There used to be a mountain, a temple in the mountains, and a monk in the temple told stories. The monk is confident in his mind, knowledge, and wisdom. Smart people are willing to communicate with smart people. It is indeed a very happy thing. However, when you encounter a younger brother or younger brother with weak knowledge, chaotic thinking, or ambiguous speech, you may feel angry and angry. I often say, "Why do you still don't understand this? You pig's head. Master criticized him for this many times. He admitted his mistake, but he still couldn't help losing his temper when he encountered a similar situation. However, one day, an experience of logging on to the mountains made him change his mind.
This day, Chai played a lot and he was in a good mood. When he was tired on his way back, he put down his firewood and drank some water and washed his face. Then Xiaoqiang came. Xiaoqiang is a monkey in the mountains. He often comes here to play, and he often encounters a monk playing firewood in the mountains. After a long time, they became good friends. After the monk washed his face and tried to wipe his face with a towel, he found that the towel was still hanging on the server load over there. He was indeed very tired, so he pointed to the server load and motioned Xiao Qiang to get the towel for him.
Xiaoqiang ran over and smoked a piece of firewood from the firewood bearer and brought it to the monk. The monk thought it was very interesting. He asked Xiaoqiang to take it and draw a square shape with his hands. Then he said, "towel, towel ". Xiaoqiang went and got the firewood. The monk smiled more happily. This time, he threw a rock into his towel and pointed it to Xiaoqiang. "Have you seen it? Take the towel ". Xiaoqiang went back to get back firewood, and it was still a proud expression, as if to say, "You see, I can do more !" Looking at Xiao Qiang's ambition, the little monk smiled.
After returning, the monk told the abbot about this interesting thing. Then the abbot asked Him, "If you tell them the truth, they cannot understand it, and you will lose your temper. But Xiaoqiang cannot understand why you think it is interesting ?" The monk gave a sigh of relief and replied, "It is normal for Xiaoqiang to understand because he is a monkey. However, teachers and younger siblings are people, so they should not understand what I mean ."
Fang Zhang said: "should I? What is it? First of all, a person with a different understanding is not his credit. A person with a poor understanding is not his fault. Even if the knowledge is the same, the environment of the day after tomorrow is different. The person born in the family of scholars is not his credit; the person born in the family of death is not his fault. Even if the environment is the same, there are different masters. It may not be his credit to meet a monk with a lamp; it may not be his fault to meet a monk with wine or meat. If there is such a big difference between people, why can you say who should be ?"
The monk bowed his head and refused to speak. The abbot then said, "what's more, heaven is impermanence and the world is impermanence. He is worse than you today. You can look down on him. If he is better than you tomorrow? At that time, he looked down on you again. How do you feel in your heart ?"
The monk said with shame: "Master, I know my fault ." The abbot shook his head and said, "No, it is not your biggest mistake ." The monk opened his eyes and asked, "Where is my fault ?"
Fang Zhang said: "the mistake is that you have not learned to look at it with the eyes of the Buddha, and think with the heart of the Buddha ." The monk suddenly felt that he was about to understand something, so he quickly bowed his head and said, "The Monk is compassionate. Please teach me the teacher !"
Fang Zhang smiled and said, "If you think about it carefully, you cannot understand what you mean. Why are you angry with your younger brother and laugh at Xiaoqiang? They are the same, but they change by yourself. So the problem lies not in them, but in you. You are not angry with John because you are a human, a monkey, and you are much more intelligent than him. Therefore, you can tolerate his mistakes. However, if you are a person, you are a person, and your wisdom is of the same level with them, you cannot tolerate their mistakes. What if it's Buddha? Will Buddha get angry when he sees your teacher's mistakes? Of course not, because the wisdom of Buddha can accommodate everything ."
Look at this story when you cannot tolerate others!
