Master Nebula: Exchange short life for infinite value

Master Nebula 2023-09-05

There are twenty-four hours a day, and there are sixty or seventy years in a lifetime. In this long period of life, how to pass the time is a very important question. It is really meaningless for ordinary people in society to pass the time, play cards, gamble, and do boring things to waste time. Everyone is promising young people, of course not. So, how can you pass the time? I think we should pass the time through hard work.

A few days ago, a company chairman said a few words to me. He said: "With my existing property, even if I spend 100,000 yuan a day, I can't use it for a hundred years. I have a lot of money, but I am still working. Am I insatiable? No, I pass the time by doing my career. ”His words make us understand that only when we are at work can life be able to settle down and that people can live meaningfully. It's boring and boring to have no job.

The gentleman said again: "Although I have a lot of money, I am very frugal. I don't smoke, drink, or go to entertainment venues. When I get home from get off work, I just have a cup of tea and read the newspaper. That's all, the day passed, and the next day I started working with a full spirit. ”

These words made me realize that the reason why a successful entrepreneur in society is not obtained from comfort and pleasure, but from constant hard work. Buddhism is originally about struggle and enterprising. Among the six paramitas, there is diligent paramitas, which is one of the six important methods for Bodhisattvas to become Buddhas. There are quite a lot of stories about encouraging diligence in Buddhist scriptures. Our leader, Buddha, had the experience of enlightenment, and was the best example of diligence. It is said that Maitreya Bodhisattva was originally earlier than Buddha Learn BuddhismYes, but because of the Buddha's diligence and courage, he surpassed Maitreya's realm and finally became a Buddha first. This example of Buddha is really the best example of our Buddhist sons.

At Foguangshan Buddhist College, everyone has to take turns cleaning, placing, slope out, and working for labor. Our arrangement does not mean that everyone should take responsibility for Foguangshan, but has another meaning. We must make students' lives enriched by their work, practice Taoism from work, experience it, and play the power of life and the meaning of life. For this, anyone who knows education does not dislike this way of education. On the contrary, many people say, "This kind of education is in line with the new life education. ”However, despite this, the college’s education policy, if you don’t bring it joyIt would be in vain to do your work with your heart and not work hard with a serious attitude.

As the saying goes, “Everyone eats and everyone has enough food, and everyone has their own life and death. ”Therefore, you must create light through hard work and fulfill your ideals through hard work. The Pure Land is the solemn and miserable hell of Amitabha Buddha’s vows, and it is also the place of teachings by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. We can also regard all work as an opportunity to hone our body and mind, so that our lives can be used to make the most meaningful and that our lives can have the most fulfilling content. Although human life only lasts for decades, we can use our short life to complete unlimited careers.
