Master Xingyun's Possession and Enjoyment

"Fertile land, eclipse geometry? There are thousands of buildings, how many feet do you sleep? " Have you ever thought about it? How much have you "owned" in this life? How much do you "enjoy"?

In terms of time, even if you "own" your life to the age of 100, have you ever "enjoyed" your leisure? Just as King Raman III of Spain reigned for 50 years, he said with infinite emotion when he left office: "My life really belongs to my own happy and leisurely days, only fourteen days! In space, you "own" thousands of beautiful houses, but have you "enjoyed" many dreamless sleeps? On earth, you "own" your family. Is your family yours? You own many occupations. Can you rely on them?

In the world, what you "own" is not necessarily what you "enjoy"; Doesn't mean you can't "enjoy" what you don't have!

I don't have any tall buildings, but I can temporarily shelter from the wind and rain under your building! I am watching and admiring the flowers and trees in your garden from a distance. It's okay!

Although you "own" a town, a county and a city; But I can "enjoy" the cool breeze and bright moon, and I can also watch the sun, the moon and the stars. I can travel around the world, I can care about the earth, and I can treat all mankind as my brothers and sisters; I "enjoy" the cosmic void, which is bigger, more and wider than you "own" a family, a town or a city.

You are a millionaire. You have billions of dollars. You build cinemas, libraries and parks. I am an ordinary person, I am a working class, but I can watch movies, read books and go for a walk in the park. I don't want to "possess" or "own", but I can have endless "enjoyment".

I don't envy you or destroy you, but praise you, help you, bless you and let you "enjoy" my goodwill and good wishes!

The highway is not mine, but I can drive on it; The plane sky is not mine either, but I can spend a little money to fly in the sky!

Think about it, I am just a lonely person, a person came to this world. All of a sudden, I have parents, brothers and sisters, teachers, friends, a country, a society, and even the universe is empty and the earth is mountains and rivers. I not only "own" these many things, but also "enjoy" the convenience they bring me; I have enjoyed so many good causes and good deeds that the world has given me. So, how can I not thank and bless those who "have"?
