The female head nurse classmate wondered if she was looking for someone in China to dress up as a Thai monk and take a photo. The business manager hurriedly pointed to a few photos: "How is it possible, where can I find so many Thai-style temples? And you see, this was taken by Tian Li at the gate of Bangkok Airport, everyone else has gone to Thailand, it is necessary to fake?"

I also said: "Lao Meng is a person who understands, although the Thai amulet is good, after all, it is not a giant panda, as long as you have money in your pocket, you can invite it when you find the right place in Thailand." But no one can afford to spend thousands of dollars to travel to Thailand for a piece of amulet that is less than 2,000 yuan, right? That's why there is a market for amulet dealers like me. ”

Everyone nodded their heads, and I explained to them the origin, materials and functions of each Buddha card one by one. More and more students came, and it didn't take long for nearly twenty people to sit. Listening to my explanation, some of these people were surprised, some were skeptical, some were sneering, and some were confused. The beauty salon owner surnamed Dong asked: "I know that many rich people wear Thai Buddhist cards, especially those singers and actors, I have seen Sammo Hung and Adu wear them with my own eyes in Guangzhou." But I don't believe in that thing, wearing a Buddha card can be transferred to make a fortune and become famous, so what kind of effort do you have to work on, what class do you go to? Just buy a Buddha card!" This remark caused everyone to nod their heads, and a few classmates who usually look down on me even got the opportunity, one sneered, saying that I finally did some business, and I still lied after a long time, don't be fooled.

The scene was quite unfavorable to me, and I felt that this trip was in vain, not only did it not broaden my network, but it also had the opposite effect. Dick silk is dick silk, and you can't turn it over. "Don't talk nonsense here, people say that Thai amulets have an effect, unless they are fake. Tian Li, you won't fool your old classmates, will you?" asked me, although he had a smile on his face, he was obviously a little suspicious.

Somehow, I suddenly felt a surge of anger in my heart, laughed a few times and said: "Celebrities have already gained fame and fortune, even if they don't wear Buddha cards, they are richer and more powerful than us people." But why do they have to spend hundreds of thousands or more of money to go to Thailand to come back and wear a Buddhist card?"

"Why?" asked Ma.

I said, "It's because people want to change their flights." ”

The head nurse asked, "What is a change of luck?"

I said, "That's right, it's not right, be aware that it's luck." To put it simply, luck is the kind of turning point that people have in the dark. For example, if you want to interview, there are two companies to go to today, you can only choose one, randomly choose a company, work for two years, become the vice president of the company, and since then you have been promoted step by step. But what would have happened if you had chosen a different company?"

"That's definitely not as good as this company!" replied Lao Meng, the business manager. I smiled and said that it was only half right, if you chose another one back then, maybe it was very bad, but maybe it would be better, maybe you are a multimillionaire now, this is called luck, that is, your own invisible choice of fate. This kind of choice seems to be mostly based on randomness, luck, but it is not, it depends on your own practice.

Classmate Dong came to the heart: "Oh mom, I'm still involved in cultivation, we don't have a monk here, right?"

I said, "Cultivation is not the same thing as a monk, what is cultivation? Everything a person does in this life is practiced, and the good things he does are called cultivation, and the bad things are called karma." For example, if you help someone today, it is practice, and tomorrow you scold the security guard of the community, it is the ostomy industry. In the long run, if you do more good things, you will have good luck, and if you do more bad things, you will have bad luck. And the amulet card is those who have great practice, such as monks, they will pour their practice into the amulet card in the form of mantras, and after you wear it, you sincerely worship it, do more good deeds, and those practices will have a positive impact on you, and only then will you be able to make a choice that is beneficial to you. This choice is very subtle, and it may take a long time to see the good or the bad, so it is said to be an arrangement in the dark. Whether you are rich or poor, you will encounter countless luck, and no matter how good you are, you may also be able to make a big mistake in one thing, so celebrities should ask for Buddhist cards. ”

Even I was dumbfounded when I said this, and I believed it. The classmates looked at each other and nodded yes. Classmate Dong was obviously not convinced: "Come on, what kind of practice, monks are all liars, I never enter the temple!"

Without waiting for me to reply, the female classmate who opened the biscuit factory spoke: "Lao Dong, this kind of thing can't be talked about, my whole family believes in Buddhism, our family's business has been smooth for so many years, and our family is healthy, I think this is the reward of believing in Buddhism." ”

"Han Jia is right, although there are many monks who are fools and have no practice, it does not mean that there are no monks who are really cultivated, right? There may not be many in China, but I believe that Thailand definitely does. I heard that it is a country where all people believe in Buddhism, and it can't be compared with China. Lao Meng said.

During the discussion, the limelight gradually tilted to my side, and Dong was obviously a little embarrassed. Another classmate asked: "Tian Li, if you don't have any cultivators, is it good to wear a Buddha card?"

I said, "As long as it is not a great evil, and after wearing the Buddha card, you will have more kindness and do more good deeds, and the Dharma will bless you." But if you really don't do any good things, don't worry, the Buddha will never bless such people, and it's useless to be covered with Buddha cards. The man nodded.

The head nurse smiled and said, "But I always think this thing is quite mysterious, I don't believe in Buddhism, and I don't oppose it, but I feel that this kind of invisible and untouchable thing is not very reliable." Are Thai Buddhas more powerful than China? Why are those Guanyin Maitreya Buddha's jade pendants not so effective, but Thai Buddha cards can?"

I thought to myself, fortunately, I consulted Kaohsiung that day about this knowledge, otherwise I would have to be asked, so I said, "China believes in Mahayana Buddhism, while Southeast Asia mostly believes in Theravada Buddhism, also known as Theravada Buddhism." The biggest difference is in language, the Mahayana sutras are in Sanskrit, and the Hinayana sutras are in Pali. Mahayana Buddhism is more difficult to practice and has slow results, but it is very powerful, while Hinayana Buddhism is relatively simple to practice and has quick results, but it is very difficult to achieve positive results. ”

Speaking of this, my classmates admired me more and more, but I had already begun to break out in a cold sweat, because this is all I know, and I won't say a word more, all of which I have learned and sold to contribute. Fortunately, they didn't ask any more professional questions, because they started to serve the food. I put all the goods into my purse, the waiter opened the beer, and everyone raised their glasses and drank in twos and threes. Someone actually turned out the graduation photos taken that year, a total of more than 40 people, less than 30 people present, one by one sat down, and then each introduced the latest situation.
