The philosophical story of Keeping Your Mouth Shut is an Ability .

There was a homeless man who walked into the temple and saw the Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus platform and everyone worshipped, and he was very envious.

Tramp: Can I swap with you?

Bodhisattva: As long as you don't open your mouth.

The homeless man sat on the lotus platform. His eyes were noisy and chaotic all day long, and there were many demanders. He didn't say anything.

After the rich man left, a poor man came. Poor: Ask the Bodhisattva to give me money.

My family is seriously ill and needs money urgently. Kowtowing, getting up, he saw a wallet fall to the ground. Poor:

The Bodhisattva has truly manifested his spirit. He grabbed his wallet and left. The homeless man wanted to speak.

It's not a manifestation, it's something that people have lost; But he remembered the words of the Bodhisattva.

At this time, a fisherman came in. Fisherman: Ask the Bodhisattva to give me safety, and there will be no wind and waves when I go out to sea.

Kowtowed, got up, he was just about to leave, but was grabbed by the rich man who came in again. For the sake of the wallet, the two scuffled. The rich man believes that the fisherman has taken the wallet, and the fisherman feels that he has been wronged and cannot tolerate it.

The homeless man couldn't stand it anymore, and he shouted, "Stop! "I told them all the truth.

A dispute subsided.

Do you think that's right?

Bodhisattva: You'd better be a vagabond. You think you are fair, but the poor don't get the money. The rich have not cultivated good virtues.

The fisherman went out to sea to catch the wind and waves and died at the bottom of the sea. If you don't speak, the poor family's life will be saved; The rich lost a little money, but helped others accumulate virtue; And the fisherman was unable to get on the boat because of entanglement, and escaped the wind and rain, and is still alive.

The homeless man silently left the temple ......

Many things, as they should be, are as they should be. Wait for it to happen naturally, and the results will be better.

But when faced with reality, who knows what the outcome of things should look like?

He never bothered to deal with those people, so that others could see that they were simply empty-eyed.

It's too uncomfortable to say that I can't say it.

The writer Ernest Hemingway once said, "It took us two years to learn to speak, but it took us sixty years to learn to shut up." "Learn to speak in two years, and learn to shut up in a lifetime. Understand or not, don't say much. If you really don't have to say anything, it's like staring at it.

It's really hard for me to shut up, the child doesn't eat well, I want to say, the performance is not good, I want to say, the grades drop, I want to say, I get up late, I want to say, I don't study well, I want to say, I am in a bad mood, I want to say, I am not doing what I want, I want to say, my husband is not as good as I want, I want to say, my family is not as good as I want to say....

There's nothing I can't say, it's been a long time, and it seems too difficult not to say it, and I have a feeling that I can't control it. Another terrible feeling is annoying yourself and feeling tired! Because no one listens to me! It's not pleasing to be tired to death! It's not a human feeling inside and out!

Recently, there is a very wonderful phenomenon at home, dinner together on the weekend, and someone washes the dishes (children brush) after eating. After the clothes were washed, someone washed and dried them (made by the child), and I accidentally said that my feet hurt so much when they were worn by shoes, and someone helped me fetch water for a pedicure (made by my husband)....

Shut up, it turns out that there is such a big gain! I thought that the world would not work without me, and that I would not be able to live well without my family, but it turned out that I took myself too seriously, but in fact I was not that important.

Be yourself and keep your mouth shut. It reminds me of an old story: a homeless man went to Jesus and said: Lord! How can I be like this?

Jesus: All you have to do is shut up!

Tramp: It's not easy? I can do it!

Jesus gave up his place to the homeless man, and then a rich man came to pray for merit, and after praying, he got up and fell to the ground, and the homeless man was just about to speak, and remembered the words of the Lord Jesus, and shut up.

Then a poor man came and prayed for money and healing for his mother. After praying, a money bag appeared in front of him, and the poor man thanked the Lord for answering his request and took the money bag.

Then a boatman came praying for safety, and when he had finished praying, he turned back to meet the rich man who came back to look for the money bag, and grabbed the boatman and did not let go, and the dispute could not be stopped, and he wanted to take him to the official.

The homeless man couldn't hold back when he saw all this, and opened his mouth to tell what had happened, and calmed down the quarrel....

The homeless man thinks he has done a good job and goes to the Lord Jesus. Jesus said: The rich man wants to accumulate merit and lose his money bag It is not a big loss for him, he can accumulate merit, and the poor can have money to ** mother, and he can save his life.

If the boatman is imprisoned, he can avoid a storm and save many lives...

The homeless man listened to the ins and outs of the matter and quietly left....

Learning to shut up is an ability!
