Every Chinese New Year, the first thing we say is: "Wishing you prosperity". It can be seen that wealth is pursued by everyone. However, "a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way", how is the way to get money? There are four points of view:
The Chinese say that "ill-gotten wealth cannot be taken", and Buddhism also uses "poisonous snake" to describe the danger of undivided wealth. This admonishes people to abide by the principle of distribution and not to take possession of property that does not belong to them. Coveting undivided wealth will harm the interests of others, disrupt the social order, and ultimately damage one's own morality and reputation.
From the perspective of personal interests, although coveting undivided wealth may obtain some material benefits in the short term, in the long run, coveting undivided wealth often causes a person to lose his morality and conscience and undermines his own personal dignity. In relationships, greed can also lead to contradictions and conflicts with others, staying away from friendships and isolating oneself. Therefore, abiding by the principle of distribution and insisting on not coveting undivided wealth is an important embodiment of safeguarding individual dignity and self-worth.
The phrase "don't be greedy for what you don't have" not only reminds us to abide by ethical norms and not harm the interests of others, but also urges us to examine our own inner desires and not be blinded by greed. We must cherish our conscience and morality, adhere to integrity and fairness, and practice the principle of "not being greedy for wealth unless we share it" with practical actions.
The inheritance of the ancestors, the salary received, these are all part of the wealth. Every wealth is hard-won and should be used rationally to avoid regret and loss caused by waste.
The waste of wealth and resources can have a negative impact on one's own life. When people squander and waste their possessions, they often fail to measure their financial capacity and needs in a timely manner, resulting in overconsumption or blind investment, which may end up facing financial hardship or financial crisis. Therefore, cherishing and making reasonable use of the wealth you have is an important guarantee for maintaining personal economic independence and stability.
Overall, the adage "don't waste what you share" reminds us to be frugal and to cherish the wealth and resources we have. Only by maintaining a rational consumption concept and rational investment decisions can we ensure the effective use and extension of wealth. At the same time, saving resources and reducing waste are also important measures to maintain environmental and social stability.
Some people don't like to make money with labor, and feel embarrassed that the work of labor is menial and hard, and the income is meager. Although the hard-earned income is a small amount of money, it is above board, frank and unrestrained, and it is even more commendable and deserved, and there is no need to feel inferior for it.
Labor is the foundation and driving force of human life, whether it is physical labor or mental labor, it has irreplaceable value in society. Workers create wealth through their own labor, contribute to society, and support their families. Therefore, regardless of the profession or industry, workers should be confident and full of pride because their labor has brought progress and development to society.
The wealth of labor is not inferior, and it also means respecting all labor and all those who work it. Every position and every job has its importance and value, and no kind of labor is dispensable. Respect for labor means respecting every individual involved in social construction and promoting the harmonious development of the whole society. Whether it's a cleaner, a waiter, a farmer, a doctor, a teacher, or an engineer, everyone should be proud to take on their responsibilities and contribute to the prosperity and progress of society.
The phrase "the wealth of labor is not inferior" warns us to cherish our own labor, respect the labor of others, and make labor the pride and motivation of life. No matter what kind of position you are in or what kind of work you do, you should go all out, work diligently, and strive to achieve your ideals and goals. Only in the atmosphere of respecting and cherishing labor can we realize personal value and promote the steady development of society.
Some people use their wisdom, technology, and ability to gain wealth. This kind of wisdom wealth can be beneficial to oneself and others, but it must also be used in the right place. Wisdom and knowledge are a type of wealth, and only when they are used well can they generate great value and influence.
The accumulation of wisdom and knowledge is the cornerstone of personal growth and development. Having a wealth of knowledge and wisdom can help people better understand and solve problems, and improve their abilities and qualities. However, if we waste our knowledge, do not learn and think, we will not be able to realize the maximum potential of our individuals. Therefore, we should continue to learn and improve ourselves, develop our own wisdom and wealth, and lay a solid foundation for personal success and achievement.
Faith, diligence, precepts, hearing the Dharma, joyful giving, wisdom, and shame are the seven noble treasures that can nourish sentient beings and nourish wisdom and life, and they should be actively cultivated. The sharing of wisdom and knowledge can bring more value. By sharing and passing on what we have learned, we are not only able to influence others, but also receive more feedback and learning opportunities. The wealth of wisdom is not a fixed accumulation, and only by constantly communicating and sharing with others can we get a richer return on wisdom. Therefore, we should take the initiative to cooperate with others, cultivate the spirit of sharing and cooperation, and jointly open up a broader field of wisdom and wealth.
