The writer Suzen once said:
"If you are a bodhisattva, you must have the power of a lion. Only in this way can we protect our loved ones, not be bullied, and earn money to support our families. Otherwise, you have such a good temper, and others will have no bones in their eyes! Therefore, the Buddhist family has both Maitreya, who laughs to the point of madness, and Vedic, who holds a dragon wand. There is no Vajrayogini' wrath, no bodhisattva compassion. ”
Born as a human being, we must be kind, but kindness must also carry a sharp edge, on the one hand, the green lantern ancient Buddha, on the other hand, kill demons and exorcise demons, so, very good.
Wang Yangming, the founder of the "Heart Science" genre, was very sad that his birth mother died when he was thirteen years old. His stepmother was not good to him, and Wang Yangming was unhappy in his heart, and always wanted to find an opportunity to teach her a lesson.
One day Wang Yangming bought a strange bird with a terrible name, secretly hid it in her stepmother's quilt, and when she went to bed, the strange bird suddenly flew out, swirled around the house, and made a strange cry, which frightened the stepmother! Wang Yangming heard the scream and rushed to ask what was going on, and then suggested that he find a witch to see.
After hearing what had happened, the witch stared at her stepmother for a while and said, "Madame Yintang is blackened, and a great disaster is coming." The empress dowager asked why, and the witch said, "You are not kind to your son, and the spirit of his birth mother will go to the Yin Cao Mansion to sue you, and let the king of Yama send a little ghost to take you away." The empress dowager believed it to be true, knelt down and prostrated her head, confessed and repented, and from then on, she never dared to be rude to Wang Yangming again.
In fact, this was all discussed before By Wang Yangming and the witch, Wang Yangming's father, Wang Hua, saw through Wang Yangming's tricks at a glance, saw that Xiao Yangming was so shrewd, and comforted him in his heart and did not expose it.
Wang Yangming has been good at thinking about good deeds all his life and attaches great importance to filial piety, but at this moment, he often uses thunderbolt means.
He taught his disciples that the original intention of doing good deeds is not to give their own good intentions, but to stimulate good thoughts and good deeds at the same time, but also to stop the occurrence of evil thoughts and evil deeds.
Therefore, even in the face of good people, in many cases, the thunderbolt means are more bodhisattva-minded.
Behind the goodness, there must also be the domineering spirit that dominates the goodness, and if the kindness is too much, it is the lack of heart and eyes, and the humility is too much, which is weakness.
Only by your means of patience with me can I have my own good deeds.
Kindness should be given to people who deserve gratitude, and kindness should be given to the wrong person, and it becomes worthless.
There is a very famous passage, ridiculous but realistic:
Every time an office worker passes in front of a beggar, he throws five dollars, every day.
But one day he only gave one piece, and the beggar asked him why, and he said that he had a big expense and no extra money to start a family.
When the beggar heard this, he was very angry and said that he had taken my money to support a woman.
Kindness is very beautiful, so it must be given to people who know how to be grateful, as for those greedy and insufficient, inches of the little people, it is only appropriate to stay away.
Because, in the eyes of some people, if you don't help him, you are a bad person, and in the end you only end up with a thankless insult.
You have the cultivation not to hurt others, but also to have the aura of not being hurt.
If no one is protecting you, please be kind and sharp.
