Life, whether suffering or happiness, but just stand in the corner of grace, embrace the mind to know enough and cherish what they are, all the things seen every day will be the scene beautiful things.

That is to say, let us hold a heart of thankfulness and satisfaction everywhere and everywhere.

Follow the teachings, abandon greedy greedy nature

One day, when the Buddha was lecturing at the Truc Lam Vuong Hamlet outside the city, suddenly there was a loud noise. The Buddha said to Ananda: "Go out to see if that sound is due to what?" Anan stepped outside, saw a handcuffed old man with handcuffs and mouths constantly asking the gatekeeper to allow him to meet the Buddha, even if only to watch him from afar.

"The Buddha is teaching the Dharma now," said the gatekeeper. "I see that old man is so distracted that he will not listen to Master's teachings. Moreover, this time in the inconvenience, can cause people to disturb. The old man said: "His age is already so great, today if you do not see the Buddha, then afraid that it is difficult to get a chance. May you let me see the Buddha once, okay? " However, the gatekeeper did not allow the old man to enter.

An Nan finished listening, came in to tell the Buddha. The compassionate Buddha said: "Please help the old man."

Sun Nan nan respectfully offered him to the seat of the Buddha. He was so happy to see the Buddha, tears ran down his face, constantly worship Buddha. The Buddha said, "How old are you, how old are you?" His hands trembled with two fingers, saying, "He's 200 years old."

He was so happy to see the Buddha ... 

Buddha said: "He is so old, today to find me something?"

The old man said, "Lord Buddha, do not you know that this old man finally created a bad karma, why are you leaving me to live so long? From his childhood until now, he has always lived a hard life and suffered from all kinds of torment. He really wanted to be liberated, but samsara is such a big deal, he can not do it himself. Please tell the Buddha, why his life is poor, so come back to that? "

The Buddha said: "All are conditioned. In the past, he was a rich man from birth, but he looked at life as money. When the poor came to ask for help, he was stingy. So, this life of his life is very long, but life is full of torment.

The old man was very sad, saying: "It turned out, he was living very poorly in the past, so this poor life is so miserable! I hope he can enroll him as a disciple, so he tries to repent, practice for the rest of this life. Life after the young can hear the Buddha. "

The Buddha said: "Cultivation naturally not young people, young people can practice, the elderly can also be practiced so. Starting now, let's take vows to eliminate the greedy heart, to nourish the mind of the discharge, strive to promote good grace. "

The old man said: "Lord Buddha, he will definitely follow the teachings."

Thus, the Buddha gave the old man 200 years old, accepting him as a disciple.

Knowing enough is often happy, human life is always happy

The story really makes us think: How long will a person live, will the date be comfortable? Not really! All defilements are caused by ignorance. For example, in the society of robbery, kidnapping, why do people do bad? Mostly by the word "Tham".

In fact, people live in the world, each meal only needs one or two bowls of rice is enough; This body can only tolerate the cold of winter; A baby bed is enough to sleep well. So, just hard work, each person can live happily, hả all must go to rob what to do?

I often say to myself: "The greatest punishment of human life is regret." If a human being has never done anything to make himself regret deeply, it is truly the happiest person in the world. On the contrary, if the mind does not hold firmly, when the mind greed, the yard starts to work erroneously, then even regret it is already late.

People know often enough happy, happy. 

Do not complain hard, but only happiness

We come to this world must have the feeling of carrying a certain mission. Should be living to work, do not work to live. To live for work, is a substitute for all; As if to work to live, we will feel human life is very reluctant! There are many people who have been working for less than a few years, feeling tired and tired of work, often fatigue, hard work. But in the world of those who live and work out for others, there are no "hard" words, only "happiness".

People who are always on the go, no matter how much they work, are willing to put their minds into it. So, they never thought they were hard, but just happy! When they hear someone talk about themselves, they will smile back and say, "My life makes sense!" This is the life of people living for work. If it is because life has to work three, then when not yet began to feel very tired then.

A person who has a heart of thankfulness will know the answer; In love there will be good for everyone. Living in such a society and human life, is it very satisfying? END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.6/7/2018.
