【九月】放下才能拿起，布施才能獲得。 ….
【九月】放下才能拿起，布施才能獲得。
.
我們只有一雙手，想抓住的太多、能抓住的太少；
只有放下小我、才能去實現大我。
.
放下是「捨」的最高境界，放下那些游離於本我之外的東西，才能轉而向內探求自己真正需要什麼。如果放不下名利地位的追求，你就不能瀟灑地追求超然物外的生命高度；如果放不下自我獲得的執著，你就不能肩負起更大的社會承擔。
.
一個人有錢是福報，善用錢財才是智慧。如果將這份福報布施出去、利益眾生，就等於把福報放大了若干倍，反饋回來的將會是收穫更大的福報。

【September】 Let go of the old before picking up the new; give before you receive
All of us have only a pair of hands. We have immeasurable desires that we wish to grab hold of, but can only hold on to so little. Only by letting go will we be able to discover our magnanimous and big-hearted self
Letting go is the highest state of generosity. Only by letting go of things that are extrinsic to the self can we look within our selves to find out what you really need. If you are unable to let go of the pursuit of fame and fortune, you can’t pursue the height of life beyond the detachment; if you can’t let go of the desire of wanting, you are unable to shoulder a larger commitment and responsibility towards the society.
A person who is wealthy has a blessed life. Being able to make good use of the money is wisdom. If you share this blessing with others and benefit all sentient beings, it will amplify your blessing by several times. The blessings that you receive in return will be a larger than what you originally gave.

人為什麼會有貧窮、富貴的差別? . 從前…
人為什麼會有貧窮、富貴的差別?
.
從前有個國家的公主心血來潮，穿了便裝帶了侍女出遊，當公主走到了市集中，看到有很多乞丐在兩旁乞討，非常的憐憫，回宮後就請父皇下令，分出部份國庫給窮人，讓大家都擁有同等財富。但是沒過多久，貧窮的人還是一樣貧窮，富貴的仍然富貴。公主很納悶，為什麼會這樣呢。
.
因為富貴的人，有富貴的基因，貧窮的人有貧窮的基因。
所謂的「基因」又是如何造成的，該如何解決呢？
歡迎來聽聽我的說法，關於六度之「布施」的意含。
.
喜歡就請分享，多傳多福！

Why are there differences in people – some live in poverty; others in great wealth?
Once upon a time, the princess of a country had a whim. She decided to wear casual clothes and explore outside the palace with her maids. When the princess reached the crowded city centre, she saw many beggars on both sides of the street. Feeling sorry for them, she returned to the palace and requested the king to order part of the country’s wealth to be distributed to the poor so that everyone has the same wealth. But not long after, the poor remained as poor as before, and the rich were still rich. The princess wondered why it was so.
This is because the rich carry “rich” genes, and the poor carry “poor” genes.
How does the so-called “gene” evolve, and how do we resolve it?
You are welcome to join in my discussion relating to one of the Six Perfections – giving – to explore its true meaning.
Please share if you like.
More sharing, more blessings!

行善者恆富 . . 俗云：積「善」之家，…
行善者恆富
.
.
俗云：積「善」之家，必有餘慶，行「善」之人必有厚福。
.
「行善」是最幸福的人，也是創造人生好命運的基本功課，我們若想未來的命運富貴、吉祥，那就從現在就開始學著做吧。
.
因為「富貴、吉祥」是無所求的善所招感~
但要記得「勿以善小而不為，勿以惡小而為之。」
我們布施時心態不同，結果也會不同。

Those who do good enjoy everlasting wealth
.
As the Chinese saying goes: “ The family that accumulates good merits by performing kind deeds will be rewarded with abundant happiness and fortune.”
.
Charitable people are blessed throughout their lives and these acts of kindness are also the basis for a life filled with good fortune. If we want to be prosperous and auspicious in future, then we need to start learning how to be charitable now.
.
Prosperity and auspiciousness are attracted by unconditional acts of kindness.
However, do remember that there is no good deed that is too small nor is there an evil deed that is insignificant.
Depending on our mindset when performing these charitable acts, the impact on our lives can be very different.

真正的超越是在「捨」字上下功夫，
逐漸消滅自我的貪執。給別人利益時，
其實自己正獲得更大、更長久的利益。
.
The real transcendence is putting in effort on “giving” to
gradually eliminate the self greed. When we give others benefits,
in fact, what we get in return is much bigger and more long-term interests.

能勞動是件幸福的事
.
能勞動、能工作是件幸福的事，但一些人並不喜歡多付出、多做事。在公司裡，覺得工作是為了老闆而做的，只要老闆不盯著，就會開始混水摸魚。這種觀念並不正確，工作是因為生活需要，無論什麼樣的工作，老闆花錢雇用你，換個角度說，都算是你的衣食父母，讓你的老婆孩子生活無憂。雖然工作很辛苦，但是如果沒人雇用你的話，一家的生計就有問題了。
.
我在美國有個弟子，是個年輕小夥子，他說老闆什麼雜事都叫他做，連家裡的芝麻小事都要找他，他問我：「我要不要辭職呢？」我說：「再等一下，如果我沒有要你辭職，你千萬別亂來。」不到兩個月，老闆因為產品賣得太差而裁員了三分之一，卻把他留了下來。而且現在他還成為部門經理，薪資漲了一倍，每天都很快樂，而且每天都提早半小時上班，先打掃公司環境。他做這些事的目的，並不是希望老闆幫他加薪，而是完全出於自覺，想多做點事，而且是為了自己而做，做得也快樂。
.
有能力服務別人，是件值得高興的事，代表你是一個有價值的人。尤其如果能抱持著開心的態度來工作，不僅工作時特別有效率，幸福感也會油然而生。
.
其實熱愛勞動的人，就是熱愛生活的人，無論對工作還是家庭，多承擔、多付出、多勞動，這樣，不僅可以找到快樂，生活也會越來越精彩。

Being Able to Work is a Blessed Thing
Having the ability to work is a very fortunate thing, but some people do not like to contribute or do more than others. They think that they are working for the benefit of their bosses. The moment the boss is not watching over them, they would begin to slack off and take advantage of the company. Such an attitude is wrong. We are working for our own benefit, to meet our own needs in life. Regardless of what kind of job it is, as long as your boss is paying you to do it, he is paying for the bread and butter in your life and he is the reason why your wife and children are able to lead carefree lives. The work might be hard, but if nobody is willing to employ you, you will have trouble making ends meet.
A young disciple of mine in United States once told me that his boss made him do all sorts of trivial tasks, including running personal errands for him. He asked me whether he should resign. I told him: “Wait for a while more. If I don’t tell you to resign, do not do anything rash.” Fewer than two months later, the company had to retrench one-third of the staff due to poor product sales. However, not only was this disciple of mine retained in the company, he was promoted to the position of a departmental manager and his salary was doubled. He became very happy at work, and even turned up half an hour early to clean the office. He did all this not because he hoped to get a pay raise from it. It was all done on his own initiative, out of a desire to do more, for his own sake. He has found happiness.
Having the ability to be of service to other people is something to be happy about as it means that you are a person with value. If you can maintain a happy attitude at work, not only will you be especially efficient, you will also feel immensely happy and fortunate.
A person who loves to work is someone who appreciates life. Someone who is willing to shoulder more responsibilities, to give and to work more will find happiness and lead a more fulfilling life.
