The Buddha said, "Do no evil." Why did the Buddha tell us not to do evil? Because we are always hurting sentient beings. When we analyze it from the perspective of greed, hatred, ignorance, jealousy, arrogance, or other causes harm to sentient beings, we understand that what the Buddha said, "Do not do all evils," is very great, and only the Buddha's great compassion can do it. If we want to make our lives happy, but often hurt others, when others in turn hurt ourselves, how can we be happy and happy in life? The pain that we can feel, all living beings have this ability to perceive. Therefore, "do no evil" also hopes that we will "do not do to others what you would not do to yourself".

Take killing as an example: in order to survive, whether you eat meat or vegetarian, people do a lot of sinful karma. When we eat meat, shrimp or fish on a plate, we feel very enjoyable, but we rarely think about the pain of being fried in a pan. You should think about it: if you change roles and become these beings and are put in a pot to decoction, will it be painful? The same goes for eating vegetarian vegetables, as the pesticides and fertilizers that farmers apply when they grow them alone have harmed millions of people. Some people still add Sudan dyes, formalin and other harmful substances to their food, and even make and sell gutter oil, which is a complete loss of conscience, which will definitely create a karma. They do it not to survive, but to make money and satisfy greed. These practices that disturb society and violate the law will be punished.

We often don't care when we do hurtful behavior to others, and conversely, we are unhappy when they hurt us. We have a lot of fun doing business and making other people's money, but when others make our money, we don't feel very comfortable. We are often blinded by greed and unconscious, remembering only our own interests and feeling nothing about the suffering of others. Therefore, when others are greedy, we will think that this person is really insatiable; And when you are greedy, you feel that you are very blessed, thinking that the more you greed, the more you will get. This is the extremely selfish side of ego, which always lowers its demands on itself, but often uses the standards of a magnifying glass to look at what others do.

In addition, if we encounter something unsatisfactory, such as being fired, it will be painful; But if the same thing happens to someone we don't like, we will be happy. Whenever we are in a bad mood, swearing words will come out of our mouths, and we don't allow others to get angry; And when others scold us, we are furious. When others praise us, we feel very happy; If it's the truth, it's right to be happy, but even if the other person is telling a lie, we're still complacent – that's where people are most vulnerable. It is a good thing for people to praise each other, but if you do not often praise others and expect others to praise you often, and at the same time think that the praise of others is consistent with the facts, then you should examine yourself, because people can never be perfect. In many cases, beautiful words alone cannot convey the true meaning, but our vanity always wants others to praise us in a nice but not practical way.

A person who likes to sow discord can still be proud of the group, family, friends or husband and wife who originally got along well; And when others treat him in the same way, pain will come to him. We are happy when others say good things to us and give us good things. If someone we don't like gets the blessing we desire, we can't help but feel miserable. Why? These should have nothing to do with themselves, but because they don't like each other and plant evil roots in their hearts, once they think that the other party can get things they don't deserve, the hatred born of jealousy will immediately work, and in the end, who will be hurt? Yourself, of course. Of course, we will be hurt by all kinds of distressing emotions and even unhealthy behaviors that arise because of an imbalance in our hearts.

If the happiness you are seeking arises from insulting others, and the satisfaction you seek is based on robbing others, envying others, or being arrogant to others, then this satisfaction is illusory and short-lived. Because the happiness you seek is closely related to others, when you are full of greed, hatred, ignorance, jealousy, and arrogance towards others, in turn, others will treat you in the same way. Therefore, we think that doing good things to ourselves will have a negative effect, making you unstable, unhappy, and unsatisfied, and it is impossible to produce happiness.

A selfish person, though he may have good learning and many skills, is too narrow in his mind to be of any use; A person who only pursues his own interests will often achieve his own goals by harming others. Such examples can be seen all around us. A selfish person, not only his friends will leave him, but even his closest family, husband, and wife will not be able to get along with him.

If selfishness can bring you true happiness and peace, we have no objection to that, but this is not possible. We have to have full self-confidence in ourselves, but excessive attachment can cause absolute damage. We see that the happier people in this world usually direct their hearts to the good aspect, and most of them go beyond themselves and think about others. A greedy person has to be greedy from external material things to internal intelligence, and sometimes it can work in a short time, but in the end, there will not be a moment of satisfaction, and what he gets is mostly negative. A person who is not greedy has a weak ambition and has fewer chances of success, but from a spiritual level, his success is permanent and his state of mind is happy.

Let's talk about hateful people, who are generally very bad-tempered. Although we often say that it doesn't matter if you have a bad temper, as long as you have a good heart, how can you see a good heart from the outside? Therefore, a short-tempered person will usually have a bad popularity, and his family, relatives and friends will hide away. And if you are jealous, it will make two people who love each other and want to go to marriage hand in hand, and finally divide things because of mutual suspicion. In the mortal world, where changes are faster and temptations are more frequent, our fragile hearts are easily susceptible, but I have found that many people's problems are not caused by external factors, but by their own suspicions.

So, when we don't do good deeds, our hearts will slowly fall.

If we can't control our hearts well, when facing the ups and downs of the external environment, there will often be magnificent turbulence in our hearts, and our emotions will rise and fall one after another. Because of our selfishness, most of the times when we encounter problems, the expression of emotions will be based on self-interest, which shows greed, hatred, stupidity, slowness, and doubt for people or things, and then the emotions will also change. In the mood of this chain reaction, most of them are bad words and deeds, and the feedback we get afterwards is unlikely to make us feel comfortable. If the mind is not timely to do good, then suffering will also follow happiness and become associated with us.
