However, at the beginning of this month, Peking University's mathematical genius Liu Zhiyu returned to the people. Such a topic once again shocked everyone on various platforms, just as he chose to become a monk 12 years ago. In 2022, Liu Zhiyu made up his mind to go down the mountain and return to the secular world, hoping to continue his practice in another way. Different from the monastery, he chose the job of psychological consulting company this time.
After returning to secularism, Liu Zhiyu said that the relationship between temples is more complicated than that between universities. So what did he experience in the temple?
According to Liu Zhiyu, there are many strangers in the temple who don't like him. He is often squeezed out by the wicked, and the intrigue in the temple makes him feel suffocated. Even his master harassed his female disciples, which was the worst thing he could say. The rest includes misappropriation of temple public funds. After these things happened, he no longer respected his master in his heart
Originally, he wanted to pursue a quiet place when he became a monk, but after arriving at the temple, he found so many things that he felt completely different from his ideal holy land. Now he even admits that social people are easier to get along with than monks. For example, he now shares a house with people in the suburbs of Beijing, and the bathroom should be shared. Now his roommates don't take this seriously at all, but he forgot to turn off the light when he picked up the toilet in the temple, and he will also be reported by his roommates and monks. Actually, I think so. As long as there is a pure land in your heart, whether it is a career or a society, if you encounter a complex environment and repair it yourself, the surrounding environment will also change. It is true that the Buddha shines brightly, but it varies from person to person. It is not that all people who believe in Buddhism are good people, nor that all social people are bad people.
