Taking root and living Buddha: can people who study Buddhism make money by trading stocks?

Recently, it has been found that some Buddhists are addicted to "speculating in stocks to make money". A few days ago, a layman invited me to his house for dinner. The layman seems to be a kind person. When I arrived at his home, I saw that he hurriedly started to open the computer to "stock". He told me a lot about how to make money by speculating in stocks. It seems easy to make money, but I know that it is not that easy to make money by speculating in stocks. Later, the layman asked me four questions as follows: this question depends on the individual's point of view on stock trading. What is the purpose of your stock trading? If you want to make a lot of money, you are wrong. This is gambling. If you lose ten to nine, you may not make any money. Last year, I met a boss. I heard from him that five years ago he owned a factory and an enterprise with hundreds of millions of assets and funds. Later, I speculated in stocks and began to study stocks. Later, he liked to play the stock market and became addicted. In the end, he couldn't control himself, kept losing money, sold his factory and closed down his business. After playing the stock market for four years, I woke up after losing all my money. It's too late. Now he is poor. In addition, I have a disciple who is very devout in learning Buddhism. But her parents forced her to go out to make money, and she didn't want to run outside. Later, when she heard that others made money by speculating in stocks, she began to learn to speculate in stocks. She bought many books on stock and finance, attended many financial training courses and bought five kinds of stock software, which cost more than 200,000 RMB. She began to study, and then she really liked playing the stock market, and gradually became addicted. Finally, she couldn't help herself. She has an illusion that the stock market will go up tomorrow, and she doesn't think it may go down tomorrow at all. Little did she think that she would lose money tomorrow. She has an illusion that she doesn't care about small money, but just wants to make big money. She has lost the truth that she can only get it by paying, which is no different from playing cards and gambling. I have advised her countless times not to speculate in stocks to make money, but she never listens. She has always been addicted to it, only addicted to buying stocks to make money, and her learning from Buddhism has regressed, and her interpersonal relationship has also regressed. Her relatives say that she has become a stockholder and a walking corpse. Then one day, she came running and cried for a long time. I know she lost a lot of money. I only said a few words of comfort. Finally, she said, "Master, we ordinary people can't afford to play with stocks, and we lose money no matter how we play." I told her, "I told you so long ago, I have never heard of people who get rich by stocks." I mean, it's not that people who speculate in stocks can't make money. Only a few people make money, just like winning the lottery. Of the100000 people who bought lottery tickets, only one person won the lottery, and the same is true for making a fortune in stock trading. It is said that some living buddhas, abbots and wizards all make money by speculating in stocks. Many mortals have always had opinions about these monks. Personally, I think a monk should abide by the principle of becoming a monk, so it is not a monk's business to make money by trading stocks. However, some monks say that if I make money from stock trading, I can build temples and help more people. We monks should know where the stock money comes from. Besides, can you give every penny you earn to the suffering beings? In that case, you are not guilty of stock trading. If you are addicted to stocks and don't save the suffering beings, then it is guilty for you to make money by trading stocks. From the perspective of Buddhism, stock trading is a kind of struggle with one's inner peace and tranquility, which will increase one's greed (when it rises) and hatred (when it falls), increase one's troubles, consume one's blessings, lose one's true wisdom, increase one's inner contradictory emotions, and have karma for inner imbalances and other emotions when the stock market fluctuates greatly. The second question is, can you change the luck of stock trading through Buddhism? People often ask me this question, and I always answer yes, but you know, Buddhism advocates that you can increase your blessings through Buddhism. With this blessing, stock trading will definitely make money. Without this blessing, I still don't make money by chanting scriptures and burning incense to worship Buddha every day. Is it possible that some big bosses who buy stocks for futures invite some monks or Taoists to help them make money by magic? If those monks or Taoists really have that ability, why don't they make money themselves? Last year, the bosses of several companies engaged in stock trading and futures invited me to help them watch feng shui, see divination and pray. I told them, "I can help you. If you want to make money, do some charity. To accumulate virtue and do good is the only way to increase happiness and the best way to change one's destiny. With blessings, you will achieve anything. " Those bosses did do a lot of charity, and later I heard that they all changed their fate, and some bosses even covered up the disaster of going to jail. I also have a disciple. One of her classmates talked about the problem of making money by stock trading in front of my apprentice, and I was so happy that my apprentice was ready to move. Later, my apprentice started trading stocks and lost a lot of money. I advised her not to play, but she wouldn't listen. Finally, after losing money, she came to me and said, "Master, can you teach me a way to make money by speculating in stocks?" My