In our country, people born in this twenty years are enjoyable people, such as only children. The only child has good economic conditions from a small family, a unique position in the family, from birth to society, almost no dedication, is completely enjoyable life.
After the enjoyment type of people go to society, their ability to bear is very poor, they can't stand suffering, and they can't stand setbacks. This is the most touching point for parents.
Because at home to be coaxed, to be held to grow up, to eat the best, has been enjoying, after going to society, you also want the best, I also want the best, in a unit, who does not want the best? But inside the unit, the good things are very limited, and only the boss can enjoy.
We need to change this way of thinking, and people should learn to give, not to enjoy, not to take. Dedication is life, and it is an attitude that is beneficial to society, to individuals, and to families. And those who give, those who give, are more blessed than those who receive. Many people are unaware of this.
Only to enjoy is precisely the manifestation of no blessing, because enjoyment consumes blessings. Blessings are like money in the bank, which is limited in quantity and fixed, enjoyed more, and soon gone.
The devotee deposits money in the bank; the enjoyer withdraws the money, and the more he takes it, the less he has left. The more people who will enjoy it, the less the blessings.
There are many people in the world who are like this, the early blessings are great, enjoying the help of their parents and others, they have achieved nothing, and finally the blessings are enjoyed, and they are poor. This has been the case from ancient times to the present, and this law has never changed.
The person who enjoys it will not enjoy it all the time, and no one will always support and dedicate it to him. When we look at the people around us, we know that people who often ask, enjoy, and need to take care of him want others to help him when they have difficulties; when they have no money, they want others to support him; but when others have no money, they are indifferent, and anyone is willing to help him? Such a person will be recognized today, and tomorrow will be recognized by more and more people, and in the end no one will be willing to help him, and his blessing will end. So the blessings are accumulated in generosity.
Why do Buddhists talk about doing good and giving? Blessed are those who give, and those who give are more blessed than those who enjoy. Almsgiving means saving money and accumulating.
We are here to plant a Team of Futian. Planting a blessed field, planting at any time, can there be a harvest. People who enjoy it are harvesting at any time, there is no planting. These are two endings. Those who give away are happier than those who enjoy, not only blessed, but also happier. Because giving to others and helping others is happy in the heart, it will not be complaining.
But what about people who enjoy it? There is no such mentality, but I feel that it should be so. Those who enjoy do not produce joy, when they enjoy it, they will take, and there will be complaints in the process of taking. Give me a hundred dollars today, give less tomorrow, it will not work. We look at the children around us and know that when they are young, they are better coaxed and sent off casually; slowly grow up and understand things, it is not so easy to send, this time give a hundred yuan, the next time give ninety yuan, will not do it. Taking will only increase, people's mentality and desires will become more and more inflated, and the blessings will be less and less.
The ancients said a saying, "The most joyful for good." Only those who do good have joy in their hearts. This is a way to change lives.
People who give alms can change themselves, change their lives, and even change others. People who contribute to society are people who dedicate, people who only care for themselves, this life is mediocre.
Influential people in society are all dedicated people. The most typical representatives are: Mahatma Gandhi of India and Mother Teresa of the Catholic Church. The devotion of a nun has affected the whole world.
People who give can change others. All the people around him, even a country, even the world, many people's ideas will change because of him. This is the person who gives, can change others, this is positive energy.
We often talk about positive energy. Positive energy is most evident in those who give alms. If you have such a person around you, that is your blessing. But cherish this blessing, don't ask for it and enjoy it every day, and when you finish enjoying it, there will be nothing.
We must cherish the good karma planted in the past, be grateful, repay gratitude, and learn to give.
