From the story of billionaires, I saw ...

I used to know a girl when I was working on a project. At first, we all thought she was warm, cheerful and lovable.

She has two handsome sons, and her husband is the owner of a small business. I met him once, and I think he is a loyal and honest man.

In addition, their family is also very rich. My sister once invited me to her home. In Shanghai, she has four houses, each of which is 100-200 square meters, all of which are for one household. The elevator needs to swipe its card to press the floor, which is very imposing. It is said that my sister had long foreseen that house prices would continue to soar, so she bought these properties. When I heard these things, I admired her vision and courage. Relying on these houses, she easily became a billionaire and became the winner of life in everyone's eyes.

But with the growth of time together, I gradually found that my sister also had a lot of dissatisfaction with her family in private. I often hear her complain about her father and husband from time to time and think that fate is unfair to her.

But what is the real situation?

Although my sister's financial situation is not as good as her own, she has been mainly responsible for taking care of her parents at home. At that time, their father was over 90 years old, but his mind was still clear. He once said to her, "I gave you the best thing, that is, your clever head, which made you have so much." Your sister is not as clever as you, but she has been taking care of us, so this house will be left to your sister in the future. "

It stands to reason that the old man has the right to dispose of his property. His father's handling method is really wise, and the rest of us will applaud him when we hear it. However, this billionaire sister was furious. She felt that her father was partial to her sister, often complained in front of outsiders, and even lied that she bought her father's house. It was only later clarified by my family that she didn't buy it.

In addition, the elder sister is also very dissatisfied with her husband, because she thinks others are honest and incompetent, and she suspects that he has someone outside, so she often complains.

At first, we thought she just disliked her husband's lack of money, because we often heard her say, "I am very anxious, very anxious." Look outside, everyone is robbing money. I dare not slack off! " Later, I learned that among the four houses, she bought two suites with the loan from her husband. However, there is great pressure to repay the loan every month, and she often relies on credit cards to pay it back.

And beside her, there is a so-called "master" who prays for her every day, hoping that she can live to be 80 years old. My sister is eager to live with each other. What is even more frightening is that in order to achieve this goal, she also wants to find a folk warlock to "practice" and hopes that her husband will die early.

However, her husband is not only not dead, but also alive and well, but she is overwhelmed by desire. A mutual friend of ours once told me that before the Spring Festival that year, my sister often called him at night, saying that she couldn't sleep, the pressure of mortgage, and the investment in a project, and the capital turnover couldn't come.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of 20 17, I suddenly heard an amazing news. This sister, who is worth hundreds of millions, suddenly fell to the ground with a cerebral hemorrhage when she was gathering with her middle school classmates. She died after being taken to the hospital. At that time, she was less than 60 years old. Not only will those so-called dreams never come true, but all the hard-earned value of her life will be left to her husband who once despised her.

I didn't study Buddhism at that time, and I was shocked for a long time after learning the news.

After entering the Buddha a few years later, knowing the cause and effect, and looking back, it is another kind of chilling.

I remember in the scripture, once when the Buddha and Ananda passed through a ditch, the Buddha suddenly said to Ananda, "Ananda! Viper! " Ah, he looked at it and echoed, "Snake! Buddha! "

There happened to be a father and son working in the field next to him. After the Buddha and Ananda left, the two people who heard the conversation quickly came to watch. As a result, they found that the so-called poisonous snake turned out to be an altar of gold!

It was the time of the Persian king. According to the law, all the property on the land belongs to the king, but the father and son became greedy and secretly moved the gold back home.

Later, they took a piece of gold to the gold shop for exchange. When the owner of the gold shop saw that they were poor, he became suspicious and reported the situation to the government. After some interrogation and search, the father and son were arrested, convicted of stealing the king's property and about to be sentenced to death.

On the execution ground, the father and son thought of the dialogue between the Buddha and Ananda and could not help repeating it. It was heard by the king, so they asked further questions and learned what had happened before.

Finally, the king asked his father and son, "This is a revelation from the Buddha. Do you believe in Buddhism now? " The father and son replied, "It was really a poisonous snake that killed us. Really more terrible than the serpent! " "The king of Persia released them because of their awakening.

Let's take a look at this girl's experience again. Isn't that the portrayal of this story? Because of her greed (greed for money and power), anger (complaints about her family and hatred for her husband), ignorance (superstition about her so-called master) and suspicion (suspicion that her husband is outside), she was swallowed up by a series of "poisonous snakes" and ruined her perfect life.

Sadly, something similar happened to me.

Once, I was dissatisfied with my ex-husband by 100 people. With his connivance, I always bossed him around and never praised his merits. In the 3-4 years before divorce, the word "divorce" rose in my mind countless times, and the result was that all my wishes were definitely realized.

Because of my ignorance, during the divorce, I also had the obsession of monopolizing two houses. But in the end, in order to successfully divorce, I chose to give up.

But then, on the one hand, Shanghai's housing prices kept rising, on the other hand, my investment failed. My heart is getting more and more unbalanced, and my grievances have nowhere to vent. At present, the teacher said, "When you meet someone who is jealous and resentful, you will know that this is a heart in hell, buried deep in the bloody battlefield." It can be seen that pain is as heavy as hatred! I'm like that, my heart is bleeding!

Fortunately, I still have some blessings myself. In this life, I met Buddhism, Luyuan and my present teacher. Every time I hear the teacher's class, it is a kind of enjoyment, just like being washed away by a clear spring.

With the deepening of my study, I feel more and more that I am really wrong. I slowly blindfolded, unable to see the strengths of others, and cruelly trampled on the self-esteem of people around me. I'm sorry! No wonder the teacher said, "learning to find the bright spots in everyone and the advantages in others is the happiest way."

From this, I feel deeply sorry for my sister, and often use her experience to warn myself that I want to return the merits I have cultivated to her, hoping that she will wake up as soon as possible and get pleasure from suffering.

Two years ago, I completely put down my resentment and disdain for my ex-husband. I used to pass by two old houses, and my heart ached inexplicably. After passing the old house recently, I was only grateful and blessed. I hope he will be all right!

Although I am still single at present, I am not as easily influenced by the situation as I used to be, and I have no fear of the past.

To outsiders, my situation may not have improved much, but my heart has changed from being obsessed with the economy to being calm, giving up the freedom of living alone and taking care of my parents. In this process, I feel more and more that this is a good opportunity for self-cultivation, and every moment is perfect. My parents are my bodhisattvas!

Anyone who wants to see the fate of this article can get some help from it.

May we cherish the present, but do good deeds and the future of Mo Wen.
