There was a young and beautiful girl who came from a wealthy family with a rich family fortune and many talents. She was living a good life. The matchmaker almost broke the threshold of her family, but she never wanted to get married because she She feels like she hasn't met the boy she really wants to marry yet.
Until one day, she went to a temple fair to relax. Among the thousands of crowded people, she saw a young man. Needless to say, the girl felt that the man was the result of her hard waiting. . Unfortunately, the temple fair was too crowded and she couldn't walk to the man, so she just watched the man disappear into the crowd. In the next two years, the girl searched everywhere for the man, but the man seemed to have evaporated without a trace. The girl prays to Buddha every day, hoping to see the man again. Her sincerity moved the Buddha, and he appeared.
Buddha said: "Do you want to see that man again?"
The girl said: "Yes! I just want to see him again!"
Buddha: "You have to give up everything you have now, including your family who loves you and your happy life."
Girl: "I can give up!"
Buddha: "You still have You have to practice Taoism for five hundred years before you can see him. "
Girl: "I don't regret it!"
The girl turned into a big stone and lay down. In the wilderness, more than four hundred years of exposure to wind and sun were unbearable, but the girl felt it was nothing. What was uncomfortable was that she had not seen a single person in these four hundred years, and could not see any hope, which made her very happy. collapsed.
In the last year, a quarrying team came and took a fancy to her hugeness. They cut her into a huge stone and transported it into the city. They were building a stone bridge, so, The girl became the guardrail of the stone bridge.
On the first day when the stone bridge was built, the girl saw the man she had been waiting for for five hundred years! He walked in a hurry, as if there was something urgent, and walked quickly through the middle of the stone bridge. Of course, he would not notice a stone staring at him intently. The man disappeared again.
The Buddha appears again.
Buddha: "Are you satisfied?"
Girl: "No! Why? Why am I just the guardrail of the bridge? If I were laid in the middle of the bridge, I would be able to touch When I get to him, I can touch him!"
Buddha: "You want to touch him? Then you have to practice for five hundred years!"
Girl: "I do! ! "
Buddha: "You have suffered so much, don't you regret it?"
Girl: "You don't regret it!"
The girl turned into a tree. The big tree stands on an official road where people come and go. Many people pass by here every day. The girl watches closely every day, but this is even more uncomfortable because countless times she sees a person coming with hope, and countless times Hopes dashed. Without the five hundred years of practice, I believe the girl would have collapsed long ago! As the days passed, the girl's heart gradually calmed down. She knew that he would not appear until the last day. Another five hundred years! On the last day, the girl knew he would come, but she was no longer excited.
Here it comes! He's coming! He was still wearing his favorite white gown, and his face was still so handsome. The girl looked at him journeyingly. This time, he didn't walk in a hurry because it was too hot. He noticed a big tree on the side of the road. The thick shade was very inviting. Let's take a rest, he thought. He walked to the foot of the big tree, leaned against the roots, closed his eyes slightly, and fell asleep. The girl touched him! He was right next to her! However, she couldn't tell him about this thousand-year lovesickness. She could only try her best to gather the shade of the trees to block him from the harsh sunlight. Thousands of years of tenderness! The man just took a nap for a moment, because he still had things to do. He stood up and patted the dust on his gown. Before leaving, he looked back at the big tree and stroked the trunk slightly, maybe It was probably to thank the big tree for bringing him coolness. Then, he left without looking back!
The moment he disappeared from her sight, Buddha appeared again.
Buddha: "Do you still want to be his wife? Then you still have to practice."
"
The girl calmly interrupted the Buddha: "I really want to, but there is no need. "
Buddha: "Oh? "
Girl: "This is already very good. If you love him, you don't have to be his wife. "
Buddha: "Oh! "
Girl: "Has his current wife suffered like me? "
The Buddha nodded slightly.
The girl smiled slightly: "I can do it too, but there is no need." "
At this moment, the girl noticed that the Buddha sighed slightly, or in other words, the Buddha breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl was a little surprised: " Did Buddha also have something on his mind? "
A smile broke out on Buddha's face: Because this is good, there is a boy who can wait a thousand years less. He has been practicing for two thousand years in order to be able to look at you."
Life is always in balance, in a way that we either understand or do not understand.
Asking what love is in the world, it is one thing descending from another.
