Master said: within Tzu Chi, there should be no loan or money exchange between brothers and sisters; And I think it's okay to lend it to the group home if the other party needs it and can provide it by itself. Since she is a yogi, she will definitely not give it back in the future.
But later I found that I thought it was very simple, and the repayment process caused trouble to myself and the other party. Finally, I feel that the master is right, and the relationship between members in the group is simple and clean.
Masters often emphasize "doing the right thing". I didn't understand before: the ancients said: think twice before you act, don't think well, think clearly about how to do it. Now I understand: as long as you have a clear direction and think it is right, do it without thinking too much. The master said, "Happiness gains joy from doing", true joy comes from doing, and true happiness is also felt in the joy of giving. If you just want to do it, how can you feel the joy and happiness of doing it? Not only can't get joy and happiness, I'm afraid I'm still thinking too much, thinking too much, and worrying too much adds a lot of inexplicable troubles to myself. Because you think too much, you will fall into uneasy mood, worry about being swayed by considerations of gain and loss, make things that are not complicated and bad complicated, and even let yourself give up the correct choice. There is a lyric that says, "Thinking will only make me miss the lucky grasp of the next corner." Come to think of it, whose life has no such regrets?
In the process of doing it, even if there are troubles, the master said: learn while doing, feel in learning, and feel in feeling. In the process of doing, learning, feeling and understanding, slowly, your troubles may be solved, your mind purified, your wisdom increased and your cultivation improved.
The master also said: "Wisdom lies in understanding", and the greatest wisdom in life is obtained from people who are not as understanding as they wish. It makes sense to think about it! Every day in the personnel situation, we will meet people and things we like, and even people and things we don't like. As the saying goes, nine times out of ten life is unhappy. then what You have to understand. Ordinary people, especially those who have no practice, always stand on their own point of view when talking and doing things, and rarely take into account the feelings of others. Therefore, inadvertently or intentionally, I will say something that makes others feel uncomfortable, do something that hurts others, and rarely reflect on what I have said and done, and often forget what I have said and done. If the "intentional" listener does not understand from the positive side, then it is himself who is troubled and hurt. Being considerate of others is actually being kind to yourself. Because everyone and everything has a good and positive side, and there may be a bad or negative side. Only by being considerate can we get rid of troubles or grievances and gain freedom in life.
In the 360 Encyclopedia, this explains "understanding people" in this way: "First, be kind to others, and then you can understand people, forgive people, observe people, and reflect your personality charm. Know how to accept, know how to cooperate and know how to get along. Respect the merits and talents of others, but also tolerate their temper and personality. For others, fully appreciate his good points, regardless of his shortcomings or places that are not in tune with himself. When you can't understand, try to understand; If you can't forgive, just accept it. Understanding, but also good at observing the mood of others, giving people the same help as timely rain, making warm, peaceful, comfortable and warm life, and communicating with the soul. Understanding, as the name implies, is very considerate, considerate and empathetic. Specifically, there are two understandings: first, it is wise for the public to care nothing, that is, to give everyone a space to get along with and create an independent space for themselves. Secondly, it is to put yourself in the shoes, provide convenience for others and make rules for yourself by paying attention to the people or things you care about. In fact, the world is not complicated, but our own hearts. The world is the way you look at it. Feel what the world is like. It is what people think. This is the world in our eyes and hearts. In fact, the world is still the same, but the mood is different and the eyes are different. Therefore, the ancients said that "benevolent people have different opinions, and wise people have different opinions." "
I get joy from giving love and doing good deeds, and enjoy the joy and joy of realizing the value of life; Expanding one's mind, gaining spiritual freedom from tolerance and understanding of others, and absorbing the wisdom of life are actually practice.
Tzu Chi has always stressed that it is a spiritual group. There are often two kinds of people who join the Tzu Chi family: one is that they have problems in their work and life and need to go to Tzu Chi to solve them; One is that they feel that they are not cultivated enough and need the help of Tzu Chi's platform to cultivate themselves. In a word, Tzu Chi needs spiritually, not entirely because Tzu Chi needs itself. How powerful is a person? Very little. So the master said, we should shrink ourselves. However, Tzu Chi, a charity organization, has gone through 48 years. It is an inexhaustible treasure house of life. Yan Zheng, a great spiritual teacher, is enlightened every day, and tens of millions of volunteers around the world are giving their love every day. People who are not good at digging treasures are often empty-handed; Those who are good at digging for treasures will surely return home with a full load.
In Tzu Chi organizations, you can often hear some brothers and sisters sharing. When others praise her (him) for her good temper, she (he) always modestly says: I was not like this before, and my temper was so bad that everyone was afraid. It was Tzu Chi who changed me, and now I am more and more happy.
She (he) is a person who is particularly good at digging treasures. In Tzu Chi's treasure house, they found the treasure they needed and used it to arm themselves, enrich themselves and beautify themselves. As a result, they became treasures in Tzu Chi's treasure house. Tzu Chi is proud of her, and she is proud of being a Tzu Chi person! She (he) all listened to the master's words to improve their lives.
Dear master, I will listen to you, get rid of my bad habits in time, study hard, practice seriously, do what you want me to do, love the people you want me to love, and become a qualified and good disciple in your mind as soon as possible!
