Last time I wrote about my insights from studying Buddhism 📖, I received a lot of resonance from like-minded people. Sadhu Sadhu, I am very grateful 🙏. The magnetic field resonates; I believe that words can bring energy transmission and perception. The law of attraction, good causes lead to good results, and one day, it will bring blessings!

Today, I want to talk about the section in the book regarding mindfulness and awareness. I know I am dull and have a low level of understanding. After years of taking refuge, I still cannot attain enlightenment and liberation. Many times, I still have wrong views, which ultimately transform into greed and anger. The process of cultivation can be described as difficult, like climbing a steep mountain. Today, my master’s book dissects our wrong views—seeking sensory experiences—greed and anger (as shown in 👇 image 12). The article provides a wonderful method for breaking this cycle. First, we need to communicate awareness, applying mindfulness and awareness in our daily communication, and deliberately practice breaking this inertia by replacing it with mindfulness and awareness when we are aware of our wrong views (as shown in 👇 image 34).

Thus, the title of this book is "Walking with Stillness and Insight." Stillness is a form of wisdom; it is about knowing when to stop, having measure and boundaries, understanding one’s own limits and needs, rather than just seeking and acquiring. This is great wisdom. Many times, we are led astray by temporary gains and fleeting pleasures, which give rise to wrong views, continuously cycling through our greed and anger. However, little do we know that energy is conserved; the more we seek, the faster energy dissipates elsewhere. For example, many people acquire a lot of wealth but lose their health or the companionship of family. Therefore, I resonate with a line from the Diamond Sutra: "How should one abide? How should one subdue the mind? One should abide without attachment and give rise to the mind." Yet, from childhood to adulthood, we have studied for so many years, but schools have never taught us how to 'settle the mind.' Thus, we need to read Buddhist scriptures and seek enlightenment. What is enlightenment? Enlightenment is heart + I, my heart, using my heart to perceive this world, cultivating my heart, allowing my heart to settle. Regular meditation and mindfulness will help the heart settle, and then there will be no wrong views or worries, allowing us to unlock our wisdom.

So how do we gain wisdom? By practicing 'stillness and insight.' The Great Learning states, "Knowing the limit leads to stability." Knowing 'stillness' is the first step. Is the wind moving? Is the sail moving? It is all 'the heart moving.' In #Web3, we see this A7 tomorrow and that A8, someone has grasped a great opportunity. Who can remain unaffected? When the heart moves, it leads to 'wrong views,' and the heart becomes 'chaotic,' 'anxious,' 'irritable,' and so on. At this moment, greed and anger arise. Clearly, one should settle on a trading strategy that suits them in the present, yet they impatiently seek big opportunities. Once the strategy goes off track, losses and drawdowns naturally follow, and the emotional triggers can lead to a terrible mood for the day.

Thus, Laozi and Zhuangzi said: "One should not reflect on flowing water, but on still water; only stillness can stop the multitude." Only by calming the mind can one observe all things. Why learn meditation and concentration? Zen is a captivating flower that does not follow the environment. Concentration is not attached to appearances; the heart remains unmoved. By skillfully guarding our thoughts, we can restart our self-awareness, wisdom, and energy, allowing us to find careers and partners that resonate with our magnetic field.

Having just discussed 'stillness,' next is 'insight.' Insight is 'again' + 'seeing,' seeing oneself again, which is introspection. Many times, we seek outwardly; when encountering difficulties, we do not first introspect but hope for a 'support' or 'request.' Sometimes, when we cannot obtain what we seek or rely on something, we feel pain. For example, giving gifts to leaders to seek promotion, stuffing red envelopes to get things done, burning incense and praying for wealth. When things go well, everyone is happy; when they do not, complaints and anger arise. This cycle continues. What we constantly pursue—scores, fame, wealth, etc.—must be pursued endlessly. When will it end? The wisdom of practicing 'stillness and insight' is incredibly important; after all, life is only about 30,000 days, and happiness and freedom are the greatest blessings.

Laozi said, "What exists is for benefit, what does not exist is for use." In reality, we often focus on "what exists" while neglecting the value of "what does not exist." For example:

• Music relies on sound (existence), but it is the "pauses and intervals" (non-existence) that give music its rhythm.
• Articles are composed of words (existence), but "white space and omissions" (non-existence) allow readers to feel the artistic conception more deeply.
• Business management requires systems (existence), but flexibility and freedom (non-existence) give organizations more vitality.

Thus, what we think we can pursue as 'existence' is never truly for you to 'have,' but to assist in our 'growth of wisdom,' allowing us to 'perceive the void and give rise to the wonderful existence.' When we leave this world, we take nothing with us. Only through transcending wisdom can we truly claim to have 'existence.'

I hope these insights can encourage each other. Sadhu Sadhu. Grateful 🙏
