有一人向釋佛訴苦:「我不管做什麼事都會失敗,這是為什麼?」
A man lamented to Lord Buddha : ‘ No matter what I do, I failed, why is it so ?’
佛說:「因你從不佈施!」那人答說:「可我是一無所有的窮人!」
Buddha said: ‘Because you don’t give for charity!’ The man replied: ‘I am penniless.’
釋佛開示:「不對!即使你沒有財富,也可以給人 7 種佈施!」
Lord Buddha : ‘ That’s wrong, though you are not wealthy, you can practice 7 types generosity.’
2. 言施:向人說好話的佈施,存好心做好事做好人說好話,並勉人切實力行 .
2. Generosity of speech :
Talk with kind words, aspire to do good, be kind and encourage others to be earnest and to strive hard.
7. 察施:不用問對方就能察覺對方的心 , 並給予相對其所需的方便的佈
施 .
7. Generosity of senses:
Able to sense the feeling of a person without asking and offer assistance needed.
如果你能身體力行此 7 項佈施,生命也會跟著有所改變!
If you practice earnestly these 7 types of generosity, life would change.
人生有苦難,有重擔,人性有邪惡,有欺凌 ,
In life, there are hardship and burden;
There are good and evil characters;
There is humiliation.
但是到後來這些都對我有益處,苦難竟是化了妝的祝福 .
Nevertheless, all these benefit me in the end, for hardships are blessings in disguise.
