Zhang Shaofei smiled: "Yes, it's here." I wish you, uncle, please be seated. ”

After speaking, Zhang Shaofei sat down first, closed his eyes, and soon entered a state of pleasant and comfortable meditation.

Zhu Fugui saw his safe and comfortable demeanor and sat down as well.

The forest was quiet, and the sunlight seemed to be dyed green through the layers of leaves; After the wind is combed by the woods, it is refreshing and intoxicating.

Zhu Fugui, a wealthy man on the rich side, has not been so leisurely among the mountains and rivers as he is today. The unique fragrance of the woodland and the sound of the bubbling stream made him feel a long-lost cordiality and an inexplicable touch.

A large grasshopper spreads its colorful wings and flies over their heads. Le Zhidan crept away and went to the edge of the forest to catch grasshoppers.

When Zhu Fugui saw her, he couldn't help but think of his childhood, that carefree, simple and happy time......

At that time, the mountains and rivers here were not surnamed Zhu, and the Zhu family was just an ordinary home in the mountains. Like all the children in the mountains, he was left in the mountains, hung in the woods, and floated in the streams. A wildflower, a grasshopper, a school of small fish, can bring them great surprises. As a result, their happy laughter echoed in the mountains and forests all day long, flowing like a rushing stream......

The woods were lively with silence: magpies were chirping, building houses with long and short dry branches; The woodpecker knocked here and looked there, and the forest was filled with the sound of its work.

The sound of woodpeckers tapping and slapping shook a bright smile on Zhu Fugui's face. He knew that the hollows left behind by woodpeckers often became new homes that sparrows liked. As a child, he and his friends often climbed trees and pulled out a few sleek sparrow eggs, or fluffy little sparrows, from the hollows of the trees......

Once, he put his hand into the hollow of the tree and touched something cold, and the Bodhisattva blessed him, so that he immediately realized that he was catching a snake! He trembled with fear and fell from the tree. Fortunately, he let go in time and didn't catch the snake, otherwise he would definitely have been bitten hard.

The beautiful and the ugly, the warm and the cold, are mixed together. Just like this mountain, this water, and this forest, they were all fun little sparrows, but when you hold them tightly in your hands and become your own private property, you know that this is a greedy poisonous snake: one moment you are worried that naughty children are playing with fire and igniting the mountains and forests, and the next you are worried about someone stealing trees; If it doesn't rain, you're worried about drought, and when it rains, you're afraid of floods...... The heart that can't be, the worries that can't be bought, either suffer or lose, endlessly, the cycle repeats, and I have to wake up several times every night......

Since then, the simple and fulfilling satisfaction, the unrestrained joy, have become distant dreams, and they can never be found again.

A crystal tear oozed from the corner of Zhu Fugui's eyes.

When he opened his eyes, Zhang Shaofei was looking at him with a smile. He wanted to laugh too, but the smile was very sour, very sad, and he sighed unconsciously.

Zhang Shaofei asked with concern, "Why is Uncle Zhu sighing?" ”

Zhu Fugui said: "The old man has long heard people say: his waist is wrapped in gold and silver, and he can't eat three meals a day; Even though there are tens of millions of mansions, they only occupy three or four feet wide for sleeping. But I haven't woken up, I haven't seen through, and I'm reluctant to let go. Now it seems that I, the richest man in Tianlu Mountain, is not as happy as you, an empty-handed outsider. ”

Zhang Shaofei said with a smile: "I wish Uncle Zhu to use his talents to accumulate thousands of family properties, there is nothing wrong with it, the key is the way to have it and the method to use." As he spoke, Zhang Shaofei picked up a handful of fine sand from the sand, poured a part of it into Zhu Fugui's hand, and let him hold it tightly. However, the harder he clutched, the faster the sand drained away, and in the end there was not much left. At the same time, Zhang Shaofei opened his palm, but the sand in his hand rarely fell.

Zhang Shaofei then said: "Property is like sand in this hand, the more you want to grasp it and hold it tightly, the faster it will be lost; And if you take it out and share it with the public, not only will it not decrease, but it may increase. ”

Zhu Fugui didn't believe it. Wealth will only be used less and less, how can there be a reason to increase instead of decreasing?

Zhang Shaofei knew that he didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhu, it seems that you often feel the pain of losing and wasting money, but you rarely experience the joy of giving money." It's like you have a vast mountain land, but you rarely feel the tranquility of the forest as you do today. ”

Zhu Fugui had to nod.

Zhang Shaofei said: "People often say that good steel is used on the blade. Similarly, the value of wealth creators can only be fully demonstrated by using money where it is needed most. This is like the same bag of rice, which is moldy, which naturally makes people feel distressed; If you give alms to the hungry, you may save a life. I believe that saving people must bring Uncle Zhu a sense of honor, accomplishment and happiness more than waste. ”

Zhu Fugui was very embarrassed, because in the past, he often put the grain stored at home to be moldy, and he was reluctant to take it out to help his neighbors. Now that I think about it, I do feel ashamed, ridiculous, and stupid.

Zhang Shaofei also said: "Using the wealth in your hands in the right place and letting it play its due role will inevitably bring great happiness to those who have wealth, and will inevitably stimulate his motivation and wisdom to create more wealth." At the same time, building bridges and roads, helping the needy and helping the needy will greatly improve a person's credibility, and people will naturally be willing to deal with him, and then the financial road will be wide and the financial resources will be rolling. Besides, generosity accumulates great blessings and is blessed by the Bodhisattva. So you see, those famous and benevolent people in the world are not only rich and rich, but also often old birthday stars who are blessed and healthy, and have children and grandchildren. ”

Zhu Fugui thought about it seriously, indeed, as Zhang Shaofei said, those famous families who are rich and noble are all good families. And those nouveau riche who are deceived and abducted, their children and grandchildren are almost all ruined sons with all kinds of poisons, and their families will soon be ruined. He recalled what Zhang Shaofei had said to him that day, and every word was really heartfelt, all for his own good. So, he knelt down in front of Zhang Shaofei and said sincerely: "Old man...... No, no! Disciples, disciples are stupid, they have not had the opportunity to listen to the teachings of the master before, and they do not know the mysteries of the Dharma. ”

Zhang Shaofei folded his salute and picked him up, smiled and said, "Buddhism talks about the word 'yuan'. Now, the opportunity for me to meet Uncle Zhu has arrived, so I came uninvited and came to the door. ”

Zhu Fugui said: "The disciple understands the truth that 'the sea of suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore'. I voluntarily donated all the land of Tianlu Mountain to the master for the master's use. ”

Zhang Shaofei shook his head and said with a smile: "There's no need for that, if you can donate a few acres of land to build a temple, I will be grateful." ”

Zhu Fugui said sincerely: "The disciple is sincere. ”

Zhang Shaofei said: "If you have this heart of generosity, and then practice it, you can give up all greed and attachment, and your soul will be liberated." At the same time, giving alms to the monks has great merit. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will bless you with no disasters and diseases, peace of mind and good health. ”

Zhu Fugui muttered to himself: "Thank you for the teaching, thank you for the teaching......
