The mind is always the one who captures one's own heart

Learn Buddhism navigation number 2024-08-18


A senior brother and his wife visited a mage.This is a couple who are very diligent in their practice.

The wife said: Once I got angry with my husband, and then I immediately admitted my mistake. However, during the subsequent period of menstruation, my stomach still hurt so I called his husband to tell me.My husband was extremely diligent and serious in his practice. He answered the phone and thought seriously about what his master taught him.

Then he said to his wife: You did not repent properly, and did not kneel down or shed tears when you repent.

At this time, the master next to him suddenly said to the husband: I taught you this?Have you been outside and worshipped by your master recently?

The senior brother was honest, and as soon as his master told him, he immediately fell into a fog and dared not speak. I was so scared that I didn't dare to answer, and I didn't understand what the master meant.

I thought to myself, what my senior brother said was indeed taught by the master!

Seeing that he was really stupid, the master had to say it himself: What I teach my disciples is to take care of yourself, who told you to take care of others!Take care of yourself, if you make your wife angry, you have to repent!

One sentence awakens the dreamer.

This seemingly ordinary sentence is too important and too profound.

Many Buddhists have learned Buddhist scriptures and doctrines, but why don’t you know how to be courteous?After learning the last, I don’t like anything. I studied Buddhism for a lifetime and became a demon.

This situation is more or less common to many of us.When I started to study Buddhism, I knew not to be greedy for praise and to be able to withstand criticism.

As a result, every time my mother praised herself after doing something, she would wrinkle her nose and curl her lips, muttering in her heart, thinking that this would be a blessing for her.

Later I found out that I was stupid. My mother boasted because no one praised me. I tried it later. If I praised me first, my mother would start to be humble.

Many people are used to using these principles and teachings to care about others: Why don’t you chant Buddha’s name yet!Why haven't you eaten meat?Why don’t you know how to be filial?Why don’t you know how to be courteous!

After learning the last, I don’t like anything. I studied Buddhism for a lifetime and became a demon.

The mind is always the one who captures one's own heart

I met my eldest cousin yesterday.My cousin met a master before the New Year. After listening to his master's teachings, she immediately started looking for benefits, managing her temper, and her family relationships improved a little, but there were still many unsatisfactory things, so she came to me to tell me.

I told me how she kept a good attitude, but my brother-in-law occasionally provoked her, and my son was still unfilial.She said to her brother-in-law: I am practicing now, and I don’t want to be angry with you, so don’t mess with me!

Say to your son: You must know filial piety. If you are not filial, your work and marriage will not go well!

I laughed loudly when I heard it.Say she, well, you are a Buddhist, and you can basically become a demon if you continue to learn!If you continue to learn like this for the rest of your life, you can learn to hell!

My cousin looked unfair!I repeated the master's theory and told her: my brother-in-law has not changed because she has not changed properly.In fact, she is also determined to change others. This starting point is wrong.You can't change others' minds a little bit.

The mind is taken as a warning, and the mind is always our own heart.

Pay attention to yourself, it is Buddha;Pay attention to others, it's a demon

Many people in their practice are busy bringing their families they want to change to the master, hoping that they can change after listening to the master's guidance.

But in my opinion, the senior brother who did this also thought that the mistakes were all from others, and that they wanted others to change after listening to them. It was difficult to change their minds completely and improve their family relationships!

To take a step back, it is so difficult to change yourself, let alone change others!Why don't you start with the simplest things?

What the master taught is actually very simple and difficult - just be careful of yourself, all the mistakes are yours, 100% of them are yours.You can't leave 10% for others.Let’s encourage each other!

Pay attention to yourself, it is Buddha;Paying attention to others is a demon.
