I like Zen Buddhism from the bottom of my heart. No matter what happens, holding a Zen book will make my heart feel very peaceful.Zen is more about simplicity.When people pursue formal cumbersomeness, they always show lack of self-confidence.The stories and books I read about Zen are different now than they were two or three years ago.It used to be illusory, but now it seems to have a little understanding.Although Zen says not to be influenced by form, there is no classics and no authority, no worship, no idols and no monasteries, but I used to always want to explain things of understanding rationally, but the more I try to explain rationally, the more far-fetched I am. The more it deviates from the original meaning of Zen.

I usually wake up at 8 am and go to bed after 12 pm.I'm not very interested in sports. I spend more than half of my daily life dealing with work and watching children.When Zhang Xin gave birth, I completely left the company for a month to take care of my wife and children.Giving birth to a child is a very big event for both mother and child. When a new life is born, other things can be slowed down. Only this is too important.How many beings have just emerged, and if they are a little negligent, problems will arise.Babysitting can be exhausting, but engaging with them can also calm you down.This society sometimes keeps you running forward. People have higher official positions than you, do bigger things than you, and earn more money than you, forcing you to keep running forward.Children can make you feel a primitive state of human beings, and make you bring everything around you back to a pure state.Seeing the state of a newborn baby, you can feel how far you have gone astray in your life!I am still a person with strong family values ​​from the bottom of my heart.Growing up in such a family when I was a child, I care more about the boundary between family members and non-family members, and the family, than a person who grew up in the city.The reason why urban people are more progressive and social is that the boundaries between inside and outside members of the family are a little lighter than people like me who come from remote places.I am still a machismo at the bottom of my heart. I have been subtly influenced by it since I was a child, thinking that men have the final say, and I always ask women for their opinions. Where is the masculinity?Later, things started to change. When I went abroad, I saw that no matter how high the official was, the men there would open the door for women, and take good care of women everywhere. If a group of people went out, they must first satisfy women everywhere.I don't think this is a drop in price. This is the consciousness of a civilized society. If you don't understand it, you are an old farmer.So now I am consciously changing myself and accepting civilization.If twenty or thirty years ago, I suddenly found a man always carrying a bag for a woman and walking behind her, I would definitely not accept it.

I used to have the realm of challenge, but I don't seem to like gambling from birth, not even playing mahjong or poker.Friends took me to Las Vegas, I just put $100 in there and went out to sleep, no fun at all.When the modern city was just completed, the employees were anxiously asking if there was any new project, but I was calm: don’t worry, don’t rush for quick success, there is nothing, difficulty and ease are relative. One day, I wrote a few paragraphs to myself: drink less, drink more water and eat less meat, eat more fruits and vegetables and talk less, write more and take less planes and cars, walk and run more and take less medicine, exercise more and watch less Newspapers, magazines and TV, read more history and scriptures and use less mobile phones, write more letters and stay less in the city, live more in the countryside and hold less meetings, sleep more and talk less empty words and stereotypes, tell the truth more and meet new friends less, More visits to old friends and less entertainment, more family reunions, less new clothes and new shoes, more old clothes and shoes, less excitement, more leisure
