One day near the Spring Festival, Liu Zhiyu told his parents and friends that he would return vulgar. After taking off the monk's robe, he returned to the home of Wuhan to celebrate the New Year, and he felt like "relaxed and free, light and light".

At the age of 22, he satisfied people's imagination of genius. The International Olympic Mathematics Competition Gold Medal, Wait for Peking University, won the full scholarship of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ... But in the summer of 2010, he did not go to the United States to study, but packed his luggage up the mountain.

"Stando is a good road." Liu Zhiyu did not regret his original decision. He wanted to do some knowledge that really returned to life. "This is an important thing for me and my parents. Independence, it may be more special. "

Although he hid in the temple without seeing any visitors, the news about him was still endless. At that time, many people thought that he would become a monk's virtue, and some people always asked him if he enlightened, "as if not enlightened is a sin."

The vulgar thought wandered in his heart, because he didn't want to play Liu Zhiyu in other people's imagination. It wasn't until this year that he really removed his burden and "returned to life."

[1] "He is not like a leader"

Liu Zhiyu's office was squeezed with a lot of training institutions in a office building in Zhongguancun. The area is small and the decoration is simple. In May of this year, he went to a psychological counseling company to serve as the Minister of the Business Department and led a small team of more than ten people to develop psychological courses.

The monk can provide suggestions for colleagues almost everything, such as dividing students, arrangement assistants, designing courses questionnaires ... He still has a rare characteristics -a gentle voice and resolute decisiveness.

His management philosophy is -worked with Gan.

As soon as he joined the team, the company promised to give him 30,000 monthly salary. He was suspected that he had a lot of money and asked to drop to 20,000. Like other employees, "more than 10,000 taxes, I don’t buy a house, do not buy a car, and I do n’t want to have children. What do I want so much money? I might as well dedicate it to everyone. "

He hopes that the team will achieve a balance of income and expenditure at an early date, and hopes that everyone can get freedom, whether it is spiritual or economic.

"He is not like a leader." A employee commented.

There is no partition on Liu Zhiyu's white desk. He was sitting in the middle, and a pot of orchids were placed next to him. On this day of meeting, he was extremely busy, staring at the computer while taking the phone to reply to the message. After sitting for a long time, he stood up and paced around the table, but still raised his phone in front of him, worried about missing new news.

He did not ask the team to check in get off work, and never urged. Once a meeting, the aforementioned employee was in a bad mood, and Liu Zhiyu noticed by Liu Zhiyu. After the meeting, Liu Zhiyu also reminded her to pay more attention to rest.

"My employees are quite conscious." Liu Zhiyu said with a smile. On the weekend, a employee came to the office to work overtime, but he believed that her job could be completed at home without having to come.

In order to work convenient, he rented a more than a dozen square meters of bedrooms near the company to seize the bathroom with his roommate. In the evening, he also had to conduct an online psychological consultation. In order to rush, he chose to buy two bean paste packs to charge hunger. He wore a POLO shirt, trousers, sneakers, and backbody bags. After taking off the monk robe, he was integrated with the rushing crowd.

But Liu Zhiyu enjoys his current life -no longer the attention of everyone, with volunteer partners, the most important thing, he is doing what he likes.

It is just that he can still see the traces of the monks.

[2] "They want to invade my life"

In the past, Liu Zhiyu's life was wrapped in various expectations.

In the autumn of 2018, he left Longquan Temple and tried to find a temple to settle, but he was repeatedly touched.

Once, he borrowed in a layman's house, but was driven away for not cleaning and not poured flowers. The layman shot the unsold pot and the dead green plants into a video. Liu Zhiyu didn't say anything, and packed his luggage to leave. "At that time, self -esteem was frustrated. It should be poured. "

During that time, he moved around the temple, hotel, and layman's house, and had a sense of "flowing on the streets". Later, he could have a long -term residence by relying on another layman.

Due to overwork, most of the day, Liu Zhiyu could only spend on the bed. When he was uncomfortable, he was thirsty, and the water slipped with the esophagus, and another tumbling in his stomach. He is extremely sensitive to temperature, afraid of cold and hot, and in autumn and winter nights, it makes him even more difficult to sleep.

Over the years, Liu Zhiyu focused on psychological counseling. He lectured, met, and formed a Buddhist psychological service team. More than 20 psychological counselors and psychologists participated. A hundred times.

"I don't think I should rest. When I rest, I think that I am in the light again." Liu Zhiyu forced himself to tighten himself. Sometimes he couldn't sit up with weakness. He had to hang his phone on the bedside and lecture.

In May 2021, Liu Zhiyu was lying on the bed to participate in the online meeting of the Buddhist psychological service team. Several of them mentioned that many visitors wanted to see Liu Zhiyu. The visitors were questioned. They asked Liu Zhiyu's WeChat and wanted to contact them in person. "I'm actually a little angry, I feel that they want to invade my life." Liu Zhiyu said. A week later, he meditated on the train and felt a deep self -denial. "Maybe because it was interrupted by various personnel too many times, and the body and mind form a memory. Is it worth having quiet and peaceful? "He wrote in his description.

Liu Zhiyu gradually realized that he could not be his expectations of others. Can you become a monk, whether you can accompany you, can you be accompanied by a monk ... During that time, the vulgar thoughts often wandered in his heart.

[3] "Master is not my idol long ago"

The baggage began to superimposed from the beginning of the monk, layer by layer, until Liu Zhiyu couldn't breathe.

