Honestly speaking, as soon as I saw this theme, the first idea bursting(coming) into my mind is the familiar words "me or the phone" from my wife or my little daughter whenever I spent sort of more time on phone than what they have expected. However, when I calmed down and pondered deeply over this topic, the second idea into(occuring to) my mind is still "me or the phone" yet it is coming from my own mind and with a totally different angle and .
Why is that?
People often hear the above words from somwone who have a quite close relationship with them and are inclined to regard it as rational appeals, but they just can't do that.
I am not an exception. Today I spent more than an hour before on my phone before getting up ,(which) tired both my mind and body, especially my eyes. Although my original intention is to relax myself and to find a way to entertain, but the temptation of the phone is so strong that is out of my control. Nominally, I am the owner of the phone. Actually I reduced to be the slave of the phone. I try to struggle but there seems no way for me to break through.
What should I do?
Let's start with the words themselves. Essentially, "me or the phone" from others is a choice to make between somebody and the phone, while" me or the phone" from myself is a choice between myself and the phone. In the final analysis, it is my own choice which will affect every aspects of my life. When I think things (in) this way, my determination and confidence of conquering the powerful phone have been greatly enhanced.
Undoubtedly, the phone is wonderful (as) a tool for communication, study, work, and even everything in your life, but I am or you are the "Yidam". I strong(ly) believe that as long as this idea is deeply rooted in everyone's mind, the phone is surely unable to escape the palm of the Tathagata and the phone is under perfect control, and you will never hear the words "me or the phone" both the first moment and second moment.
Wishing you pleasure in reading this article. Thank you!
