Every little thing is a big deal. Turning small kindness into great kindness and turning small things into big things is an important embodiment of patriotism and love for the family. Let's start with every little thing around us and love our family. You say, how can there be such a harmonious and beautiful home? Where is an underdeveloped country?
Life is a journey, no matter where we drift, we will eventually return to a warm place-home. What is home? Home is a harbor, home is a haven, home is a road sign to guide us forward, and home is also a beacon to illuminate us from darkness to dawn. ...
Home is a deep brand branded in the hearts of wanderers. No matter how far away the country is, no matter how rich the country is, no matter how poor the country is, home will always be a place deeply attached to the hearts of wanderers.
Each of us wants our family to be happy, but if we want to be happy, we must have enough blessings to support it. Nothing in life is without blessings. Without blessing, efforts will be wasted immediately.
Where does the blessing come from? From people's good deeds of accumulating virtue and doing good. The happiness of a family is not based on wealth and power, and no matter how rich the outside is, it is not as satisfying and stable as the inside. The greatest wealth of a family is harmony, tranquility and health.
Life is full of impermanence, no matter how much money you save, when impermanence comes, without health, everything is nothing. If you want to save, you will save the good karma and the good fortune, which will not only benefit yourself, but also save the good fortune for future generations.
What you want in this life is not to be rich and expensive, but to dream of peace of mind. The whole world likes to burn incense and worship Buddha in monasteries, asking bodhisattvas to bless their families. In fact, the best "Buddha protection" is ourselves, and the best "Feng Shui" is also in ourselves.
The impermanence sutra says: life is born by oneself, and phase is born by heart. Everything in the world changes, the heart does not move, everything does not move, the heart does not change, and everything does not change.
When we have virtue, good thoughts, kindness, good words and good deeds, even the worst fate and situation will get better. On the road of life, if you plant good causes and get good results, you must cultivate good karma, avoid all evil things and pursue all good people. When a family begins to go uphill, there will be these three signs. See if you have it at home.
First, don't be afraid of loss, be charitable.
Being charitable means being fond of doing good deeds and giving alms, and being willing to specialize in doing good deeds and giving alms. It belongs to Sima Qian's "On Historical Records and Le Shu" in the Western Han Dynasty: "Hearing the sound makes people be charitable; Hearing the sound of it makes people neat and polite. "
During the Wei Qi period in the Northern Dynasties, there was a man named Li Shiqian, who was rich and generous and often gave alms to the people. One spring drought, many families were short of food. Li Shiqian took out 10,000 stones of food and distributed it to the food-deficit households in the village. In autumn, it will be a bad year and crops will fail. People who borrow grain all ask for a delay in repayment.
Li Shiqian said, "I lent you food to help you through the famine, not for profit." Since the years are bad, you don't have to pay back the borrowed grain. "So he invited a few people who owed food to dinner, and burned all the IOUs in front of everyone at dinner.
In the second year, there was a bumper harvest of grain, and many people chose to return the grain. Li Shiqian resolutely refused to accept it, and the people who returned the grain had to choose again. Li Shiqian was charitable for thirty years, and Emperor Wendi died in eight years. In Zhaozhou, where he lives, more than 65,438+00000 people held a funeral for him, shaking with tears.
Liu Zai was born in Jintan, Jiangsu Province in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is said that when Liu Tsai was born, the water in the pond in front of his house suddenly flooded to the shore. Liu Tsai later said that he claimed to be "full of illness". According to the biography of Liu Zai in Song Dynasty, Liu Zai is an upright and kind person who has worked hard for the well-being of the village all his life, and is a person who will do it bravely.
People often say that "losing is a blessing", which is absolutely true. Short-sighted, only see this gain and loss, afraid of losing, afraid of others taking advantage of themselves, haggle over every ounce, but I don't know that the more haggle over every ounce, the meaner it is, the worse it will be for myself.
"Come back with love and come back with blessings." Give up the blessings, you will get more blessings, and give up wealth, you will get more rewards.
Anything you want, you have to let others get it first. You have enough heart to accommodate enough blessings.
So is a family. The more charitable and expensive a family is, the more it can cultivate wealth, and the natural "feng shui" will be better.
Second, pay more attention to filial piety.
Warm Seats in Huang Xiang: In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Huang Xiang, a native of Jiangxia (now Hubei). When I was only nine years old, I already knew the truth of filial piety to my elders.
Whenever the hot summer comes, Huang Xiang will fan the curtains of parents to make pillows and mats cooler and fresher, so that mosquitoes can stay away from the curtains of parents and parents can sleep more comfortably. In the cold winter, Huang Xiang uses her body to keep her parents' quilts warm, so that they can feel warm when they sleep.
Therefore, the story of Huang Xiang spread to Beijing, known as "A Chinese Odyssey, Jiangxia Huang Xiang".
"Filial piety is the first virtue", a blessed family must be kind, and the greatest kindness in the world is "filial piety".
In a family, parents are role models for their children. Parents should be filial to their parents, benefit their children and future generations through words and deeds, and let a good family style be passed down from generation to generation. Filial piety is better than wealth. Filial families are more amiable and can only be auspicious.
The purer a family's family style is, the more uphill it is.
Third, be diligent and active, and cherish the blessings.
Selling dogs to marry: In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a high official named Wu Yinzhi. He lost his father when he was a child, and lived with his mother hard, and formed the habit of frugality and simplicity. After becoming an official, he still hated luxury and refused to move into the government office prepared for him by the court. For many years, the whole family lived in only a few thatched houses. Later, when his daughter got married, people thought he would take good care of her, but on the big day, the Wu family was still deserted.
General Xie Shi's housekeeper came to congratulate him and saw a servant coming out with a dog. The housekeeper asked, "Your young lady is getting married today. Why are you not prepared at all? "
The servant frowned and said, "You're welcome. My master is too frugal. My young lady is getting married today, and my master just ordered the preparation last night. I thought the owner should spend some money this time, but the owner asked me to go to the market this morning to sell the dog and use the money to buy things. Tell me, how much can a dog sell? I think ordinary people marry their daughters more elegantly than my master! "
The housekeeper sighed, "Everyone says that Lord Wu is a rare and honest official, and it seems that he really deserves his reputation."
"In history, the sages of the country and the sages of the family were all defeated by thrift and extravagance." If you want to be happy, you must seek happiness in labor and virtue in diligence and patience.
A family's good fortune comes from "increasing revenue and reducing expenditure". The so-called "throttling" means cherishing the hard-won blessings and not wasting them at will.
The so-called "source" is to practice good dharma extensively and improve practice. People are not born to enjoy happiness in this world. As the saying goes, "thousands of people suffer from thousands of hardships", but suffering is not the whole of life. People should learn to endure hardships, realize the Tao in the midst of suffering, and regard suffering as the "putting the cart before the horse" in life. After suffering, happiness will come.
