The monk's Mathematics Genius went down the mountain: the most intuitive experience of returning to the world is to face overtime

"Today, the company reached a bronze statue of Wang Yangming. We felt too cold and decorative for him." In April 2022, Liu Zhiyu posted such a circle of friends. In the picture, the serious Wang Yangming statue was placed on the picture. Many cute plush toys are a bit nonsense, and they are really no longer "cold".

Liu Zhiyu is his original name. He used to have a method "Master Xianyu", and both of them have been on the media headlines. In 2006, 18 -year -old Liu Zhiyu, as the gold medal player of the International Mathematical Olympic Competition, was sent to Peking University Mathematics and became the famous "juvenile genius" at that time. In 2010, on the eve of graduation of college, he chose to go to Longquan Temple in the western suburbs of Beijing as a monk. Two news caused heated media discussions.

In the hearts of the public, Liu Zhiyu has always been a genius with a high realm. However, after the incident of the Master of Longquan Temple in Longquan Temple in 2018, Liu Zhiyu decided to leave Longquan Temple and keep the monk's identity out of the way. He has traveled in several other temples for a few years. In August this year, in a short video, Liu Zhiyu announced to everyone that he had returned to the Spring Festival in 2022 and was engaged in psychological counseling in "Huaxia Psychology".

"I have been out of home, and now I am here to play with everyone." When it comes to the word "play", he shows the true nature of young people and smiles very happily. From his perspective, this "play" is also another practice.

work

Liu Zhiyu worked in a building near Zhongguancun Metro Station. His image of taking off his robe was not much changed, but he was slightly stronger than before. He wore a simple dark blue T -shirt and jeans, kept inch, and when he didn't speak, he looked very quiet as ever.

Here is only one stop from his alma mater Peking University. The crowds on the road will not be noticed by too many people. In the years when he had just arrived at Peking University, many shops in this building were selling the latest electronic products and computer accessories. Around 2012, social media rose, smartphones replaced computers, e -commerce replaced traditional shops, the fate of this building began to change, and the shop became a entrepreneurial cafe. Time has moved, and now, another cafe has fallen into a standard office space, and many education companies and psychological counseling companies are located in it.

Regarding the wave of business in Zhongguancun several times, Liu Zhiyu didn't seem to know which wave he had been caught up this time, but he was satisfied with the current living environment. The windows are clear in the office. There are white desks and chairs. The conference rooms and stations are open. Some people discuss the problems at the table of the conference room all afternoon, and some people shrink in their own stations to concentrate on typing.

Liu Zhiyu wrote down his score in his heart about "Huaxia Xinyuan's first team workshop".

Liu Zhiyu talked with clear thinking, but he was relatively easy to get tired than others. After about an hour of communication, he would take the initiative to break his words and say that he needs to rest. He will show strong logic in a short conversation, rational and friendly attitude, and sometimes a small "stalk". His expression was more cheerful than in the past. When he was in Longquan Temple, he was already weak because of his overwork. He was less than 50 kilograms. After returning this year, his weight had returned to more than 60 kilograms.

Although Liu Zhiyu, who has only started to work in recent months, has started to work in recent months, it is no stranger to the state of "work". On the mountain, his transactional work is a lot at all. Before leaving Longquan Temple in 2018, he began to register a public account and explore himself as a psychological counselor. Now, he must often receive group consultation and personal consultation, and also arrange recording of psychological and learning ability courses, which is more busy than himself when he is engaged in consulting.

Back to this real world, the most intuitive experience is to face overtime. In order to produce more interaction with users, he needs to record a lot of video courses. A few days ago, many colleagues worked overtime until late at night in order to help him make courses, which made him a bit unbearable. "You see, they haven't come today, they are resting."

The "Mountain on the Mountain" is not clean

Ten years ago, when Liu Zhiyu "went up the mountain", Longquan Temple in the western suburbs of Beijing was quite influential among college students in Beijing. At that time, more than a dozen high -ranking students who graduated from Tsinghua, Peking University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Beihang University, including him, chose to become a monk here, and once became a hot topic in the media. They have also become the golden signboard that attracts believers in this temple. From the perspective of outsiders, the monks can use mobile phones and iPads, and use robots to answer the faith in Longquan Temple, which is the most advanced and interested temple in China.

At that time, Liu Zhiyu met Longquan Temple during the confusion of life. He once studied at the Chinese Middle School of Wuhan and participated in mathematics competition training from an early age. He is the most promising "seed player" to win the International Mathematical Olympics Award. In July 2006, Liu Zhiyu, who was studying in high school, won the gold medal in the International Olympic Contest held that year. This result was a historic breakthrough to his alma mater, and before, he had obtained the qualifications of the Department of Mathematics of Peking University.

