learn to be alone

 

The Bodhisattva of Wisdom incarnated as Agudengba and was born in Zixian County, Shigatse Prefecture. Agudemba was born in a noble manor, but he was the son of a serf from birth.

Agudengba is a well-known wise man in the snowy land, well-known to women and children. He is good at catching the greedy, stingy, lustful and stupid weaknesses of the rich, and uses his wisdom to cleverly punish them. Agudengba loved to tease big lamas, zongs, lords, businessmen, and rich men. He punished those who were "unkind for the sake of wealth" and "unruly", and entrusted the spiritual revenge of the serfs.

When Agudengba was chatting with hunter Chu Sanxing on the cliff, he asked Chu Sanxing: Why do you like hunting?

Chu Sanxing's answer was very strange: Because I like to be alone and don't like to show off among all living beings. Some people say I don’t fit in, and maybe that’s true. Mr. Agudemba, do you think being unsociable is a disadvantage?

Agudemba said: No, no. I don't think this is a drawback.

At this time, a group of crows flew over the cliff and returned to the woods, chirping non-stop.

Agudengba pointed at the group of crows and said to Chu Sanxing:

Look at these crows, do you know what they are chirping? Maybe he was making irresponsible remarks, talking about trivial matters about Zhang's family and Li's family's shortcomings. Crows are birds that like to flock together. We should not always think about being gregarious in real life. In the world of crows, swans are also guilty. Flies are gregarious pests, and wolves are vicious teams.

You always care about what others think of you, which is a common mentality among people in groups. But a wolf never pays attention to the opinions of a sheep. You don't need to join the group, just be yourself.

Agudengba said to Chu Sanxing again:

When we were young, the education we received was team spirit. As people often say: When three people walk together, there must be one teacher. When everyone adds fuel, the flames will rise. Later, the Italian devil proposed that "unity is strength", and this sentence became the noblest aphorism of mankind. Subsequently, gangs of rogues, bandits, and warlords formed criminal gangs. The emperors and powerful people are actually the ruling group that oppresses the people.

We used to think that having friends all over the world is the best life, but after reaching a certain age, we will find that it is actually a waste of time and life. There are many circles in life, and we don’t need to go around every circle. Many people who live alone do not have the ability to get along with others, but they have no interest in playing along. You have the ability to hunt and often travel alone in the wild. Hunting allows you to obtain a source of income and keep you away from the disputes between people. Emperors would also gather in groups to go hunting, which was just to enjoy a short period of fun in the royal gardens. There were no emperors who hunted alone in the wild. The group of people hunting with the emperor must be all slaves.

Chu Sanxing listened to Agudengba's explanation and smiled: Thank you, sir, for letting me truly understand what it means to be in a group and what it means to be alone.

Agudemba sang a song "Alone":

 

In our ordinary lives,

There will also be a lot of troubles,

That's from other people's eyes,

Comes from always wanting to be among the crowd,

A heart that can be recognized.

 

But when you can't stand others,

Others will always look down on you,

This is the normal state of human society,

Don't care about other people's opinions,

Because it will make it difficult for yourself.

 

Hunters always like to be alone,

The mountains, forests and wilderness are home,

It’s also the best place to rest,

A wise sheep does not join the pack of wolves;

Learning to be alone is the best option.
