There is a sentence in the theory of initiation:
"All worldly pleasures come from Altruism; all worldly hardships come from self-interest."
It means that all happiness in the world comes from altruism; All the pain in the world is caused by self-interest.
A person's value is not only reflected in himself, but also can help others.
《入行论》中有一句话:
“所有世间乐,悉从利他生;一切世间苦,咸由自利成。”
意思是说:世上的一切快乐,都是从利他而产生;世上的一切痛苦,都是由自利而引发。
一个人的价值,不仅体现在自己身上,更大的是能够帮助别人。
Once a kind-hearted middle-aged couple chose to open a small restaurant after being laid off.
The couple devoted all their attention to business and brought many repeat customers by virtue of their good popularity.
People value the simplicity and responsibility of the couple, and often come to take care of their shop.
曾经有一对善良的中年夫妻,在下岗之后,选择开一家小饭馆。
夫妻二人把全部心思用在经营生意上,靠着好人缘,带来了不少回头客。
大家看重夫妻二人朴实、本分,也常来照顾他们的小店。
In addition, every time the couple saw a beggar begging at the door, they would give them some new meals instead of the rest of other customers.
Their heartfelt good deeds have also brought blessings to themselves.
One night, a fire broke out in the restaurant. The fire was fierce.
除此之外,夫妻俩每次看见门口有乞丐来乞食,都会拿一些新的饭菜赠送给他们,而不是其他顾客剩下的。
他们发自内心的善行,也给自己带来了福气。
一天晚上,饭馆不慎发生了火灾,火势比较凶。
At the critical moment, those who often came to beg risked their lives to help the couple move their things out
The shops nearby suffered heavy losses because the rescue was not timely.
Because of their kindness and often helping others, the couple kept the disaster away from themselves at the critical moment, which is also a blessing.
正在危急时刻,那些经常来乞讨的人,冒着生命危险帮助夫妇俩把东西搬了出来
而旁边的商铺,因为抢救不及时,损失惨重。
这对夫妻因为自己的善良,和经常帮助别人,在关键时刻,让灾祸远离自己,这也是一种福气。
Altruism is storing blessings.
In the process of helping others, we can not only exchange good popularity, but also feel the happiness of helping others.
Helping others is also a kind of practice to cultivate a blessed face and atmospheric mentality.
"Only think of benefiting all living beings and offer blessings to all Buddhas."
If you take a long-term view and don't be stubborn about the small profits in front of you, you will make your blessings deeper and deeper.
利他,就是在储存福报。
在帮助他人的过程中,我们不仅能够换取好人缘,也能感受到助人的快乐。
助人,也是一种修行,修来一个福气面容和大气心态。
“仅思利众生,福胜供诸佛。”
把眼光放得长远,不固执于眼前的小利,就会让自己的福气越来越深。
