Chapter 34 Understanding the root cause of all living beings is as important as knowing the characteristics of jasmine (32)

I like the fragrance of jasmine very much.When I was a child living in the countryside, every time I went to the bathroom, especially at night, I was always afraid of the dark night and unknown corners.Fortunately, my father planted jasmine flowers on the ground outside the toilet. Every time I go in and out of the toilet, I can always smell a faint but clear fragrance. The faint fragrance coming from the dark place makes me feel at ease. I know the jasmine flowers are there. In early summer, I planted three jasmine trees and surrounded them with a wooden fence. I wanted to find the taste of my childhood! When I brought back the jasmine full of double petals and single petal buds, the long-lost fragrance was all over the place. The night lingers and drifts away, as if returning to my childhood in my hometown, those summer nights accompanied by jasmine.

In a few days, as the fragrance of jasmine gradually faded, my joy also turned into disappointment and doubt: "I am taking care of them so carefully! Is there something wrong?" In addition to the disappearance of the fragrance of the flowers, the flower buds also withered early Now, the pale little flowers fell to the ground silently, what's going on? It turns out that jasmine needs a "big fat, wet, hot" environment. In addition to needing more fertilizer and water, it also needs sunshine!And my window sill does not have enough sunlight for it, because I don't understand the characteristics of jasmine.The disappearance of the fragrance of the flowers and the early withering of the flower buds are telling me that it is longing for sunshine!So I moved the three jasmine trees to a sunny corridor, waiting for the jasmine to bloom and send flowers.

How important it is to know the characteristics of each life!And we often add self-righteous value to the other party, and the result is often counterproductive. Isn't the reason for "wrong love" that you don't understand the "root mechanism" (characteristics) of the other party?! If you can't target their characteristics and use skillful methods, if you have goodwill and enthusiasm, it will only be futile.In addition, it is equally important to know one's own root machine, in order to draw a blueprint and guide oneself.When we understand the root cause of others, we must not limit ourselves, or pre-set others with preconceived prejudices.Everything is impermanent and has the possibility of change. As long as you are willing to go up, be good, purify and improve yourself, you can make your life gradually complete through the accumulated efforts.

Whether the jasmine that moved to the corridor will bloom or not, I am not sure.I have provided suitable causes and conditions for its characteristics of "big fat, great humidity, and great heat". As for when it will bloom, I have to follow the conditions. However, I understand better that the childhood Jasmine has gone far away and will never come back. (This picture is provided by Wu Xiaodan)
