The location of this yoga room is good. In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a beautiful view of the flat lake.
Hope brings joy to my heart.
Hong Kang sat on the armchair and gestured to Ye Lanqiu.
"let's start."
Ye Lanqiu sat down cross-legged and began to contemplate the crystal ball at home.
She bought it in a small handicraft shop when she was traveling. She thought it looked very good at first. The boss said it was a natural crystal with a light cyan color on the surface, not as pale and clear as artificial crystal.
And it contains "inclusions", some of which are bright crystal flakes, some of which are like clouds and fog, like mountain scenery... They are naturally carved, with random shapes, strong strength, strangeness and beauty.
Ye Lanqiu was trying hard to meditate and breathe, but after more than ten minutes, her mood began to become irritable, and it was difficult to enter the state. She was not focused and had all kinds of distracting thoughts...
Hong Kang saw the changes in his mental state as if he were watching fire.
This is a common problem among ordinary people and is perfectly normal.
Ye Lanqiu's breathing rhythm became short, his heartbeat accelerated, his brows furrowed, his heart became restless, and his body couldn't help but tense up. As a result, he couldn't relax...
"Why can't my heart calm down? It's obviously very simple...!"
"How can we concentrate and relax at the same time? Enter the state of crystal visualization?"
The more Ye Lanqiu thought about it, the more troubled he became, but the more impatient he became, the less able he was to concentrate, falling into a vicious cycle.
After about ten minutes, Ye Lanqiu, who still found nothing, opened his eyes, feeling a little tired and depressed.
If it weren't for the real strange man Hong Kang, she would have doubted the authenticity of "Crystal Visualization".
"Mr. Hong, I..."
"No need to be disappointed, it would be a miracle if you could succeed the first time..."
"Knowing is the beginning of action, and action is the beginning of knowing..."
"Just because you know the truth in the world doesn't mean you can do it..."
Hong Kang slowly spoke, "It is normal to have a wandering mind, restless nights, racing thoughts, and overwhelming thoughts. Even the Zen master Yu Ke, who has practiced Zen and enlightenment for many years, cannot completely overcome this problem, let alone you...!"
When Hong Kang said this, Ye Lanqiu suddenly felt more comfortable and at ease. What people fear most is comparison, and what they need most is comparison.
"Heart ape, heart ape, "heart" is Sun Wukong, he has great magical powers, how can he be so easy to surrender..."
"The so-called great terror between life and death. Originally, I thought that when you knew that you had terminal lymphoma, you had a dying mentality. You should have abandoned distracting thoughts and only had the obsession to survive..."
"If you have been unable to get started, the final result will not change much..."
Ye Lanqiu felt a wave of dissatisfaction and unwillingness in his heart.
After finally seeing a glimmer of hope, she will not give up. In life, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, there are infinite possibilities.
"Mr. Hong, is there no faster way?"
Hong Kang said calmly: "Miss Ye, there is a saying that goes well, you can't wait for others to arrange your life, you have to fight and fight for it yourself."
"Life is very fragile. I have given you the key to the door of life. Survive death. The only one who can save you now is yourself."
Ye Lanqiu understood the meaning of Hong Kang's words.
Although Hong Kang didn't say whether there was a faster way, the hidden meaning of his words was that even if there was, this was the only help he could give. If he wanted to survive, he would have to practice something famous on his own.
She opened her mouth and wanted to request again.
However, Hong Kang's image suddenly became infinitely taller in her eyes, exuding a majestic flavor, like a rugged peak, independent of the world, seeing through the changes in the wind and clouds, and the world was a big dream.
All her words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them out. After blinking a few times, the feeling disappeared again, as if what she had just experienced was an illusion.
The thoughtful Ye Lanqiu knew that this was another kind of rejection by Hong Kang.
However, this method shocked her again.
After meeting Hong Kang, Ye Lanqiu felt that behind this daily reality, there was a vaguely bizarre world.
There was a moment of silence.
"Miss Ye, I can give you a suggestion..."
"If you want to speed up your introduction to visualization, you can read more Buddhist and Taoist classics, absorb the wisdom of the ancestors, and at the same time study contemporary psychological science, research reports..."
"This can deepen your understanding of mind, spirit, consciousness, thinking, etc..."
Ye Lanqiu forced a smile: "This is both metaphysics and science, wouldn't it conflict?"
Hong Kangdao: "Whether it is metaphysics or science, it is a way for people to understand the heaven, earth and universe. They are not binary oppositions, they are just manifestations of different eras."
"You have to break some of your previous intellectual barriers."
Ye Lanqiu said: "When I met you, Mr. Hong, my worldview began to waver..."
Hong Kang smiled and suddenly said: "Do you know Zen Buddhism?"
Ye Lanqiu nodded.
Shaolin Temple, who doesn’t know~!
"So, have you read the Zen classic "Five Lanterns Huiyuan"?"
"..."
Ye Lanqiu shook his head weakly.
Hong Kang smiled lightly and said: "It doesn't matter, most people really won't read these books. I'll tell you."
"There is a story recorded in the eighth volume of "Wu Deng Hui Yuan". A novice once asked the Zen master: "Whenever my disciple sits at night, his mind is racing, and he doesn't know the place where he is hiding. I would like to show him and recite it. "Isn't it the same situation as you are now?"
Ye Lanqiu's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that the sages had already given instructions.
He hurriedly asked: "How did the Zen master answer?"
Hong Kang said: "The Zen Master said: "Suppose you are sitting at leisure at night, your thoughts are flying around, but if you try to find out where the flying thoughts are, and find them nowhere, then where can the flying thoughts exist? If we return to the investigation of the heart, can we find out where the heart is at peace?
The wisdom that can be illuminated is empty, and the surrounding environment is also silent. All the surrounding wisdom is silent, and the mind is at peace. Don’t look for dust outside, don’t stay calm inside, eliminate the two ways, and be content with one nature. This is the key to returning to the source. "
You don’t need me to translate this sentence for you, right? ! "
Ye Lanqiu nodded. After all, she had a graduate degree, so she would have no problem understanding this ancient text.
But for this kind of Zen saying, it is not enough to just understand the meaning, it must be deeply understood.
But at least it's a direction.
Since there is no effect here, Ye Lanqiu is ready to go home.
Hong Kang Youyou reminded: "There are a bunch of reporters waiting for you below. You'd better be mentally prepared."
Ye Lanqiu frowned: "Reporters? How do they know I'm here?"
"The front desk recognized you and sold your information to the newspaper."
Ye Lanqiu gradually became immune to the magic of Hong Kang being able to know everything despite being with him all the time.
Qi said: "How could she do this?! I'm going to file a complaint against her!"
Hong Kang said calmly: "Because of the company's reputation, the reporters were blocked by the security guards and were not let in."
"But I want to know, what will you do next?"
"Should I choose to leave through the back door or the front door?"
Listening to Hong Kang's seemingly playful words and tone, Ye Lanqiu knew that the other party wanted him to choose the latter.
But when you go out from the main entrance, you have to face the reporters' sniping, as well as all kinds of malicious speculation, persecution and questioning.
If Ye Lanqiu had been in a gloomy mood before, of course she would have chosen to escape. She just wanted to have a moment of peace.
but now--
Ye Lanqiu glanced at Hong Kang and strode away.
At the main entrance.
A group of reporters are looking forward to it.
Someone's voice suddenly sounded.
"Come out, come out, Miss Sunglasses is out..."
"Hurry up and point the camera at her!~"
