Are you in control of the money? Or does money control you? | Sloth hell

laziness, laziness, laziness

Laziness and laziness, the explanation given in the movie is "wasting life", in fact, a more precise explanation should be "cultivating good and breaking evil, transfection into purity, and then diligent. Under the impetus of greed, anger and delusion, it is impossible to get rid of the mundane. It should be considered slack if you walk out of it.” Therefore, at the beginning of the trial, the messenger of hell Li Dechun saw that he had worked very hard in his life and never stopped. This level is definitely no problem.

However, Jiang Lin, the experienced messenger of hell, told everyone to be careful, and also told Jin Zihong to "never answer the question of King Chu Jiang"

Why? If you only work hard for personal greed, even if you never stop, it is actually slack.

Jiang Lin urged thousands of times

This level is actually more like a person who is not satisfied with the status quo of his life, but at the same time he does not know where to go. When he really gives up his life, he will panic, be anxious, and be unwilling! Then see clearly the consequences of continuing to let loose, and then the process of loosening up your heart.

At the beginning, when he was in Sanminghe, he said, "I don't want to be reincarnated." He had no hope for the future, and his hasty and unprepared death also left him with a lot of regrets. I have worked hard in my last life, but I am still scarred, and I have not fulfilled my filial piety. If hell is what it feels like now, it might as well be like this. "Reincarnation" is just starting a new cycle of suffering.

He felt suffering, but he couldn't explain it clearly. He didn't know the state of life in hell. He thought it was just like these three messengers. but it is not the truth.

no expectation of reincarnation

His ignorance is not only reflected in his ignorance of his own situation, but also in his ignorance of himself.

His perception of himself is unreliable. He asked, "What's in it for you? Why do you help someone like me?", and he thought "I wouldn't be a noble person - what if I wasn't a noble person? What if I wasn't?", even though he had already experienced The word "righteousness" in the checkpoint, even though the praise of the first checkpoint, even though the three messengers around him emphasized his identity over and over again - but the meaning of the word "noble person" never entered his cognition, because the The noble person is the noble and the noble, not the noble quality, nor the sympathetic, loving and helpful life quality.

Everyone says they are noble, but they don't believe it

Jiang Lin replied to him, "I repeat, that is also judged by the underworld", and the basis of judgment is what a person has done in his life. It reminds me of the saying, "The world doesn't believe that there is cause and effect. How has the cause and effect ever spared anyone?"

And what the three messengers can see is the external behavior. It is only through dialogue that the inner thoughts can be understood.

Perhaps this is why he repeatedly told him, "Never answer the words of King Chu Jiang, don't answer!", and even had physical contact with him for the first time, put his hand on his hand, and hoped that he could listen to this sentence. Words, pay attention to this sentence, remember the reason for this sentence.

The only time Jiang Lin spoke softly

"Hell of sloth" is defined as "wasting the life given to you, wasting your precious life",

At the beginning of the trial, the trial went very smoothly. Li Dechun even assured that "Jin Zihong, the just deceased, has never wasted his precious life." In the mirror of industry, the sacrifices of his life are constantly being played out - the lives saved are not limited to humans, but also animals. The concluding remark of Li Dechun, the messenger of hell, was, "Where his hands touched, the light of sacrifice and redemption bloomed... Jin Zihong is not wrong, how can anyone accuse the righteous Jin Zihong of being wrong?"

She stood up emotionally and couldn't help applauding. She also wanted to erect a "big bronze statue of Jin Zihong" here. She couldn't help but ask Jin Zihong, "What drives you to help others recklessly? To help things in trouble? Or do you want to live every day? Enriched?"

The old lady is super impressed

He replied "I'm just for the money"

King Chu Jiang confirmed again? "money?"

He replies "yes, I'm saving money"

The protagonist answers truthfully (zuo si)

King Chu Jiang said, "You believe in false gods, I will take you to meet the real gods."

The bamboo raft drifted down, he never thought about the consequences of this sentence, and he had no idea what was waiting for him behind. When you see the real scene under the waterfall: a huge wheel keeps spinning, crushing people who are running too slowly; fish that eat people in the water keep chasing and biting, swimming too slow and unable to escape people……

The bottom is densely packed with people

It turns out that this is the endless punishment for those who "slack life"!

At this moment, after entering hell, Jin Zihong showed his emotions for the first time: fear, fear!

What to do?

It feels like we live day after day, never realizing that we are on the edge of a cliff, that our lives may end at any time, and that one day we will walk into and fall off the cliff...

It seems bland above, but below is the abyss

It seems right to work hard for "money", but there seems to be a problem. What is the crux of everything?

The reason for the problem is that Jin Zihong's answer "I'm just for money, to save money", but why "save money", he did not say...

He has a sick mother and a younger brother who dreams of becoming a judge. For them, he worked hard to earn money, never resting in his life, until the day after his death...

I'm dead, I really rest

This effort of his is a reflection of his sense of responsibility, and he wants to give support and love to his family in this way. But is love really expressed through money?

No, the younger brother still resents him. For 15 years, he just sent money home, but he never went home to get along with his family.

Money is everything to him, and the underlying expression behind it should be "Mother and brother are everything to him", but he didn't understand the relationship clearly, so he always worked hard on "money", and didn't have time to apologize, thank, and say to his mother. Love, and even say goodbye!

Does this scene resemble our daily life? Work hard to earn money, keep busy, have no time to spend with your family, no time to apologize, thank you, say love, and finally no time to say goodbye!

Just like the "mom" that Jin Zihong called out when he finally left!

There is nothing wrong with "money". It is originally neutral, but because of our wrong concept, it has become the only thing in life. In the end, we earn money to save money, and become the slave of money. We are controlled by it and cannot control it!

When there is a lot of money, we are afraid of losing it; when there is little money, we are anxious - if we have attachments in life, we will be hurt!

Happiness depends not only on material things, but also on mentality. Only by gaining wisdom and correcting wrong ideas can you gain a good attitude and have a life you can control!

Jin Zihong didn't get rid of the control of money until his death, which is exactly the suffering of life. When he looked at himself in the karma mirror who was constantly working hard to earn money, his expression was blank. This kind of life really ended like this.

Just like the final concluding remarks of King Chu Jiang: The reason for the defendant's slack in life is not because of money and material, and his motive is not for personal interests, but for taking care of his mother and raising his younger brother, and acquitted.

Today's comparison thinking:

1. Is your understanding of yourself accurate at this moment? In life, maybe you sometimes feel that you are very powerful and omnipotent, and sometimes you feel that you are poor and worthless. Do you know yourself accurately? Just like Jin Zihong thinks he is not a noble person and thinks why you should help people like me, in the face of encouragement and praise from others, do you believe what they say? Do you believe that you already possess the Buddha-nature? That inner compassion and wisdom, that inner treasure, do you believe in your inner strength? Are you looking inward? Or looking outside? 2. Are you slack in life? Are you following your habit and keep moving forward? Or do you clearly know that you are on the road of breaking evil and cultivating goodness and turning it into pure? Is it developing the power of good, cultivating compassion? Or follow greed, hatred, and delusion? Is money taking control of you? Or are you in control of your money? are you eating? Or is the meal eating you? If you live with awareness, you will feel happiness more easily It is more immediate than the monetary effect. Express your love with your heart, don't hide it in your heart. If you have a knot in your heart and want to express your apology, please speak out bravely. When you really say it, everything will be relieved.
