Greed is poison!VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH. Greed is the poison that kills a person's personality, there are times when it's just because of anger and ignorance for small benefits that we lose valuable and important things, until looking back, it's really wrong. The story of the well and human greed People who study and practice the Way don't fall into the mood of regretting the past or imagining the future. Happiness can only manifest in the present present. But true happiness is not the happiness of having everything, but letting go of it all. Those who cannot let go of everything will never taste the taste of serenity and liberation. There is a Zen master who has a hobby of traveling all over the world, initially his health can help him to go to many places, learn and observe many things. Later, he became more and more sick, when he stopped in a certain mountainous area, he caught a cold. He was lost in a lost area and was taken care of by a widow. Although she did not know who he was, the owner was still dedicated to helping him through. Three months later, he gradually recovered, at this time, not knowing how to thank the landlady, he immediately dug a well to get clean water next to the house and left. What no one expected was that thanks to the water from that well, the widow's tea became more delicious. Since then, her tea shop has also become famous. People know her and come to her. After a while, the Zen master returned to the shop, the widow's house teacher became richer, he felt very happy, he came to her and talked. But contrary to his thinking, she lamented bitterly: "This well is very good, but the water runs dry continuously, it will only be full in a few days, so I can never sell it to customers". Because Zen master replied, "It doesn't cost anything, you can make a lot of money from the water that God gives you, and you still don't feel satisfied?". Then he raised his face to the sky and lamented: "Heaven and earth are vast, but human greed is even more immense!". Greed is like a poisonous snake, it harms others, making people evil. It is harmful, but many consider it a tonic. They themselves make it bigger and bigger, making us become blind, crazy, even using conspiracies and tricks to achieve our own goals. We will gradually lose ourselves, no longer have the same values ​​as the original, by the time we want to return, we will no longer be able to. So choose for yourself how to live without anger, what is not ours will forever not be ours, cherish everything you have, it will produce new things by itself. To have happiness and joy, people just need to learn 3 things below: First: Rest Monday: Give Tuesday: Let go Reasonable rest Buddhism believes that in this society there are two types of people. One is too greedy, wanting and pursuing success, wanting to make money, wanting to constantly reach out. The second type of person lives without purpose, without the will to advance. If a person plunges into making money, does not spare any tricks to pursue success and fortune without knowing when to stop, he will feel extremely tired one day. Pursuing far-fetched horizons makes us very painful, very stressful, because once we have won it we are afraid to lose it, after losing it, we want to win it, just like gambling. I want all the money in other people's pockets to be my money, if I lose, I want to win, I win and I want to win again, I can never be satisfied. Smart people know what to do and should rest properly. Only then can life balance life and be at ease. Life must know how to give In this life, what we give with human love is really what we give without being exchanged or bought and sold in many forms. However, if we know how to give material values ​​​​to help or share difficulties with others, this is the way to help us receive joy and happiness in return because there is no calculation in us. When we give without any conditions or expectations, then we cultivate boundless compassion. When we give without calculation, the giving is noble, so we will receive peace and happiness. Learn to let go If people know how to let go in the present life. Let go of the interests, let go of the hatred you hold. At the same time, let go of the pursuits to calculate for yourself, discharge the "greed - anger - delusion" in daily life, you will find for yourself peace of mind and peace of mind. Because when we know how to let go, our mind will be clear to overcome the temptations of greed, anger, delusion, and mistrust, and then see the joy around us. If we can let go, our hearts will be open, whoever says something unsatisfactory will also ignore it and not accept it. If someone has done something offensive, it is easy to forgive, but if there is anger or sadness, it only takes a few minutes or a few hours, at most overnight, and then forget everything for a happy life. Let go, let go of the Let go, let go of "Greed-and-disgust" so that the soul is at peace, the body is free Greed is a poison, and lust is a double-edged sword; have a stable life and still want to pursue comfort; If lust has no end, then people will never feel enough, never feel satisfied, and never seek. be joy. Appreciate what you have, you will find that you are the richest person in this world.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.28/12/2021.
