A few thoughts on traveling to Sensoji Temple

A few thoughts on traveling to Sensoji Temple

There are twelve temples in Japan, and Sensoji Temple is the oldest one.

It doesn’t have the luxurious atmosphere of China, it just looks quiet and simple.

I have many awe-inspiring things and many creeds in my heart. But I can't convince myself to believe in a certain god, but I still like scriptures, religious philosophy, and sincerely follow the Tao.

I am willing to admit that I am dishonest to the gods. This is my sincerity. I don't lie.

But I should still be more in awe. Because life should be treated with reverence.

Enter the temple and draw the seventy-fifth lot, an evil lot. Actually, I don't think it's surprising. Not the slightest bit of discomfort or fear.

Just get a result, a reminder, nothing more.

Change it if it exists, and encourage it if it doesn’t. No need to worry, no need to complain. It's enough to do your own thing.

Then I put the coin into the donation box and it fell out. Not only was the candle unlit, the main candle was extinguished. But I was all lighted up again.

I still think it’s okay. It's not that I'm arrogant enough to take it lightly. But I really feel that there is no need to be too persistent. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it reminds me that I need to reflect on something. Regardless of whether there are gods or Buddhas, it is also a good thing to devote yourself to self-examination. Besides, I'm really not very familiar with lighting candles, maybe I'm just clumsy.

Actually, I felt that I needed to polish my character a long time ago. I thought about it seriously for a long time and decided that I would come to a Japanese temple to practice in the future. It was not because of my faith. But I really want to experience that kind of life. I will also practice in Chinese temples.

But that will happen later. In terms of academics and writing, I still have great interests and plans. So this is not something that happened in the past two years. However, my mind has been made up, and I really like this kind of practice.

I am neither smart nor destined, but just for the enlightenment brought by the superficial and unclear insights when I read the scriptures, it is enough.

I have already drawn the lottery. Then it's over. Don't worry. Go away, a new journey begins.

You don’t have to worry about it since it’s already tied. Seeing my relatives and friends anxious and worried, I feel distressed but cannot fully understand it. Because I don’t really have any similar emotions. I really feel neither sad nor happy, even very soothing and peaceful, a bit of a luminous state of mind that I don’t quite understand.

I have always felt that everything is balanced. There is no need to be proud of a good thing. Don't worry about bad things.

Just do it quietly. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, just watch quietly and think of ways to try. It doesn’t matter if the result is not good, it’s also an experience, just try again. Don’t get hung up on your emotions.

I can understand the joys, sorrows and joys of many people, but I often can't understand them. Because I often feel that I can really relax a little, don't be anxious, don't be afraid, just do things actively and wait for the final result indifferently.

"Do your best and wait for destiny." It roughly means that if you do everything you can and do everything you can, the end result will not be your fault, so don't worry about it. Just move on to the next journey.

I don’t know why, I really don’t get angry easily. I am not a weak and evasive person. By escaping from reality and comforting myself, I tell myself that there is no sorrow and hurt, no darkness and pain.

Just like I don’t want to die, but I’m not afraid of death. I feel that facing things head on can make me feel more calm and at ease. When the day comes, it will be like the return of an old friend. There will be no waves, "you are here", that's it.

The same goes for face-to-face signing. I feel that even if you are about to face misfortune or face adversity, you will always be able to survive.

A person who feels that he is unlucky will attribute everything to luck, and will keep complaining and shrinking in fear, which will affect his ability to do things. Then everything becomes a vicious circle. All the things that you should not care about have amplified negative effects in your eyes. How can you be happy like this?

So, I don’t think you need to care too much.

Work hard for the things you like true love. This is "struggle", striving not to lose talent and this mood, striving not to let down time.

However, the process is to let nature take its course. Know your own stupidity, know your duty, adjust your mentality, and do it calmly. This is actively choosing your own lifestyle. It's not a negative approach.

"Don't fight" means you don't have to fight with yourself, be too obsessed, and get stuck in the swamp of emotions. There is no need to compete with others. Every time you fight for an inch, you will lose a foot. It takes a lot of effort and will not please you. It is better to do something interesting. There is no need to fight with the world. The world is gentle and cruel. In the face of death, everyone is equal, so don't lose your life scenery because of anger and jealousy.

Maybe some people think that my back hurts when I stand and talk. But from my perspective, this is how I live.

Work hard for the things you love and never stop.

Let time decide the rest. All I can grasp is the passing of this moment.

Why do you still have the energy and time to care about other things?

“A lonely boat wants to cross the shore, but the waves rush through life. A woman stands on the flowing water and looks at the moon with deep affection.

"

Thanks for the tip. I probably know something. I knew my situation a long time ago. If you pay attention to some things in the future, you will already know the traces. Some things cannot be changed. . It will definitely come. But it doesn’t matter. If you change your mentality, your approach will be different, and then there will be a better possibility.

I cherish myself and everything so much. Life and mood. No matter who is leaving, it is enough to say goodbye and walk down the road, or take a rest.

People are like a lonely boat in the world. Fishing. It doesn't matter in the end. What matters is that you have lived seriously and experienced it.

At the same time, you need to be stronger. You should be kinder to your relatives and friends, and be more gentle with strangers.

There are always ups and downs in life, and there are always rough waves. The strength of the wind and waves. If you are stupid like me, it may be a chance to become a master in the rapids.

I think it is good for a weak woman to be alone in the water and unable to help. Yeah. It means that there are still people who want to help this woman, instead of adding insult to injury. It’s a matter of friendship to help, but it’s a duty not to help. I’ve learned that it’s better to just go with the flow. Take advantage of the pain and write it down. Pain is a helpless and precious treasure.

As for love, I have never been obsessed with it, and I have the ability to live well alone. , I don’t want to have any more children, I don’t ask for anything, I just want to live a good life in the new life, and I’m a young adult now, so I don’t have to be negative and just follow the path I want to take, which is already very rare. It’s a matter of gaining some chips for your future. If you are single in the future, there are many countries you want to visit and things you want to learn. It’s really great. Appreciate the experience. Anything is possible. You can adapt to wherever you go, and you can talk to anyone you meet. I feel like I am like a dandelion, because I have no roots, I can settle down anywhere, and it is neither fragrant nor beautiful. . It is very casual, whether it is flying, falling, living or dry, it is open and clear, it is pure and innocent, it is a quiet carnival, and you can experience the rich joy in your heart, you can never finish it, it is really too joyful. .

I am not an optimist. I always prepare for the worst, make the most meticulous preparations, and be in the most willful state. Nothing will be worse than I think, so nothing will be surprising. I won’t be too depressed. I think I may be a positive pessimist.

It’s not easy to know what you like.

It’s not easy to stick to what you like.

It’s not easy to follow the path you like.

It’s even harder to stick to what you like. It's not easy.

How can you be lucky? How dare you indulge in troubles and worry too much?
