Wang Yangming said that it is easy to be a thief in a broken mountain, but it is difficult to be a thief in a broken heart.
A general, if he wants to break the evil thief in the mountain, it is actually not a difficult task. The most difficult thing to do is to break the "evil thief" in the heart.
The former is real, while the latter is virtual. The more visible things are, the better they are grasped. And the more invisible things are, the more they will make us entangled.
"Being" and "not being" are often the main parts of life. However, the vast majority of people can only see "being" and cannot understand "nothing".
Zhuangzi once said: "Everyone knows the useful use, but the unknown useless use is also." ”
We all know that things that are "useful" can be used, and we don't know what is wonderful about things that are "useless". This is the root cause of life's misfortune.
Returning to Wang Yangming's "Thief in the Heart", this is the actual summary of "nothingness", which is the thief of desire, the thief of anxiety, and the thief of hesitation. We can't see these "three thieves," but they really affect our lives.
It can be said that everything in the world belongs to the "heart" Only by cultivating with the "heart" can we harvest the realm of "being" and "nothing" and realize the leap of life.

When a person lives for a lifetime, he can only cultivate the "heart" and break the anxiety.
In your opinion, what is destroying the happiness of modern people? It is the anxious "heart".
Anxious, everything is over. With a broad heart, all things are born. Whether you are anxious or not depends on your own state of mind, not on what happens to you.
When you go out, you actually encounter a continuous drizzle, and you keep complaining that it hinders your travel plans. Then as a result, you can only complain more and suffer more.
On the contrary, you regard the encounter with continuous drizzle as a small romance of life, then the more you look at this rain, the more you feel that the world is worth it, and the heavens are beautiful. This is your mentality, the beautifying effect on life.
A Zen master once said that the demons that hinder you are not by your side, but only in your heart.
Modern people always complain that life is not happy enough, the days are not happy enough, this is because they magnify the flawed side of life, and do not expose themselves to the sunny side.
The essence of anxiety lies in the mind. To repair the heart is to break the anxiety in time and exchange it for a sunny day of the self.

Spiegel keeps the "heart" and reduces desire.
There is a boss from the countryside, he has long completed the goal of changing his destiny, has a car and a house in Guangzhou, and has tens of millions of assets, which makes people particularly envious.
However, the boss did not live happily. In his view, his peers around him all have hundreds of millions of assets, and they still have tens of millions of assets, which is simply a failure.
So, he suffered from depression and now has to recuperate at home, and even the factory has stopped.
Many people do not understand, this boss is so rich, why does he feel that life is not happy? In a word, blind greed and desire devoured his happy heart.
Human desire, like an endless black hole, cannot be stopped as long as it is opened. In the midst of constant expansion, desire will make our happiness a bubble and let misfortune come to us.
If we have a choice, then it is better for us to be a "contented" person. At least, our contentment is like a cup of tea, although it does not have the stimulation of spirits, but it is more sweet and more fragrant.

The "heart" is like thunder, ignoring success or failure.
Man, seek the bodhisattva heart and the Vajrapani heart.
When encountering good intentions, we should have the heart of a bodhisattva, be more compassionate, and complain less. When encountering something that needs to be decided on the spot, it is necessary to have the wrist of King Kong, more decisive, less hesitant.
The third thief that Wang Yangming said "hesitated" and could only be cracked with the "Wrist of King Kong".
When you go down to order, you are always hesitant and don't know what to order. The result is that you have internal friction and are constantly at war with each other. The last ordered food was always not good.
When you choose a job, you are always hesitant and do not know which company to choose is better. As a result, nine out of ten choices are wrong.
The more hesitant you are, the more you will encounter mistakes. Only by responding to hesitation with "fruit determination" and pushing ourselves in a difficult situation can we take the first step and have the victory of "one son falling" and "full of life".
So it's your heart that destroys your life. But what puts your life on the right track is your heart. Whatever the heart is, the mind is like, and the future is the same. That's all.
