Inamori Kazuo is a person with a lot of Buddhist connections
His parents believed in Buddhism. Inamori had the experience of " hidden chanting Buddha " at the age of 4 or 5, and learned to thank him and practice it for life.
When Inamori suffered from tuberculosis at the age of 13, he read the book "The Reality of Life" with a strong Buddhist color, and initially understood " thoughts and causes" and "the things depicted in his heart will be presented as phenomena." lying on the hospital bed, trying hard to describe good thoughts in your heart, and realized that "dedicating to society and the world" is the highest state of good thoughts.
Later, Inamori had the fate to meet Nishikazuki, the elder of Kyoto Yuanfukuji, and when he encountered setbacks and felt bored, he often received guidance from Zen Master Nishikazu.
In 1997, Kazuo Inamori became a monk at Yuanfuku Temple in Kyoto. The monk named "Yawa". He respected Master Nishikata Danxue from the temple as his master. After several months, he lived a monk wearing an bamboo hat and begging for alms everywhere.
Every year, Kazuo Inamori takes off his suit and ties, puts on monk's clothes on straw sandals, and begs for alms. When begging for alms, the straw sandals were worn out, and blood was oozing out of the front of the toes. I still had to insist on getting some rice and debris from house to house.
One evening, Kazuo Inamori, who was already exhausted, met an aunt doing cleaning on the way back to the temple. When the aunt saw Kazuo Inamori, she gave him a coin and said, "Master, you must be very tired. Buy a bread on the way back." This made Kazuo Inamori feel extremely warm and everything became bright.
For convert to Buddhism
Kazuo Inamori once said this
0 The reason why I converted to Zen and believed in Buddhism is because Zen attaches importance to the improvement of my mind and nature. At that time, Master Sakyamuni under the Bodhi tree was greatly enlightened by meditation, and thus realized the laws of all things in the world. Everyone in the world was once a Buddha, but it was just that their own distracting thoughts blocked the Buddha's light. Only by sweeping away the dust on the soul can we obtain supreme wisdom in life.
Some people say that Buddhism and business paths are "dedication" and the other is "profit". These are two contradictory areas and cannot be taken into account with each other. And in my opinion, this statement is a misunderstanding of these two fields. In Buddhism, there is a Buddhist verse called " self-benefiting and benefiting others ", which means that if you want to benefit others, you must first benefit others. People cannot only consider their own interests in life, but also consider others. In business operations, whether it is between internal employees or between enterprises, even if the relationship between competitors is in the relationship, if the other party can reach out and pull it when the other party needs it, the future returns may be more than just doubled.
There is an old Japanese saying called " favors are not for others ". This is the meaning of giving roses and leaving fragrance in your hands. The corresponding Chinese saying is " The Family of Goods has good fortune." Therefore, Buddhism and capitalism can also be adapted to each other and the operation of enterprises. This is a relationship between breaking through the economic level and moral practice level. Therefore, using Buddhist ideas to run a business is much more noble than ordinary business operations.
Kazuo Inamori is a very devout Buddhist, but he never asks the people around him to be the same as himself, because he understands that a person who lives his true self will always follow his heart, and even in ordinary work and life, he can practice his own heart. Everything starts in the heart. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must use the power in your heart to help yourself. strengthen your beliefs, survive the darkness, and usher in light.
No matter at any time in life, we must remember to use our sincerity to do things altruistically from an altruistic perspective. Only in this way can we achieve our true self.
