There comes a time in everyone's life when God gives you an opportunity to realize your potential. Faced with an open door, all you need is a brave heart to carry yourself through the door, take the opportunity and persevere. The moment of choice is never easy, nor should it ever be. When those who have lived through it look back, there is a common understanding that the true test of this moment was bravery. The rest was just doing it. -- Jaime Buckley It doesn't matter if you're worn out or energized, worn out or energized, discouraged or energized, when we're able to get back to life again, it's your daily practice that ultimately counts. Therefore, before discussing the specific practice, I would like to lay a foundation from a spiritual point of view, so that we can realize why we practice. Although our life is limited, but each life is born with the gift is inexhaustible. Our task is endless, and the exploration of all unknown curiosity will never rest. Although the suffering in life is as far as the eye can see, so are the opportunities to love with it. In fact, life is a never-ending practice, through which we grow and eventually achieve our innate brilliance. You just need to go step by step, face it person by person, and experience it heart by heart... In life, when we quietly open our hearts for each moment, we will also open a path into our heart for ourselves, just like the rain in the soil into a trickle, even the smallest flower can be nourished by it. We need to create a ditch where we can water ourselves.
Sometimes such channels form naturally as we experience life; Sometimes, our relatives or strangers help us to do it; But most of the time, it's up to us to dig, but often this is the only time we can really open up for our lives to reach our inner inner path, and this path, is the only way that life can blossom and bear fruit in our inner heart. No matter how hard we try, practice is never started to reach the end goal, but to immerse ourselves in life, to become life itself. If we achieve excellence as a result, it is only a by-product of total immersion in life, and the reward for practicing is the realization of a thorough existence. In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was a cruel man who was cunning and ruthless. As king of Corinth, in order to amass more money and make everyone afraid of him, he killed passers-by and took their money. He even betrayed Zeus, who sent him to the place of Thanatos, the god of death, and chained him to the dungeon of Hell. But Sisyphus is still fighting death Xanatos battle of wits and courage, in the end, the anti-Thanatos trapped in the dungeon. With death trapped, no one would die in the world, the old and the weak would have to endure endless suffering, and the sacrificial victims could not be killed. Seeing this, Zeus and the others did their best to subdue Sisyphus and make him wish he were dead. As a result, Sisyphus had to restore natural order in order to put an end to his suffering. As punishment, Sisyphus had to push a boulder up the hill every day, and every time the boulder was about to reach the top, it would roll down the hill, and Sisyphus would have to start all over again, day after day. This myth has since become a symbol of how meaningless a process it is to live without emotion and dignity. The story of Sisyphus tells us that greed and cruelty for a long time will lead to the breaking of the rules of nature, and that reckless cunning will make life itself pale and boring and worse than death. If we achieve excellence as a result, it is only a by-product of total immersion in life, and the reward of practice is the realization of a thorough existence. The existentialist philosopher Albert Camus wrote his most important work, "The Myth of Sisyphus," in 1942, when Europe was in the shadow of the Nazis. Camus uses the fate of Sisyphus to allude to the absurd and meaningless life at that time, but he can still find meaning in the struggle of life. The last sentence of his book states: "The struggle itself... Enough to fill our hearts. We have to imagine Sisyphus to be full and happy." If we were to recreate the myth as Camus did, we might imagine a very different fate for Sisyphus. We can imagine him as any kind of person, such as a man who is fully committed to self-actualization. Imagine a king Sisyphus enthusiastically welcoming arrivals, offering shelter to passers-by and encouraging them to pursue their dreams. We can also imagine that he was so respected that Tanatos, the God of death, came to ask, "How can I break through the iron chains of my life and achieve immortality?" We can also imagine him as a loving old man, diving into hell like a diver into the water, and accompanying Tanatos like a Bodhisattva in the stifling darkness until death himself can come to life again. We can also imagine that Zeus and the other gods were so moved by his act of love that they granted him eternal life. But Sisyphus bowed humbly and said, "I can't imagine the purpose of living so long if I can't give to others!" This sentence is straight to the immortal hearts of the gods, let once jealous of them melt. In return, the gods gave Sisyphus the simple task of pushing the orb of Light to the top of the mountain. Every time the orb advanced to the top, it would spread the seeds of compassion and generosity to the whole world. To ensure the operation continues, the orb of Light will return to the bottom of the mountain, so that the immortal Sisyphus will continue to spread light across the world with every step of his efforts. No matter which version of the story of Sisyphus you believe, you're just opening a human storybook. We don't have to deal with or deny the cruel and cunning Sisyphus' suffering fate in order to complete the story, because we ourselves live every day at the crossroads of choosing to be a "cruel king" or a "kind servant" and have to make hard choices every day. All our lives here on Earth, we carry heavy burdens and follow the light. When the pursuit of bright goals becomes a heavy burden, we feel like we are wrapped up in the weight of life. But for a moment when we turn the heavy into the light that guides us, life presents us with a picture of infinite surprise. How do you do this transformation? And what can make us go from a stone pusher to a follower of light? When we are in one state -- or in despair or in high spirits -- how can we remember the existence of another state? The pressures of life force us to bear the task at hand with the "love" of the bright future. But the deep practice of life is to learn how to "love" the task at hand while moving toward the light. This shift in mindset will change everything. When we love the task at hand, we no longer just climb the mountain alone, but begin to plant the seeds. When we were slaves pushing boulders, everything became meaningless in the endless, tedious repetition of going up and down, from the end to the beginning again. At this point, the passage of time becomes a dull and boring exercise: picking up the load, crossing off a few tasks on the to-do list, and writing new ones. But when we treat the present with love, we go with the light all the way, like a diligent farmer, sowing the hope of light and love in every field that he passes. In this way, the only way to turn the heavy into the light is if you love the task of the moment, but it is very difficult to stick to it. So, how can we not simply "endure" hardships, but achieve the "heavy to light" of the reverse, so as to completely transform ourselves? This twist also means moving from the secular to the spiritual, from pain to peace. This is a skill that no one can master, but we have to keep working on it. There is no end to practice, which means that we should continue to turn the heavy into the light, although no one can tell us how. The deep practice of life is to learn how to "love" the present task and move forward towards the light. This mindset will change everything. Now that we all face a choice -- cruelty or kindness, finesse or sincerity, wealth or generosity -- here are six practices to try. If you can internalize these practices into your own experience, it will help you create miracles. If you are also able to listen deeply, these practices will help you continue your transformation from stone pusher to light messenger.
