1 and the enlightenment of Sanmen

Once upon a time, there was a prince. Before he set foot on the journey of life, he asked the teacher? Sakyamuni Buddha: What will my future life be like?

The Buddha replied:? On the road of life, you will meet three doors, each with a sentence written on it, and you will understand it when you see it. I'll wait for you there after you go through the third door.

So the prince went on his way. Soon, he met the first door, which read:? Change the world. ? The prince thought: I want to plan the world according to my own ideals and get rid of all those I don't like. So, he did.

A few years later, the prince met the second door, which read:? Change others. ? The prince thought: I want to educate people with beautiful thoughts and make their character develop in a more correct direction. So, he did.

A few years later, he met the third door, which read:? Change yourself. ? The prince thought: I want to make my personality more perfect. So, he did.

Later, the prince met Sakyamuni Buddha and said to him: On the road of my life, I have gone through three doors, and I have also seen the enlightenment written on the doors. I know that it is better to change the world than to change the people in this world; It is better to change yourself than to change others. ?

The Buddha smiled and said, maybe you should go back now and take a closer look at those three doors. ?

The prince will go back in doubt. Far away, he saw the third door, but it was different from when he came. Looking from this direction, what does he see on the door? Accept yourself? . Only then did the prince understand why he was always in self-reproach and distress when he changed himself: because he refused to admit and accept his shortcomings, he always focused on what he could not do and ignored his strengths. So he began to learn to appreciate and accept himself.

The prince continued to walk back. He saw something written on the second door? Accept others? . Only then did he understand why he was always complaining: because he refused to accept the differences between others and himself, he was always unwilling to understand and understand the difficulties of others. So he began to learn to tolerate others.

The prince continued to walk back. What did he see on the first door? Accept the world? . Only then did the prince understand why he failed again and again in changing the world: because he refused to admit that there were many things in the world beyond human power, he always forced others to control him.

Control others and ignore what you can do better. So, he began to learn to embrace the world with a broad heart.

By this time, Sakyamuni Buddha was already waiting there. He said to the prince. I think now you know what harmony and peace are. ?

The story of Triple Door tells us: when you are alive, you should learn to know your own advantages and disadvantages in life, constantly improve yourself and be a noble person; Treat people with an open mind, put yourself in their shoes, and become attached to people everywhere instead of.

Make enemies. Only in this way can we live in harmony with others and become a truly useful person to society.

2. Thinking determines the way out

There is a short story about a scholar who went to Beijing for the third time to catch the exam and lived in a shop where he often lived. Two days before the exam, he had three dreams. The first dream is that he grows cabbage on the wall. The second dream is that he wears a hat and an umbrella on a rainy day. The third dream is that he is lying with his beloved cousin, taking off his clothes, but his back is to his back.

The scholar couldn't understand the meaning of these three dreams, so he went to a fortune teller to interpret them the next day. Hearing this, the fortune teller patted his thigh continuously and said? You might as well go home. Think about it, isn't it futile to grow vegetables on high walls? Isn't it unnecessary to wear a hat and an umbrella? My cousin and I took off our clothes and lay on the same bed, but back to back. Isn't that impossible?

Hearing this, the scholar was disheartened and went back to the store to pack his bags and prepare to go home. The shopkeeper was very surprised and asked. Isn't there an exam tomorrow? Why did you go back to your hometown today?

After the scholar said this, the shopkeeper was happy: Yo, I can interpret dreams, too I think you must stay this time. Think about it, isn't it high to grow vegetables on the wall? Doesn't wearing a hat and an umbrella mean that you are prepared this time? Take off your clothes with your cousin and go back to bed. Doesn't that mean you should turn over?

Hearing this, the scholar made more sense, so he took the exam happily and finally came to explore flowers.

In the above story, the fortune teller's thinking is negative, so he sees a negative way out, while the shopkeeper's thinking is positive, so he sees a positive way out. A scholar is also a scholar. He chose positive thoughts, so he explored flowers in high school.

Positive people in the world, like the sun, shine everywhere, so there is always light to illuminate their way out. And negative people, they will be like the moon, the first day and the fifteenth day are always different, whenever they meet the dark moment of the first day, they can't see a bright way out. To have a good way out in life, the most important thing is to improve one's own quality and cultivate a positive attitude. As long as a person has a positive attitude, there will be positive ideas and an exciting way out.

Countless failures are equal to success.

Liao Rongdian is the president of an international investment consulting company in the United States. He once had a very famous percentage law.

This law says: If you meet 10 customers and only get the order from 200 yuan at the last customer, what do you think of the first 9 failures and rejections?

Manager Liao further explained:? Remember, you earned 200 yuan because you met 10 customers, not 10 customers. Each customer makes you earn 200/ 10=20 yuan. So the income that is rejected every time is 20 yuan. So, when you are rejected, you should smile and salute the customer, because he gave you 20 yuan. ?

Ryoji Aocheng, the king of Japanese Nissan car sales, has a similar statement.

