There is a feeling called heartache

Chapter 33
In an instant, he had a flash of inspiration, and he remembered what the eminent monk said, and suddenly he understood everything.

Once upon a time, there was a young man who lived in poverty with his mother.

Later, the young people became obsessed with seeking immortality and worshiping Buddha because of their distress.The mother tried to persuade her son many times when she saw that the son was obsessed with nagging and not doing farm work all day long, but the young man ignored his mother's words, and even regarded her as an obstacle to his immortality, and sometimes spoke harsh words to her.

One day, the young man heard someone say that there was an eminent monk who had attained enlightenment on a distant mountain. .

He trekked through mountains and rivers all the way, went through hardships, and finally found the eminent monk on the mountain.The eminent monk received him warmly.During the banquet, after listening to his self-report, the eminent monk was silent for a long time.When he asked the eminent monk about Buddhism, the eminent monk said: "If you want to become a Buddha, I can show you the way. After eating, you immediately go down the mountain and go all the way home. Whenever you meet someone who opens the door for you with bare feet , this person is what you call a Buddha. As long as you serve him wholeheartedly and worship him as your teacher, how difficult is it to become a Buddha?"

The young man was overjoyed after hearing this, so he thanked the eminent monk and went down the mountain happily.

On the first day, he lodged in a farmhouse. When the host opened the door for him, he took a closer look. The host had no bare feet.

The next day, he lodged in a wealthy family in a city, and no one opened the door for him barefoot.He couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

On the third day and the fourth day...he traveled all the way and lodged countless lodgings, but he never met the barefoot door opener mentioned by the eminent monk.He began to doubt the words of the eminent monk.When he was almost at home, he was completely disappointed.At dusk, he didn't stay any longer, but rushed home overnight.It was midnight when we got home.Exhausted, he knocked on the door knocker with great effort.The mother's old and frightened voice came from inside the house:

"Who is it?"

"Me, your son," he replied dejectedly.

Soon, the door opened, and the emaciated mother called his name loudly and pulled him into the house.

By the light, my mother looked at him with tears in my eyes.

At this time, he lowered his head, and suddenly found that his mother was standing barefoot on the cold ground!

In an instant, he had a flash of inspiration, and he remembered what the eminent monk said, and suddenly understood everything.

The young man burst into tears and knelt down in front of his mother with a "plop".
