Reborn mosquito, wreaking havoc on your life!

Chapter 138 Waking up from a dream, all is empty

Master Xianming continued:

“Amitabha, donor, in this world, everyone has obsessions, but the pain of obsessions is also the most difficult shackles in the world to break.

"Donor, you care about family affection, but it backfires on you. You care about love, but it hurts you all over. You care about money and status, but you end up with nothing.

"All pursuits in life are ultimately nothing but vain obsessions. The deeper the obsession, the deeper the pain."

Melania slowly lowered her head and began to reflect on her life.

Every relationship and every event she experienced seemed to confirm Master Xianming's point of view.

The more you care, the more painful it is.

Master Xianming saw that she was lost in thought and said softly:

"Amitabha, donor, when you let go of your obsessions and are no longer bound by external things, your heart will be free and peaceful.

“Just like this porcelain, no matter how delicate it is, no matter how much you love it, it will eventually turn into dust after it is broken.

“Everything in the world is like this. If you stop clinging to everything, your heart will be pure.

“In life, family, love, wealth, these are all illusory things that arise and disappear due to fate.

"In this world, everything is empty. Let go of one thought and you will be free.

"The heart is like a clear mirror, free from dust, and only then can the true nature be revealed."

These words exploded in Melania's heart like a loud bang!

It was as if a strong force broke through her long-suppressed mood.

She looked silently at the broken porcelain on the ground, as if she saw various fragments of her life.

Each piece of debris symbolizes her past pain and obsession.

Melania suddenly realized that the master was right and that perhaps she should let it go.

Melania slowly raised her head, with an indescribable look in her eyes.

"Master, I want to stay in the Zhuangyan Temple for a few days, is that ok?"

Master Xianming smiled slightly and looked at her kindly:
"Donor, according to Buddhist precepts, temples cannot allow female donors to stay overnight. Donor has a connection with Buddha, although you cannot stay in the Zhuangyan Temple, I recommend that you go to a nunnery."

Melania nodded, bowed deeply to Master Xianming, and left the Zhuangyan Temple.

Melania followed Master Xianming's advice and found a nunnery in New York to practice.

Melania stepped into this peaceful land with anticipation, wanting to seek inner peace.

In the nunnery, Melania followed the female monks in chanting scriptures, reciting Buddhist scriptures, and meditating every day.

She gradually integrated into this kind of life.

The morning sunlight shone through the window onto her face, and her heart became peaceful as she listened to the clear sound of bells and gentle scriptures.

Her thoughts drifted as she meditated, seemingly washing away the troubles of the past and stripping away the worries that lingered in her mind.

A few days passed and Melania felt a peace of mind she had never felt before.

The family love, love, money, career and status that once troubled her seemed to gradually disappear with the morning sunshine.

The simplicity and profoundness of Buddhist teachings emerged in her mind:
“Everything is empty.”

This idea took root in her heart, making her realize that life and death, existence and non-existence, good and bad are all false.

"I'm such a fool. I should have let go of these worldly ties a long time ago."

Melania realized that all her pursuit and persistence over the years were for those vain things.

What about family affection, love, money, status...

They are all just clouds.

Life does not bring it, death does not bring it.

Melania's heart is becoming clearer and clearer.

After half a month of practice, Melania felt a strong urge to become a nun and a monk.

However, when she expressed this idea to the abbess, Master Huixin.

Master Huixin said seriously:

“Donor, becoming a monk is a very serious and sacred matter, and it is not a choice that can be made on impulse.

"Master, I am serious."

Melania said firmly. Master Huixin shook her head slightly, her tone gentle but firm:
"Donor, please think carefully before you become a monk. Before that, go down the mountain and practice in the secular world. After a month, if you have made up your mind, come back to me."

Melania nodded in agreement, secretly grateful for the abbot's teachings.

After coming down the mountain, Melania returned to her former home.

The house remained the same, but her mood was different.

Everything seemed particularly empty in her eyes.

At home, Melania still maintains the habit of chanting scriptures and meditating every day.

Stay away from vanity and focus on inner cultivation.

“Have I found happiness?”

Melania asked rhetorically, looking at herself in the mirror.

Then she smiled and answered her own question:
"It doesn't matter. Everything is false. Worldly happiness is temporary, but enlightenment is eternal."

Melania got it!

She has truly seen through the world.

My heart is gradually filled with a sense of tranquility.

She often sat in the small courtyard, gazing at the green mountains and clear waters, with the rustling sound of breeze blowing through leaves in her ears, as if time had stopped here.

“It would have been great if I had practiced Buddhism earlier!”

Melania talked to herself, her heart full of regret.

Once upon a time, she also chased for fame and fortune, but now, she seems to have found her true self in this quiet place, but she also realizes that time is no longer forgiving.

Buddhism is profound and extensive, and it is not something she can study thoroughly in a day or a night.

At this moment, Melania's thoughts drifted back to her experience in the virtual game.

A thought flashed:
“Perhaps, I can experience the practice of Buddhism in the world of virtual games?”

This idea was like a ray of morning light, illuminating Melania's heart.

With this idea in mind, Melania decided to step into the virtual world again.

So she entered the virtual cabin again, and as the machine started up, her consciousness gradually became blurred.

In an instant, her consciousness traveled through time and space like a beam of light and was brought back to decades ago.

The dream ends.

……

real world.

September 1, seven o'clock in the morning.

Melania slowly opened her eyes, and the sunlight shone on her face through the curtains.

At this moment, her eyes were clearer than ever before.

Melania, who was once bound by the world, has let go of everything.

As the first lady, Melania is very busy, but she has turned down all the plans.

Without hesitation, she left the noisy world and ran towards the nunnery located in the mountains.

Her decision shocked her bodyguards and secretaries.

Wardfa?
The First Lady is going to become a nun?
Bodyguards and secretaries tried to dissuade her, but Melania was as determined as a rock and no one could convince her.

The moment she walked into the nunnery, her heart was filled with peace.

She followed the female monk in chanting scriptures and meditating, experiencing a spiritual baptism.

Feel the vastness of the universe and the inner tranquility.

At this moment, Melania felt a freedom she had never felt before.

That's how life should be.

The four elements are empty, only Buddhism is eternal.

The troubles we had in the past are nothing but floating clouds, passing by in the blink of an eye.
