【The Six Types OF Suffering】- ten thousand year plan

Therefore, I read up about one ancient master, after he finished eating for the day, he would give the rest away. Why? "I don't even know if I have another tomorrow. If you keep the food which were donated by the kind benefactors, what are you keeping them for!" So as a result, he gave away the food every day, gave away the food every day. His student was miserable over this. Now, even if the student was feeling miserable, he also had his attainments finally. This is how the ancient people really practice. Ah! We have accumulated enough for a month and still want to accumulate for a year. After we accumulated enough for a year, we still go on to accumulate enough for a hundred years. After we accumulated enough for a hundred years, we still want to accumulate enough for a thousand years. How much can we actually eat? No one can live to a hundred years old. But we are planning as if we have 10,000 years. We don't know what we are busy with! After we busy for so long, we just end up becoming a pile of ashes. And we go to the hell to suffer. This is really not worthwhile!

希求解脱 : 万年计

所以我看见一个祖师，他今天吃完了，把那些东西送给别人，为什么？“我明天有没有都不知道，你留在那个地方，人家施主一番好心，你留在那里干什么！”结果他天天人家送，天天送，那个徒弟苦不堪言。欸，结果你不要看徒弟苦不堪言，那个徒弟也后来也成就了，那真正古来人的修行是这个样。唉呀！现在我们积了一个月还要一年，积了一年还要积一百年，积了一百年还要积一千年。实在我们能吃多少啊？那人没有一个人能活到一百年，可是我们都是为万年计，不晓得忙些什么！结果忙了半天一堆灰，然后到地狱里受苦，真划不来！
