Let’s take a look at how Sakyamuni Buddha taught: There is a group of self-righteous monks, whether in a monastery or a village, every time they eat, they will cause trouble.

Each of us hopes to gain wisdom, and many people also feel that they are wise. So what kind of people are wise? Let’s take a look at how Sakyamuni Buddha taught:

There is a group of self-righteous monks. Whether in a monastery or a village, they will cause trouble every time they eat.

One day, they saw a little novice monk and humiliated him and said, "You must pay attention! Only we are the smartest and wisest!" Then they messed up the temple where the little novice monk was, and finally left with a slap in his butt.

Buddha After knowing this, he said: "Bhikkhus, those who talk too much, insult or threaten others are not wise. Only those who do not have a grudge in their hearts and do not hurt others are wise."

Some people like to talk especially, are good at arguing with others, talk endlessly, think they are good at eloquence, and think they are wise. But the Buddha told us that such people have no wisdom, and only those who do not hold grudges in their hearts and do not harm others can have wisdom.

Why? Because wisdom is derived from a pure mind, it is the advanced wisdom inherent in one's own nature, not ordinary knowledge and knowledge. You are knowledgeable, experienced, knowledgeable, and knowledgeable, but you may not be wise. Knowledge and wisdom are two different things.

As the saying goes, "Those who are in the authorities are confused, and those who are bystanders are clear." Why? It is because the bystander's heart is relatively quiet compared to the authorities. As a bystander, if you don’t care about yourself and have a calm mind, you can see the essence of the problem relatively objectively; while as an institution, you are prone to gains and losses, mental tension, and the wisdom that is inherent in your own nature will be even more severely hindered.

People are like water. Only when they are still, can they clearly reflect the appearance of things. When the water flows slightly, the appearance of things reflected is unclear. Only when a person's mind is quiet, spotless, and without any delusions and attachments can the wisdom and virtues inherent in his own nature be revealed. That wisdom is the highest wisdom.

Why is Buddha wise? Because the Buddha is a person who has attained perfect enlightenment, he has no thoughts or any delusions or discriminations at all.

As the saying goes, "A person does not speak in a fair manner, and does not speak in a good manner." If a person's heart is calm, he will not have so much to say. If you always like to talk and don’t speak too much, it means that your heart is not calm, and your heart is not calm, and your wisdom cannot be revealed. Therefore, Lao Tzu said in the "Tao Te Ching": "Those who know do not speak, and those who speak do not know."

And those who insult and threaten others will feel even more quiet. If others ignore him, they will think that they have the upper hand and are smarter. Such people are also unwise. Those who do not hold grudges or hurt them are often indifferent and have few desires and calm minds, and these people will have wisdom.
