The epiphany of young people

  One day, a young man came to a Zen master and asked him how to get real happiness and inner peace. The Zen master smiled and said to him, "I will give you a Zen language. You should understand it carefully."

  The Zen master took out a glass of water, filled it with water, and handed it to the young man. The young man looked at the cup, and the Zen master suddenly stabbed the bottom of the cup with his finger, and the water began to flow out. The young man was surprised and asked, "Zen master, why did you break the cup?" The water has flowed out. "

  The Zen master calmly replied, "This glass of water represents your thoughts and troubles. When your mind is full of cups, you can't accept new things and experiences. Only when you let go of the shackles of thinking and let your troubles flow out can you get inner peace and real happiness. "

  The young man suddenly realized that he understood the meaning of the Zen master. He realized that too much thinking and persistence would only bother him, and real happiness and peace came from inner peace and acceptance. From that day on, young people began to practice Zen. Through meditation and awareness, they gradually let go of their troubles and persistence and gained inner peace and real happiness.

  This story tells us that Zen is not a simple word, but guides us to think and realize through meanings and symbols. Through the enlightenment of Zen, we can transcend the limitation of thinking, realize the existence of the present, and obtain inner peace and real happiness.
