These three words are the best ​Don't talk about it

Talk about Buddha's Zen and enlightenment of life
These three words are best not to be uttered

The so-called: If there are too many words, there will be mistakes, and disaster will come from the mouth! A person’s unintentional words often bring unexpected consequences.Some people may say, since this is the case, I play: silence is gold! In fact, this is going from one extreme to another.Because everything has a sense of proportion. Once you have a sense of proportion, no matter how much you say or how you lose it, it is the same.

So, instead of lingering in the literal meaning, it is better to discuss what words cannot be said often.Just so happened that the author saw a story about Zen master, and he talked about this issue very exquisitely.

Early this morning, a scholar came to Fahua Temple in panic to find Zen Master Wude.It turned out that the scholar came to take the exam, but he didn't pass the exam, so he sold calligraphy and paintings in the capital and wrote letters to make a living.When there is no business, I also write poetry and essays to pass the time.

Yesterday, the business was surprisingly bad, and the scholar also had no money for food and had been hungry for most days.So the scholar's grief and anger came, and he picked up his pen and wrote a poem.After writing, he was looking down at him and suddenly heard someone shouting in his ears: "It's obvious that he is a person who is not satisfied with talent. It's really not necessary that the court has buried such talents.”

The scholar looked up and saw that he was a luxuriously dressed man.The scholar was about to be humble, and then he threw a large silver ingot, then took off the jade pendant from his waist, put it on the poem and said, "The silver is for you to reward."Tomorrow, you will take your poem and this jade pendant and go to the prime minister's house, and there will be someone to receive it.”

After saying that, the man turned around and left.The scholar hurriedly chased after him, but suddenly several hideous people flashed out, standing in front of him, saying nothing, and stared at the scholar.This time the scholar seemed to understand something.So, today I came to see Zen Master Wude, hoping to ask the Zen Master to give me some advice. If I see the prime minister, what should I say?

After hearing this, Zen Master Wude smiled and said, "Just do three things without saying it! One: The prime minister doesn't ask, don't say it.Second: Don’t say anything you don’t know.Third: Don’t say anything you can’t do!”

A few days later, the scholar came again, but when he entered the door, he shouted that he would become a monk.Zen Master Wude understood that the scholar must have not been taken seriously by the prime minister.So he asked the scholar if he had done those three things without saying it?

The scholar cried and said, "I just said one more sentence, one more sentence..." Zen Master Wude asked, "What did you say more?"

The scholar said, "I really couldn't help it. I asked the prime minister, is the owner of the jade pendant long live now? The prime minister who has always been kind and suddenly became angry and scolded: Do you deserve to know this? Then he beat me out..."

1. If you lose your status or identity, you cannot say more

This Zen story took place in the ancient times with strict hierarchy, but now it is a modern society. So if there have been one or two times, it will probably not be harmful to any blessings. Therefore, the author redefined it as "don't say it often."

Is the scholar's blessings important? Very important! When he failed, he met the emperor and gave him a chance.Although you must pass the prime minister's assessment! But once you pass, you can imagine what the future of the scholar will be.Therefore, the scholar was very cautious and asked Zen Master Wude for advice, and got the "Three No Sayings".The first one is: the prime minister doesn’t ask, don’t say it!

This sentence actually represents identity and status.Because those with low status and those with high status have not yet asked, they talk nonsense. This is really a kind of confusion, but they are actually stupid!

Do you know what people care about? I don’t know anything. I just say something and I can only be looked down upon. I even left a comment that is “flim” or “unbearable”! What’s even more fatal is that if I am not careful, I can even tell the consequences.For example, the scholar asked, "Long live the owner of that jade pendant now?" This is not a question of beating, so the blessing will naturally disappear.

2. Don't say anything you don't know

This reflects the attitude of being a human being! People hate people who gossip.They are all disgusted with the people who are gossiping behind their backs, so these people are recognized as people who have no blessings.Because, they were inciting public anger!

And the same is true for knowledge, etc.As the saying goes, the sea of knowledge is endless. Who can be proficient in the world? There must be something you don’t know. This is normal. Not only is it not embarrassing, but it will gain respect and play a good role in promoting your own knowledge.If you always act like "I am the best in the world", you can only get one result: become a laughing stock! The blessing will be gone.

3. Don't say anything that can't be done

This reflects the credibility of being a person! China has attached great importance to the issue of credibility since ancient times, as the saying goes, "a promise of a thousand gold", "a gentleman's word is as good as a horse", etc.

In modern society, it is understandable that one breaks one promise twice.But if it becomes the norm, it will definitely be "people are upset when they see others, and flowers are defeated when they see them". Who will still cooperate and work with you? Therefore, people must have credibility - don't say it if they can't do it! Once they lose credibility, blessings will disappear, which is inevitable!
