Main Description Text 【About This Video】 In the Tang Dynasty, near the Guoqing Temple on Mount Tiantai, lived two legendary figures: Han Shan (Cold Mountain) and Shi De (The Foundling). To the common eye, Han Shan looked like a beggar in birch-bark hat and wooden clogs, while Shi De was a kitchen worker who collected leftovers in bamboo tubes for his friend. However, beneath their "mad" and eccentric behavior lay the true identities of the Bodhisattvas Manjusri and Samantabhadra. This video breaks down their most famous teaching—a dialogue that has healed hearts for over a thousand years. 📌 The Classic Dialogue: How to Handle Conflict When Han Shan asked, "If someone in the world slanders me, bullies me, insults me, laughs at me, belittles me, cheapens me, hates me, and deceives me, how should I handle it?" Shi De replied with a timeless prescription: "Just endure him, let him be, allow him, avoid him, tolerate him, respect him, do not pay attention to him, and after waiting a few more years, you just watch him." 📜 The Maitreya Bodhisattva Verse Shi De further explained this philosophy through the Maitreya Bodhisattva Verse, teaching us that: • On Patience: "If someone spits on my face, let it dry on its own; I save effort, and he has no annoyance." • On Impermanence: "Piles of gold and silver as high as mountains cannot buy a limit on impermanence." • On Vanity: Whether you are a hero or a "good fellow," time moves like an arrow, and soon illness and old age arrive. 💡 Key Takeaways: 1. The Power of Non-Contention: Their philosophy aligns with a "clean and non-action" approach, advocating for "less selfishness and no fighting" to achieve personal liberation. 2. Defensive Offense: While some see this as passive, modern interpretations suggest this is a form of "defensive offense"—focusing on your own growth while letting opponents fall behind over time. 3. A Balanced View: We also discuss the critique of this philosophy: while great for personal cultivation, total non-resistance may not be the solution for facing societal evils or violence. Join us as we explore how to "jump out of the red fire pit" and find a cool, peaceful state of mind in a chaotic world. If you enjoyed this video, please Like, Subscribe, and Share!
