He who is generous will have the blessing of a generous way.
In life, the most precious wealth is not money, nor is it status, but is rooted in the deep heart of the thick way.
Life is fickle, life is unpredictable, and the only way to find peace of mind and happiness in the short human world is to maintain a kind and generous heart.
Because the generous person can see through human nature, let go of interests, and forget the grievances.
Jin Yi wrote in the "Aphorisms":
"Practice with faithfulness and devotion, use good deeds as acceptance, and rely on lottes to know destiny."
To put it bluntly, being a human being has a deep moral spirit, and it is bound to be loyal, trustworthy, determined, and reverent in life.
In the same way, they can spread the seeds of goodness, do good deeds without leaving a name, live happily, keep their duties, and go with the flow.
1: Refuse to be greedy and cheap
In life, there are too many people who like to be greedy and cheap, so they suffer great losses and great sins in life.
In fact, people who are greedy and cheap are destined to be short-sighted and narrow-minded.
The principle of this kind of person is to give the least amount of money in exchange for the greatest return, and if there is no return, they will feel resentful.
Once upon a time, there were two families in the village, both of whom were neighbors, both of whom lived by herding cattle.
One of them often keeps their cattle in captivity in the field early every day in order to make their cattle eat a little fatter, and is very happy to see that the cows eat fat grass every day. But he didn't think that such an act would hurt someone else's crops.
So, over time, the people in the village had great opinions on this.
On the contrary, the other family did not want to be chewed on the root of the tongue, nor did it want to offend some people or waste the crops because of their temporary greed.
Therefore, the family chose to get up early every day and go to a long distance to cut the grass, tirelessly picking up the bales of grass.
A year later, the cattle in captivity had already eaten up the crops around them, and the owners did not try to feed them in any other way, and the cattle were getting thinner and thinner, and no buyer wanted to buy it.
On the contrary, each of the cattle that are always mowed to feed them is fattened and strong, and the head is sold for a good price.
It is true that the people who are eager for success and short-sighted people always like to covet the cheap in front of them, and they do not know that while they are full of thought that they can quickly obtain benefits, when they are happy to close their mouths, they also bury long-term interests because of themselves.
Being a human being is also like this, if you want to achieve short-term benefits, you will inevitably reap long-term benefits.
And the kind people, although sometimes give people a very silly, very naïve, do not understand the sinister feeling of the human heart, but they can often win to the end.
Why?
It is because these people are sensible and strong, patient and open-minded, and have a fiery heart.
It is with such a generous heart that I always follow the teachings and uphold the original intention, and finally win the respect of others and reap more generous rewards.
Being a person, cheap can not be taken, you think that winning the present, in fact, losing the future.
2: Build a long-term vision
Since you can't be greedy and cheap, and you can't be in a hurry, you must learn to create a long-term vision.
Many people, many things, are willing to face reality when they have no choice but to face the disease.
As the saying goes, people have no far-reaching worries, and if a person does not have a long-term vision, in fact, it is like a winter worm and a summer cicada, and the vision and knowledge stay in their own season.
In their lifetime, they only know one season, so they can only see the world of one season and enjoy the scenery of one season.
However, as intelligent human beings, we can feel the interpretation and transformation of everything in the world for decades.
In these processes of change, we have been able to enjoy more beautiful, more valuable and meaningful landscapes.
Henry Bergson wrote in The Meaning of Life:
"Life is always eager to make big moves, but each particular species is willing to make a small effort."
It can be seen that the instinct of life is to stay where it is and wait for change, but we can also imagine that it is precisely because some people dare to make great efforts in the process of life, and are even willing to sacrifice everything for it.
Then we see that human development has always presented a picture of prosperity.
If you want to get, you must first know how to give; if you want to gain, you must first learn to give.
There is no free breakfast, lunch and dinner in the world, and only when a person learns to pay, and is laid out in a payment with more development potential, can he win in the end.
As the Tao Te Ching says:
"What you want, you will fix with it."
Ears of rice are sown in the spring, rice can be harvested in the autumn, ten years of tree people, and hundred years of trees.
In life, people must not only figure out what kind of life they want to live as soon as possible, but also maintain the continuous improvement of literacy.
Because of this, we can learn to invest in ourselves in the process of teenagers, harvest in middle age, and enjoy happiness in old age.
3: The blessing of kindness
As the old saying goes, people are kind, and the sky is not deceived.
There is reincarnation in the Heavenly Path, and if a person is always willing to be a generous person, conscientious, down-to-earth, kind and sincere.
Then, when you sow these good deeds and good qualities, you will naturally be able to reap your own good fortune in the future.
This kind of good luck, to put it bluntly, is also accumulated by myself bit by bit, with practical actions.
Therefore, as Liu Bei said, "Do not do it with evil and small, and do not do it with good and small." "To be a person and do things, we must believe in the power of integrity, and we must believe in the power of good things and grinding."
Do our own things well and live our own days, so that we can really and continuously polish our own good qualities and excellent character.
The Ming Dynasty thinker Xue Xuan once said:
"Only width can accommodate people, only thickness can carry goods."
He who carries goods of great virtue will have the blessing of a generous way.
May you be willing to be a generous person and enjoy the blessings of kindness for the rest of your life.
