There is a temple at the foot of Nanshan，and an
ancient banyan is in front of it.
One morning,a young monk gets up to
clean up the courtyard and sees the fallen leaves from the ancient banyan are
everywhere,he can't help worrying and look at the tree to sigh.
For his
sorrow is on the toppest,he throws down the broom and rushes to his master's
room ,then he knocks on the door to plea for interview.
His master hears
it and opens the door,when he sees the disciple's worried look,he thinks
something takes place,so he hurries to ask him:" My disciple, what does you
worry about so much in the early morning? "
The young disciple is full of doubt and tells him:"Master, you
persuades us to be diligent to cultivate our moral character and grasp the truth
day and night,but, even I learn them well ,it is hard to avoid to die.Till that
time,so-called me, so-called Dao, aren't they just like the defoliation in
autumn or the deadwood in winter? and they will be buried by a heap of
loess?"
After hearing it ,the old monk points at the ancient banyan and
says to the young monk:" My disciple ,you don't need to worry about this.In
fact, the defoliation in autumn and the deadwood in winter will climb back to
the trees silently and become the flowers in spring and grow up into the leaves
in summer at the time of autumnal winds is blowing strongliest and the snow
falls down most heavily."
"Why don't I see it?"
"It is the
reason that there isn't any view in your heart, so you can't see the bloom
."
Facing the withering defoliations and imaging they will be in bud,it
needs to have an immortal of spring heart, an optimism of heart.
There
are always some miseries you will meet in your whole
life and strike you when
you are unprepared, but we don't need to worry day after day for the arrival of
this day, and feel sorry to yourself.
Treating the life with the attitude
of the optimism, it can not only dissolve the agony and misfortune , but also
bring a kind of pleased mood to you everyday and make your
life bright and
flourishing .
As long as the view is in the heart,aren't the paths full
of fragrance of flowers everywhere?
