I can heal myself. 31. The purpose of life

Humanity’s efforts to find answers to the questions of where I came from, where I will go, and what I exist for can be seen in literature, thought, religion, and philosophy.

Jesus clearly revealed the reason for his existence, saying, “I was healed only to testify to the truth, and that is why I came into the world.” He also said, “If you love one another, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

This is the realization of the truth (I am not a selfish being by nature, but a being that transcends time and space, capable of embracing the universe), and gradually reducing selfishness to attain Buddhahood or nirvana. ), it is no different from the Buddhist idea of going to the other side.

After looking at one’s own nature (the true self that has completely shed the ego), one practices benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, and wisdom, and governs one’s family and country (修身齊家治国平天下). , It is completely consistent with the Confucian philosophy of ultimately reaching the highest goodness.

“Look at the birds in the air. They neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than birds? “Who among you, by worrying, can add a single moment to his life?”

The reason I am greedy, angry, or obsessed with worldly affairs is mostly due to my selfishness. If you look around, you will see that an unknown blade of grass, a fly, a rabbit in the backyard, and a goose in the sky are simply complying with the laws of nature, maintaining an optimal symbiotic relationship, and leading repetitive lives.

Rather than treating others based on our own interests, let us always consider the other person’s position first and try to practice benevolence, righteousness, righteousness, and wisdom. As far as I know, this is the best mind training method and health management method. We are here to live and love each other, and through this we can realize the truth and become perfect people. Life is about getting rid of your wrong thoughts and actions day by day, and isn’t it about simply living to eat better, wear better clothes, and live in a nice house?
