I read a book called "The Words and Deeds of the Desert Godfather". The godfathers in it all bring their apprentices. They twist hemp ropes or weave bamboo baskets by themselves. , and also regularly interact with other godfathers to exchange their own experiences with each other. I used to think that the godfather of the desert was a man living alone in the desert, but only later did he realize that he still had company, so his practice is not to live in isolation, but to live with people, and not to long for the acquisition of money and power, but to have fellowship with God. , spiritual satisfaction. It is very gratifying to be able to visualize the life of the godfather that I understand in the book in the movie.
Godfather Francis is not a perfect person, but he is willing to admit his imperfection, but he can gain respect from others. Sometimes, he really thinks that people who practice cultivation are a bit too arrogant. Showing a kind of stupidity, such as the little monk who gave his holy robe to others twice, he was naked, and he took a pig's foot for the health of his brother. What is the purpose to achieve? In real life, it is really difficult for people to follow this example. But the film did not evaluate the right or wrong, and did not give a clear answer, but just presented this state of cultivation.
The little monk taught the leader of the barbarian, no matter how the leader treated him, but his expression was always peaceful and gentle, his eyes were gentle, and the inner strength was so great that the leader retreated.
thank God.
