A small act can make you look beautiful and live longer!

This world contains too many mysteries. If we are lucky enough to get a few, it may be a good opportunity to change our lives.

Whether we can change or not depends on whether we can believe it when we hear it, do it if we believe it, and persevere in doing it. If you can persist, there will be changes.

This article will tell you the great life merit behind a small act.

Because of the law of cause and effect, in life, no matter what kind of results we let other beings get, it will eventually happen in ourselves.

The Buddhist scriptures tell us that giving food, that is, feeding people and animals, has five merits. I summarize it into five words - "fate, color, strength, peace and debate".

Life is destiny； Color is the color of color ； Force is the force of force ； An means safety; Bian means eloquence.

The merits brought to us by giving food are the full expression of the law of cause and effect.

First, life, giving food can extend our life.

Giving food turns out to be a way to prolong life. Animals often starve, and their lifespans are shortened. Some animals even starve to death because there is no food to eat. If we give them food, does that extend their lifespan? If we help other beings extend their lifespan, the same effect will be achieved on us.

Use plastic bags more often and don't waste them carelessly, which will also extend your life. There are many ways to extend life in this world, not just life-saving. All things have life, and if we prevent all things from being destroyed in advance, we are letting them live. For example, don’t throw away our mobile phones while they are still usable; don’t throw away our bags if they can be carried.

《The Disciple Rules tells us: Clothes are noble and clean, not luxurious. The top is divided and the bottom is called home. Let’s think about these sentences. Many people who study Buddhism are too persistent. Since they say they need to be frugal, they dress badly and look like members of a beggar gang. When others see it, even though most people who practice Buddhism are so poor, they still don’t practice Buddhism. This kind of influence is too bad. When we study Buddhism, we must be wise and bring confidence to others.

Second, color, the complexion will become smooth and rosy.

Do you think a hungry person has a better complexion and has better Qi and blood, or a person who has plenty of food and nutritious food has a better complexion and better Qi and blood? Of course, people with adequate food and nutritious food will have good skin color and complexion.

When we give food, we allow other people or animals to absorb nutrients, have a good complexion, have sufficient qi and blood, and our complexion will also become good. Therefore, women should give more food, and slowly they will find that their face is like a peach blossom, and they are white and rosy.

Third, force means having power.

Do you think humans and animals are more powerful when they are hungry or when they are full? It must be that they are more powerful when they are full. When we give food to an animal, it grows in strength, and in turn we grow in strength.

Although it is inconvenient to carry a lot of things when walking, I will hold some things in my hand, such as millet, and give them to me while walking. If I stop at any place, I will definitely take refuge in the lives of the sentient beings in the world of Ming and Yang.

When I give millet to sentient beings, I can't see it, but we know that there are countless invisible beings. We can invite them all over and give food to them.

We should also recite Buddha's name and dedicate it to all living beings who can be seen. When we meet birds and ants, we can give them some biscuits and they will be very happy. Seeing them happy makes me even happier. So I walked on the road alone. It was thrilling and hard, but very happy. I was as happy as in heaven.

Fourth, peace, peace of mind, tranquility, no anxiety, no restlessness.

We found that when kittens, puppies and other animals are full, they will feel very comfortable and comfortable, and they will settle down. Imagine that the puppy is full, licks its mouth, lies on the ground, pulls off its ears with its paws, covers its eyes like a blindfold, okay, sleep! Very peaceful!

When I was in Africa, I found that the animal that is least afraid of people is the lion. All other animals are afraid of people. The lion was full, and our car happened to drive by the lion. The lion just glanced at us sideways, ignored us at all, and closed its eyes directly, very leisurely.

Peace means that the heart is peaceful, tranquil and at ease. Giving food can bring peace of mind, without fear or anxiety.

Fifth, debate, it’s okay to argue.

I would like to ask everyone, do you have the strength to speak when you are full or when you are hungry? Of course you have the strength to speak when you are full. You see, when the bird is full, it jumps on the branch and sings melodiously.

When we give food and allow other beings to have the strength to speak, we will help ourselves to inspire the fruit of unimpeded eloquence.

Giving food is just a small action, but it can bring about so many consequences.

So we should be grateful to the Buddha in our hearts. If the Buddha doesn’t share it with us, how would we know?

We should be grateful to Buddha as a selfless teacher, and at the same time we should learn from him seriously. Only in this way can we grow.
