Appreciate 60? The story of the butcher and the monk

~ old man: a monk recited the scriptures every day in order to write a blessing report.

A butcher kills pigs every day to feed his family.

They are neighbors. Every day the monk tells the butcher to get up and kill the pig. The butcher wakes the monk up to chant Buddhist scripture every day.

After death, monks go to hell and butchers go to heaven.

Excuse me, why is this?

~ Student A: Because the butcher wakes up the monk every morning to chant Buddhist scriptures and practice good deeds,

Monks call butchers up every morning to kill pigs and create evil deeds.

~ old man: that's not the main reason.

The main reason is that monks go to chant Buddhist scriptures in order to earn money. He knew clearly that the butcher was creating bad karma, but he didn't stop it. There is no goodness in his heart, and it is useless to read more Buddhist scriptures.

The butcher became a butcher to support his family, but he was kind-hearted and hoped that the monk would get up early every day.

I have said many times that the reason why I can be blessed by God and endowed with wisdom is because I have never thought about getting anything.

If we are all like monks, we are doomed to lose what we deliberately pursue in order to get something.

Everything is a natural, true and willing behavior, which naturally rewards hard work.
