Learn To Decline With Humility!I allow children to ride in my mini-car as encouragement to better themselves. Therefore, you must not have the wrong concept that you must sit in my mini-car, even if you have to squeeze and push. If you qualify, I will chase after you asking you if you want to take a ride. At that time you can say, "I do not want to!" (Master and everyone laugh.) Then you are terrific, is that not right? It may not do us any good by chasing after or demanding this and that all the time. We should contribute voluntarily instead of always asking for things. This is the correct concept. Therefore, teach your children from childhood, the spirit of patience, sharing and declining with humility. |
As long as we are still in this illusionary world, we should provide for ourselves, train ourselves, play with these tools, experiment with our ability and intelligence. Let's see what life has to offer, let's see what tomorrow will bring, with our intelligence and ability? We watch life growing inside us; we watch life changing with the seasons; we watch our tools bringing benefit to ourselves, our family and the society at large. |
Wisdom is one thing. Intelligence and ability are another. Wisdom we keep. Wisdom can never be taken away from us. Wisdom can never be trained, can never be defiled, can never be lessened or increased. |
Anything that is wrong will remain wrong a hundred years later, if you do not rectify it. It won't become right just because you do not see it. Therefore, we must correct our mistakes. Just like when you are wearing clothing inside out, no matter where you are, wouldn't you try to wear it the correct way round? You cannot say that since you have been wearing it this way, and have travelled a hundred kilometers, "Why bother changing now?" If you don't change it, it will remain inside out. |
