Day 182: 2021年人间佛教阅读研讨会 -- 成就的秘诀《金刚经》

Meaningful Sharing and Discussion of Diamond Sutra

《金刚经》的一句经文

有5个层面

妄想与理想
如果只是想没有实现。只是妄想
如果想了又去探索,学习,想办法实现,是理想

好笑的是:
为什么钱不可得? 🤣
钱没有赚到,不是你的
花了,也不是你的
放着不敢花,也不是你的
你死了,也不会是你的

为什么我要浪费时间担心钱?
因为是"不可得"所以我要好好善用钱.

钱是一种能源,用在对的地方,会帮到自己和别人.
享有而不是拥有. 星云大师曾经说钱用了,才是自己的.
以下是四种善用钱财的地方:
1) 日常生活的开销 Daily Expenses
2) 储蓄 Savings
3) 投资 Investments
4) 布施 Donations

我们的心是自由的
太在意,所以容易有烦恼
不要太在意, 就会自由自在

金刚经的精华: 不要升起烦恼
要努力,认真的态度面对.

Reflection: Today learning is very fruitful. Last time I have money issues but I think I am learning how to manage my money clearly. I feel a lot more confident and I don't have to worry about money. I have enough. It is really what shifu said use the money wisely and it will come back to you when you need it.

I remembered how I stole my mother's money to pay for a classmate who blackmailed me. The money $50 was meant for my bus fee. It was the first time I lied, because I was afraid of my classmate.

The truth can't hold anymore as the bus auntie told my mum that she didn't received the fee. When my mum asked me, I told her I lost the money. Another lie. My mum forgave me but I didn't forgive myself even though I wasn't truly my fault. I lied. I punish myself for not deserve to have money. I can't trust anyone. I can't trust myself. It was a painful experience.

Tonight dharma has kinda released the emotion about having constantly worry about money. I can receive the money that I want and use them wisely and I deserve to have money. I can see and speak the truth now. The truth sets me free. I can face myself now. Nothing is attained or can be grasped.
