The essential difference between giving and giving

It is said that after death, people must leave the Yang Realm and go to the Yin Realm to receive the re-release of Yama. If this person has done more good deeds before he was born, he will be allowed to be reincarnated as a human being; if he does fewer good deeds, he can only be born as an animal; if he has done bad things, he cannot be reincarnated, and can only be a ghost in the underworld.

One day, two people left the Yang Realm and came to the Yin Realm, standing trembling in front of Yan Wangye waiting for the fall. Prince Yan took up the Book of Meritorious Deeds and turned it over and said, "You two did not do anything bad when you were alive, and you are allowed to be reincarnated as human beings." ”

These two "people" were very happy to hear that they could be reincarnated as human beings.

Yama then said, "There are two kinds of human life for you two to choose from. One is 'giving', the other is 'getting': 'giving' means giving up and giving; 'getting' means taking, getting, you choose! ”

One of them thought, "Gotta" it's good! Everyone else has to give it to me. Thinking of this, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Yama, I want to live a 'gain' life." ”

Yan Wangye nodded and said to the other, "Then now you have to live a 'sacrifice' life." ”

Another "person" said, "As long as I can be reincarnated as a human being, I will." ”

As a result, the two of them soon became Yang people again. One lives a life of "renunciation" and the other lives a life of "gain".

The one who lives a "charity" life is a rich man who is charitable and often helps the people around him; the one who lives a "gets" life is a beggar who takes from others all day and survives by receiving the gifts of others.
