Good people and good things go wrong

There are not many movies that I can watch at once, this " Beyond the Mountain " ( După dealuri , 2012) is a rare exception, and it is the scene of "stealing the key" that I saw almost to the end of the film, I just realized suddenly...

The inexplicable sense of oppression that suddenly disappeared has been pressing on me since the close-up shot of the two girlfriends walking into the monastery and a sign at the gate of the fence not long after the film began.

Unexpectedly, as soon as my body got better, there was a dramatic reversal of the plot.

God bless! I went back to the night when my Patriarch Bodhi (Lin Caisong, 1947-2017) taught the Tao Te Ching at home:

We listened to the class and heard that it was almost time to end the get out of class, and Master Bo explained the first sentence of Lao Tzu (Li Dan, about 571 BC - 471 BC) in the Tao Te Ching, "The Tao is the Tao." And all night, Bodhisattva was in high spirits telling a story of "Lao Tzu's escape" that he obviously made up himself.

When I was puzzled, Bodhisattva gently brought out a judgment of his own: I actually did not want to leave any words for future generations.

Bodhisattva said that this is "not attacking oneself", and Lao Tzu started with the six words "the Dao can be very Dao", which clearly defined his own subsequent five thousand words as "non-'permanent Dao'".

Master Bo said that Lao Tzu wanted to go to the west in seclusion, but he was caught by Yin Xi, the "customs chief". He wanted to leave their lives, and only a few words were left so that Yin Guan could explain to him. The 5,000 words that everyone saw later were, I guess, one of Yin Xi's own "Old Dan's Notes".

In this way, the storyline is the same as that of "Journey to the West". If it wasn't for Zhu Bajie's rare carefulness, the people of China would have read the "No Words Zhenjing" long ago, instead of reading those that must go through years and months of basic education. Possibly received long and short sentences.

That night, Bodhisattva probably saw that some of us couldn't react, so he specially ordered, "If you don't really understand the words "The Dao is very Dao", you should be careful with the five thousand words in the Tao Te Ching. treat.

It took me 12 years to understand the six-character mantra of Lao Tzu to this day. But I saved the time to read "Tao Te Ching" to watch the big drama in the world, but I saw a lot of stories of playing with others and playing with myself, but I couldn't escape the plot of the movie "Beyond the Mountain": Superstitious people Harm others and harm yourself without realizing it in famous quotes. On this Hong Kong version poster I just found, it is printed with "adaptation of real events".

I am very grateful to Bodhisattva for sharing his own coup with me back then: Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy.
