拾金不昧改變一生

幾年前某個鎮上有位流浪漢，他每天在街上乞討，從沒有人去注意他。直到有一天，一位好心姑娘把零錢倒進乞討杯後，他的命運開始有了轉變。

那一天，流浪漢要準備回家休息，正檢查杯中一天下來的成果，赫然發現杯裡有個閃閃發亮的戒指。他懷疑是假的，於是就帶到珠寶店請老闆鑑定，老闆看了後告訴他，這是枚真鑽戒，而且價格不斐。

流浪漢得知後內心非常掙扎，因為賣了戒指，他就可以吃喝一整年不用愁了。但他轉念一想，戒指的主人一定是不小心把戒指丟到他杯子，而且這麼重要的東西一定非常著急，最後他決定不賣戒指離開了珠寶店。

隔天他回到原來的地方乞討，過了一陣子果然有位姑娘跑來，問他是不是有見到一枚戒指？他說：「有的，我為你好好的保存著。」並把戒指交給她。姑娘非常感激，但也沒多餘的錢可以幫助他，於是姑娘回去後，就把流浪漢的故事發佈在網路上，並為他申請了一個善款帳號。

流浪漢誠實的故事，在網路上引發了極大的討論，有記者得知後也來訪問他，受感動和同情的人們紛紛慷慨捐助，最後帳號共收到幾千筆款項，加起來高達十幾萬美金。電視的報導後，還讓誤以為流浪漢失蹤了的家人找到了他，他們全家也因此得以團聚了。現在流浪漢不僅有舒適的房子可以住，重要的是還能和家人在一起。

這個拾金不昧和善有善報的故事，讓我們看到人性的善良與溫暖。當今社會，有的人選擇欺騙，但也在無奈中被欺騙，用欺騙的手段待人，賺了一時的利益，但最終除了被騙，還會一無所獲。

如果做事的心態是善的，所希望的結果將會出現，所獲得的就是善果。做一個有情有義、知恩圖報和慈悲善良的人，才能消除罪業，積累深厚的功德資糧，讓我們現在和未來、乃至子女和親人都吉祥如意。

There was a vagrant in the streets who begged for handouts some years back. No one paid much attention to him. Until one day, a kind-hearted lady donated some pennies. Thereafter, his life and fortunes changed.
.
As he prepared to set off later that day, he tallied his “takings” in the begging bowl habitually. Amongst money, there lay a glistening ring. He had low expectations of the ring, but decided to have it examined by a jeweler anyway. To his astonishment, it was a genuine diamond ring, and was valuable.
.
Upon realizing the value of the diamond ring, the vagrant struggled consciously. On the one hand, he knew that he would not have to worry about his meals for the next year or so should he trade off the diamond ring. On the other hand, he thought about the owner of the ring, who must be panic-stricken upon realizing the loss. Eventually, he decided against selling the diamond ring.
.
The following day, he returned to the same spot to beg. After a while, a young lady indeed hurriedly came up to him, inquiring about a diamond ring. Without hesitation, the vagrant nodded and handed the diamond ring over, urging the young lady to keep it safely. This lady was immensely grateful, but did not have extra cash to assist the vagrant. So after she returned home, she subsequently posted her positive encounter with the vagrant on the internet. At the same time, she registered a charity account on his behalf.
.
The young lady’s encounter with the honest vagrant sparked off an internet sensation, leading to meaningful online discussions. Reporters interviewed him. Many were touched by his honesty and sympathetic toward his plight, and donated generously to his charity account. Soon, funds in the account rose from a few thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Further, the news coverage allowed the vagrant’s family to locate him successfully. Soon, he was reunited with his family, and had a nice, warm home to return.
.
This story of honesty, and in not taking other’s belongings illustrate the kindness and warmth of human nature. In today’s society, there are some who resort to defraud others, and in the process, suffer a similar fate. It is obvious that the immediate gains through dishonesty would eventually be lost.
.
We should note that with kind intentions and thus actions, positive results would manifest. A considerate, grateful and compassionate person can reduce poor karma and accumulate deep virtues. In this manner, such a person and his loved ones can enjoy sustained blissful and smooth lives across generations.
