What is the joy of everything in the world?

Soul Garden 2021-12-05

When Shakyamuni Buddha was in the Jetavana tree in the Kingdom of Sarvasti, four new monks discussed a topic under the tree: What is the joy of everything in the world?

 

 One said: "In mid-spring, flowers bloom in full bloom, playing in the wilderness, this is the most enjoyable.”

 

 One said: "The family banquet, music, singing and dancing, and the love is endless, this is the most enjoyable.”

 

 One said: "Cars, horses and clothing are the most enjoyable, and pedestrians are attracted by them."”

 

 One said: "A beautiful wife and concubine, fragrant fragrance, and indulge in love, is the most enjoyable.”

 

 When the Buddha heard this, he persuaded them, "What you are talking about is not the method of permanent happiness.When spring is warm and flowers bloom, autumn and winter will inevitably decline;When the clan relatives gather, they will eventually part with each other in life and death;The treasures, carriages and horses are actually owned by the five families.

 

《The Great Treasure Accumulation Sutra says: "All property is shared by five families: natural disasters, man-made disasters, thieves, government officials and prodigal sons.”;The beauty of wives and concubines is the basis of love and hate.Greed leads to worry and fear. If there is no greed, you can be worry-free and fearless.Ordinary people are in the world, and they make grudges and cause disasters. They are all caused by greed!”

 

When the four new monks heard this, they were happy and understood, ashamed and regretted, abandoned greed, and sought the Tao with all their hearts.

 

Ordinary people are in the world, and they make grudges and cause disasters. They are all caused by greed.Even if there is joy in everything in the world, it is not a permanent way to be happy.As lay disciples, you should abandon greed, practice diligently, and promote Buddhism.
