Liu Zhiyu, who graduated from Peking University, is very talented in mathematics. When he was in high school, he won the gold medal for China in the international Olympic Games. After graduating from Peking University, the math genius gave up the admission notice from MIT and insisted on becoming a monk in a temple despite the dissuasion of his family. Now that Liu Zhiyu has returned to the secular world, many people are curious about his experience in recent years.
After graduating from Peking University, he devoted himself to studying Buddhism.
There are many famous temples in China, but the most famous one is Longquan Temple. Although it is a temple, all the monks here are scholars. Master Qi Xian, Master Zen Star, Master Xian Qing and Master Xian Wei all graduated from the prestigious Peking University Tsinghua, and many of them have well-known doctors in their professional fields.
Liu Zhiyu became a monk in Longquan Temple, and his legal name was Master Xianyu. When he decided to become a monk, he had just received an acceptance letter and a full scholarship from MIT.
After entering Longquan Temple, Liu Zhiyu kept a very regular routine every day, usually having breakfast at 4: 30 and going back to his room to rest after playing the board at 9: 20 in the evening.
I put a lot of energy into studying Buddhism and psychology in the temple, and obtained the third-level psychological consultant license on 20 17.
In order to help others solve problems, he also specially set up a counseling path called Buddhist psychological counseling on the Internet to help people with psychological problems.
Become famous at a young age and show your talent in mathematics.
Liu Zhiyu was born in Wuhan, and he was very clever since he was a child. Unlike other naughty children, he is very introverted and doesn't like to communicate with others.
What makes Liu Zhiyu gradually enter the public eye is his super mathematical talent, perhaps because he is not good at words. Liu Zhiyu has few friends, and he spends most of his time reading and studying silently.
Since childhood, Liu Zhiyu has a soft spot for mathematics. He can not only understand advanced mathematics knowledge, but also use it flexibly. When he was a freshman, Liu Zhiyu published a paper entitled "Power Series and Introduction", which was not only highly praised by experts in mathematics, but also won a grand prize in Hubei Province.
When he was a sophomore, Liu Zhiyu had already participated in the Mathematical Olympic Round robin on behalf of the national team, and won a gold medal in the competition. In senior three, he won the gold medal for the national team in the Mathematical Olympiad. ...
Liu Zhiyu stands out among his peers because of his super-high mathematical talent, and some people even call him a mathematical prodigy directly.
Liu Zhiyu won many prizes at an early age, not only in mathematics, but also in other subjects, and was finally sent directly to the Mathematics Department of Peking University. After entering Peking University, under the leadership of famous teachers, Liu Zhiyu participated in many national mathematics competitions and won prizes with excellent results.
Contact with Buddhism, eager for liberation
Although he won many awards and became a mathematical genius in the eyes of the public, Liu Zhiyu was very confused. He felt that the competitions he participated in and the awards he won were meaningless, and he could neither get happiness from them nor influence others.
At that time, Liu Zhiyu was very negative. His heart is so confused that he doesn't even know what he really wants.
In freshman year, students will join various societies. A student introduced Liu Zhiyu to the Zen Society and the Agricultural Reading Association in Peking University. These two societies are very different among many societies, and both have certain connections with Buddhism. It is said that the three presidents of the farming and reading society are all Buddhists.
At first, Liu Zhiyu entered the community with some doubts. Liu Zhiyu was shocked when he first came into contact with Buddhism. He found a place to live in Buddhist scriptures and gradually developed the idea of relying on Buddhism.
After joining the Zen Society of Peking University, Liu Zhiyu not only began to live according to the monk's lifestyle every day, but also only ate vegetarian dishes. Besides attending classes every day, Liu Zhiyu is still studying Buddhism.
Liu Zhiyu, who didn't like to participate in group activities, began to participate in various Buddhist activities frequently. He will also take the initiative to seek the help of monks and often volunteer in temples.
Give up MIT and become a monk
Liu Zhiyu's parents have always had great expectations of him. After graduating from Peking University, they encouraged Liu Zhiyu to pursue further studies. Liu Zhiyu knew that it was not easy for his parents to support themselves. Although he has firmly decided to enter the temple and convert to Buddhism, in order to make his parents happy, he was finally admitted to MIT.
After graduating from Peking University, Liu Zhiyu not only got a notice from MIT, but also got a full scholarship from the university.
When parents were so proud of their son, Liu Zhiyu finally told them his inner thoughts-to go to a temple to be a monk and concentrate on studying Buddhism. Liu Zhiyu's decision was a great blow to his parents, who never thought that their always clever son would have such a rebellious idea in his mind.
Liu Zhiyu knew that he was sorry for his parents' upbringing for many years, but he didn't want to give up his plan easily. Parents earnestly persuaded Liu Zhiyu to change his mind, and his mother even threatened him with death, but Liu Zhiyu was unmoved and insisted on believing in Buddhism. In the end, his parents could not forget Liu Zhiyu, and he entered Longquan Temple as a monk as he wished.
Help others and become a psychiatrist.
Liu Zhiyu's life in Longquan Temple is extremely self-disciplined and diligent. He delves into the scriptures every day and has a great understanding of some Buddhist scriptures. Inspired by the scriptures, he also taught himself a lot of psychological knowledge and often helped many people who went to temples to solve problems.
Just when people thought that Liu Zhiyu would spend the rest of his life in a temple, Liu Zhiyu, who had been a monk for eight years, decided to return to society.
During his eight years as a monk, Liu Zhiyu didn't get along well with other monks, and he often disagreed on many points of view.
What made Liu Zhiyu finally make up his mind to return to the secular world was the exposure of an ugly scandal. A monk highly respected by Liu Zhiyu often harassed female disciples behind his back. Liu Zhiyu was very disappointed after learning the news. It was hard to accept the disillusionment of his idol and finally decided to return to society.
During his eight years as a monk, Liu Zhiyu learned a lot from Buddhism. Although he is no longer a monk, Liu Zhiyu still keeps the good habit of work and rest he developed in the temple.
Becoming an Olympic champion is his choice, and becoming a monk is also his choice.
Today, Liu Zhiyu has become a psychologist, often helping people to consult psychological problems, and many people have walked out of the predicament under the guidance of Liu Zhiyu.
If Liu Zhiyu hadn't become a monk, he might have done something in mathematics. Many people feel sorry for Liu Zhiyu, but this is unnecessary. Liu Zhiyu just chose to live in his own way. He lived for himself all his life and always held the initiative in life. It is not easy to do this.
