He was unable to control his emotions.(不能自已)
During the early Tang dynasty in China,
there was a renowned poet and government official named Lu Zhaolin. Although he
had many good friends, his health was poor.
At the age of 40, unable to endure the
long-term torment of illness any longer, Lu Zhaolin committed suicide by drowning.
He once wrote a letter to his friends, the gist of which is as follows:
'My servant has returned from the capital,
bringing letters from you and several other friends, as well as gifts and money
to help me with my financial difficulties. I am very grateful for your help, my
good friends.'
I suddenly thought of a story from the Jin
dynasty. A famous general named Yin Hao was dismissed from his post and exiled
to a remote place after a military defeat. Yin Hao once shared the following
two passages with his nephew to express his feelings:
'If a person is very rich and powerful,
they will gather many friends around them.
If a person is poor and miserable, they
won't even see their own relatives.' After saying this, Yin Hao lost control of
his emotions and tears streamed down his face.
Everyone encounters low points in life;
even Confucius was no exception.
Reflecting on my own life, I was born into
a wealthy family, but over the years, my family has experienced many hardships.
Several of my younger brothers and sisters
died in quick succession, and I fell seriously ill too. I was the main
breadwinner for my family, and after I fell ill, my family lost a crucial
source of income.
My family owns several plots of land which
should provide us with enough food. However, in recent years, poor weather
conditions have resulted in very poor harvests, further exacerbating our
financial difficulties.
I am very grateful for the financial
assistance I have received from my cousins and friends over the years. However,
this help is only temporary. In order to truly overcome this financial
hardship, I must wait until I have recovered from my illness and returned to
work. Only then will there be any chance of improving my family's situation.
Over the past two or three years, perhaps
due to health issues, I have become interested in Buddhism. Recently, I have
wanted to build a temple to help more people understand Buddhist teachings, but
building a temple is no easy task. I often spend a lot of time and energy
worrying about the many details related to its construction.
Recently, I had a sudden realisation: the
core tenet of Buddhism is that this world is unreal; the world we live in is an
illusion. I am trying to help more people understand this, yet I worry every
day about how to build a temple that is also an illusion. My actions are truly
ridiculous.
However, since I have made a vow to
accomplish this, I should still try my best to do so.
According to Buddhist scriptures, if my
actions help others to better understand the core tenets of Buddhism, I will enjoy
great blessings. I hope to share these blessings with you, my good friends.
This idiom means being unable to control
one's emotions.
It is used to describe a state where a
person is unable to control their emotions.
Dear friend, what did you gain from this
story, and how did it inspire you? Have you ever been so overwhelmed by certain
events that you couldn't control your feelings? Who are you most grateful for
in your life?
I
hope this story gives you some new insights.
不能自已(He was unable to control his
emotions.)
中國的唐王朝初年有一個著名的詩人與官員，他的名字叫做(盧照鄰)，他有很多好朋友，但是他的身體很不健康。
盧照鄰在40歲那一年因為無法忍受長期的病痛折磨所以投水自殺，他曾經寫過一封信給他的好朋友，這封信的大概意思如下。
我的僕人從首都回來了，我的僕人帶回了你與幾個好朋友所寫給我的信件與你們要送我的禮物和你們要協助我度過經濟難關的錢回來了。我很感謝你們這幾位好朋友對我的幫助。
我突然想到晉王朝的一個歷史故事，晉王朝的一個著名的叫做殷浩的將軍因為戰爭失敗所以被免職並且被放逐到一個偏遠的地方，殷浩曾經對他的外甥說了下列兩段話來抒發他心中的感受。
一個人如果很有錢有權力，那麼這個人的周圍就會聚集著非常多的朋友。
一個人如果很貧窮很困苦，那麼這個人的周圍就連他自己親戚都看不到。
說完這兩段話後，殷浩無法控制自己激動的情緒，殷浩流下了眼淚。
我們每個人都會遭遇到一些人生中的低谷，就連孔子也不例外。
我回顧我自己的一生，我家出生在一個經濟情況很好的家庭，但是這些年來我家遭遇到很多的災難。
我有好幾個弟弟和妹妹在很段的時間內相繼離世，我又生了很嚴重的病，我是我家的重要的經濟支柱，我病倒後，我家中失去了很重要的經濟來源。
我家中有幾塊田地，這些田地原本可以供給我們足夠的糧食，但這幾年因為氣候因素我已收成非常的差，這更進一步強化的我家的經濟困難。
這些年來，我時常收到一些我的堂兄弟和你們這些好朋友的金錢接濟，我感到非常的感謝，但是你們的接濟畢竟只是短暫的，真正要走出這個經濟上的困境，還是要等我自己的病痊癒後，重新回到職場工作，我家中這種困難的情況才有可能改善。
這兩三年來，可能是因為身體的不健康，所以我開始接觸佛教。我最近想要蓋一間寺廟來幫助更多人理解佛教的思想，但是要蓋一間寺廟必不容易，我常常用花了很多精神與時間來煩惱關於建造這間寺廟的相關的許多細節。
我這幾天突然有一種反思，佛教的核心要義就是這個世界是不真實的，我們生活這個世界其實是一個幻象，我為了讓更多人理解到這個世界是幻象，所以我每天都在煩惱如何建立起這個本質上也是幻象的寺廟，我的行為真是太可笑了。
但我又想，既然我已經許下願望要完成這件事，我應該還是要盡力的去完成。
根據佛教的經典中的闡述，只要我的行為可以幫別人更加的理解佛教的核心要義，那麼我就會享受到很大的福氣，我希望且願意把這些我所得到的福氣跟你們這些好朋友一起分享。
這句成語的意思是無法控制自己激動的情緒。
這句成語被用來形容一個人處於一種無法控制自己的激動的情緒的一種狀態。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有什麼樣的或有什麼樣的啟發呢
你曾經因為那些事情激動到無法控制自己的情緒嗎?你認為的人生中，你最想感謝誰呢?
我期待這個故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
