Who knows the meaning of the first paragraph in the Book of Hundred Parables. There used to be elder

A long time ago, the son of an elderly man went to the sea to salvage agarwood. It took a year before a cart was salvaged and shipped home. He took agarwood to the market to sell, but because it was expensive, no one bought it.

After many days, he failed to sell, and felt very tired and distressed. When he saw that the charcoal sellers were selling the charcoal very quickly, he thought that it would be better to burn the agarwood into charcoal, so that it could be sold quickly, so he burned the agarwood into charcoal and transported it to the market to sell, only selling it for less than half a cart of charcoal.

The same is true of the fools in the world, who originally practiced diligently according to the various methods of practice in Buddhism, hoping to attain the attainment of Buddhahood, but because it was difficult to attain it, they lost bodhichitta and thought that it would be better to practice the shravaka multiplication and attain birth and death and attain the fruit of arhat (thus losing a great deal of merit and benefit, and even carrying a great mistake).

Once upon a time, the son of an old and prestigious man went to the sea to salvage agarwood. It took a year to get a truckload of agarwood and transport it home. He went to the market to sell agarwood, and because agarwood was expensive, there was no one to buy it in the end.

It's been many days, and he can't sell it yet. He felt tired and bored in his heart, and he saw it as a kind of distress. He saw that others were selling charcoal, and they could often sell it quickly, so he had this idea:

It is better to burn agarwood to make charcoal, so that it can be sold quickly. He burned agarwood into charcoal, and then went to the market to sell charcoal, but he could not sell it for half a cart of charcoal. And so it is with the fools of the world.

In the past, there was a son of a rich man (or a Dawang family, a famous family, etc.) ,..All the merchants on the ship drowned.

As a result, he was the only one who survived, and there was a turtle, and the turtle carried him to an island, and he had nothing to eat, so he slaughtered the turtle and ate it. Finally, a herd of wild elephants came, and he ran to the edge of the cliff, fell into the sea, and drowned.

This is the story of ingratitude.

Once upon a time there was a rich man's son who went out into the sea with some merchants to pick treasures. The son of the rich man would recite how to sail the boat into the sea, how to drive and dock if the boat was in the middle of the sea to a place with whirlpools, backflows, and reefs. And he told them all:

I know all the ways to sail a boat into the sea. Everyone believed him.

Not long after the ship reached the sea, the master of the boat fell ill and suddenly died, and the son of the rich man took the place of the dead master of the boat. When the boat reached the whirlpool rapids, he recited aloud how to steer the ship, but the boat was swirling in the whirlpool and could not continue to reach the place where the treasure was collected. The boatload eventually fell overboard and died.

We can't be in a hurry to do things, we can't see different ideas, we must have perseverance and patience, and we must take one step at a time to succeed. (I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry).

Original text and notes:

In the past, there were great elders and sons, and all the merchants went into the sea to collect treasures.

This elder is good at reciting the method of going into the sea to catch a boat (catching a boat: steering, driving a boat), and if you enter the sea water to whirlpool and flow rocks (rocks: rocks or rocky beaches in the water), you should be like this (if it is

So, so) catch, if it is right, if it is lived. The people said: "The method of entering the sea, I know (Xi:

All) knows. ”

The people have heard it and are convinced.

After a short time of being in the middle of the sea, the sailor fell ill and died suddenly. The elder is even on his behalf.

In the middle of the migratory stream (current: rapids, turbulent current), singing (singing: aloud, reciting aloud) should be caught, such is right. The wheel of the ship rotates back and forth, and it cannot move forward, as far as the treasure is reached. The ship-merchant died without drowning.

reciting the method of taking a boat without understanding the use of metaphors" is the Indian version of "talking on paper"; The translation is as follows:

Once upon a time, there was the son of a wealthy old man who went to sea with many merchants to mine treasure.

The old man's son was good at reciting the methods of sailing on the sea, such as entering a place where there are whirlpools in the sea or rocky rapids, and one should steer the ship in this way, straighten the hull in this way, or stop the boat in this way (these methods are described in the book).And he said unto the multitude:"I know all the ways to sail on the sea.

And when they heard it, they believed what he said.

He had already entered the sea, and after not long traveling, the captain (the master of the boat) fell ill and died suddenly. The old man's son immediately took his place.

When the boat came to the place where there was a whirlpool, he recited aloud that he should steer the boat in this way, and that he should straighten the hull in this way, but the boat went back and forth with the whirlpool, and could not go forward to reach the place where there was a treasure. The whole ship's merchants sank into the sea and drowned.

Fang: Just. Yi: Shipping.

Therefore: the reason. Yes: That's right.

Pawn: Results. He immediately burned all the agarwood into charcoal and transported it to the market to sell, but he could not sell it for half a cart of charcoal.

We can't be in a hurry to do things, we can't see different ideas, we must have perseverance and patience.

Once upon a time, there was a son of a large family who went to sea to collect agarwood. It only fills the volume of one car a year, and it is sold on the market, but because the price is too high, no one comes to buy it. After many days like this, no one wants it, and it is inevitable that I will be upset and irritable, physically and mentally exhausted.

When I saw others selling charcoal, I quickly sold it, and I thought, "It's better to burn these agarwoods into charcoal, so that they will be sold quickly." So, he burned all the agarwood into charcoal and sold it on the market, but he quickly sold it, but he didn't buy half a carload of charcoal.

It's the same with stupid guys in the world.
