It must be good. At least I'm calm and happy.
Since ancient times, there have been different opinions about whether people should accumulate virtue and do good deeds, such as "good people are rewarded", "good people are safe all their lives", "building bridges and roads without bones, killing people and stealing money". So can the accumulation of virtue and good deeds advocated at ordinary times really make us better and better? In the Buddhist holy land, I saw such a sentence: "If you don't do good and suffer many disasters, you will prosper;" Doing evil is more prosperous, and prosperity is destroyed. "
Su Shi, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, is a rare all-rounder in the history of China, and he is even more outstanding. He has done countless good deeds in his life and is very keen on public welfare undertakings.
During his tenure as the magistrate of Xuzhou, he led the army and civilians to fight for more than 70 days to repair the flood control levee and save the people of Xuzhou from floods.
When he was demoted to Huangzhou, he was forced to become a farmer. He has no power or influence, but he is in trouble. But he can't stand the local bad habit of infanticide and abandonment. He set up the Save the Children Association and took the initiative to take up the task of raising abandoned babies. Dongpo Tang Xue is the first folk orphanage in the world.
When he was a satrap in Hangzhou, he helped the whole city to realize the public health plan, including the clean water supply system and hospitals, dredging salt canals, building the West Lake, and stabilizing food prices, even at the expense of feuding with the court. Working alone to help the hungry. And wrote the famous sentence "Compared with West Lake, heavy makeup and light makeup are always appropriate", and made the best image advertisement for Hangzhou.
Exiled to Huizhou, Guangdong Province, outside Lingnan, although he had no right, he made full use of his influence on local officials and tried his best to benefit the local people. He assisted in disaster relief, built bridges, used bamboo in the mountains to bring spring water to the city for the people to drink, and let the people in Guangzhou drink clean tap water.
In his later years, he was exiled to Danzhou, Hainan, which was still a wilderness at that time. He never asks for leave. Like a seeder, he founded Dongpo School and yiguang, sowing the seeds of civilization, which enabled Hainanese to break the zero record of literati and scholars since the Northern Song Dynasty. Since then, talented people have come forth in large numbers.
……
These are all his great acts of kindness. No matter whether he has the right or not, no matter whether his situation is good or bad, he keeps a kind heart to the world and helps others anytime and anywhere.
In home life, Su Shi is also very helpful. He will store a lot of medicines at home, not to cure himself, but to help his friends in time when they are sick. He will also store a lot of wine at home. Su Shi's own alcohol consumption is very small, and he is probably drunk after one drink. However, he likes to let his friends drink happily at home.
This behavior of storing medicine and preparing wine also reflects his kindness. Speaking of it, his willingness to do good deeds should be deeply influenced by his grandfather from an early age.
Su Shi's grandfather, Su Xu, was tall and handsome when he was young, strong, heavy drinker and generous. At that time, Su Jia was a medium-sized landlord with vast fields in the countryside. In the biography of Su Dongpo, such a thing was recorded. One year, Su Xu did not store edible rice like other families, but exchanged rice for food, and saved as many as 30,000 to 40,000 stones in his barn. No one knows why he did it. Then there was a poor harvest in the famine year, and many people faced the crisis of starvation. Su Xu began to distribute food to help everyone. He still gave it to his closest relatives first, then to his wife's family, then to his tenant farmers, and finally to the poor in the same village.
Others know why he stored so much rice in the first place, because rice can be stored for several years, but it is not easy to store, and it is easy to get moldy when it meets the tide.
This shows that this is a kind and wise old man. Grandpa Su Shi lives a carefree life, often holding a pot of wine, sitting on the grass with relatives and friends, drinking and laughing, and living happily. When we get together, we will drink and sing loudly, and the style is bold and unrestrained, which surprised many people who followed the rules at that time.
To tell the truth, such days are really fascinating. There is no doubt that grandpa's kindness, wisdom and atmosphere have deeply influenced Su Shi. Let Su Shi keep a kind heart all his life.
As the saying goes, when Su Shi was deeply persecuted, down and out, and exiled to the wild, countless people extended a helping hand to him. In material life, provide rice, vegetables, medicines and other necessities; In the spiritual life, many people came to Su Shi all the way to accompany him and give him warmth. Let the great men of our generation, while suffering from political persecution, not be too depressed and not die in a foreign land.
Su Shi's "San Tang Huai Ming": "Faithfulness is long, and poetry is long." There is no doubt that doing good will increase the blessings. Cause and effect are intertwined, and good luck and bad luck are exchanged. Every good thing will be rewarded in a certain time, and every bad thing will be reflected in certain bad luck. There is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason. Good deeds from the heart will bring you good news! If there is no good luck in this life, it will also benefit future generations. If there is an afterlife, there will be great blessings! All laws are empty, and cause and effect are not empty.
Do people who accumulate virtue and do good live well? Having this question shows that I have doubts about it and have no deep understanding of the significance of accumulating virtue and doing good. You can't just look at appearance when you accumulate virtue and do good, and you can't just look at the present when you live well. The so-called doing good depends on whether you are sincere or not. If it's just to gain fame, or to cover up one's sins with good deeds, do good deeds to seek the protection of the gods or reduce the psychological pressure of crime, is that good? Is this merit? I can only alleviate my sins at most. Doing good deeds and accumulating virtues is scientifically analyzed, and it is clear at a glance whether it is done well or not. If we break the law or do something against nature, will we be afraid, hide and be condemned by our conscience? Is this a good life? If we really help others and do a good deed, whether or not we return it, will we be happier and more relaxed? What's wrong with living in such a happy atmosphere? Therefore, those who sincerely accumulate virtue and do good deeds will certainly have good results. As the ancients said, good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil. It's not that the time has not come.
Those who accumulate virtue and do good may not all live well.
People who are stupid, nice and dare not say "no" have a bad life;
A dissatisfied good man has a hard time;
Everyone's climate, place and people are different. No matter good or bad, they have had good days and bad days.
If you do good, there will be Qing Yu; if you do evil, there will be disaster. Good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil. No pains, no gains. If you suffer, you must be wild first, and if you do more injustice, you must be self-indulgent. These classic sayings say that people should do good deeds, but there is a famous saying that good intentions are not rewarded, so good people will be rewarded in the end and have a safe life. However, unscrupulous tactics will harm the interests of others, and sometimes villains will be arrogant. Therefore, things are not absolute, but kindness will always approach, and the villain will get what he deserves sooner or later. Heaven has eyes, good and evil are rewarded.
Doing good conforms to heaven, making the order of the universe run more smoothly, getting positive feedback naturally, continuing to do good, accumulating virtue and living better and better. On the contrary, doing good deeds violates heaven, and the more you do it, the easier it is to get bad consequences. Naturally, there is no merit, and you may be punished by God.
Good triumphs over evil, and do more good deeds to benefit Yin Fu's children and grandchildren. Doing good and accumulating virtue is not necessarily rich or expensive. It's really good to do good when others need it.
Kindness will really make your heart feel better.
Whether you live well or not is a matter of heart. If you feel satisfied, you will be comfortable and practical, and if you feel satisfied, you will be happy. People who accumulate virtue and do good deeds are realistic at heart, understand why they want to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and have the wisdom to see everything clearly. People who accumulate virtue and do good deeds certainly have a good life!
All laws are empty, and cause and effect are not empty.
I advise you to do good for the future of Mo Wen. God will not lose good people.
