Don't Bekong: Master, if good deeds are not rewarded, how can we explain it?
Teacherless: Let me first ask you what is the purpose of doing good?
Don't Kong: Of course, I hope to accumulate merit and get good rewards
Teacherless: Well, that's the root of the problem, we don't have to make a deal with cause and effect when we do good deeds, good deeds are merit in themselves, and we don't have to ask for anything anymore
Don't Kong: Well, I've done good deeds, even if I don't get instant good rewards, it doesn't matter, but sometimes it brings bad consequences, right?
Teacherless: Each result has his own causes, and the evil consequences are not because of your good deeds, but the result of the convergence of causes and conditions, when you have the strength to do good, you choose silence, there may be more serious consequences, but when you are not capable enough, can not clearly judge the trade-offs, blindly "do good", subjectively intervene in the cause and effect of others, it is also inappropriate
Beckon: So at such a time, how should I choose?
Teacherless: If you have the power to do good, please don't shirk it! If you don't have the power to do good, don't force it.
Bu Kong: Well, I understand, but there are still some times, such as when I give alms to others, turn around and find that I have been deceived, and I am very unwilling in my heart.
Teacherless: How others treat me, that is his cause and effect, how I treat others, that is my practice! There is no connection between the two, if you do good without a trading mentality, then how can there be unwillingness?
Don kong: Well, thank you Master for your guidance, I figured it out...
