Honestly, thinking about it, isn't it all the same wherever a person lives? We all eat, drink, defecate, urinate, and sleep the same way.
When desire lessens, human happiness increases.
Look at those primitive people who haven't yet entered the technological lifestyle. Although they may seem more savage and filthy than normal humans, their happiness is very simple. Catching a bit of food after a hunt can make them happy for the entire day.
Now look at those who take life lightly and live simply. They find joy in growing flowers and vegetables.
The time we have now, much of it doesn't truly belong to us.
Things like scrolling through videos or playing games often consume our energy, and time passes by without us even realizing it.
I'm not saying this is bad, but sometimes, when people quiet their minds, they should really think about it.
If a person's time is represented as one, and then 0.5 is taken by this, and 0.3 by that, only a tiny bit of their own time is left.
This little bit of time passes before they can even react.
Some people live their whole lives without understanding because they spend all their time on various things, never stopping to think about who they truly are.
Thus, they are controlled by their habits their entire lives and never understand.
Some cultivators, upon reaching a certain point, even disregard national affairs and observe with cold indifference.
Cultivating in this world to save others is a mission, but protecting one's home and country is a heavenly duty.
Would you say that an innate heavenly duty should be greater than a mission? Of course, an innate heavenly duty must be greater than a mission in times of peace.
These two points are not in conflict. In times of peace, people should cultivate diligently; in times of national crisis, they should take up arms and fight.
This is also the embodiment of great benevolence and righteousness, the Bodhi heart and Vajra wrath.
Having only a Bodhisattva's heart is not enough. When demons attack, if you don't slay them, what will become of Huaxia's people?
What will become of all living beings under heaven? If you can't even protect a single pure land, how can you hope to win the hearts of the people?
How can you possibly save all beings?
If you don't protect and care for those around you, are they not also living beings?
If you cling to your own life to survive, who else will you save? Will you save running dogs? Save traitors? Save enemies?
To be blunt, if you can't even protect and save the beings around you, what the hell are you going to save?
The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation aims to jointly create a community of shared future for mankind.
What other country can do this? What other country possesses such great righteousness?
Some countries, under the guise of maintaining world peace, plunder resources everywhere, seize oil, and label any enemy that doesn't cooperate as a terrorist.
If the children of Huaxia do not rise up, and these kinds of people dominate the world, you can imagine how despicable it is when they label you as evil while they are robbing you.
Therefore, no matter how ignorantly some people dismiss us, please believe that this is merely their individual judgment from their own perspective.
Compared to countries still suffering hardship, Huaxia can be said to be like a heavenly kingdom.
You don't have to worry about being robbed on the street in the name of equality for all beings, nor do you have to worry about your neighbor sending you off with "equality for all beings" during a quarrel.
So-called freedom should begin with humanity liberating their minds, not by trapping themselves in cognitive habits, unable to break free, while also complaining about heaven and earth.
Everyone will die eventually. If there are injustices in your heart, resolve them in your heart. If there are injustices in matters, resolve them in those matters. These are not excuses for us to complain about heaven and earth, nor are they reasons for us not to love our country.
A truly friendly nation, like ours, does not interfere with other countries and does not allow other countries to interfere with us.
This is what is meant by "letting him be him, and me be me," and this is the mark of a truly benevolent nation.
Look at those brothers standing on the border, guarding peace. Aren't they all sons and daughters of parents, just like you and me? Don't they all wish for a stable and happy life?
The fact that we can live and cultivate well now is entirely due to the silent sacrifices of these guardians.
Some even paid with their lives to protect this peace!
The vast Huaxia, its beautiful mountains and rivers, are all protected by their sweat and blood.
Yes, you might say that once you're rich, you can go anywhere in the world or live whatever kind of life you desire.
But when you were still weak, you cannot deny that it was the ancestors who used their flesh and blood, their steel bodies, to build a strong fortress, allowing you to grow up in peace.
You say you've studied many cultures, your understanding is outstanding, and you've achieved great things. Without this protection, wouldn't you be no different from those displaced children who have lost their homes?
Without this protection, how could you guard the beauty in your heart amidst hunger and hardship?
The great righteousness of cultivators is sometimes not what they perceive as sacrificing the small for the large.
It is truly about sacrificing one's own smallness for the greatness of everyone.
If you don't even protect the peace of your parents and family, who do you think you can protect?
Just protect that unique heart you believe you possess?
All things are one, and hearts are interconnected.
If that were truly the case, it would merely be self-deception to preserve one's own selfish desires.
The enlightenment of a cultivator should be one that fears neither birth nor death, but rather lives when it is time to live, and dies when it is time to die.
With heroic spirit that shakes the heavens, and righteousness that reaches the clouds.
To possess the power to reshape heaven and earth, one must have an energy that pierces through the heavens and penetrates the earth.
If it is for oneself, it is driven by selfish desires. If it is for all beings, it is driven by a great cause.
A great cause never dies, and heroic souls reside forever.
If you believe I am merely spouting nonsense, then you can conduct an experiment to verify what I say.
You can try going to a graveyard at midnight to feel the panic in your heart, and then go to Martyrs' Park to feel that peace of mind.
You will then understand the power of this great cause, how formidable this energy is.
You might feel a trace of fear towards the place where your own family buries their ancestors, but you will absolutely not feel fear towards the resting place of our heroic ancestors.
Do you see this energy? It is an energy that transcends time and space! The heart of a great cause can bridge the past and the present!
No matter when or where you are, if fear arises in your heart, please take a bouquet of flowers and visit the Martyrs' Cemetery. That is the place most brimming with positive energy in the world!
You must know who stands behind you. They are the countless individuals who, with swords in hand, bravely fought the enemy, all for your current peace and stability.
They are the ones who sacrificed their lives for your peace! They are the Huaxia ancestors who died in your stead so that you could live!
Their sole common purpose is to protect the descendants of Huaxia and this hard-won peace.
Are you proud? Do you feel how powerful the presence behind you is?
He says he has immortals behind him, he says he has ghosts behind him, he says how incredibly powerful he is.
Let him see who stands behind you!
Will you still be afraid?
Behind you stand the souls of heroes! Behind you stands a great cause!
It is the most powerful and selfless energy in this world!
We, who cultivate immortality, must continue this energy and pass it down!
With high spirits and mighty strides, we crossed the Yalu River. Protecting peace and our motherland is protecting our homeland!
Protecting peace and our motherland is guarding the light within our hearts!
