Today, with the temptation of material life, are many of us just for a small profit that accepts our own personality?

In a small market town, there is a seafood shop always busy buyers who sell. The salesman is doing business very well, cause they are honest traders, fish in this shop is always fresh, quality assurance.

The owner of the restaurant is a 50-year-old, at one time casually talk, the boss said that before the family just enough to eat, life struggled every day, the market is wet. After all, he was fortunate to meet a 7.8-year-old boy, who taught him an invaluable lesson. Thanks to that, the family has changed as well today, the story is:

One day five years ago, a 7.8-year-old boy came to the shop to buy fish. As he walked to his storefront, the boy paused to say,  "I sold you two of them!" I looked at the boy and took two fish in a jar of ice. for you.

A 7.8-year-old boy, the boy taught him an invaluable lesson. 

The boy shyly, glaring at me, always picked up from a pocket to a 100 thousand sheets to me.

"Is money lucky?" I asked the boy, he did not say anything but his face was red with shame.

"36 thousand!" , I received money from the boy and returned 64 thousand for him. After taking over the money and fishing, the boy rushed right away.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, while I was selling, the boy returned:  "My mother was hospitalized today,"  I startled. "My mother has been ill for a long time, and today I have to go to the hospital for surgery, and yesterday I bought fish for my mother, and my mother loves to eat the fish, but I do not have the opportunity anymore. After eating, my mother told me this sentence:  "It is not worth it to ignore your own personality."

Then he slowly withdraws in his pocket a new 100,000 sheets, handed to me:  "Uncle sorry for me, yesterday's money is a fake currency, this is real money." 

I was startled amazed, did not expect this happen. Recall yesterday, it is true that at the time of payment, the boy looked not very natural, the money back to the boy was carefully folded so that in the rush to sell I did not notice.

"Thank you, Daddy," said the shameless boy,  "because my mother was unfortunate enough to receive it, but I did not spend it at home. My mother is sick, there is no money in the house, because he wants to buy fish for his mother to eat, so she hid her mother for this money. Thank you for not scolding me! "

The boy suddenly awakened to the words of his mother: "Because taking small interests that leave his personality is not worth it." 

After hearing the boy's words, my feeling was hard to describe. There is something like straightening my conscience. I still think of doing business, "10 traders 9 crooks," not using the tricks can not survive, to defy conscience to make a profit. I took the bag to find the counterfeit money for the boy, he stooped back, bowed to thank me and left.

Looking at the little boy glitter far away, in my heart filled with thoughts. Not long after, I was distracted and disturbed in my heart as a warning to me. I thought about it and then decided to go to the warehouse to bring out the boxes of  hormones to preserve the fish out. As for the fish selling bad, I have a foreground job so I do not sell anymore; Then when I had no one noticed, I brought it to the dumping ground. This hormone, although preserved fish are long, fresh as freshly caught, but very toxic to humans.

Later on, I no longer see that boy again, but the lessons he taught me I will not forget.

Also strange, after I no longer use hormone preservation fish, my store is growing more and more, business also prospered, life more favorable, I now understand that as a good person Buddha knows, the good people do have to be happy. Living in life is just good enough for us, everything else has blue sky arrangements.

Epoch Times:

Today, with the temptation of material things, many people are willing to defy all tricks in the business to earn more profits. Toxins in food, milk and vegetables are common. They put the benefits above all, should take lightly the word "Credit" in business and despise the law of cause and effect. Confucius said:  "Human unbelievers, immortal, possible," meaning that people who do not keep faith can not know who can be? It is said that faith is the second life of man. This statement is also very ethical. The word "Tin", though ranked fifth in the five most common (Human, Ceremony, Nghia, Tri, Tin) but lacking the word "Tin", people will have no achievements and personality also bring many defects.   

The Buddha teaches the karmic force of sentient beings, the  "good and the good, the evil and the evil"  is extremely true. The above story shows that the law of karma results in the present life. The boy lied, using 100 thousand fake sheets to buy goods are creating karma, later the mind is not calm. But when realizing his mistake, sincerely to apologize and overcome, the boy was forgiven by the boss. It is the grace that the boy receives when he acts virtuous.

The Buddha teaches the karmic force of sentient beings, the "good and the good, the evil and the evil" is extremely true. 

Better, thanks to his honesty, he realized a costly lesson in life. Unethical business leads to failure, for the sake of the self that harm others, the whole life will not be lucky. When reimbursed, genuine and honest trading, fortune seek to him.

Laws of cause and effect have at times manifested not clear, making people difficult to detect. Some people when heard of causal consequences immediately immediately trust, then voluntarily adhere to morality. But there are also people who do not believe and do not want to hear, that other people do not see what they do, no spiritual end, should continue to do harm. But  "the net is splendid, but that is difficult , " the future of such people will be like this?

Causality is always present in life and business. If you work well, wholeheartedly for the sake of your customers, you will enjoy the good. On the contrary, if only want to get rich quickly, but despite the consequences, evil things do not only will suffer misery, suffering. Non-virtuous business will not last and destroy itself. 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.
