A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

As long as you are in this world, no matter whether you are practicing or doing anything else, you always have to solve the problems of food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

Let's not talk about the scammers for now. For those who are truly capable, if they can have others lay the foundation for them, what would have taken them dozens of times or even consumed their own hard-earned abilities to accomplish can now be accomplished with just a little effort.

Under such circumstances, few people would help to prevent certain situations, at least unless they happened in front of them.

To say whether a practitioner with a great reputation is a liar or whether this person has the ability.

This topic is the same as discussing whether traditional martial arts can be used in combat.

You say it can be used in fighting, but countless modern fighting enthusiasts have come out to object, saying that those are just fancy moves, routines for health performances, and they cannot be used in fighting at all.

If you say that it cannot be fought, there will be countless people who will come forward to give examples of who said it cannot be fought.

If you haven't met real kung fu and a good teacher, then you really can't fight. Then there are various examples.

As the saying goes, no matter how good your kung fu is, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife; no matter how good your martial arts are, you can be knocked down by a brick.

Traditional martial arts are definitely useful, but just like practicing martial arts, the most important thing is to see who is teaching and who is practicing.

It is still the same old saying, "The master can only lead you to the door, but the practice is up to you." Talent is really important in practicing martial arts. People with talent can do it effortlessly and master it at a glance.

But those without talent can only fight to improve their physical fitness. Talent is actually the mentality, physical fitness, and the ability to understand new things.

In fact, it doesn't matter what a talented person practices, whether it's martial arts, spiritual practice, or even learning something. Of course, the master is also very important. In addition to having talent and learning, he must also be able to teach, that is, express himself well.

Many people's impression of traditional martial arts is just boxing routines, and they think that they are flashy and impractical. This is normal. After all, in today's traditional martial arts competitions, if you watch on short video platforms, every contestant looks like they are dancing and jumping around.

If you think that by practicing a few routines you can defeat strong men in the ring and be invincible against street thugs in real life, just like in the movies or stories, that is impossible.

No matter when, the real masters of traditional martial arts can be seen in those documentaries or photos as having strong shoulders and big waists.

Everyone's skills are very solid. Not to mention knowing the moves, even if they don't, a casual hit from their big arms would make ordinary people lie down for a long time.

In the final analysis, the boxing routine is to show the enemy's moves in a performance or coherent way. Then practice again and again, engrave each move into your bones. After that, when fighting the enemy, you can hit the opponent more smoothly.

Just like driving screws in a factory, you can chat with your eyes closed without interrupting your work, it is all subconscious action. Most of the truly useful boxing routines are dull and even boring.

Traditional martial arts are indeed useful, but based on the current trend, people feel that the effort and reward are not proportional, and they are more about strengthening the body and looking cool.

If we have to talk about fighting the enemy in battle, leaving aside the use of weapons, traditional martial arts are all about some despicable methods, such as poking eyes, blocking throats, kicking younger brothers, etc.

What is taught in actual combat is to hit the opponent's vital points directly, emphasizing on defeating the enemy with one move. Although it is easy to use, most of the time, not only will you have to pay money, but you will also violate the law and go to jail.

No matter which style, such as boxing, Sanda, judo, etc., they are all products under specific rules. If you ask a judo master to fight Sanda, or ask a Sanda practitioner to participate in a judo competition, what he has learned will basically be useless or impossible to use.

If you fight against others in this situation, you will naturally be at a disadvantage.

When practicing traditional martial arts with a master teaching you the moves, what you practice are methods of exerting force, and these methods of exerting force are used to hit the opponent's vital points.

If a traditional martial artist goes to a ring and fights according to the rules, he will definitely lose. But if a street fight goes crazy and there are no rules, it will be a completely different situation.

If a person is physically strong, he can fight vigorously even if he has not practiced anything. It is said that the young and strong are the weakest fighters, and the turtle punch can kill the old fighter.

No matter what you train, there is really no solution to the crushing of weight and physical fitness. People always think that thin and flexible people can rely on "agility" to make larger opponents run around in circles.

But in reality, the difference between skinny and big guys is nothing. There is no solution to the suppression of size, and even if you can occasionally win, it depends on hard work and luck.

Society is relatively stable now. No matter what you study, no one will take action unless it is absolutely necessary. The right thing to do is to call the police when something happens.

Speaking of spiritual practice, the real spiritual practice is not about sitting in meditation, eating vegetarian food, chanting mantras, listening to music, etc., but about constantly improving one's right knowledge and right mindfulness, so that one can experience things and temper one's mind within the scope of Tao.

If the skills are not within the scope of Tao, it means that you should not always work hard on methods. No matter how many methods you have learned, if your concepts are not changed and are not within the scope of Tao, it will be useless. Instead, it will be counterproductive and have a counterproductive effect.

Many people, under the guise of seeking wisdom, appear to be doing their homework, either in groups of three or five, or alone, looking for a quiet place, but in fact they are escaping. Since ancient times, all wise men have tempered their minds by experiencing things in the world.

The so-called tempering the mind through experiencing things means that in the process of doing things, don't always pay attention to the results. The results are not the purpose of doing things. The purpose of doing things is to temper the mind. As long as you are not greedy or demanding, do your best, keep your emotions stable, maintain good thoughts, and keep to the middle way and unity, then the results will not be too bad.

Human nature is to seek benefits and avoid harm. When people are in their comfort zone, they rarely take the initiative to jump out and embrace pain, unless they have to do so. Even then, they will still choose to escape.

It cannot be said that poetry, tea ceremony and other things cannot play a role in spiritual practice, but those are superficial practices and cannot fundamentally change a person's inner temperament. Appearance is determined by the heart. Even if the appearance becomes tranquil and calm, if the inner resilience is not exercised, the true nature will be revealed when encountering problems.

The real practice is always on the road and does not depend on external forms. The hardships of life, the blows of failure, the tempering of gains and losses, the turmoil of emotions, and the repeated failures of things going against one's wishes are all the best practices. Only by enduring the pain of disappointment and suffering can one truly experience the true meaning of practice.

Of course, it is easy to talk without any pain. When you are not worried about money, you will naturally choose the path that is most beneficial to you and the brightest path.

On the other hand, if a practitioner has not even solved the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation, in this case, it is somewhat unrealistic to expect him to have power but not use it to change his life.

We are not saints. No matter what we learn, we must learn it for a purpose.
