Legends of beggars and bodhisattvas

The legend of beggars and bodhisattvas:

Once upon a time, in a temple full of incense, a beggar often came to the temple to beg. Every time he sees devout believers coming to worship the Bodhisattva, he can't help feeling envious. He often thinks: Bodhisattva can get everyone's respect and support by sitting still every day, but I have to beg to make a living. This world is so unfair!

One day, the beggar met the Bodhisattva again in the temple. He couldn't help telling the Bodhisattva about his sufferings and complaining about the unfair world. The Bodhisattva listened to his complaint silently, and then said softly, "Son, don't complain, because there is nothing unfair in this world."

The beggar was surprised. He asked the Bodhisattva, "Then, why can you sit on the lotus platform and be worshipped while I beg everywhere?" The Bodhisattva smiled and replied, "Son, this is because you haven't realized your value and potential. The kindness and compassion in your heart are the seeds for you to become a bodhisattva. "

After listening to the bodhisattva, the beggar became enlightened. He decided not to complain and envy, but to discover his inner kindness and compassion. He began to help people in need inside and outside the temple. He tried his best to help those who suffered.

With the passage of time, the beggar's behavior touched many people. His kindness and compassion spread gradually, and more and more people began to follow his behavior and pass on their kindness and love to others. Therefore, beggars are respected and loved by more people.

Finally, the beggar became a bodhisattva that everyone respected. His story spread all over the world, and people followed his example and learned from his kindness and compassion. This story tells us that everyone has the potential to become a bodhisattva in his heart. As long as you explore hard and put it into action, you can become a bodhisattva in others' hearts.