answer is: "I have no way to make money by stock trading, only the way to lose money by stock trading." Are you willing to learn? " She kept shaking her head. I finally said to her, "I hope you can accumulate virtue and do good deeds, change your life and increase your happiness. You will make a lot of money." She has changed careers now, and her business is still good. The third question, will it be realized if you concentrate on Buddhism and make money by trading stocks? To get rich, there is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures: "In Buddhism, everything is needed." Nothing is impossible. Getting rich is really achievable and will be achieved. But many people don't know how the Buddha taught us to get rich, so they just ask for the blessing of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, but it is impossible to get rich in this way. Buddhist scriptures say that getting rich is wealth, and wealth is the result. Only a career with wealth can have wealth, so what is a career with wealth? Because it is to give money, if you want to get rich, you have to give more money. It is really more and more. Don't expect anything in return if you give money. If you want something in return, your idea is wrong and there will be no good luck. How much you pay, you decide not to ask for anything in return. When you need it, it will come naturally. Yong Zhong Benbo said in the "Innocent Glory Sutra": "If you don't give, you will get a complete blessing, and the result will be complacent." Fortunately, Rao Miwo Buddha talked about three kinds of giving and reward when Xiang Xiong talked about Buddhism. If you want to get rich and increase your blessings, you should give it with money. Wealth report is the return of wealth giving, and wealth giving is the cause of increasing your blessings. Wisdom is the result of Fabbrizi, and Fabbrizi is the reason of wisdom; Health and longevity is the result of fearless giving, and fearless giving is the cause of health and longevity. Therefore, the Buddha said that being responsive is the reason why you pay, and the result is naturally presented. If you make money by speculating in stocks, I hope you will pay according to your money, and the result will naturally appear in front of you. If you can make money by burning three incense, kowtowing three times, reciting several spells and sutras, or giving everything you want, why should all mankind suffer to make money? Therefore, it is not so simple to be responsive in Buddhist scriptures. You should work hard to do what you want to do, and then use the ability of Buddha and Bodhisattva to be responsive and realize your dreams as soon as possible. Fortunately, Rao Miwo Buddha told us time and again that we should not be selfish in doing anything. I hope everyone can have the motivation to carry forward Buddhism, step into the right path and benefit all beings. Therefore, when trading stocks and futures, you can express the hope that everyone will benefit, which is the best way to accumulate blessings. One of my classmates is a disciple of other sects, but she often comes to me to discuss Buddhism. One day, she said, "Master, I have accumulated virtue all my life and done a lot of charity, but I have lost tens of millions of RMB in futures trading in recent years. What should I do? " "Your money has been lost, and the possibility of recovery is very small. However, if you lose money this time, you can accumulate virtue and do good deeds! " "What does Master do?" She asked me, "You are a charitable person, so you shouldn't be sad about losing money this time. Instead, you should be happy, thinking that this loss must be a debt owed to many people in the past. This time, I hope to pay off my debts in this way. Therefore, you will lose money and apply it to the road of doing good. You will repay all sentient beings in the world and hope that all sentient beings in the world will get my money and hope that they will be happy from suffering, which is not only good for you. " She said, "Thank you for your advice. That's all. " The fourth question, does the stock industry belong to an industry that hurts all beings? Personally, I think that the stock and financial industry itself is not an industry that harms others, but only a route to develop the economy, because the stock itself is a kind of valuable securities, which is a certificate issued by a joint-stock company to investors publicly or privately when raising capital, to prove the identity and rights of investors, and to enjoy rights and assume obligations according to the number of shares held by holders. Therefore, stock trading is not a harmful industry, and so is financial futures. However, if you don't know anything about stocks or have bad luck, don't play, don't hurt others, and you may even put your life in it. Over the years, there have been more and more cases of investors losing their money, committing suicide, fainting and dying, going crazy and chopping people with knives. Some investors even said: "A good home has been harmed by stocks!" These all come from their own greed, persistence, confusion and desire. When the stock rises, people always greedily hope that it will rise higher and then throw it out, but often before you throw it out, the stock will turn around and plummet. When stocks fall, people will feel sorry for their lost money and will not be willing to lighten their positions. But the longer we wait, the lower the stock price. . . . . . In the end, I can only lose money and leave. So some people say that stock trading is a game of winning numbers and losing money. The gold rush in the stock market is like pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth. It must be small retail investors who have repeatedly lost and fought. Sometimes in life, there is no need to force it in life. The stock market has unpredictable risks. Please think twice before entering the stock market!
