(Share) leaving worldly possessions, leaving the matter of the soul


          One middle-aged man felt his life was very heavy, life stress too much, you want to seek relief methods, so the whereabouts of a Zen master for advice. 
         Jackson gave him a basket to his back on his shoulders, pointing to a bumpy road ahead, said: "Every time you take a step forward, bent down to pick up a stone to put Lou Zili, then look there what a feeling. "
         Middle-aged according to Jackson's instructions to do, so he backs basket filled with stones, Jackson asked: "? Along the way what you feel." 
         Middle-aged man replied: "feel closer and heavy."
 
          Then the monk said: "When everyone came to this world, are burdened with an empty basket us every step forward, it will pick up something from this world into them, and therefore will have more and more tired of feeling. "
         Middle-aged man asked: "So is there any way you can reduce the weight of it?" 
         The monk asked him: "Are you willing to fame, wealth, vanity, power and other out abandon it?" The man could not answer. 
         Monk said: "Everyone's Lou Zili loaded, are themselves from this world to find something, but you Lost too, if you can not give up some of your life will afford, and now know what should be dropped and what is left of it? "
         Middle-aged monk asked: "This way, they leave what you leave any of it??" 
         Monk laughed and said: "leaving worldly possessions, leaving the matter of the soul." 
         People in the world, do not be tempted all the time from the outside, once you have fame, will be fit for fame; With the money, it will not fit on the money; With Love, love will not let go; With career, it will not fit on the cause. 
         When things get too much, over the life of the bearing capacity, at this time, how would you do it? What is left? What discarded? This will become particularly important when choosing the slightest mistake, happiness will slip away from us. 
         Fame and fortune is like his backpack and stones, the more you get the more heavy gait, physical equipment, but rather the soul, the more wisdom and happiness of looking at things is simple. Like the story of a monk, as the body no one, but full of wisdom.
