Buddhism often talks about "empty nature of dependent origination". Does this idea have anything to do with our happy life? It teaches us to understand things correctly, gain correct faith, follow the right path, and gain a happy life.

Buddhism often says " Dependent Origination is Emptiness". Does this kind of thinking have anything to do with our happy life? The relationship is huge. It teaches us to understand things correctly, gain correct faith, follow the right path, and gain a happy life.

What are "dependent origination" and "emptiness of nature"? We often hear that "form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, form is emptiness, emptiness is color", or when we see someone becoming a monk, we will say that he "escaped into Buddhism". So what does this emptiness mean? Why do we say that "all dharmas arise from causes and conditions, I say they are empty, their names are false, they are also the middle way"? This means that all dharmas arise from the combination of causes and conditions, just like seeds must have water, air, soil, sunlight and other causes and conditions to germinate, and none of them can be missing. And everything in the world will eventually perish due to the separation of causes and conditions. This is the fundamental "emptiness" nature that dominates all things.

Since the existence of a thing must be composed of many causes and conditions, similarly, if we want to do a good business, we must first have funds, secondly, we must have employees, thirdly, we must have customers, fourthly, we must have a location, fifthly, we must have equipment, sixthly, we must have technology, etc. With these causal conditions, your store can be opened. All these things are conditions for the rise of things. It can be seen from this that nothing in the world is isolated or exists alone, but exists due to the combination of causes and conditions. When we understand the principle of harmony of causes and conditions, we know that if we want to do something, we cannot do it by ourselves. We must unite everyone's strength to complete it together. Sometimes we think that we are very smart and great, and think that others are incapable of doing it, and only I can do it. When you have this idea, you violate the law of cause and effect.

Now that we have understood the principle of harmony of causes and conditions, we should further ask how to seek causes and conditions? This also involves a topic that is often mentioned in our current enterprises, called corporate culture. Corporate culture can help you build a platform of karma and help you achieve your vision with twice the result with half the effort. In an enterprise, culture is actually the boss's personality charm and his style. What kind of style and charisma you have will attract what kind of teams to join your company and work together.

So where is the boss’s personality charm reflected? Have you ever thought about always reviewing your thoughts, morals, beliefs, and behaviors? Everyone is a brand. You can attract people with the same frequency based on what each person is like in the minds of others. Therefore, as a leader, mind, personality, morality, and concepts are all very important. If you cannot correct yourself at all times, the road ahead will become increasingly difficult. The bigger my brand is, the greater the weight of a ship is, and your cultivation is the depth of the waters in which the ship travels. Without virtue, the ship will run aground. Only when you cultivate yourself to the point where you can tolerate all things like the ocean, will it be possible for the corporate ship to sail more smoothly.

If we just want to expand the market in the shortest time, and your team and quality are not that deep, then any disturbance in the market will affect your confidence. This is a very simple principle. From the growth of a tree or the sailing of a ship, we can "look up at the sky and look down at the chapters", understand the principles of business management, and even understand the principles of life.

All industries generally operate around the four aspects of people's clothing, food, housing and transportation. When you understand this truth, you will find that a person's life, birth, old age, illness and death, is nothing more than a process of birth, existence, change and death. No matter how big your business is today, if your business shrinks tomorrow, do you still find this gap unbearable? Life is a process, will our final outcome be different? No. Tongue is not just aspiration to the other side, so why are you still persistent? This is the "emptiness of nature" caused by "dependent origination".

"Existence" in this world is not ultimate, so Buddhism calls it "false existence". Only "emptiness" is the ultimate.Therefore we say: "All conditioned phenomena are like dreams and phantoms, like dew and lightning, and should be observed in this way." When you understand this principle, you will know how to calm yourself; when you can calm yourself, you can concentrate on what you want to do. If you don't understand this principle, it will be difficult to keep your heart at ease in life, and you will do many things that make you do nothing. For example, if you have no goals and follow the trend, you will do hairdressing today, beautician tomorrow, and real estate the day after tomorrow. You always feel that it is easy to watch others do it, but you always lose every step you do. Because you are greedy and because your heart cannot implement it, nothing you do will go your way. No matter how stupid a person is, he can achieve unimaginable results as long as he concentrates on one point; no matter how smart a person is, he will not be able to do well as long as he spreads his time to many places. Have you discovered this truth? So don’t blindly learn from others, don’t look at others, and focus on doing what you can do well.

So what we just talked about about the idea of ​​emptiness of dependent origin actually tells us to understand the laws of the existence of all things. The existence of each thing is not groundless. They are all combined by their respective causes and conditions. To achieve today's event, we need our partners in Jiangsu Province, such a venue, and the joint efforts of the audience and staff. The activity itself is a process in the flow of time. When the causes and conditions come together, everyone gathers together; when the causes and conditions separate, we may never see each other again in this life.

On the road of life, happiness or not is entirely up to your own choice. No matter how prosperous you are now, no matter how much you have, you must reflect on it. All fame and status are just a process. When Emperor Caesar was dying, he told his courtiers: "When I die, you must dig four holes in the four corners of my coffin and put my hands and feet outside the holes, because even if you are as great as I am, you will still be empty-handed when you die.

So whether we are doing business or getting along with our families, we must not feel sorry for ourselves and be happy. , happiness, joy, and peace of mind. I have been thinking a lot recently: I want to face the new day with a happy heart. Life is just as simple as eating, sleeping, dressing, and living. But can we do such simple things seriously? Only when your heart can calm down, you will do things better than usual.
