He had gone through a lot in his life. In the eyes of contemporaries, he seemed to have two lives which couldn't be unified. He turned from a well-groomed young man to a master of a generation who revived Nanshan Lvzong. This experience of returning from extremely gorgeous to colorless made him have a profound understanding and view of life. He was Li Shutong, Master Hong Yi. Master Hong Yi left inexhaustible spiritual wealth for the world, and his thinking is like a thick encyclopedia which will make its readers get infinite benefit. Why do we read Master Hong Yi? Master Hong Yi said, "Life is a kind of practice: even the road yesterday was bitterly painful, it is still memorable; even the present road is tiring, do not hesitate; though the future road is full of twists and turns, we still have to move on bearing responsibilities". Do not feel sad for our occupation, appearance, background and choices. Let's follow the master's footsteps to taste life blandly, fix the heart quietly and create a successful life. This book extracts the classic speeches and worldly wisdom of Master Hong Yi, combines the stories of wisdom for enlightening sentient beings, helps all sentient beings get rid of all sorts of acquisitiveness and confusion in the world, and educates people to find their true selves and clean up the soul and find a life of wisdom in Buddhism, so as to let the heart become simple and quiet. It is a reader with aura and profound knowledge to cultivate the mind.