When he first entered Longquan Temple, Liu Zhiyu felt the gap. He once dreamed of returning to a Plato -style learning method, making academics a learning of truly returning to life, and wanted to use Buddhist science to guide more people to realize. But when he arrived at the temple, he was troubled by various trivial matters.

In addition to chanting the Buddha, the monks also need to cook and build a house, and the ability to do with Liu Zhiyu is always very slow. In the temple for 8 years, he did not even learn the wooden fish.

Compared with schools, the interpersonal relationships in the temple are more complicated. In the evening, he always forgot to turn off the lights in the toilet.

"I don't pay much attention to the details of my life, so there should be a lot of behaviors that they can't see." He commented on himself.

In 2013, Liu Zhiyu participated in the publication of the "Nanshan Law Code". Since 2014, he has moved to Shanghai, Fuqing, Tianjin and other places to collate the "eight major" systems of Nanshan Law Calcus. According to the reading habits of modern people, Published a set of 32 books, Liu Zhiyu took the initiative to be responsible for the final revision and publishing work.

Such a huge project enables his physical tolerance to the limit. When working, the body is always trembling, and lying on the table cannot be relieved.

More and more things are different from what he imagined. He wrote many reports to make suggestions, but was rejected, "Master is not my idol." Liu Zhiyu said helplessly. After leaving the temple, he was wrapped in more affairs and was unable to practice quietly.

Do you want to return vulgar? He thought for nearly half a year. He was worried that Buddhists saw him vulgar and lost confidence in Buddhism; he was also afraid that others would have more misunderstandings about him, just like 12 years ago, he entered the empty door.

Liu Zhiyu continued to discuss with friends and elders, and then decided after comprehensive choice. One day near the Spring Festival, he sent a message to his parents and friends to tell himself the vulgar decision. He took off the monk's robe, and his life was not changed, but his heart was much easier. He moved away from the residence provided by the layman. Under the introduction of a friend, he rented in Tongzhou with a lower rent.

【4】 "Being a sense of boundary"

At present, Liu Zhiyu's home has a strong public attribute. The units of the three rooms and two halls have a large terrace, and the room is spacious and bright. The living room was transformed into a Buddhist temple, and a thick straw seat was covered on the ground for more than a dozen people to meditate. There are two beds in each bedroom, and the two bedrooms in the sun are left to the layman, while Liu Zhiyu lives in the dark and small room.

Friends come to Liu Zhiyu's family every week. They meditate, practice yoga, or do small psychological activities. Liu Zhiyu didn't like to live alone. "That's too lonely." There was a cancer patient here. Liu Zhiyu often gave him acupuncture to relieve the discomfort of pain.

In Longquan Temple, Liu Zhiyu is a workaholic. He allowed himself to relax himself. He often went to the yoga museum in the community to exercise, and developed a set of meridian yoga based on the theory of Chinese medicine. He slightly proudly stated that after observing the pulse, the effect of the meridian yoga is similar to acupuncture.

After conditioning, Liu Zhiyu's body gradually improved, and he always laughed when he spoke. "After returning the vulgar, I came to play with everyone." For him, this is another kind of practice. Can find the inner tranquility, and you can also find the joy you give for everyone. "

But many years of qi deficiency still plagued him. After talking for an hour in a row, it was difficult for him to speak again.

On the morning of August 28, Liu Zhiyu's first new class started. From 8:30 to 12:30, lectures, patrols, supervision, and working for four consecutive hours, he drank water and did not answer again. Any problem. However, after 12 years, Liu Zhiyu will first solve himself when he encounters difficulties. When he solved it so much, his face would fluctuate.

During this time, Liu Zhiyu arranged 10 psychological counseling every week. Among many visitors, he also saw himself — incompatible with the classmates around him, and wanted to integrate into the class, but was isolated by everyone.

When encountering these children, Liu Zhiyu told them, "You have no problem, but you haven't met someone similar to you." Liu Zhiyu said, "I slowly communicate, these children open it and love to talk."

Liu Zhiyu remembered his childhood. When he was very young, he showed mercy on animals. He did not like meat, because he imagined the scene where animals were killed. In the third grade, his ideal is to treat the disease and save people, and find out an immortal biological method. "This is also thinking about the meaning of life." Liu Zhiyu said seriously. He has always hoped to be with others, but sometimes it is difficult to integrate. In high school, due to the unsatisfactory performance of his classmates, Liu Zhiyu took the initiative to talk to his classmates. There was a theme he talked about ten consecutive lectures. Sadly sad. "

He sought help for a psychological teacher. The teacher suggested, "To have a sense of boundary, the most important thing for everyone is to rely on themselves. You can't help others over -the -time responsibility."

"I am lucky. I knew this when I first came into contact with psychological counseling." Liu Zhiyu said that when he could not solve the problem of the visitor, he could pull himself away from negative emotions.

Looking back at the past, Liu Zhiyu never doubted, "Being a monk is a good way." He acknowledged that he was an idealist and "wanted to find a particularly pure place." At that time, he couldn't see a lot of things and held a negative evaluation of business. He believed that most merchants wanted to do anything, and he didn't want to do fine work.

On August 25, Liu Zhiyu's team organized a group building activity. The host asked them to imagine that they would be 10 years later. Before Liu Zhiyu spoke, colleagues joked: "Is there a child?" : "I am not ready to get married. Maybe 10 years later, I do some good deeds and use my main energy to enrich my heart."
