"Life is a journey. What you care about is not the destination, but the scenery along the way and the mood of watching the scenery. "

We all understand this sentence, but how many people can do it?

20 18, the math genius Liu Zhiyu did it. Ignoring the views of the world, he resolutely chose to jump out of the secular world and convert to Buddhism.

First, the senior sister leads the university.

In 2007, the Department of Mathematics of Peking University welcomed Liu Zhiyu. In his memoir "My Growing Process in University", he said that the experience of studying in Peking University brought him into contact with Buddhism.

Because he knew how to do problems in high school, he seldom got in touch with people. When he went to college, he had no friends and it was difficult to get along with everyone. Over time, he likes to ask the meaning of life.

At this time, a senior became his guide, and the senior became his bridge to the Buddhist world.

Senior sister's name is Xiong Wen, majoring in art. She often takes care of lonely Liu Zhiyu. In her spare time, her senior will teach him to sing "cold flute", and within her interest, she will also talk to him about "Hua Yan Jing".

With the help of the teacher elder sister, Liu Zhiyu gradually opened his heart and joined the Agricultural Reading Society and Zen Society, which provided a channel for him to contact Longquan Temple later.

There is no doubt that Liu Zhiyu was also moved by his senior sister. He likes to help others in life and do good deeds to motivate himself every day. At this time, he already had the idea of "universal love" in Buddhism.

Liu Zhiyu later said in an interview that he wanted to study Buddhism when he was a sophomore. But if you have to finish college, you can only realize your wish after graduation.

20 10 MIT sent him a scholarship and an admission notice. He was unmoved and insisted on becoming a monk in Longquan Temple under the name of Master Xianyu.

Second, search up and down to explore the heart.

After becoming famous, he often lamented, "The world is too big to carry me; Although all beings are wide, no one can stand me. "

From small to large, his life was only learning and monotonous. The mental level of a young prodigy far exceeds that of his peers, and this loneliness makes him want to explore his own heart more.

This kind of exploration intensified and eventually got out of hand like a flood.

Liu Zhiyu thinks that parents only care about how much money he earns, not whether he is happy. What he wants most is to find his inner home. If his heart has no destination, he wanders everywhere.

Third, the status quo of child prodigy: concentrate on studying the ancient Buddhist road.

From a mathematical prodigy to a cassock, this road is also his inner exploration.

He is addicted to mathematics every day, because only mathematics can make him feel a world. He said: "This is a pure world. In this world, there is no intrigue, no intrigue, only the language of God."

Soon after, Liu Zhiyu realized that mathematics is only one aspect of thought, and culture is eternal.

He realized that culture is the foundation, and the culture in Buddhism coincides with the cultural category he wants.

It can be seen that from beginning to end, he has been drilling into his inner world, eager to discover his true self.

Today, he is still exploring his inner world, getting up at four o'clock every day, concentrating on studying the ancient Buddhist road, and living the life he wants without worldly interference.

As the name implies, "wisdom is intelligence, the source of exploring the meaning of life, and space is the universe, representing a broad vision."

It can be seen that Liu Zhiyu is full of idealism, as Mao Mu wrote in The Moon and Sixpence, "To pursue your dreams is to pursue your own bad luck. There were sixpence everywhere, but he looked up and saw the moon. "
