In ancient times, there was a boss named Liu Weng who opened a pawnshop.At the end of one year, he suddenly heard a noise outside the door, which was very noisy. When he went out, he found that there was a poor neighbor outside the door. The guy at the counter was arguing with the man at the door, and he immediately came back to tell the boss:“Boss, this man mortgaged the money for us. Now he comes to get the clothes and get the clothes empty-handed, without paying them back.If he doesn't give him clothes, he will curse. Can there be such an unreasonable person?”When the boss saw that the poor neighbor outside the door was still scolding fiercely. Not only did he refuse to leave, he sat at the door of the pawnshop.Seeing this, the boss, Mr. Liu, calmly said to the poor neighbor:“Oh, friends, I understand what you mean, are you just going through the difficulties for the New Year?Is this kind of small thing worth fighting for?”So he asked the clerk to find some of his pawn items, including about four or five clothes and mosquito nets.The boss Liu Weng pointed to the cotton jacket and said:“This is my cotton jacket, very good. I give it to you, and I must not lose the cold resistance.”He pointed to the robe and said:“This one is for you to wish you a New Year, and you can take your clothes.”The poor neighbor was embarrassed to make trouble again when he got the clothes. He saw the boss giving him a cotton jacket, so he left immediately. Unexpectedly, that night, this poor man died at someone else's home.It turned out that this poor man had been in a lawsuit with others for several years, and he was so bankrupt that he was heavily in debt and didn't want to live anymore, so he took the poison first.He knew that Liu Weng was a rich man and wanted to blackmail him a lot of money, but his boss Liu Weng didn't take his tricks and was not foolishly accused of his venting.So he moved to another house.Someone asked Liu Weng:“Boss, why can you tolerate him beforehand?”Weng Liu replied:“Anyone who is unreasonable provocation must have something to rely on.If you can't bear it in small matters, then disaster will come immediately.”People admire the boss's insight after hearing this. Buddhists should understand that only by knowing oneself and the enemy can you win people's hearts. In interpersonal communication, when you can't figure out the other person's intentions and ideas, you must not offend the other person easily.The same is true at home. Today, when your wife is about to have a big fuss with you, she must have something to rely on;When a man wants to lose his temper with you today, he must want to give up with you, so in this case, when he wants to make trouble with you, he must be prepared.So, what should we Buddhists do?Learn to endure humiliation and resolve disasters.In fact, the joys, sorrows, failures and successes in our world are temporary.Things in the world are impermanent, happiness will pass, and pain will pass quickly.The happiness that people pursue desperately will soon be lost, because everything is impermanent, and impermanence means learning to face it.To receive more exciting content, please follow the WeChat official account:
