Dabao: All suffering arises because you only care about yourself and ignore others!

"Being a good person" is a foundation in the world, after a child has integrity, honesty, responsibility and other kind concepts, and then further learning culture and knowledge, it will make his life more purposeful, and he can use this knowledge to serve more people.

If you don't have basic good concepts, sometimes you learn a lot of knowledge, but you will misuse it. "Kindness" is not only the foundation of everything in the world, but also in Buddhist practice.

Because the foundation of mind cultivation is to have a good heart, the saint is always for him, and the ordinary man is always for himself, and the fundamental thing to become a good person is to think more about others and pay more attention to the life around him.

Only in this way is life meaningful, and a truly good person is to be able to let go of himself, pay attention to others, and benefit others. "Altruism" is not something that is about to be done right away.

Instead, we should think about the relationship between ourselves and others, the causes and conditions for our own survival, and the concept of equality for ourselves and others. Only by calming your disturbed heart can you have a little experience of a meaningful life.

Although we are all affected by many causal conditions, the choice of good and evil is still in our own hands. To give an example: if a person has five apples, but he does not share them with others, then he can only taste the apples.

If a person knows how to share, then those who get apples will share other fruits with this person in the future, and this person will taste grapes, oranges, mangoes, and so on.

We are like people who hold five apples in their hands, and the choice is actually in our hands on how to make these five apples bring more joy to ourselves and others.

The scriptures say: "Suffering arises from selfishness, and Buddha is born from altruism." The root of all suffering is selfishness, so conflicts and disputes between countries in the world, between different societies, races, and groups are all caused by only caring for oneself and ignoring others.

All life in the world is closely related to us, and if we want to be happy, we must cherish all life and the environment around us.

But we usually don't care, we don't care, and we only wake up when we encounter an emergency. Therefore, before talking about altruism, we must first recognize the closeness and importance of the relationship between self and others, so that we can further altruism.

The real first step in how to be altruistic is to change yourself first, and when you become good, there will be one less wicked person in the world. If you don't change, you will be nosy and overzealous, and you will be easily influenced by evil people.

If you prepare yourself before helping others, because you have your own experience in dealing with troubles, what you say when reminding others is really powerful, so altruism starts with changing yourself.