He saw from a car magazine that according to statistics, the success rate of Japanese car salesmen visiting customers is 1/30. In other words, one of the 30 customers visited will buy a car. The information excited him.

He knows that as long as he visits 29 people in a row, the 30th person is the buyer. Most importantly, he thinks he should thank not only the 30th buyer, but also the previous 29 buyers, because without the previous 29 setbacks, how could he have succeeded for the 30th time!

Indeed, a stone, after 99 violent strokes by a hammer, remained motionless, and it was finally broken by the100th impact? You think it's just the last blow? Of course not!

You are hungry and bought five loaves of bread. When you finished the fifth piece, you felt full. Do you think that if I knew this, I wouldn't have bought the first four loaves? Of course not!

In the face of all setbacks and rejections in life, I think each of us should face them with a good attitude and always thank them. Only in this way can we gain something from every effort. Because, the final success is always accumulated by countless failures before. so this is it？ Liao Rongdian's percentage law? Tell us the truth.

As long as we live, we will live better.

Many people accomplish nothing because they underestimate their abilities and degrade themselves, so that their achievements are reduced. ? Donald of the United States? hilton

There is always a kind of person who lives alone because of inferiority. Inferiority is not only because of other people's eyes and words, but also because of their inner weakness and self-abandonment, and they close themselves in the world of inferiority. People with low self-esteem can come out completely. Everyone's value lies not in how much money he has, but in a kind of heartfelt happiness. Don't give up the smile on your face, don't give up happiness and love of life. Have a positive attitude towards life. As long as we live, we will live better!

Old withering is a famous? Honest man? Ten years ago, my wife was seriously ill and had no money at home. I didn't go out to borrow some money to treat my wife. I thought of my father-in-law's contemptuous expression and didn't go to his father-in-law's house to borrow money. The old man forced his sick wife to stay at home, and her wife died. The old man couldn't stand such a blow and committed suicide. The only way for him to express his sadness is to take all the sleeping pills at home, which may be the bravest move in his life. Let the neighbors find themselves saved, and the old man becomes more silent and dull. Since then, the old man has never spoken to anyone, and he can unconsciously feel everyone's discrimination and ridicule. In fact, he doesn't look up at people himself, and his back is getting more and more camel. The old man always thinks that after passing by, someone will whisper. I never talk to people, so loneliness has always been with the elderly, and loneliness has gradually penetrated into my bones. Every time I think about my wife's dying eyes, my heart hurts. The old man often sees his wife with long braids appear at the door. The old man often talks to himself with a smile on his face. My son is used to it. My son knows that his father is talking to his mother!

The old man has two acres of dry land. He has been planting it for several years, not because the food price is too low to sell. Either it's drought, it needs sprinkler irrigation, or it can't make money. Old painfully feel timid, no access, no flexible mind, no glib tongue, no? Like my father-in-law said? The poor man has no future. . The old man keeps some ducks and geese, sells eggs to supplement his family and sells vegetables in the small vegetable garden. Now the old man is in his fifties, but he looks like an old man in his sixties. Gray hair is always uneven in length. In order to save money, it takes him a long time to get a haircut. The horizontal wrinkles on the forehead are like three V's, and the brows are always wrinkled, like knots that can never be untied in the heart; I can't open my eyes, half open, as if I don't want to look up at people; My face is always unshaven, and the wrinkles on my face are like apples withered by frost. Wrinkles are full of vicissitudes of life and a face of coolies in the Republic of China. The old man's hands are covered with calluses and black cracks. He washes his hands every day, but in the cracks, the hard dead skin is always black and can't be washed off. The old man will never see new clothes because he never buys new clothes.

One day, the old man specially found a suit to wear. This is the eighth time that Lao Kun has come to the office. I want to go to the civil affairs office and ask him personally, has his minimum living allowance been approved? The security guard won't let him go up: he won't go up today, and the province will lead. Go back! When the leaders come down and see, I'm going to be scolded again? . The old man turned and went to the office canteen, where his niece cooked. The happiest thing for the old man is to eat some leftovers from the canteen. Every time the old man comes, he will take some home to satisfy his hunger. Because old people never buy meat. The niece said:? Eat and go! Do you see it? Toyota is overbearing? No way, the leader will drive to pick up the provincial leader later? . The old man didn't know that the car was worth more than one million yuan, but he just thought that the food eaten in the office was too extravagant and wasteful. Old wither can't eat such rich food in his life. I vaguely feel that every time the civil affairs staff say anything, they are powerless: money is tight and there are no places yet. The old man took the leftovers around the road and went home. And they were afraid to give them to foreign leaders in front of provincial leaders? Shame? I kindly thought: it is not easy for provincial leaders to visit! I don't know how long it will be before I come back.

Not long after the old man got home, the door was full of cars, except? Toyota is overbearing? Besides, there are many luxury cars that have never been seen before. The old man is very stupid. What happened? The site leader drove to me! No way! No way. Old Withers rushed out to meet them and blew away the creaking chickens, ducks and geese in the yard. Looking up, it was a leader holding a middle-aged man, as if he were an educated youth who went to the countryside here that year? Xiao Wang Hao? . The old faded face has been expressionless, with a bright smile. Xiao Wang Hao? Hug the old man: Ouch! My brother! How are you? The old man subconsciously dodged. He suddenly felt dirty and didn't have time to clean. What is the unspeakable taste in the old man's heart? I can't say that I can't blame anyone or myself for the bitterness and bitterness of these years. Old faded with a wry smile:? Ok, ok, ok! Everything is fine! ? Envy of field leaders:? This is Vice Governor Wang. I must come to see your brother before I enter the office! Hahaha! Brother, you are so lucky! ? After entering the room, the director was dumbfounded at first sight. The room is empty, only a black and white TV set. Who will watch black and white TV now? But the house is clean. The old man quickly wiped the kang with his hand and asked everyone to sit down. Governor Wang asked the old man: If you have any difficulties, tell Director Tian that the old man is my savior. I think he saved me from the water. ? Captain Tian's fat head and sparse hair are all sweaty. Sincerely, old brother, if you have any difficulties, just say it! ? The old man's voice is very low and weak: I want a minimum living standard. I went there several times and looked at the face of the field leader nervously. The sweat of Tian's leader flowed to chubby cheeks, red and white, and nodded and promised to let the old man go to the office to go through the minimum living security procedures tomorrow. Governor Wang gradually got to know the old man. The old man looked at Lao Wang happily and came back to visit himself. For a moment, he thought he was dreaming?

After that, it was like a different person. The old man feels that his waist is straight and his spirit is much better. The old man took the initiative to strike up a conversation with everyone and felt that everyone liked him very much. Old people will take the initiative to visit their homes. As long as someone asks about saving people, the old people will tell stories with great interest. Although he talks over and over again, he always talks with relish. From then on, anyone who works in the village is a guest. Old people are crowded from now on? Old people find that they can live a better life?

5, the clown of God

Once, a dreamer came from the desert to Grand Sheria (Arabic, meaning the city of law). All his possessions are the clothes he wears and a stick in his hand.

Walking in the street, he was awed and surprised by the temples, minarets and palaces in front of him. The city of Sheria is magnificent! He pulls pedestrians from time to time and asks about the city, but neither he nor pedestrians can understand each other's language.

At noon, he stopped in front of a big hotel. The hotel is made of golden marble, and people can go in and out from the door without being stopped.

? This must be a temple! ? He walked in to himself. When I went in, I was surprised to find a magnificent hall in front of me. Couples of men and women sat around the table, eating, drinking and enjoying the music.

The dreamer thought:? No, it's not worship of God. The prince must be holding a banquet to celebrate some grand ceremony. ?

At this moment, a man? The dreamer thinks he is a servant of the prince? Came over and asked him to sit down, and brought meat, wine and exquisite snacks.

The dreamer had a delicious meal and then got up and left. I walked to the door and was stopped by a well-dressed big man.

? This must be the prince himself. ? He thought to himself and bowed to the prince to show his gratitude.

The big man said in the language of the city. Sir, you haven't paid for dinner yet. ?

The dreamer didn't understand, but thanked him sincerely again.

The big man looked at him carefully and found that he was a stranger. He is in rags. He must be the shopkeeper who can't afford the meal. So he clapped his hands and shouted, and now four policemen are coming. After listening to the story of the great man, they took the dreamer away in the middle. The dreamer's eyes lit up when he saw these people dressed in fashionable clothes.

He thought:? They are all first-class people! ?

They walked until they entered the court gate.

I saw a man sitting on the main seat in front of the lobby, with a beautiful beard and dignified clothes. The dreamer estimates that he is the king, and he is overjoyed to see the king.

The patrolman sued the dreamer to the dignified judge. The judge has now appointed two lawyers, one to represent the plaintiff and the other to defend the stranger. The two lawyers stood up to speak and expounded their respective defenses. As for the dreamers, he only thought they were giving a welcome speech, and he was extremely grateful to the king and prince for their hospitality.

The verdict was announced: the defendant was sentenced to hang a guilty wooden cangue on his chest and ride a bald horse into the city, with a trumpeter and a drummer escorting him. The judgment will be executed immediately.

Dreamers on bald horses show off in the street downstream of drummers and drummers. Hearing the noise, the residents of the city flocked to the streets, saw this scene of laughter, and the children marched through the city after the dreamer. Dreamers have long been in high spirits, enjoying the crowd happily. He thinks that the wooden cangue on his chest represents the blessing of the king, and riding a horse in public is a privilege.

Suddenly, he immediately saw an acquaintance from the desert, so he shouted happily to him:

? Friend! Friend! What is this place? What's the name of this city in Satisfied? Do you know that they hosted a banquet for a stranger in Wang Guan, accompanied by the prince himself, and the king hung a blessing plaque on his chest to let this paradise on earth greet him? Which generous nation is this?

The acquaintance from the desert didn't answer, just smiled and shook his head gently. The procession went on.

The dreamer holds his head high and his eyes are shining with joy.
