? Everything in the world depends on your own life and spiritual perspective, just as you can see sharp thorns on flowers, I can also see flowers full of sunshine on thorns. Such is Lin Qingxuan's prose, which is good at capturing the details of life to discover beauty, simple and fresh, as elegant as yellow dandelions in colorful spring. Readers can get some gentle comfort and some wisdom inspiration from it.
? A sentimental heart
In the early jujube garden, the smell of eel bones, thorn flowers, excessive fire, the water will clear up one day, today's fallen leaves, broth after a long journey ... There are many childhood stories in the prose collection. Lin Qingxuan's family is poor, but fortunately, he has a pair of hardworking and simple parents who are good at expressing love. Even a poor life shows a happy face because of this expression.
When Lin Qingxuan was a child, his family was poor, so his mother asked for eel bones from the eel stand, cooked soup and fried them, and tried every means to make the children look ruddy (the taste of eel bones). Dad went to Fengshan in the distance to do business and had a delicious meat soup at noon. At that time, there were no plastic bags, so he bought a new pot, tied a straw rope, put a pot of broth between his legs, and bumped all the way home by bus. The soup overflowed, and the outside of the pot and the straw rope were covered with soup. Dad's pants are wet, too, and there is only half a basin left at home. The scene of a family eating delicious broth around the kitchen will not be forgotten for decades. That delicious food is seasoned with love (the meat soup of the journey)! In Today's Fallen Leaves, the father stipulated that the children should clean up the fallen leaves in the forest before going to school. When the children were complaining, their father taught them a method: shake the tree before sweeping the floor, shake down the leaves tomorrow and sweep it once every two days. The children shake the tree hard, but no matter how they shake the tree, the leaves will not fall today, and they will sweep the leaves the next day. It turns out that dad is letting the children understand that there are no "leaves of tomorrow" to sweep in the Woods, and the fallen leaves in the Woods should be swept clean today. When children grow up, they realize that they will have their own leaves tomorrow, so don't worry. Living in the present is the real attitude towards life.
? Happiness comes from the heart and is hidden in ordinary things. As long as you put your heart into it, ordinary life will become lovely and unforgettable. Lin Qingxuan's feelings for his parents are hidden in delicate and natural descriptions, and readers follow him into childhood. When I closed the book, my memory was suddenly awakened, and the happy time of getting along with my parents reappeared in front of me, which filled my heart with warmth. I see, as today's parents, everything I say, do and give to love is influenced by my parents! Only then do I know that everyone's experiences about childhood, parents and love have not really been forgotten, but have already been integrated into the blood and transformed into their own upbringing.
A pure and kind heart
? Lin Qingxuan once mentioned an enlightenment poem written by a Zen master: The sky is moist, and birds fly like birds. The water is clear, and fish are like fish. He sighed with emotion: birds fly like birds and have the dignity of birds; Fish swim like a fish, with the dignity of a fish; People live like people and have dignity, which is the most basic pattern in the civilized world. In his prose, I saw his soft and compassionate heart.
? "The Heart of Sparrows" tells that when Lin Qingxuan passed by Acacia Forest, he always saw a group of sparrows jumping around and yelling. One day, he sat at the window drinking coffee and observed carefully, only to find that it was the sparrow mother who was demonstrating to the children and teaching them the ability to stand in the middle of the grass and sway with the wind. He seems to know the sparrow's language-no, or not, it should be said that he knows the sparrow's heart. It turns out that it is not meaningless that sparrows can't jump every day without rest, but we don't know what this means from the human point of view.
? Once, he saw five dogs crouching in front of the bank, and all the dogs showed happy expressions. So I ran over and squatted with the dog, only to know that the automatic door of the bank opened and the air conditioner would rush out. On a hot day, the dog happily blows the air conditioner in front of the bank. The last paragraph reads: "I looked back at the happy faces of those dogs, and some tender parts of my heart were touched." We should not only cherish our own lives, but also cherish every living being. " Because our hearts are the hearts of all beings, and the desires of all beings are our desires. "(dog blows air conditioner)
Essays like this include Morning of Flying Pigeons, Collar of Sea Lions, Wild Goose that Don't Fly South, Dog Biting Tongue and so on. In prose, I am often influenced by a perfect heart. I can't help but be moved. I know that if we have a more considerate heart, we can get into everything. If our heart is like a mirror of Ming Che, we can see that all beings are equal and have Buddha nature. Although people are small, as long as they have a compassionate heart, it is like having a powerful force to contain the world. In other words, if all life is treated equally, the world will be full of vitality.
? Beautiful heart
? Life is not a lack of beauty, but a lack of discovery of beauty. Lin Qingxuan's prose let me see the beauty of things, and also let me see that if you have a kind of kindness to others, every kind of kindness will be sent out and circled, and there will be good returns.
? Children Growing Up in Flowers tells the story of a cousin of Gui who sent her grandson to a primary school ten miles away. Zhu Jin primary school is full of flowers, which is so beautiful. The school is not afraid of villagers stealing flowers, but also gives them a lot of flower seedlings. A few years later, all the villagers in Zhu Jin became flower lovers. If they have beautiful flowers or find new varieties, they will take them back to school. Zhu Jin Village has also become a big garden. Lin Qingxuan's prose style is beautiful, which makes the campus of Zhu Jin primary school beautiful. This primary school with only eight students in class one is full of flowers and green. When I read the article to my classmates, they all admired it softly, and their eyes showed warm yearning, as if their hearts were flying to this beautiful rural primary school. The article said: "Children who grow up in flowers will also have flowers in their hearts." I think it's absolutely right. The school is not a production workshop, and the shaping of machinery can only let us see the rigid discipline of children, not their conscious behavior. If children are raised in a beautiful environment, they will feel pity and cherish the bad environment. How can such a child become bad?
Friends often praise Lin Qingxuan for picking better fruits than others. He said he didn't pick fruits, only people who sold them. He always said, "Thank you! The fruit you picked last time was very good. I invited friends to eat, and they all praised me. " The vendor will help him choose the fruit more carefully. So it led to his point of view: "Instead of choosing pineapple, watermelon, sugarcane and bamboo shoots, it is better to choose one person and establish a long-term and profound friendship with a vendor." "As long as we know people well, fully trust others and establish good karma, then everything will come naturally and everyone is willing to help us." ("noble thoughts")
Each volume of Selected Prose of Lin Qingxuan has a theme, so you should edit it according to your own understanding. My understanding of the book allows me to go beyond these chapters and directly see the author's sentimental heart, innocent heart and beautiful heart. Human taste is pure happiness. I am holding a book, calm and happy. This faint joy makes me satisfied.
In the secular world, you can find the taste of happiness, stay clear in this turbid world, and have happiness in a sad world-this is the positive energy brought by Lin Qingxuan's prose.
