Once upon a time, there was a family of mothers and sons who lived together. The son plays money outside all day long, and the family is very poor. The son plays money, if he wins, he drinks and buys meat, eats and drinks, and if he loses, he comes home, and he will take the old lady out of anger, and he will be scolded if he is beaten. Usually, when my mother hears her son's voice, she trembles with fright!
On April 18 of this year, men, women and children in the village all went up the mountain to catch the temple fair. Halfway up the mountain, he met an old man with a white beard and asked him, "Young man, why are you going?" ”
The boy who played with money said: "Burn incense for the Buddha!" The old man asked, "What do you want to burn incense for the Buddha?" The money boy said: "Ask the Buddha to bring blessings and wealth." The old man laughed and said, "Young man, why do you go up to the mountains to burn incense?" There is a living Buddha in front of you! ”
When the money boy heard this, he felt strange, and hurriedly asked, "Is there a living Buddha in front of me?" ”
The old man smiled and told him: "When you go home and see a person wearing a cotton jacket and pulling shoes upside down, that is the living Buddha of your family!" If you bow to her every day, you will be blessed and rich! ”
As soon as the money boy heard the fun, he turned around and ran back. ran to the door of the house in one breath and knocked on the door with a bang. His mother was sitting on the kang, waiting for her son to come back, so that she could open the door quickly, when she heard the knock on the door, she hurriedly got off the kang, and the padded jacket was not taken care of, and she put it on her body; I didn't have time to put on my shoes, so I ran to open the door.
The door opened, and when the son saw that the person wearing a padded jacket and pulling shoes upside down was his mother, he knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "Mom, live puppet!" I'll never beat you or scold you again! Kowtow to you every day, and I'll ...... whatever you call me”
This is in response to the old saying: "Respect your parents at home, why burn incense far away!" ”
