In the past, there was a rich man with a dark and dull root, stupid and rude.One day, I arrived at a wealthy house and saw three floors, tall, broad, and beautiful, and spacious.Therefore, my heart becomes thirsty and thinks about this. All my money and wealth will not be reduced to that, so why not create such a building?The foolish man returned home immediately, built a construction worker, and asked the worker, "Do you know the building of a rich family?""The worker replied: "It was made by us, how could I not know it.""The foolish man said: "That is to follow the same building and create a work for me.""It is time for employees to dig the ground, establish the foundation stone, and build the building.When the old man saw that he had put up a house, he was still confused and asked, "What do you want to do?""The worker replied: "Make three floors.""The foolish man said again: "I don't want to build a lower two-story house, can I first make the uppermost floor for me?""The worker replied: "There is nothing in the world. Don't do one or two floors, but have three floors of buildings?"The foolish man said, "I will never need to lower the second floor now, and I will be the top floor for me.""A group of workers were very surprised to hear his stubborn words. If this person was not an idiot, he would be obsessed with money and said to him, "If we don't build a building at the grassroots level, we can't do it. You can ask another expert, and then we will disperse after the words.”
Note: Those who study Buddhism should first focus on improving the three studies and further study in order to achieve enlightenment and see the Buddha nature.The so-called three scholars are to learn "precepts", "concentration", and "wisdom".Precepts can defend against the evil karma caused by the three karmas of our body, speech and mind. We will definitely have the effect of meditation and concentration, and wisdom can eliminate delusions and observe the truth.
This is the three non-leakage learning, and practitioners should not practice indirectly. If they study wisdom in a partial way and do not practice precepts and concentration, they are called crazy wisdom.This crazy wisdom can make the mind scattered, the body and mouth silence, and the person is still not upright, let alone the Buddha nature.It is like a candle burning in the wind, shaking constantly, and there is a risk of extinguishing at any time. How can it shine clearly?It is equivalent to the third floor of the grassroots level. This building is called "Miracle", which is just a fantasy, and cannot be seen in fact.
《The Shurangama Sutra says: "Concentrate the mind as a precept, and conscience is born from precepts, and wisdom is born from concentration."Only by practicing the three in turn, you can enter the Tathagata's realm directly.Therefore, Master Daoan of the ancient destiny said: "The World Honored One establishes teachings, and there are three Dharmas: one is precepts, two is meditation, and three is wisdom.This is the three non-leakage learning, and even the path of the way, and the key to Nirvana.”
Being too ambitious and not seeking reality seems to be a common problem among most modern people. They try to climb to the top of everything, expect to go up, and ignore the so-called tricks of looking at the big picture and taking the small picture.Therefore, a good thing often leads to a miscarriage in the middle.You must know that those who seek the elder of the tree must strengthen their roots, and those who want to flow far must dredge their source.If the roots are not solid but the tree is long, and the source is not dredged and the flow is far away, it is tantamount to drilling ice to get fire. If this divergence is the case, there is no such principle in the world.The ancients said: "Walking far away will lead to your nearness, and climbing high will lead to your inferiority."Everything must start from the beginning, and do not take advantage of the situation from above and delay career.
