73B 08’46” Vol 10 of Lamrim Commentary P26 L9 Master Jih-Chang’s Discourse

Because of this, "In society you feel apprehensive, joyless, and devoid of confidence." That's the way it is.  Ah!  There are all kinds of faults with this thing.  Don't think that only ordinary people feel apprehensive and joyless.  Even for the president, or a wealthyperson, how could he not have the feeling of apprehension!  It is actually the poor who do not feel apprehensive. The wealthy people will feel even more apprehensive.  Oh, someone could be incredibly rich, very rich!  So why did he say that this person couldn’t sleep all day long?  It's because he thinks of his money.  "Ah, I hope I won't lose my capital [in the investment]!" If he buys stocks, he will worry that the stock prices will drop.  If he is doing business, he will be afraid that the market is not very good.  Just like that.  When he becomes the president, he has to keep an eye all day long, oh, what if things don't go well and he can't be elected for the next term, or something else.  This is it.  As a matter of fact, whether you are a pauper or a rich man, whether you have low or high social status, no one is an exception to this.  "While your notoriety spreads in all directions," ah!  That's how it is with everyone.  On the surface, people will praise how great you are and how great am I.  Behind your back, they will say, "This fellow!"  This is the idea.

希求解脱 : 烦恼过患 3

赴大众中,怯惧无乐及无无畏”,就是这样。啊!这个东西真正有种种的缺点,你不要说我们平常一般人说忧惧无乐,就是一个总统、一个有钱的人,其实他何尝没有这个忧惧啊!反而倒是穷人倒没有这个忧惧,有钱人忧惧更多。喔唷,他有钱得不得了啊,非常有钱哪!他为什么刚才说这个人一天到晚睡不着?就想这个钱:哎呀,不要万一亏了本喔!如果买了股票,他就担心那个股票跌价;如果他做了生意呀,就怕那个市场不理想,就这个样。做了个总统,他一天到晚要注意,喔唷,万一到那个时候不行了,下一次弄不上了,或者怎么办了,就这个。实际上,不管是穷人、富人,不管是贫穷下 贱、地位高,没有一个例外的。“一切方所恶名流布”啊!我们人人都是这样,表面上面称赞你好、我好,背后的话,大家是—这一个家伙!就是这种味道。
