Buddhist story: Fahai Suozhen: Buy wisdom (exporting scriptures and laws)

Buy wisdom (export the law of the scriptures and laws)

【Scripture] There was a man who was poor and unwise in order to make a living, went to the sea to collect treasures, returned to his country, and met a good teacher. The man said to himself: "I am always poor, and now I have treasures, which is enough to entertain myself. If my mother is not, I want to give up my mother and live separately. If my wife is not, I want to marry him again."'The good teacher replied: 'Recently, people with great wisdom have filled this city. You can buy wisdom, and the price is only a thousand taels of gold. They should tell you the method of wisdom.'The person who said as he said, went to the Buddha's market and asked everyone, wanting to buy wisdom.The person told him: "If you have any doubts, you should take seven steps forward and seven steps forward. There are three such things, and wisdom will arise.'The man went home at night and saw his mother sleeping with his wife. He suspected that he was his man. He drew his sword and wanted to kill him. Suddenly he thought of him. He bought wisdom in the morning, and then he went forward and retreated three times. He removed the lights and shone in the bed from a distance, and his mother felt relieved.This man sighed: "That wisdom is more than just a thousand taels of gold."'Then he gave him three thousand taels of gold.

【Translation] There was a man who was poor, ignorant and unwise, and he did not realize the suffering of wisdom.But I know that poverty is difficult to survive, so I want to make a fortune, so I go to the sea to take treasures.Readers should know that there were no speculation, lottery, gambling, etc. at that time and place, so entering the sea to collect treasures is the only way to make a fortune.This man went into the sea and actually picked up many treasures by him. After selling them, he suddenly became a rich man. He felt uneasy. After returning to China, he met a good teacher (a useful friend). During the chat, the man said: "I have always been poor, and I can't hide it from you. Now I have treasures and make money, and I can enjoy it. I don't have to live my poor life in the past."This kind of life change is not very accustomed to it at the moment. If my mother refuses, I want to leave him and separate himself;If my wife refuses, I want to not marry a woman from a wealthy family.'The good teacher said: 'I don't ask about these things. I know that you have always been poor and have no wisdom. Now you are not poor with money, but you still have no wisdom.There are quite a lot of wise people in the city recently. You can buy wisdom first. If you only pay a thousand taels of silver, they will tell you the method of wisdom.'After hearing this, the man entered a city that believed in Buddhism and asked everyone: 'Where is selling wisdom?'Someone told him: 'If you encounter something you are confused, don't rush to mercy. Take seven steps first and then retreat seven steps. If you advance and retreat three times, then wisdom will come.'The man listened and was skeptical. When he went home at night, he saw that his wife was sleeping with others. He couldn't see clearly that he was his mother, but he suspected that he was another man;I pulled out the knife and wanted to commit a crime, but suddenly I changed my mind, let’s wait, why not try the wisdom I bought during the day?So he retreated three times each. When the light was turned on, the old mother woke up and turned over and sat up. The man nodded and sighed: "It's such a wisdom, worth more than a thousand taels of silver!"'Tomorrow I would give that man three thousand taels.

【Interpretation] People who become rich after becoming rich after becoming rich by poor children and who are very knowledgeable and have a very noble person, are often proud and arrogant.Surrounded by relatives and friends, there is nothing more than just a promotion and assistance. Those who are despicable in their minds will smile flatteringly on their shoulders and be able to do the best of their ability.If you make this kind of wealth or awesome person become arrogant, not only will you not listen to good advice, but you may even say something that doesn't suit your own opinions, and immediately scold and scold others, and others will also sneer, making the speaker laugh and cry.If you get angry when you get rich and angry, you can do it immediately.However, if you continue to be free like this, you can lose your whole life and die, not to mention the consequences of your future life.Why do those who practice Buddhism do not want to receive the blessings of the world?I am afraid that when I am rich, I will easily create karma and fall into depravity.This person who gets rich after picking treasures is an example.I think the person who teaches him wisdom has some supernatural powers!Knowing that he might kill his mother by chance tonight, he taught him to advance and retreat three times and seven steps to ease his anger and he had room for thinking and investigation."Ji Wenzi thought twice before he could act." Confucius also agreed to think again, which is the reason.There is a common saying in Europe and the West that people are taught to count the numbers silently when they are angry, from one to ten, and from a hundred to a thousand. After a few minutes, they will act, because anger is the most likely to be bad, and they will regret it.
