A young man always complains that he is not lucky enough to make money. I was frowning all day long. On that day, a monk with white hair and beard came to
asked him: "Young man, why are you unhappy?"
"I don't understand why I am always so poor."
"Poor? Are you very rich." The old monk said sincerely.
"Where does this start?" asked the young man.
The old monk did not answer directly, and asked back: If you cut off one of your fingers today and give you one thousand yuan, would you do it? "
Don't do
" Cut off one of your hands and give you 10,000 yuan, will you do it? ""No." "
" will make you become an 80-year-old man immediately. I will give you one million, will you do it? "
" does not do it. "
" will make you die immediately, give you ten million, will you do it? ”
” will not do it. "
" That's right. You have already gained more than 10 million in wealth, why do you still sigh that you are poor? "The old monk asked with a smile.
A man came to the Buddha from afar and said to the Buddha, "I have been looking for happiness for many years, leaving my hometown, looking for him everywhere." Some people say that he is in the cool breeze on the top of the mountain, some people say that he is in the oasis of the desert, in the tranquility of the Zen temple, and in the laughter of the slums.
The Buddha asked, have you found it?
has not been found.
The Buddha did not answer him, but just looked quietly in the distance.
In the distance, the deep blue sky was covered with colorful clouds, and the beautiful birds sang heartily on the trees. The golden light of the setting sun shone on the green grass, and the children played on the grass. But this man was very depressed and full of sorrow.
After a while, he left the Buddha decadently and went to find happiness again.
Stop complaining about life, don’t complain about bad luck, and don’t blame others. Be cautious of yourself and the capital that cannot be bought with money is youth. The body is a machine that keeps running, because youth is brand new. As long as you operate properly, you will create value. Don’t be depressed. We often try our best to find happiness. In fact, the flowers, plants and trees around us are flowing, and laughter never stop telling us the happiness of the world.
