Speaking of Buddhism, we can hear a saying that monks often say: monks are merciful and amitabha.
For more than 20 years, a female senior in Tsinghua resolutely chose to become a monk. This incident caused a sensation as soon as it came out. Many people have doubts and doubts about this, because it is hard to believe that a female schoolmaster in Tsinghua will leave a bright future and choose to become a monk. But she ignored the secular vision, insisted on her own ideas and became a monk. It's been 25 years now, so what's her situation now?
First, the Tsinghua female schoolmaster who has become a monk.
The college entrance examination is always the most important. Our current college entrance examination is equivalent to the ancient imperial examination. Getting into a good school through the college entrance examination will determine our own future, so many people hope to get into a famous university, choose a popular major and find a good job after graduation. However, there is an enviable female schoolmaster in Tsinghua who has embarked on a completely different life from ordinary people. This Tsinghua girl is now Master Zhihong.
When choosing a major in the college entrance examination, everyone is generally very cautious. Because it is related to their employment, many people want to choose a popular major, but Master Zhihong chose a very unpopular and profound philosophy department.
More surprisingly, after graduation, he went to Haiyun Temple to become a monk, which aroused many people's doubts, but she didn't explain it.
Speaking of this sea of clouds temple, it is also very famous, because many schoolmasters have practiced here, so it is called "Xueba Master Group". Next, let's take a look at why these schoolmasters gather here.
Second, the reasons for persistence
The decision to become a monk was made slowly during her four years in college. She has thought a lot since she was a child. During her four-year study of philosophy, she often thinks about the classic question of philosophy: Who am I?
But she didn't get the answer in the book, so she thought she might get the answer in religion. She wanted to find her own direction in life, so she became a monk after graduation.
Other people choose to become monks for the same reason as her, because with the deepening of their studies, they will think about many questions, but they can't get the answers to these questions, so they will choose to look for religion.
Third, the sudden arrival of the little girl.
One night at 200 1, she met a little girl crying at the gate of the temple and brought her in. And asked the little girl some relevant information. The little girl didn't speak, and her family didn't come a few days later. Later, they found out that the little girl was abandoned by her parents because of illness. After careful consideration, Master Zhihong adopted this girl and gave her the dharma name "Dedao".
Then the little girl got better and went to school. The little girl also studied hard and was finally admitted to a Buddhist graduate school in China. Then it spread that there were many abandoned children at the gate of the temple.
Fourth, carry out good deeds to the end.
Plus the first little girl, she adopted 26 children. It is certainly not easy to bring up so many children. It is a great challenge for Master Zhihong, but she always takes good care of them. Today, when these children grow up, many of them are admitted to Buddhist colleges and universities in China voluntarily.
