What is the purpose of doing charity?

Doing good deeds is not for reward or gain, but for inner peace.

What is the most precious thing in the world? The French writer Hugo said it well: it is kindness. Kindness is a rare pearl in history, and kind people are almost better than great people. mark. Twain said: Kindness is a universal language that can make the blind feel and the deaf smell. It is also written in the "Three Character Classic": In the beginning, human nature is inherently good. Everyone's nature is "good".

Smartness is a gift, but kindness is a choice. My husband often sends me some articles about good deeds and evil deeds being rewarded, euphemistically saying that they save me, purify me, and sublime me. One of the words he often talks about is: We do more good deeds to accumulate virtue for our descendants. If you accumulate more virtue, your descendants will receive blessings. It’s time to test me, and it’s also time to verify the effectiveness of my husband’s education.

On October 3rd, the third day of National Day, we drove to Jiaozuo. It was raining heavily and there were puddles on the ground. "Whoosh!" A motorcycle carrying two people sped past the side of the car. A mobile phone slipped from the pocket of the person in the back seat, fell to the ground with a thud, and lay on the ground with splashes of water. On cement road. I asked my husband to stop the car, quickly ran into the rain, bent down and picked up the phone. When I got into the car with my cell phone, my husband and child came over to me: "What are you going to do?" my husband asked me.

"Leave it to the police and find the nearest police station." The child said without waiting for my answer.

I looked at the motorcycle disappearing without a trace in the rain, but I didn’t answer.

? Recently I was thinking about changing my mobile phone, because my mobile phone was slow, the capacity was too small, and I had to clean up the memory every now and then, and the mobile phone I picked up just met my needs. My heart seemed to move, and what I picked up was mine. But there was another voice in the bottom of my heart. Isn't the owner anxious? Have you read so many books by sages in vain? There are really two voices talking in my heart, one is an angel and the other is a demon. No one is a saint, nor is he perfect. When faced with material temptations, his thoughts will definitely struggle and get entangled.

Be sure to return your phone to others," said my husband, "to accumulate some blessings for my children. "To be honest, my husband's Buddhist thoughts cannot rule me, but the conscience in human nature tells me that it is wrong to possess the mobile phone I found, and I will not get peace of mind when using the mobile phone. So, I said to my husband: "I Just get off the car here and the owner will definitely come looking for it. Even if he doesn't return, he will still call this phone. I waited here because there was a park opposite, so it was easier for him to find me. The husband smiled slightly and said, "Are you seeing your children here and want to set an example for them?" ""yes. "I looked at the child, thought for a while, and answered simply.

? The child also laughed, but I didn't. I was still struggling in my heart: A mobile phone given by God seems to be worth two dollars. Three thousand gadgets, something that made me get half wet in the rain, and give up so easily? Do you want me to wait here for the arrival of a stranger, or wait for a call from a stranger, and then return the phone intact like a connector? Offer?

I have said so many inner thoughts, and some people must be laughing at my money-obsessed mentality: I just return the things I found to the owners. In fact, I am not noble at all with so many dirty thoughts. I want to say: If you pick up 10,000 yuan and give it a try, would it be strange for you to feel calm?

The crackling raindrops hit my gray oilcloth umbrella, and I stood alone in the rain, with the swaying autumn wind and autumn rain. With a chill, I shivered twice in a row. I remembered that one of my colleagues told me that in the early years, her father picked up five thousand yuan and was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, and his heart was in turmoil. A whole night of struggle. I handed the money to the police station at dawn, and slept until dawn the next day. The person who lost the money couldn't sleep, and the person who found the money couldn't sleep either. Peace of mind is the greatest practice. Returning it to the owner is the best option.

? After waiting for about half an hour, the mobile phone I picked up rang. I slid the phone to the answer button, answered the call and said, "Are you looking for the mobile phone? I'm at the entrance of People's Park. Waiting for you." The other party's voice trembled with joy: "Great, I'll be there soon." ? The person who lost the phone was a young man who looked like a student. I handed the phone to him very happily. He took the phone and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you."

"I'll give you some money as a reward for you." He changed the subject.

I smiled: "No, you can go." I said in my heart, if I cared about the 1,200 yuan you gave me in return, I would have taken my phone and ran away.

? The corners of the young man’s eyes were full of gratitude, and he couldn’t conceal his excitement. He probably didn’t expect that his cell phone could be recovered so easily. I smiled and looked at the back of him and his companions riding away on their motorcycles. He turned around and waved goodbye to me, and I waved goodbye to the ugliness and greed in my heart. At the moment when the owner is happy when he gets the lost thing, a kind of lofty feeling of doing good overflows in his heart, filling his heart with beauty.

? When my husband came back from finishing his own affairs, he heard me tell me the outcome of the matter and said happily: "You have been messing around in front of me all day long, and you have done a good job today. The earth is round. Yes, everything you have done will be rewarded to me one day." I smiled noncommittally, thinking to myself: "I do this good deed without asking for anything in return, I just want to gain peace of mind."

If I take this mobile phone as my own, when I use it, I will think of the anxiety and frustration of the person who lost the mobile phone. Will I be happy when using it? The answer is definitely no.

On the 4th, Mid-Autumn Festival, I went home to visit my father. The father couldn't contain his joy and gave his son one hundred yuan. While my father and I were talking, my son walked around in my grandfather's room. I felt that his behavior was a bit abnormal, but because he was a child and I was talking to my father, I didn't blame him.

After having a brief chat with his father, and preparing to go home, sitting in the car, my son said: "I quietly put the 100 yuan my grandpa gave me under my grandpa's mobile phone. Grandpa is old and has many places to spend money. I can’t ask for grandpa’s money.” “Then why did you put it under grandpa’s cell phone?” “He must not be happy if I give it back to him. If I put it under the cell phone, he will take it.” The phone will be discovered, and the money will not be lost."

Ah, this little guy has grown up. With wisdom and kindness, I am so happy. Could it be that my good deed yesterday really paid off? A smile stretched out between my brows and eyes like a lake, and waves of waves slapped my heart, making me feel comfortable.
