Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Education for Living
生活教育
Recently, I read a short teaching by Master Hsinyun in a magazine. It said, “Morality is a priceless treasure in the human world. It is higher than the hills and mountains by ten thousand times”. We should leave such virtue to the next generation, rather than money. It is most foolish to leave money to them. Leaving virtues to them is the wisest.
It is fine to leave just enough money to our children for them to form their family and develop their careers. Kids and grandkids have their own blessings; so, do not slave like a donkey or a cow for them. Other money should be donated to worthy causes. This will accumulate merit and virtues for yourself and your children.
最近在《人間福報》看到星雲大師引用的一句話:「人間道德無價寶,比山比嶽萬倍高」,所以,我們留給子孫一定要留德,不要留金錢,留金錢是最愚癡的,留德才是有智慧的。
金錢,只要留一些讓兒女夠成家立業就好,兒孫自有兒孫福,莫為兒孫作馬牛,其他的金錢,就用來做功德,這樣你好他也好,子子孫孫都好。
Namo Amituofo!
