eyes? the disciple replied: yes.

The Zen master stopped asking questions and looked at the disciple in silence. If the disciple realized something at this time.

In fact, what can block your sight, prevent you from seeing things clearly, and disturb your mind is often a small leaf and a little trouble in your life.

And clinging to such troubles will only make your heart more and more confused and the future more confused, so you might as well be a little more lenient and let go of these.

Wide eyes can accommodate the scenery of the world, and a broad heart can accommodate the affairs of the world.

I saw a scene like this at breakfast.

Although an old woman moved slowly, she sat down with delicate curly hair and fashionable clothes.

As soon as the wonton she ordered came up, she watched her take the chopsticks and randomly dial them in the bowl. Then she slammed the chopsticks on the table and shouted: waiter! Waiter!

The attention of the whole store was attracted by her, and the waiter, a young sister who looked about 20 years old, was startled by the momentum before she spoke.

The old woman saw the waiter coming and shouted, "how many times have you eaten 20 wontons in the bowl?" did you see for yourself that there were 20 wontons in your restaurant?

The little sister probably had never seen such a scene, blushing, but insisted that there could be nothing wrong with having a special caterer in the restaurant.

The two sides quarreled, and in order to prove themselves right, they began to count wontons seriously.

At this time, there were more and more onlookers in the restaurant. Because the little sister was afraid and the old woman was angry, wonton was always scratched away from one side carelessly when counting, and there was no conclusion after counting several times.

The little sister finally fished the wonton out of the bowl one by one and placed them on the table to sort them carefully.

Finally, when I counted the last one, I found that two chaos were stuck together because they were not stirred while cooking, each of which was broken in half. So this can be counted as 19 or 20.

After the farce, the old woman got up tired and proudly and left. The little sister let go of her nervousness because she was right, but what was waiting for her was a reprimand from the hotel manager.

Because of a small amount of wonton, I didn't even have a good time. Is it really worth it?

Many times, relax and there won't be so many things that put you in a bad mood.

Buddha said: bitterness is not bitterness, pleasure is not joy, it is only a momentary obsession. If you hold on to one thought, you will be trapped in one thought. As soon as you put it down, it will be in your heart.

Things change with the heart, circumstances are created by the heart, and troubles are created by the heart. No matter when and where, you should have a heart of ease, keep an open-minded state of mind, and don't let yourself get tired.

When the moon is full, it loses, and when the water is full, it overflows. In life, in the face of loss, we take it calmly and keep calm as water; in the face of what we get, keep a normal heart and cherish it.

Always remember: the eyes are broad and the heart is tolerant.