In the opinion of outsiders, Liu Zhiyu has embarked on an academic Avenue, but his physical and mental crisis has long begun to emerge. He suffered from eye diseases in high school, was blind, and could not read books for a long time. This Olympic gold medal is the result of relying on his only vision, and the result of his mother's insistence on training for him every night. He also said that the gold medal of the competition is the need for the school, not his own needs. After entering Peking University, Liu Zhiyu's results are still at the forefront, but eye diseases are not cured. Compared to other classmates, mathematics is no longer a talent for his hand, but to give the skills to maintain hard to maintain. He lost his initial enthusiasm. In the freshman year, he joined the community of Peking University to share the traditional culture. Earlier, Deng Wenqing, the founding president of Peking University's Geng University, went to Longquan Temple. Therefore, many people think that the increasingly persistent Liu Zhiyu will also embark on the road of brother. In the senior year, Liu Zhiyu applied for a full scholarship from MIT with his parents' support. It was not until the old man saw the media report that he learned that his son's real choice was a monk. They came to Beijing to stop and persuade them, but did not succeed.

The days after becoming a monk are not clean. Even if the green light ancient Buddha in the temple is clever than the environment in the city, but in the mountains, these monks must go to the morning hall at 4:30 in the morning, work or study in the morning, and continue after lunch at 1:30 to continue after lunch. Work and study, go to the evening hall at 4:30, and you can only rest until 9 pm. For a while, in addition to daily affairs, he also had to participate in the construction of the house in the temple. He had to stare at the operation of the construction site at 1 to 3 o'clock in the middle of the night. He couldn't get up for a few hours and got up.

False is Liu Zhiyu's most often revealed feelings when he mentioned the living of the temple. It is labor and labor. He used to do the publishing of religious books for Longquan Temple. He was extremely serious. He worked for 12 hours a day, but finally could not get a normal signature. The health problem caused by overwork has always troubled him. If it is, the body is in a state of long -term consumption.

However, Liu Zhiyu has always agreed with Longquan Temple's use of high -tech means to preach the Dharma. After leaving Longquan Temple, he went to other temples to investigate a brief investigation and want to see if those places are suitable for his own practice. As a result, he failed to satisfy him. Few temples can develop such a modern management model like Longquan Temple, with such new ideas. "(In other temples), I can't find a place where I can show my ambitions, and I can't find it." He repeated.

From "Master" to a psychological counselor

When he first became a monk, Liu Zhiyu cut off his relationship with his parents at the request of the temple class instructor. Later, their connection gradually recovered. As for the reason, he did not disclose. In 2015, Liu Zhiyu's mother retired and began to contact psychology. She was qualified for psychological counselor and often recommended this book to Liu Zhiyu. Liu Zhiyu began to read these books, and also began to try to answer questions with some psychological methods on the sisters of the monk group.

A long time ago, a believers asked him to seek psychological questions. He persuaded the other party to say that she was inadequate and let her come again five years later. As a result, the believers really came back to ask him the same question five years later, but he still failed to answer. He began to reflect, how can he associate with this society and others?

Once, Liu Zhiyu had no demand for such a strong psychological connection with the real society and other people. He was obsessed with the world of mathematics in his early years, and then obsessed with Buddhism. These things have absolute rationality and closed aesthetics, and are not related to reality. And his dedication to truth, high morality, altruisticness in character, and attracted a group of people to gather beside him.

He feels that psychology may be an option that allows himself to find the answer. In 2017, Liu Zhiyu obtained a certificate from a psychological counselor, opened a public account in 2018, and started online consultation. From then on, his behavior was not like a typical monk, and he seemed a bit out of rebellion. Since 2018, he started to participate in some psychological training courses outside the temple. Generally, when he came out, his mother would come from Wuhan to see him and eat a meal. He also began to try some interviews to promote the "Buddhist psychological counseling" project.

At the beginning, Liu Zhiyu did not collect money for consultation, but there were more people who came. He found that free consultation would attract some cheap and unsteady people. In addition, after the Master of the Master of Longquan Temple, some laymen and monks worked with him. He also started to think about how to do it to let everyone support himself. According to the Buddhist precepts, Liu Zhiyu, the monk's identity, cannot directly accept money. The only way to operate a psychological studio is to reward a part of the public account, plus the funds sponsored by other Buddhist believers to operate. In fact, what he did is not much different from a entrepreneur. And he still insists on not being vulgar, and still wants to find a "two" way.

