Chapter 120 a humble cockroach

On this day, I ate a meal of vegetables and tofu in the temple, which was very indifferent.A fellow friend said: "Can't you taste the delicacy in the indifferent?" I just feel indifferent, not delicious.When drinking tofu soup, I imagine how much better the taste would be if I put a crab in the pot.When eating green vegetables, I would think again, if I can have a steamed fresh fish, the meal will be very rich. Indifference is a kind of state. I have not yet reached that state. My friend said that he wanted to participate in a ten-day retreat.As for me, I have always wanted to become a monk for seven days.But I heard people say that this kind of seven-day monk activity is no longer held.

We run camps and labor every day, which is unbearably vulgar.Once I calm down, I always hope that I can try a humble life.Being indifferent seems to be a kind of awareness and self-cultivation. What is indifferent? It may not be as simple as a vegetarian meal, nor is it chanting Buddhist scriptures in a monastery.Indifferent is a kind of mind.Some people are born indifferent, and some people have to taste all the luxury to appreciate the tranquility. However, when we are still ups and downs in love, and still suffering from missing others, we are still far, far away from indifference.To be loved by you, I don't want to be indifferent.What I want is tranquility.

When I was eating the last dish, I saw a thin cockroach crawling on the ground, so I pointed to the cockroach that lived in the monastery and said to you, "This is a humble cockroach."
