"If not, how could it be lost?" (Interpretation of the Analects of Confucius on Day 280)
Nikkei 6 17 (15th National Congress of Wei Linggong)
Classic text: Confucius said: "People who have no long-term worries must have near worries."
Confucius said, "Without long-term consideration, people must have immediate worries."
This is a well-known saying, ostensibly an expression. If you don't think deeply about things, you will inevitably encounter unpredictable troubles at any time.
One-dimensional rise, in the words of being a man, is: small ambition and unwise. We say that idleness will lead to hatred, and a person without a career must be a bad person. If the energy is not properly guided and released, he will be worried. Be sure to find something to do, that is, where time is spent, the result is there.
An upright man is open and poised while a petty man is anxious and worried. If a person's heart is in the Tao, he will be very calm and will not have near worries; On the contrary, you will be swayed by considerations of gain and loss and worry about the little things in front of you.
Yan Hui doesn't change the enjoyment of living in a mean alley. We said that all the superfluous things needed to be disposed of. In others' eyes, he may feel that he is suffering, but in Yan Hui's heart, it is a joy that others cannot understand. He is devoted to seeking Tao and has no desire for material things. His ambition is only to strive for perfection on the road of sages.
Thus, the happiness of Confucius and Yan Hui did not come from the outside, but emerged from their own hearts, flowing naturally like a clear spring, and they were equally happy regardless of whether the external realm was smooth or reverse.
In the previous era of food and clothing, there was nothing at home, but I was very happy mentally; At present, there is nothing lacking in material things, especially in spirit, and I am particularly confused and don't know what I need.
We say, if you want something, give it, even if it is the only thing you have.
In other words, there was once a monk who often persuaded the public to see the Buddha and listen to the Tao.
There was a woman whose family was extremely poor and had nothing. She shares a blanket with her husband. If the husband goes out begging in a blanket, the woman has to sit naked on the mat in the grass shop. If a woman goes out begging in a blanket, her husband has to sit naked on a straw mat.
Misha came to the woman's house and advised her that it is very rare for Buddha to appear in the world, and it is even more rare to listen to the scriptures and smell the law, and it is even more rare for the human body. You should listen to Buddhism and give alms.
The woman said: Dade, wait a minute.
She went back to her house and told her husband that there was a novice monk outside who advised me to see the Buddha and listen to the law. We are so poor in this life because there was no charity in our last life.
After listening, the husband said to the woman: Our family is so poor! Although I have this heart, what should I give?
The husband thought: I guess his wife still has some private property, so he agreed to say: Give it if you want.
The woman said to her husband, I want to put this blanket on my body.
The husband said, I'll go out begging with you. We can only survive if we enjoy this blanket. If we use it for charity, we will have to stay at home and wait for death.
The woman said: there is always death in life. If you don't give today, you will die in the future. I would rather give now and die now, at least there is hope in the afterlife. If I die without paying, the afterlife will be poorer and worse.
Hearing this, the husband said, then take this survival blanket and donate it to charity.
The woman came out and said to the novice monk, Dade, please come under the house. I want to give alms.
Misha said: If you want to give, give your face, I will bless you.
The woman said: I only wear this blanket, and I don't wear any other clothes inside. This place is not suitable for taking off, so I went back to my house, took off my blanket and gave it to the novice monk at a distance.
Misha blessed her and said, If you pay sincerely, you will be blessed. Then he took the blanket and returned to the Buddha's place.
The Buddha knew the origin of this magic blanket, and he asked the novice monk to take it. Shami respectfully presented it to the Buddha, who personally accepted the blanket with dirt.
At that time, the king and the public in the Dharma Association were slightly disgusted with the dirty blankets accepted by the Buddha.
The Buddha knows what people are thinking, so he said: I have observed that the charity given by the Dharma can't exceed the merits of the person who gave them the blanket he once lived in.
Everyone was surprised and incredible when they heard this. There is no esoteric and subtle method, and millions of disasters have occurred. I am willing to understand the true meaning of Tathagata.
The king's wife was very happy. She immediately took off her coat decorated with jewels and gave it to the woman. The king was also very happy. He took off his clothes and gave them to the husbands of the women, and ordered them to attend the Fa Conference.
Each of us came naked when we were born, that is to say, nothing belongs to us, only that spirit belongs to us.
For example, if you take a house as your own, you will have immediate worries, such as the maintenance of the house, water and electricity, property and so on. And you have to wait on it. It cost a lot of money when I bought it, and the property right on the real estate license is only 70 years at most.
The hardest lesson in life is to be able to give up, and Putonghua is to let go.
There was a rich man who needed to go to a nursing home for physical reasons, looking at the antiques at home and everything in the mansion. He can't take anything with him except a few clothes because there is no room in the nursing home. So, nothing belongs to you. If not, how can we lose it?
We have been living in our own delusions, and the more we can't jump out, the more worried we are.
No one can escape from birth, illness and death. Even if you are rich now, even if you are rich, nothing in this world is eternal. Everything is a temporary combination. Things change, everything is normal, the present is normal, and the present is heaven.
Aim high, have lofty aspirations, have no near worries, and follow fate.
