天地所以能长且久者，以其不自生，故能长生。
The world is vast and everlasting, and it can live forever because it is not selfish.
昨晚一段真实的经历让我自省和醒悟：鼎益丰2017迎新年会即 将到来，我抽空做了发型。由于我过度地强调头发的卷度，使发型 师的注意力集中在头发的巻度而忽略了长度。
头发做完之后，卷度令我满意，但缺憾的是长度不够，短了一 点。想到年会的服装和发型有点不匹配，于是怨、恨、恼、怒、烦 情不自禁生出，我拿起电话把发型师批评了一顿。十多分钟之后， 我感觉到自己的行为不对，一时的怨气不正是自己执着于形象而产 生的吗？执着生怨，怨生气，气生怒，我不由得想到了发型师此刻 的感受！我心里非常难过，又拿起电话告诉发型师，有补救的办法， 可以接长，以此消除发型师的不快和愧疚。今早起床后，我再次打 电话跟发型师说了声对不起！
修行无处不在，修行二字也不是宗教的专利。所谓修行就是学习和实践，学习和实践的不断结合就是知行合一的境界。
人的欲望从五个方面产生：物质财富、男女情欲、地位名利、 饮食享受、睡眠之欲。
这五种欲望都是人的本能。是的，没错，我们正是带着五欲而 落入人间的俗人。俗人有着俗人境界的聪明才智，但是，俗人的聪 明才智都是随着以上五种欲望而产生的，都是利己的。凡是利己的， 都是不长久的。圣人老子在《道德经》中讲道：“天地所以能长且久 者，以其不自生，故能长生。”老子明确地告诉我们：天地之所以长 久地存在而不消亡，是因为天地无欲，无欲则无私。
人的财、色、名、食、睡，正好对应着生、老、病、死、苦。我们全可以效仿天地，以天地为榜样，除却五欲，天长地久。
Areal experience just last night made me introspective: Ding Yi Feng '2017 annual meeting is coming. I took the time to make a hairstyle. Because I over-stretched on the curls of the hair, the stylist's attention was focused on the curls of the hair and the length of the hair was ignored.
After the hair was finished, the curls of the hair was satisfied to me, but the length was too short. Thinking that the costumes and hairstyle for such an important annual meeting were off, I became consumed with negative emotions such as resentment, hatred, anger, and annoyance. I picked up the phone and criticized the hair stylist. After more than ten minutes, I felt my behavior was wrong. Isn't the momentary grievance caused by my own attachment to my own image? Persistent grudges, resentful anger, I could not help but think of hair stylist's feelings at the moment. I was very sad in my heart. I picked up the phone again and told the hair stylist I will find a solution to this hairstyle mishap. After getting up this morning, I called the hair stylist again and said I'm sorry!
Examples are everywhere and not just in China. The so-called practice is learning and practice. The constant combination of study and practice is the realm of combining knowledge with practice.
Human desires arise from five aspects: Material wealth; Sexual lust; Status and fame; Enjoyment of food; Desire to sleep.
These five desires are human instincts. Yes, we are the vulgar people who fall into the world with five base desires. But we are also intelligence. The five base desires lead to selfishness. But selfishness is only temporal. The sage Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching that “the world is vast and everlasting, and it can live forever because it is not selfish.” Laozi told us clearly the reason why the heaven and the earth exist for so long is because heaven and the earth have no desire.
People's wealth, sexuality, fame, food, and sleep correspond to birth, aging, illness, death, and suffering. We can imitate the heaven and the earth, follow the example of the heaven and the earth and put aside the five desires, forever.
