Chapter 42 Saving sentient beings should be like the Pingpo tree, holding up an umbrella of hope for sentient beings (40)

That day, the mages who came back from afar went to climb the mountain.All the way up the mountain, soon, a few dark clouds lingered in the sky, and the rain was coming in a blink of an eye. We quickened our pace, and just behind the bamboo forest, bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky.Just as we were about to get wet from the rain, we hurriedly hid under the tall sycamore tree by the roadside. Several people formed a circle and huddled under the shade of the tree, watching the rainwater flow along the palm of the syringa tree. Big shiny green leaves were dripping and we were dry. This deciduous tree of the Sycamore family is really amazing!

After the heavy rain, the moss is wet and slippery, and the mountain road is even more difficult!When we looked up, we saw mountains and mist slowly drifting out of the valley, passing us from far to near.The sound of the water in the mountain stream was rushing, and the rain also made the mountain more humid. Walking, walking, the raindrops are falling again! "Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest. Why not whine and walk slowly. Bamboo sticks and straw shoes are light than horses, who is afraid? A cloud of mist and rain can be your life." Su Dongpo's "Standing the Storm" is really the best portrayal of this time!

After paying homage to the Buddha at Fobao Temple, I went down the mountain. The mountain rained intermittently, and my body was wet in the slanting wind and drizzle!After walking a long way, I arrived at the only family and borrowed an umbrella. After a while, the downpour was like a galloping army. I hurriedly opened my umbrella and saw the apple tree right in front of me. This time we took an umbrella and hid under the tree. Although the umbrella was small, the apple tree Dense shade is the best big umbrella. When going down the mountain, we looked back at the Pingpo tree gratefully. It was it who helped us at the right time, like a boat that ferryed us from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, and then from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

Can I, like the apple tree, hold up an umbrella of hope for all living beings and extradite them from one shore to the other? In my opinion, "salvation of sentient beings" is to share the Dharma that one understands and experiences with sentient beings. In fact, it is also the presentation of one's own life style.As long as you work hard towards "transforming the dye into a pure state" every day, encourage yourself frequently, open your mind, and share the Dharma with all sentient beings, I hope that all sentient beings can find true peace and happiness.When the karma matures and one's own blessings, virtues, and wisdom gradually increase, one will naturally be able to save others.

After the new rain in the empty mountains, the air is exceptionally fresh.Going down the mountain with light steps, "It's expected that the spring breeze will wake you up, it's slightly cold, and the mountain top is slanting, but you are greeted. Looking back at the bleak place, there is no wind or rain or sunshine when you go back." I keep a chicness of walking against the wind, after all, looking back at the bleak place, there is neither wind nor rain nor sunshine! Everything is an "empty Buddhist event" that unfolds according to causes and conditions, and it is all about working hard at the moment.
