Four classes of people worthy of being close to.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.

One of the best signs to judge someone's personality is to see what kinds of people they are close to. Because near the ink, it is black, near the light is bright. Walking in the fog will get wet over time. So each person needs to know how to choose friends to play.

CWith a good friend, we will be fragrant and become a good friend. On the contrary, playing with  evil friends, from time to time, I will be infected with their bad habits.

At one time, the Buddha was at Mount Ky-bar-Quat, the city of La-browsing-period with them great monks, 1,250 people.

Then, at the appropriate time, the Blessed One took the bowl of robe to the city of alms. At that time in La-appro-Ky, the son of the rich man named Thiên Sinh, in the early morning, went out of the city and went to the public garden after taking a bath and was still wet, heading to The East, West, South, North, Above, and Below, bow all over.

…

Buddha told Thien Sinh again:

- There are four classes of close relatives because they are often beneficial and protective. What four? 1- Disturb work compartment. 2- Love. 3- Help. 4- Colleague. Those are the four friendly classes of people.

This Thien Sinh, the class of obstructing, often does four things that bring many benefits and protect them: 1 - Seeing people doing evil, they often stop them. 2- Show only integrity. 3- Have compassion. 4- Directions born Thien. These are the four situations of preventing harassment from giving much benefit and protection.

- Loving class usually does four things: 1- Happy when you benefit. 2- Worry when you get hurt. 3- Praise yourself for your good virtue. 4- When you find yourself speaking evil, you will find ways to stop it. Those are four things of love that are beneficial and protective.

- The help class has four jobs. What four? These are: 1- Protect yourself from letting go of the lung. 2- Protect yourself from losing your talent because you let go of the lung. 3- Protect yourself from fear. 4- Advise yourself in an empty place.

- A colleague usually does four things: 1- Do not regret your life with you. 2- Do not regret wealth with you. 3- Help you from fear. 4- Advise you when you are in a place with no people.

After saying that, the Blessed One again said the chant:

You prevent harassment
You are compassionate.
You do for your benefit.
You are with you.
Those four classes are worthy of relatives
The person who is worthy of being closer
Than other relatives
Like a gentle mother.
Want a body of a worthy person
Make your body strong,
A friend who is virtuous enough
Like a fire that enlightens people ”. 

                                               
                                                                                    

According to the Enlightenment of World Religion, the four classes mentioned above are worth getting close to, because they often bring benefits and protect themselves. Whoever stops us from doing evil, he is very brave, very close. Anyone who knows how to share, happy when we benefit and worry about when we are harmed, that person really loves me, is very close. Whoever protects me when he is afraid, when he loses his mind, when the situation is broken, he or she wholeheartedly helps us, very deserves to be close. Whoever lives to the fullest, without sparing life and money, does not work hard, and even advises me to be sensitive, discreet and sincere, that person really accompanies me, very worthy of being close.

In life, it is very difficult to find people who have these four characteristics to get along with. There must be conditions, it is important to be sincere and compassionate in order to meet and bond with good friends for a long time. Meeting a good person that I only trust and do not fix myself well, the good fate will quickly dissolve. Therefore, it is necessary to generate good conditions and vow to correct oneself to live a good life in order to see good friends, to together build a happy and happy karma. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.17/8/2020.
