【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- The same act to give to the beggar can have a different effect

Normally, your supple attitude will be, ah, here he comes! When you see a beggar, you give him NT$300 this is one attitude. The $300 is a fixed number, and then this beggar is also a fixed object. The third one is your mental attitude. It could be that you saw the beggar, “Alas, this person is so pitiful, how pathetic! I want to help him.” Based on such attitude in planting the cause, the effect will be much greater. If you have the aspiration for the supreme spirit of enlightenment, due to this attitude corresponds to the Dharma realm, regardless of what you do, the effect is immeasurable, just like that! Take our present situation for instance; say we are doing small business. By the same token, I have a small business and after developing one product for a while and then put it out for sale here. If my shop markets it to sell internationally, any small item that you are marketing would be sold around the world. The benefit applies to the entire world; the income you profited is also from around the world, just like that.

道次引导 : 同样布施乞丐，果报不一样

平常你一种软心，啊，他来了！看见一个乞丐，那送他三百块钱，这是一种；这个三百块钱是一个固定的数字，然后呢，这个乞丐是个固定的，你这种心起。或者你看见那个乞丐：“哎呀，这个人好可怜，怎么这样可怜哪！我要去帮忙他。”那个果报，那个种的因，就增大了很多。假定你发了大菩提心的话，因为那个心本身跟法界，缘法界相应的，任何做一点事情，就产生无尽的功效，这样！就是拿我们现在来说也是这样，譬如说我们现在做生意。同样地，我在那个做生意，做一个小生意，造了个半天，制造一个东西以后，那么就在这里的话，好，卖出去，就卖在这里。假定说我现在那个商店，这个推销全世界的话，你任意做一个小东西，那个东西就会推销到全世界。得益的人是全世界，你赚的钱，也是全世界，就是这样。
