Language is an important tool for communication between people. The so-called "a good word warms up in three winters, and a bad word hurts people in six months." Speaking good words can make people happy; speaking bad words can not only make people feel annoyed, but also have to suffer from evil karma. Talking is the most common mistake we make. If a person is hurt by a slight anger, he will cause countless sufferings.

One day, Buddha and Ananda went to the city of Raja to beg for food. After that, after that, we walked out of the city gate and saw a big deep pit beside the city gate. At that time, people in Wangshecheng abandoned their urine and defecation in this pit, and the accumulation of rainwater made the pit dirty.

In the turbid water, there was a human-shaped insect with many hands and feet. When he saw the Buddha coming, he stretched his head out of the water and looked at the Buddha with tears in his face. When the Buddha saw it, he was very compassionate. After returning to , Gridhrakuta , Ananda asked the Buddha: "World-Honored One! What kind of evil karma did the insects in the turbid water outside the city of Raja? When will they be liberated?"

The Buddha told Ananda and the public: "In the past countless kalpas, a Buddha appeared in the world to teach sentient beings. After the Buddha's Nirvana, an Brahman built a monk's house to offer to the monks. At that time, a lay Buddhist sent butter. Master Vina was angry because there were too many monks who came to hold the order, so he hid the butter and did not distribute it to other monks who came to hold the order.

bhikkhu asked, "Why don't you distribute it to me butter? "Master Vina said: "I always live here, and you are just a monk who comes here to hold a order, why should you share it with me? "The monk Guandan said, "But this is what the layman wants to offer to the present monks. "Master Vinaya cursed: "Why don't you go and eat shit and pee? Why take ghee from me! "Because of such evil words, Master Vina went to the worm in the turbid water after his death, and lived in shit and urine for countless kalpas.

The Buddha warned his disciples: "You should protect oral karma , because the disadvantages of malice are more terrible than fierce fire. We must always be grateful for the kindness of our parents and monks, and speak soft words and praises, because monks are the blessing fields that help us escape from the three realms, while parents are the most blessed fields in the three realms. "

People can't do without language when they come into contact with, contact and interact with others. Language is an extremely important tool for human communication. Language can regulate people's behavior in most cases and inspire people's love of beauty. Therefore, the Buddha said: A good word is to do good deeds, which is to stop a bad thought and stop a bad deed.

language is used to express one's own opinions, thoughts and wisdom, not to hurt people; when interacting with others, the purpose is to make others happy, happy, comfort, and encourage others, and also to exert their wisdom and compassion. When a person gets benefits, he will definitely get benefits. Otherwise, even if the language is very good, but it hurts people, it is not a good language or a righteous language.

can practice the practice method of correct language, respect everyone, and get along with anyone in harmony. If you meet an unreasonable person, you should know that it is he suffering. We should use bodhicitta and compassion, and hope that everyone will not be so stupid and troubled. Once you have such a thought, you will not use bad words to speak.
