bell subsequent
2013, Zhong Siyuan, who graduated from the "post-90s" girl from Sichuan Vocational College of Chemical Industry, gave up his salary of 5000 yuan a month and chose to come home from the Jade Emperor view of Danshan, Xuyong county.
yesterday, Zhong Si Yuan told the Beijing News reporters that the monk was not a hot minded person at that time. It is enough for everyone to understand and pass on traditional culture by touching something she has done.
the idea of a family practice "never wavered" "
New Beijing newspaper: 3 years since graduation from 2013. Now, looking back, choosing a family practice is a hot or thoughtful mind?
Zhong Siyuan: it's not a fever. I had this idea since I was a child. I was very interested in reading books, and I was very interested in traditional culture. Later, I decided in high school that I would go to school after graduation.
Beijing News: why do we choose Taoism?
Zhong Siyuan: This is called "fate" in Taoism. I often wonder what life and death are all about. Born to live in this world, I don't want to muddle through and rush through my whole life. I want to understand something. In contact with Taoism, I think I can give me the answer. And for the first time, the Jade Emperor's view is familiar. It is fascinated by the profound cultural details and scenery here. This is the the Peach Garden in my heart.
Beijing News: you are so young to choose to become a family member. Is there any objection from your family?
Zhong Siyuan: family members will be reluctant to part with, but have not discouraged me. I walked this way more smoothly, did not encounter much resistance. My family is considerate of me. My parents want me to be healthy, happy and safe. They also hope that I can choose what I like to do.
Beijing News: will your choice make some people misunderstand your family?
Zhong Siyuan: my parents think it is not embarrassing or embarrassing to look at it now. First of all, my choice is not illegal. In this process, I strive to inherit traditional culture and improve my culture.
Beijing News: when you become a monk, who will take care of your parents?
Zhong Siyuan: I am an only child. I don't usually go back very often, but I have to go home for one or two days with time or special circumstances. Usually friends and family members will also be contacted by WeChat. There is no problem in this respect.
besides, my parents are both workers and workers. They have pension and medical insurance. We have hundreds of dollars in living allowance every month.
Beijing News: compared with these hundreds of pieces, is it a pity to have given up the monthly salary of 5000 yuan?
Zhong Siyuan: that job is selling, with an average wage of 5000 and higher performance. I refused, because the sale is not the same as the things I pursue inside, my goal is very clear, that is to go home and practice, it is not a pity to give up this opportunity.
Beijing News: has shaken during the practice of monk cultivation?
Zhong Siyuan: never wavered, I was iron heart. When I became a monk, I was mentally prepared, and I threw away my life and death, let alone anything else. My goal is very firm, so it is not difficult to encounter anything.
Beijing News: some netizens say that after many years of reading, it is a waste of educational resources.
Zhong Siyuan: that's not a contradiction. The experience of reading is a process of growth and learning for me, and the development of wisdom needs guidance by knowledge. I am very grateful for this time. In the process of growing up learning, dealing with interpersonal relationships is also a process of tempering the mind.
"did not expect to be popular on the Internet"
Beijing News: do you adapt to life after becoming a monk?
Zhong Siyuan: after I get up and wash up every morning, I will open the temple door, then light the lamp, burn incense, chant scriptures, make breakfast, and then do the cleaning. After that, I'll hit the Taijiquan. If there are tourists coming, I will give them some puzzles. If there are no tourists, I can read, write, etc. I'm happy with this kind of life.
New Beijing News: do you use the Internet in peacetime?
Zhong Siyuan: there was no net on the mountain before. Last year, I told my chef that it would be more convenient to install a net. I read the news every day, and I exchange with my family, friends and people who are interested in Taoist culture.
Beijing News: monks are generally born out of the world. Complex Internet world will affect their practice?
Zhong Siyuan: the use of new technology and practice does not contradict, using new technology to build a platform for carrying forward the traditional culture, is also a way of practice. Everything is a double-edged sword. It is good to make good use of it.
Beijing News: when you go online every day, when do you know you are "red"?
Zhong Siyuan: never thought it would be red. Actually, for me, there is no concept of "red". After the related reports came out, my classmates, teachers and family members sent me messages that I was red and famous on the Internet. On the contrary, I am very ashamed.
New Beijing News: why is it ashamed?
Zhong Siyuan: I have nothing to do until now. I am still a beginner. I need to grow up in practice. There are many predecessors who devote themselves to carrying forward the traditional culture. They deserve our respect. Especially for our monks, these have nothing to do with practice.
can't regard monk as "escaping" attitude
Beijing News: has anyone been attracted to you after being popular?
Zhong Siyuan: there will be many tourists coming up to mountain to consult with me for some confusion, some of them are in a very depressed mood. I will tell them that these are temporary and do things in the direction of sunshine. The energy around the body will attract good things. In fact, the period of ups and downs in human life is normal. There is prosperity and decline. In the declining stage, it is the transformation from prosperity to prosperity, which is the transformation of yin and Yang.
Beijing News: but now some people choose to become a monk when they encounter setbacks.
Zhong Siyuan: some people get married is a way of escaping the world. In fact, they do not understand the meaning of monks. I often suggest that if people are tired, they can take a month or a year to calm down, adjust their status and put them into social life. Don't take home as an attitude to avoid reality. It's fun to go home, and it's no way if you don't have a firm belief and a positive attitude.
Beijing News: if someone wants to become a monk, will you persuade them?
Zhong Siyuan: I will not persuade others, because I have to understand what I really want. In fact, doing well in the society is also a kind of practice, as long as the body and mind are united. You can't do social work and think about getting married. Your mood is always in contradiction, which is not responsible for your work and yourself. In the same way, as a monk, we should concentrate on practice, and if we still think of fame and wealth, we will not be able to do so.
Beijing News: do you want your experience to bring everyone's attention to traditional culture?
Zhong Siyuan: Nowadays people know little about traditional culture, and everyone is pursuing something outside. Watching some people muddle around every day, I feel a little lost. If we touch and understand traditional culture, we will know that traditional culture advocates that everyone should be a moral person. In life, we should respect each other, tolerate and improve the character. This will make family and society more harmonious, which is exactly the same as the country advocating a harmonious society.
in carrying forward the traditional culture, although I am not an expert, I do hope that through my own choice, it is enough to make people feel in mind, from contact to interest, and to carrying forward and inheriting.
