There is a cultivation, called Silence

Don't judge others freely

The old saying goes, "Sit quietly and always think about your faults, idle talk about right and wrong."

The trouble comes from the mouth, keep the right time to keep silent, and do not use your mouth to measure the lives of others, not to mention pointing behind your back.

The sea, the reason why the sea, only because of the silence, with a broad mind, allowing a hundred rivers of water. The sky, the reason for the deep, only because of smooth and silent, stretching the embrace of the eagle to soar at will.

"The water is deep and silent, people are stable and do not speak".

Silence is cultivation, is the self-discipline of life, keep a heart in balance, do not argue, do not argue, do not quarrel.

01. see through, do not say though

Many people or things in the world, often you can see through at a glance, and the people in it, but still confused, or you know a person's secret, but hold back not to say, to the silence.

This is a kind of cultivation.

The words will be lost, see-through, not to say broken, but even more valuable.

You think you have a straightforward heart, you can tell the truth about right and wrong; you think you have told the shortcomings of others, others will be grateful to you; you think you are the savior of the world, straightforward to a sincere heart, save others from the sea of suffering.

These are your self-righteousness.

The more you act in a high profile, the more you invite people to hate you, the more you can't control your mouth, the more you put people in an awkward situation, so much so that others will hold a grudge against you, and even turn against you to your face.

See-through, not to break, is a kind of wisdom, that can subtly ease the situation, you know I know, God knows on the line, why make everyone know?

Remember this story: In ancient times, there are three people, who are best friends, together with the rice, together with the flow of the waves, together with the sleep of the street, together with the suffering, finally one day, one of them soared into the sky, the uprising as the emperor.

On this day, two people went into the palace to meet the emperor, one of them in the hall and talked eloquently about those disgraceful past events, said one by one, so that the emperor's face is not light.

After retreating from the court, the eloquent person was put into prison, while the silent person became a major official.

See-through, do not say though, is a discipline, but also a practice, if you are in a hurry, and can not control your mouth, it will lead to a big disaster.

02. arguing is better than arguing, the quarrel is better than silence

As the saying goes, "Buddha fights for a stick of incense, people fight for a breath."

Be a person, arguing is better than arguing, arguing is better than silence, you argue to argue, argue to win you, and how?

You can not get the world, nor money, not to mention fame and fortune, but only to meet their vanity, but their satisfaction, satisfaction, but let others lose face, offend others at the same time, but also let their mind exhausted.

Keep silent, keep a balanced heart, and do not argue, many times, the impulse is the devil, the more to fight, the more you can not help your temper, fighting became a struggle, so later the old dead.

Just a few days ago, and a colleague of mine for a small matter to argue around, we are two people who do not give in to the fight, do not back down, spittle, so that the more the fight escalated, the arrival of serious, face to face, the more ferocious, and even the impulse to fight.

People are like this, the more you fight the more you lose your mind, the more you fight the more anxious you are, and the angrier you will make a big mistake.

How about silence, a slap on the wrist does not ring, let others in the yakking, ignore, so that the person will have little meaning, will stop not to fight.

How about silence, silence is gold, a moment of tranquility, you can let yourself calm your indignant heart, in exchange for a harmonious world.

How about silence, silence is cultivation, a sea of tolerance after the sky.

03. Silence is king, in the silence to build up strength, to spread their wings and soar

People, the cultivation of a heart.

The heart, to not float, silence is king, return to the quiet, in the quiet to think about where they go, think about where the problem is, to find their defects, in the silence to build up strength, to fill the body and mind with knowledge, to spread their wings.

Rockefeller said: "Silence brings you a lot of benefits, low profile, become humble, in other words, hide your intelligence. The smarter you are, the more you know how to be silent, just like ripe rice, hanging down the ears of rice."

In the silence to build up strength, hidden strength, so that one day in the silence to explode, a stunning, to achieve an unexpected effect.

This effect is not done for others to see, but for their own eyes, do not care about the eyes of others, and do not care about the flattery of others, I am just me, do a silent self, no need to show off, and no need for others to remember themselves, only to ask for a clear conscience, to walk on the ground, step by step.

A wise man once said to his disciples: "The more high-profile people, the more stupid, the more difficult it is to succeed, although now is the scenery, after it will quietly disappear in the sea of people, and those who are silent, in the silence to build up strength, one day will achieve their stars and the sea."

A literary friend is a typical example. She writes every day, and her husband says she wastes electricity and time. But she paid no attention to it and built up her strength in silence, and finally one day she achieved her goal. So much so that later, when her husband came into the house, he asked her how many words she had written today and how much she had earned.

The contrast between before and after is quite great.

Silence makes people successful, silence makes people mature, silence is the best opportunity to sharpen, silence is a kind of cultivation, in the cultivation of the slow conditioning of the mind, not anxious, not dry, not panic, nor busy, calmly walk, calmly live, calmly live their own lives.
