Mandala

I did something meaningful yesterday; to be honest, I recently encountered some design orders that were not progressing smoothly, with resistance and even tit-for-tat disputes, quarrels, and interest games. But it didn't particularly affect my mood. A friend told me a long time ago that you can't satisfy everyone, just do what you think is reasonable, and keep your bottom line morals as high as possible. I'm stupid, but I seem to have awakened a little recently.

National Geographic magazine should be a soul-selling book. Can you please reduce it? Can you stop inserting so many ads? Stop inserting sponsored off-road vehicles, watches, and outdoor bags all the time, and all of them are transvestite-level equipment. It’s disgusting and has a low bottom line… Content quality is deteriorating.

I don’t have much ideas today, so I can’t think of anything to write on my own. How about you just treat this as a running account? Can I just consider this one of my weekly tasks? Because it’s impossible to put in all the effort. If you are really incompetent, you won’t be able to write anything thoughtful. What I am writing here today is really just to complete it as a task. If it feels messy and boring, I will accept your criticism.

Actually, there are a lot of things on my mind and a lot of material plans. The overflowing thoughts sometimes disrupt the rhythm.

There are so many things I want to do. I want many things to be perfect in an instant. I want to build many good ecosystems. I want everything to be in order. The more anxious you are, the more you are at a loss.

People’s ideas, hobbies, and sentiments change every few years and undergo earth-shaking adjustments.

No matter how civilized and elegant a person is, there will be an unknown dark side. When human nature is nakedly expressed, you will be horrified. I have a little bit of insight. Regardless of right or wrong, good or bad, right or wrong, high or low. The other side is indeed a volcano that no one wants to mention, and it is certain that it will erupt every once in a while. Don't try to climb to the moral high ground, or you will fall miserably.

"Gui Jiao Qi" is a person I have always paid attention to. I have watched his process from a commoner to a great god, and then from a great god to a leader. I didn’t speak and couldn’t get a word in. Just like Shi Yongxin's mantra: wait and see again in a few years. But I am very grateful to him. I discovered WeChat from him, otherwise I would not have opened a WeChat subscription account and personal account by now.

Some people will scramble to climb to the moral high ground and judge people with the mentality of a leader, just like grading papers, grading papers according to their own standards. Who knows right or wrong? How to measure it?

The lingering vastness of cause and effect is ultimately nothing. There are many people who understand, but very few understand. I don’t understand either. I really don’t understand. Those who understand have already escaped into Buddhism.

Have you ever heard of mandala sand painting? I want to draw one, maybe next week, or the next week, or the next week? This takes too long and is difficult, and I don’t know when it will be completed. This ideal Buddhist country and prosperous world are nothing more than a handful of fine sand; can I understand it? A grain of sand can contain the world, a thousand worlds. A place for a Buddha? A flower is a world, a tree is a floating life, a grass is a heaven, a leaf is a Tathagata, a sand is a bliss, a square is a pure land, a smile is a fate, and a thought is tranquility.

Your smile has forged a fate with me in my future life. Your thought has sown the cause, and the retribution thousands of miles away comes because of you.

But the mandala I made will not be destroyed, because I can’t destroy it in such a vain way, so please forgive me and let me slowly understand the truth.

I will use the encyclopedia to explain it here, hoping to arouse your interest:

【Mandala sand painting is called dul-tson-kyil-khor in Tibetan, which means "mandala of colored powder". The prosperous world is just a handful of fine sand. Since the Buddha personally taught his disciples to make sand mandala more than 2,500 years ago, this exquisite religious art has been passed down from generation to generation without interruption. In the eleventh century, it spread from northern India to Tibet and is still preserved today.

In Tibetan Buddhism, there is one of the most unique and exquisite religious art. During each large-scale ritual event, the lamas in the monastery use millions of grains of sand to depict the strange Buddhist world. This process may last for days or even months.

However, the beautiful three-dimensional paintings created by the lamas with painstaking efforts and painstaking efforts were not used to show off their beauty to the world. The world painted with sand will be swept away without hesitation and disappear in an instant… The fine sand will be bottled and poured into the river.

For the mandala, people in the Buddhist community explain it this way: "This shows that the Buddha's career started with nothing, and he was able to build a solemn mandala, and then developed the power of transformation, but in the end he still gained nothing. This is completely consistent with the continuous experience of life and death in the universe. The transition of existence, change and destruction without stagnation or attachment can enable the dharma lineage of propagating enlightenment to continue endlessly, so that the great cause of saving all sentient beings can be carried out continuously. The sand mandala can be empty with a flick of the hand, which best echoes the essence of Buddhism of "impermanence, illusion, non-attachment and emptiness"]

Recently, I have been looking back at the Ghost Handkerchief jar when I have free time. I have no opinion on the work. Every design has its owner. It’s good if the owner likes it. I admire her ability and sense of control. She has many skills other than design that I should learn and worship. I also hope to have my own "Mingyue Tower" like her. I hope to sow good karma and reap good rewards.

Recently, I am working on my blog and want to start live broadcasting the construction. The reason is that I have been suggested by customers and friends before, but I did not pay enough attention to it. Recently, I feel that it is imperative. Maybe soon I will broadcast every live broadcast of my trading to WeChat and blog. It is more difficult and time-consuming than I thought. I must have spent a lot of energy to do this. Her current results are very good, and the fee is several times that of mine. I didn't pay much attention to this before, but now I understand a little bit: No matter how rich your mind and soul are, you must have a vision for discovery.

To put it bluntly, I also want to make more money. It's just a matter of urgency.

I wonder how many people can still stick to the habit of keeping a diary? I am considered a good student. I have been writing weekly diaries since last year. In fact, I have gained a lot. Regardless of money or your own experience and discernment. Every time I write an article, I can let more people know about it, so I can filter out friends with similar temperaments, and then find me for cooperation. What I should do is to be more authentic.