In 2022, Liu Zhiyu finally gave up. "A little fate, I think everyone may have his own ceiling." He told China News Weekly. He felt that he should restore physical strength and spirit within his ability, and then chase ideals. He decided to return vulgarity. For the vulgar, some psychological counseling and education companies came to invite him to join the job. In the end, he accepted the invitation of Huaxia's psychological psychology.

Team workshop, Liu Zhiyu is the host.

Psychological counseling has become the key to opening the world, and the person who calls for help makes him see the distress of all beings, and also satisfy his nature. Among visitors, the number of interpersonal relationships is the most. He saw many people overdoing in love, parent -child, and teacher -student relationships, blindly pleading, and suppressing their true feelings. Among the highly educated talents he knows, there are many psychological problems. Many masters and doctors are worried about how to communicate with the mentor and even caught in depression.

"I used to be such a person, so I can understand them very well." Liu Zhiyu said. His father was a physics teacher, and his mother was an engineer. His high school teacher Jiang Bridge has recalled that he has been experimenting with experiments from his childhood, and his learning conditions are better than everyone. When he was in college, Liu Zhiyu's vision was still bad. In order to help him learn, his mother in Wuhan helped him read a mathematical textbook and made a tape to Beijing. He would often come to Beijing to take care of his life in his free time. Many years of feelings, even when he became a monk, he could not really break the insulation with his parents.

Later, he and his parents reached some kind of understanding and tacit understanding. When he just founded a psychological counseling studio, he also wanted to ask his parents to be a corporate legal person for him who had not yet returned. Today, he often greets with his parents, but rarely interfere with each other, and he feels so good.

The answer in ordinary life

Liu Zhiyu's colleague of Huaxia's psychology, Xiaolin, became a media background. When she didn't know Liu Zhiyu, she felt that he should be the image of a high -person person, and did not eat the fireworks of the world. What she didn't expect was that at the beginning of the acquaintance, Liu Zhiyu began to discuss the characters in the classic Japanese cartoons. She found that he was a very normal and even some little interesting young people.

After returning the vulgar, Liu Zhiyu is still a Buddhist layman. Except for some necessary Buddhist precepts, he can do anything he wants to do. After work, his daily life is similar to all young white -collar workers. Now, he shall rent with others. The live broadcast and lectures are very busy. There is almost no time to cook by himself. He will go to the convenience store to buy two plain buns in the morning. At noon, you will take a vegetarian meal for sale. After ordering a few times Vegetarian meals are usually more than 50 yuan, which is more expensive than ordinary takeaway.

In 2022, Liu Zhiyu meets offline with students in Beijing.

Longquan Temple has always been open to technology, so he is no stranger to social media after he goes down the mountain. However, he has a monk experience, and his understanding of some things is slightly different from others. For example, WeChat's transfer function made him quite interested, because monks could not touch money, but this function made money flowing around the software without being handed through people's hands. "Everything is given to‘ Ma Huateng ’, I do n’t have to spend money." He joked.

Life under the mountain is also uncomfortable. Liu Zhiyu said that he was not enough to adapt to many things. In order to promote his psychological open class, colleagues suggest that free PDF books can be given to users. After hearing it, he was unhappy and said to his colleagues, "Isn't PDF piracy? How can we send this?" In addition, he felt exaggerated to the advertisement words of the publicity course, and told his colleagues to change it quickly to change the way out to change off. Essence He felt that these things were all principled issues.

His once -obsessed mathematics was not deserted and still played a role in his work. Among the visitors, there are some teenagers who have lost their interest in learning. He pays special attention to them. He does not want to turn them into a machine. He uses the APP game to check in to help maintain their enthusiasm for learning. This special perspective also reflects the experience of losing enthusiasm for mathematics due to eye diseases in adolescence. Liu Zhiyu's brothers and sisters who graduated from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Chinese Academy of Sciences and other universities were exploring their way out after the Longquan Temple incident. At present, there are about two ways to go out: some people have found the temples in the field to continue practicing, and the other part is like him. They are vulgar and find new positioning. Now it seems that Liu Zhiyu, who seemed to be "rebellious" four years ago, was a stumble and found his own position earlier.

"People can have more happiness in the middle of the relationship. You emphasize yourself too much, and often oppose others. In fact, there is no happiness." Liu Zhiyu talked about these. Now, in addition to work, he will do yoga in his spare time, and will walk around in a bicycle. He raised orchids in the office, and he would take a picture of a detection tube during nucleic acid testing as many people. Send a circle of friends that today he is "tube". He has gained some happiness in this ordinary life.
