living bring happiness.

Satisfying lust is a form of happiness, but ephemeral and difficult to reach, because we also do not always achieve the desire.Moreover, this desire to achieve, other desires arise, it is the law of psychology, busy chasing desires no end. Find happiness by limiting the legal minimum desire is contentment of Buddhist education.

Lessening the indulgence-sufficient, according to the original meaning, the less desire - to know enough. This legal ethics in the field, lifestyle, is profoundly experimental process of Buddha. 

Spent six years of ascetic unsuccessful, he gave up, move to a new lifestyle, not so austere with himself, finally attained Sanming, a Buddhist enlightenment. This enlightenment in terms of realization and recognition of the principle of dependent origination universe formed object; moral terms, a waiver of the two forms of life passions and desires aberration of austerity destroys himself. Therefore, the motto first sexual minorities is not an austerity policy mortification anonymous as people think, but only lived nuances, are absolutely not tied rigidly dogmatic people, because talking to know not say enough how much is enough, and said little desire not say how much longer less libido. Thus lessening the indulgence sufficiency is aimed at inner thoughts rather than relying on external material form.

At desire, know enough is depending on circumstances and the ability of each person.We have the ability to be content as long as it with that possibility. For example, we only have the ability to purchase a motorcycle, we happily use it. If we desire to exceed their capabilities, will create discontent. So each person must know the amount of their own abilities to decide how much desire. If your strength is not enough that day and kept squirming pursue crazy fantasies will surely asking for the suffering.

Desire to create basic conditions for the discontent, because despite how much more, I have always sought to be more, the better. Modern society specialized in exploiting greed and dissatisfaction want this, and I always hear that the fashionable outdated years ago, the objects were obsolete years ago. But hardly anyone can afford to buy things that they think they should have. Even when we bought about a lot of things, but then they become worn or damaged. Or sometimes see others have this and that, we also Joneses for "hype you". This can cause us always unstable.

Conversely, if we say, "what we have is good is very long," then in my heart will be at peace. This does not mean that we will never buy new items or society does not need improvement in terms of technology as well. If we have a demand for something new widgets or style bring greater efficiency, the shopping there is nothing wrong, as long as we have enough money to buy. But whether we are or not shopping in my heart remains at peace, because we will always be happy with what you have.

If we have the ability to keep spending under his needs, so long do not squander.Savings are also lessening the indulgence-sufficient lifestyle. We buy what is really essential, not shopping because Joneses, because for better or for people to brag.When spending something, think about those who are disadvantaged and needy, to moderate their extravagant action.

Buddha once received an invitation to a meal at the home of a wealthy prince, he named Bodhi (Bodhi). Bodhi happy, clean the house clean and gorgeous decorations.He spread a white cloth from inside to outside lane to welcome the Buddha. When he comes, personally Prince Bodhi out to welcome, but to advance the cloth, the Buddha stopped, three Bodhi invited him to enter, he would quietly stand still, looked Venerable Ananda . Understand the Buddha, Venerable Ananda told the prince to Bodhi please book cloth take-away. Buddha did not step up as he thought about the poor, undernourished lack wearing. This noble act of the Buddha teaches us lessons about avoiding waste.

Knowing satisfied with what you have is a quality indispensable in many ways to love, to share myself for everyone. When craving urges, have no true spirit of altruism, simply because one can not share what he wished for others. For example involved want the cars, trying to gather enough money, while having the benefit relationship, it is hard for others to share, because the desire to have the car inspires us to accumulate enough money for more quickly as possible. So where there is desire, there is selfishness. Where there is no desire there is altruistic. With selfish greed, you are experiencing pain and suffering caused. With a satisfied mind enough to know, you are experiencing the happiness and well-being awarded.

Society always praise, honor those who have the will to strive and desire to get rich.This is totally contrary to the spirit of contentment sexual minorities, as these are the aspirations, desires positive, enriched by overcoming difficulties, diligence, intelligence and creativity. In the  Tang Chi , Buddha encouraged us to enrich the four noble reason: Creating prosperity for themselves and their families, to help family and friends, supporting the needy misfortune, offering the Dominicans.

Thus, efforts to enrich not only benefit themselves but also contribute to social welfare.Actual entrepreneurs who play a major role in creating social welfare, they also create jobs for many people, contributing to the development of strong and prosperous society.

In his  small story, great morals , with this story:

A wealthy owners see a mechanic lying lazy fishing boat next to the question, pipe mouth shut. The owner asked:

- Why do not you work?

- Because I have enough for today's question already.

- Then why do not you add few more questions?

- Questions about these matters, I will do with them?

- Can you earn more money, with that money, he can buy a new engine for his boat and went fishing in the waters further. He will catch more fish and earn more money.Then, he could have bought a boat again, hire a fishing team to follow you. And he will become rich, like me.

- And, what would I do then?

- You can leisurely enjoy life, to do what he loves.

- So, you think I'm doing here? - The mechanic looked up and asked questions.

The story is often quoted to express the spirit of contentment sexual minorities, but I think the spirit is not perfect contentment, it was one-sided and extreme, because sufficient indulgence least not cheer for the selfish, only thinking of enjoying ourselves.Lessening the indulgence nor sufficient means laziness, lack of effort. If we feel enough for myself still striving for the noble purpose of the other is to help family and friends, supporting the needy misfortune, make offerings to the religious texts as we just mentioned above.

Enrichment efforts by hands and minds with noble purposes like appearance to honor and praise. It is worth mentioning that there are redundant everything but always anxious frown, much to lament again, entreat others to pray more. Day sleepless nights, worry about the next hundred thousand attempt to attain it wished, had then also more satisfied, hope of achieving this, despite the desire to add new drag, a student born two and three, birth busy creating messy mood. Such greedy people how calm the soul to enjoy life, towards others?

There are couples under occupation Putuo Mountain firewood, life is very poor. One day her husband dug under a tree in a La-drought in gold! His family became prosperous wealth.

But he is still not satisfied, sad frown all day, he asked his wife saw this: Now what to eat, what to wear we have no shortage of fine gardens and has high door wide, so he looked even so sad?

Shouted exasperated husband: She is a woman know that! Eighteen La-drought that I only get one object only. So La-drought seventeen remaining hidden somewhere? How can I be assured okay?

Greedy husband finally died with the disease and that sadness.  ( Story small, big moral of Nguyet Hoa)

If not satisfied with what info I have, we can not afford to live happily in the present.Frederick Koening said: "We often forget that happiness is not because we get what we do not have, but rather because we recognize and appreciate what we have." Let's return to the present and know their content with what is legal are living brings true happiness! END=NAM MO CAKYA MOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.13/12/2016.
