In the past, there were three brothers, the eldest was strong, the second was brave, and the third was smart. One night, the three brothers watched together. The eldest brother thought he was the eldest brother and should take care of his younger brothers more. In addition, he was strong and thought that this matter would be done independently, and there was no need to bother the two younger brothers, so he told them to rest on their own.

In the middle of the night, a Gu worm crawled over and bit the boss's leg. The boss slapped it on the ground, but when he saw that the place he was bitten was itchy, he became angry and stepped on it. Not only did this kick not kill the Gu worm, but the Gu worm continued to grow up;He hit the gun again with a stick, but the insects became bigger and bigger, and he could not subdue the insects until he was exhausted.

Because the noise was too loud, the two younger brothers woke up.The second brother was extremely brave and powerful. He took the wooden stick and beat the Gu worm with all his strength. The Gu worm grew to half a room.

Seeing this scene, the third brother calmed down and silently wished the insects to eliminate karma and achieve happiness and good fortune.As a result, the insect quickly returned to its previous size and slowly disappeared into the night.

Why can't the strong and brave eldest and second brother subdue the cuckoo?Because tit-for-tat can only intensify conflicts, treating others well is an effective way to resolve conflicts.

In fact, the Guworms in the text are just like the various troubles and unsatisfactory things we encounter in life. When these obstacles arise, how should we view and hold on to each other?As the saying goes, "A thought of anger arises, millions of obstacles open." If we are like the eldest and second brothers in the story, anger arises from the heart, evil arises to the courage, and immediately face and deal with an angry and angry heart, will these troubles and dissatisfaction be eliminated?For example, we have different opinions from colleagues at work and disagree with our parents in life. Can we solve the problem by scolding and fighting?In fact, this method will only inspire conflicts and cause endless disputes, just like an increasing insect that may even lead to a bloody case.If we cannot correctly realize that these are our habits and karma that have been born for many lifetimes, and are manifested by our own karma of cause and effect, and do not actively start from our own practice and face and resolve them according to correct knowledge and views, then we will only be punished when the revenge will be repatriated. With our pure practice, we will not be able to inspire Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. The mercy and blessings of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will be irresistible or even eliminate these karma. In this way, we will always be revolving in the cycle of reincarnation, and there will be no time to leave.

Namo Qiang Buddha said in "What is Practice": "As long as it is practice, everyone can achieve liberation, so we must figure it out, even though we have read "What is practice?"", and the eight basics, double and seven branches have all read according to the right view, but that is called reading the writing, not practicing;If you understand the theory of practice, it is called seeing the truth, nor is it called practicing;If you have started to follow the practice method, this is not practice, it is called entering the journey;If you have tried your best to follow the practice method with great compassion, this is called stubborn practice, not called correct practice;If you do not need to try your best to do it with great compassion, you will naturally follow the eight basics, double and seven branches in accordance with the law, which is called practice.”

Therefore, as long as we can abandon our own obstacles to knowledge and practice piously and diligently according to the teachings and precepts of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, we will be at ease in dealing with secular affairs such as family, life, work, etc., and at the same time, we will be lucky and blessed and wisdom will increase.
