Bodhisattva’s heart, Vajra method

Buddhist stories 2015-03-18

I also read Sister Wang’s article “Does a person who fights a little kind always suffer?” I really like it as always!Of course, people should be kind, and they should also educate the next generation to be kind. I agree with both hands and feet.I feel inspired, and I want to tell a few short stories too.

Confucius is a famous gentleman, so he is naturally very kind.Confucius emphasized throughout his life that he would regain his rituals, be cautious in solitary and kind, respectful and frugal.But "The Analects of Confucius: Xianwen" records a familiar story - some say: "How about repaying grievances with virtue?"The Master said: "How to repay kindness?Repay grievances with righteousness and repay kindness with virtue."Why didn't Confucius repay his grievances with virtue, nor did he "complain with silence" or "complain with tolerance"?Because this will "no way to repay kindness" and will also tolerate evil spirits.Therefore, Mencius said, "I am not good at quarreling, I am a last resort."What is "straight"?The Kun hexagram in "The Book of Changes" says: "It is straight and it is right and it is right.A gentleman respects the inner self and righteousness is directed to the outer self. Respect the righteousness and virtue are not lonely, straight and straight, and there is no disadvantage in not being treated, so he will not doubt what he is doing.”

When I was in elementary school, a teacher lost five dollars. He said that he put the money on the table and was gone when he came out to use the bathroom.It just so happened that I went to the office to hand over my homework during that time. He insisted that I took it. He scolded me with a very bad attitude and asked me to hand over the stolen money.I was in the second grade at that time.I knew I didn't take it, I knew it was the teacher, but I didn't cry. When he said "handed it over", I said "I didn't take it."When he wanted to hit me, I ran away.I ran straight to the principal's office and told the principal about the matter.The principal took me to the office and found the five-dollar banknote under the teacher's desk.The teacher was in his forties, but he refused to apologize to me.He thought it would be fine if he said "I got it wrong"?The next day, my dad and I went to school and asked him to apologize to me in front of the teachers in the entire office.

When I was in my sophomore year, I went to the small theater to buy a pack of Qingfeng napkins. The aunt who swiped the card made up for two packs of money.I said why this paper has increased so quickly and has a price different from the label?She said she didn't know.I said, did you make a mistake?She said how is that possible? Don’t delay the students behind you.I said, if you check it, she refused to check it, and her attitude was still very strong, and it seemed like I couldn't afford a pack of napkins.The classmates who went there together said forget it, but I just didn’t. I insisted that the store manager come and talk to me.The store manager came, checked the records, and confirmed that the aunt had brushed two packs.They compensated me with a 100-yuan coaching shopping card, and I just asked him not to make things difficult for the aunt.

When I was in my junior year, on the way from Zijinggang Library to the East District, a speeding car kept honking its horn. Students along the way frowned and looked back and silently moved away.I looked back – I was just sure the driver wasn't drunk or asleep because the car was fast but steady.I walked to the middle of the road and slowly blocked the road.The driver was so arrogant that he stopped the car and rolled down the window, cursed me if I was looking for death.I said I was looking for death, why don’t you dare to hit me?After saying this, he got out of the car and wanted to do it. I looked at him disdainfully and said: I have called the security department. If you dare to do it, I will never fight back, but I sued you for bankruptcy!His hand, which was raised in the air, shrank back.Later, the security department came and the man was taken away.

Once at Hangzhou Railway Station, I held a vase in my hand, and a man came up from behind and hit me and smashed my vase to pieces. It was not a valuable vase, and I didn't want to worry about it.Who would have thought that the man ran over without looking back, and I chased after him and said you had smashed my stuff.He said, "Who do you want to watch the road?"I said, what do I think you rushed up from behind me?He said he would not go to the side, and he said he was in a hurry to buy a ticket and get on the bus.I glanced at his ticket and drove at 9:00, and it was almost nine o'clock at that time.He bought the ticket and ran to the waiting room.I shouted "Robber"... He was stopped by the security guard, and from the beginning to the end he said he was very anxious, and he was right.So we kept making trouble until 9:15, my train started checking tickets, and his train had already left.

I have been educated since I was a child and I must have the intention to harm others, but I must have the intention to guard against others since I was a child.My parents never try to tell me the best side of the world, nor try to show me the worst side of the world.So they never only told me to be kind, nor did they only tell me to be tough.Their words and deeds tell me that kindness should become a force, a force against evil.

Chai Jing’s speech contest at the Capital reporters let more people know about Hao Jinsong, an ordinary but extraordinary lawyer.Hao Jinsong is of course a kind person, but for a small invoice on the train, he sued the Ministry of Railways in court and raised the banner to expose fake photos of South China tigers. They are all done by this kind person.Master Hongyi said, "Do things that enter the world with a worldly heart", directly inside and outside. Isn't it this kind of righteous cause that adheres to inner justice to fight against the dark and evil forces?No wonder Zhu Zi said this is "for himself, it is important."

Being able to protect yourself with your integrity, and if you can also play a role in protecting yourself with others, this is probably the greatest and best kindness of a person.

Kindness is not weakness, nor is it just one way to endure.Zeng Guofan has a story that one day he chatted with someone in the army. The man said, "Hu Runzhi is smart in doing things, and people cannot deceive him;Zuo Jigao enforces the law like a mountain, and people dare not deceive him;The man is humble and loves talent as his life, and treats others with sincerity and touches others with virtue. He is not the same as the two men, which makes people unable to bully him."Yes, it is a godlike state, but the problem is, this world is too bad, no one will be unable to bully it.So Zeng Guofan was bullied to death in the end.

With the development of modern society to this day, the rule of law has become a universal value. It is no longer an era when kind people are educated to "bearable and endure it again". Otherwise, why do we still need the law to protect ourselves?Why do we need justice to protect ourselves?As long as you are upright and sincere, why can’t you “if someone offends me, I will offend others”?Why do we have to "no longer tolerate" before "tolerate"?

Some people may say, what is the meaning of revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on revenge on?When we educate children to "too much is not too much, and to be obsessed with both the use of both", educate them to be kind but strong, be kind but also learn to protect themselves, be kind and work hard to make kindness a force for maintaining justice, will we definitely educate those who will retaliate?

Then why did Confucius do to repay his grievances with his directness?Just learn from God and wipe the spit that others spit on your face and ask him to spit it again!But have you ever thought that such a person just wants to become a Buddha and a saint to go to heaven, but he has deepened his sins!

The Buddhist scriptures record a story: A Bodhisattva discovered that a robber was involved in the caravan, and the robber was preparing to find an opportunity to kill the merchants and then steal their property.The Bodhisattva naturally couldn't bear it and thought: If I kill the robber, I would commit the precept of killing and would fall into hell. If I don't kill the robber, I would lead to more lives being killed.This is a dilemma.But the Bodhisattva killed the robber with the spirit of rather going to hell than saving sentient beings.

Being able to tolerate what others cannot tolerate is virtue, but being able to eliminate people's evil and goodness is great virtue.

The heart of the Bodhisattva, the method of Vajra.

Is this the so-called doctrine of the mean?
