In desperation I turned to a master to consider asking: "Why such honest people regularly encounter the suffering, while the evil ones live comfortably than that?"

The teacher looked peaceful person then said:

"If a person feels pain in my heart, to make the right center is holding a certain malice. If an introvert no evil, people will not feel miserable. Therefore, based on this principle, I often feel pain, inner meaning of the existence of evil, I was not a really good man. Which ones you think are the evil, the true is not necessarily bad people. "

A person can be happy that life, at least say this person is not truly evil.

It feels as offended and not serve, I say:

"The stars may be the evil is? Recently, the very honest mind that! "

His answer:

"Inner no evil shall not feel pain, I feel pain, that is, in the minds of evil exists. Children talk about the suffering of children, and I will tell you, evil does exist in children ".

I say:

"The suffering of the children, very much! Sometimes feel very low wage income, housing is not wide enough, often have "felt loss" so in your mind often feel uncomfortable, also hope can quickly modified status this; in society, not a few people basically do not have culture, could be back wrapped silver million, I do not serve; a cultural intellectuals as children, each month there is only a little income, really is not fair; relatives sometimes do not listen to the advice of me, I feel uncomfortable ... "

Doing so, in turn I tell all the teachers of his anguish. Master nodded, smiled, a smile is urging defender, who calmly told me:

"Current earnings were enough to feed my children and family. Con also has accomodations for living, basically did not wander in society, just a little bit small area, you absolutely can not stand her mental suffering.

But because the inner child with the greed for money and wealth, so feel miserable. This kind of greed is evil mind, if you can throw away his malice, I will not because of those things that feel pain anymore.

In society there are many who lack culture but profitable, then I felt not available, this is the heart of envy. Tam is also a kind of envious malevolence. Con itself as culture, should have high income, this is arrogant mind. Tam is also arrogant malevolence.

Given that culture must have a high income, this is foolish heart; because culture is not the root of wealth, past life doing good was the cause for the wealth of this life. Foolish heart was malice!

The relatives did not hear my advice, you feel uncomfortable, it is not generous. Although the child's relatives, but they still have thoughts and opinions of their own, why resist ideological bridges and their views began to like me? No generosity leads to narrow. Narrow mind is malevolent. "

Teacher continues smiling:

"Greed, jealousy, arrogance, ignorance, narrow-minded, are malevolent. Because the child's inner malice contain it, so the new misery exist in children. If you can eliminate that malevolent, the other suffering will crumble ".

Bring the joy and satisfaction of his career on income and wealth, I think back, basically you will not starve and freeze to death; other wealthy people, actually is just not starve and freeze to death. I have realized yet, you are happy or not, does not rely on external wealth, which is based on the attitude of the new decision. Grasp every moment of life, living with optimism replaced for greed, jealousy and selfishness; inner child will gradually be transformed, changing to more serene and peaceful.

"In our society, many people do not have culture but wealthy, you make up for them but fun, so the more they wish richer, more fun than true. Others gain, have fun as that is the human person; others lose, do not laugh on their pain. Such person be considered an honest man! As for me, I now see others wealthy lacks fun, this is the heart of envy. Jealous heart is a very bad heart, must resolutely eliminate! "

Son said that children who have more room, posing as well. This is arrogant mind. There is a saying: "Arrogance high paint, virtuous unborn shui" (ie: high mountains that arrogant, will not make up water well) who gave birth to vanity, then for the shortcomings of the relatives would like eyes without lenses, so, can not see myself how much malice, so can change for the better. So, people will themselves arrogantly closed halt his progress. Also, people will often feel arrogant loss, gradually turns inferiority. A person can only cultivate humility, always maintaining peaceful mentality compassion, inner can feel the wholeness and joy.

"Life before the new good deeds are the cause for wealth in this life, (watermelon are melons, beans are beans). But people often do not understand cause and effect, wants the beans planted melons, melons beans want to be, this is the expression of ignorance. Only true cultivator, truly understand the cause and effect, the law of circulation of all things in the universe, intelligent interior can show insight. So that, knowing how ideological choices, behavior and his words accordingly. Such people, can follow the light toward the light, from peace and happiness towards peace and happiness ".

"The sky can tolerate all, so vast boundless, leisurely; ground can bear all, so full of life, all things sprout! A person living in this world, should not arbitrarily disregard the behavior and words of others. Even the relatives, it should not bring attention forced, need periodic natural options! Kusala permanent use to help others, but not to resist what needs ".

"If a person can mind vast as the sky that tolerance things, that person may suffer here?"

Venerable master finished speaking these things, keep looking at me with eyes filled with kindness and tolerance, generosity.

Sat silent for a moment ... I still own this old is a very honest person, not until now, right! only this time, I knew I was in there a very bad man, very cruel! Because my inner contain evil, that I could feel so much suffering. If my inner evil, how can I suffer you?

Thank him, if not to teach people open market, you would not know there permanently one such evil exists in me!
