If a person does not have a big heart, he will fall into narrow-mindedness and selfishness (good in-depth article) Xue Mo If a person does not have a big heart, he will fall into narrow-mindedness and selfishness. There is an entrepreneur in my hometown who spent his whole life to create a very large company.

The group was worth hundreds of millions, but later he got stomach cancer and died in his sixties.

During his lifetime, his sons fought fiercely for this property, which made him very sad.

So he handed over the business to a son who thought he could pass it on.

However, after his death, his son quickly sold the business and obtained a large fortune that allowed him to spend wildly.

My son Chen Yixin told me that if entrepreneurs knew that their sons were prodigal, they would definitely use the money to do a lot of public welfare and would never let them spend their huge wealth on food, drinking, prostitution and gambling.

But it was too late, he could no longer do what he was supposed to do.

In the bardo, he can see through his sons' true thoughts, so he will definitely feel extremely painful for their sons' evil intentions.

Because, he will find that his life's efforts have not produced any value. Not only can huge wealth not be able to influence people's life and death, but it has brought a kind of evil to the world.

Is there any possibility of relief for him who is in such pain and trouble?

Picture Jesus said: "It is as difficult for a rich man to go to heaven as for a camel to go through the eye of a needle." This sentence means that the concern for wealth prevents the rich from going to heaven.

It is indeed the case.

If a person does not have great intentions and has no ambition to benefit others, he will fall into a kind of narrow-mindedness and selfishness.

When you only care about personal gains and losses, the bardo phase will be extremely painful.

why?

Because you will find that you have lost everything you once owned. No matter how greedy you are, you can't take away what you want.

This kind of pain is normal, but it will eventually hinder your liberation and make you fall into the cycle of pain again.

For example, there was a gambling king in Hong Kong who left a very large inheritance after his death. However, this inheritance is likely to be used as a dowry for the wives to remarry, or as capital to support the pretty boys and let them eat, drink, whore and gamble.

.

This pretty boy might later cause a car accident or poison his son, and try his best to monopolize his property.

The bardo body has destiny knowledge, so after death, he must know what will happen in the future.

When he predicts that the money he has worked hard to earn in his life will not only cause great harm to his family, but also become a tool for others to satisfy their desires, he will definitely be very painful and angry, but what can he do?

He may feel that while he is alive, he should set up a foundation, like Bill Gates, to help more people and let more people gain happiness, happiness and health because of his existence.

It is far better to give up all your money to a villain.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

There are descriptions in Islam and Christianity such as "It is as difficult for a rich man to go to heaven as it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle." This is especially true in Buddhism.

Therefore, Buddhism advocates that when you can live your own life, seize the time to do everything you should do, and complete them one by one. It is best to do more things that benefit others, until one day you find that you have no regrets.

, worries and habits disappear, and you become pure.

At this time, even if you enter the bardo stage, you can leave this world without worries and calmly, and gain a kind of liberation.

I often say that others are not popular, and some people think that I am scolding them, but this is not the case.

What I mean by "little man" is a kind of "ego", a narrow mentality.

When habits are not eliminated and desires still dominate the mind, people will inevitably do things for the "ego".

When you open your mind and continue to do things that benefit others, you will gradually "forget yourself" and forget about the "small self" and move towards a state of "big self".

When you completely forget your own feelings, forget whether your efforts have been rewarded, forget whether your efforts have won the recognition of others, and only care about whether everything benefits the public and whether you have tried your best, your "I"

"Attachment" will gradually disappear, and finally you will achieve the liberation of an Arahant.

When you are not only satisfied with the dissolution of self-attachment, but also make others happy and achieve enlightenment, you will achieve the liberation of a Bodhisattva.
