Forgiveness

I once heard a Buddhist story about a monk in a temple who was cleaning one day when a beautiful young girl, carrying a child in swaddling clothes, shoved the child into the monk's arms in front of the monks and said, "This is your child. Said without looking back and fled away. The monk was dumbfounded with the child in his arms, and the other monks also looked at each other, and then whispered. The monk carried the child to the meditation room, boiling rice soup to feed the child. The child, under the monk's careful feeding, grew white and fat and very cute.

　　Suddenly one day, the girl who had left the child at the temple and a young man came to the temple with a pile of gifts and found the innocent monk, hoping to take the child back. Without saying a word, the monk handed the child to his mother. It turned out that the girl and the young man had a private life and conceived a child, and after the child was born, the girl did not want to give up the child's real father, only to throw the dish of dirty water on the innocent monk. A monk was puzzled: "When you first fed this child, why not give a defense of their innocence? The monk said, "What is there to it?" When the girl came to the temple to get the child back, several monks urged him to ask for a statement from the girl, not to cheapen her in this way, and the monk responded easily, "What's there?" .

　　In fact, in real life, how many people are as broad-minded and selfless as monks? I'm afraid it's not easy to find. I also heard a story about a rental house in Beijing where there are five "northern drifters" from all over the country, one of whom lives lazily and does not like to clean up. In fact, since we can live under one roof, in the life of a small conflict is not a big deal, to talk about it, it will be clouded. But they do not communicate, is secretly this strong, you say I live lazy, you can do what I? A king of the world is not afraid of the "attitude"; the one, then everywhere against him, as soon as the wind blowing, they will hear the wind and come up on the horizontal accusations. The end of the conflict escalated, and finally became the lazy person, after eating instant noodles, casually discarded the instant noodle box in the garbage basket outside, and the clean person came home, without saying anything to find the lazy person to the theory, first quarrel, and finally the clean person, from the kitchen out of the kitchen knife madly cut to each other, the lazy person fell in a pool of blood, never get up.

　　Hugo said, "The noblest revenge is forgiveness." I would like to say that Hugo had the heart of a Buddha and reached the highest realization of life. In real life, tolerance is a key, it can open the lock that separates each other for a long time, the door is open, sincerely invite each other to the heart as guests; tolerance is a kind of medicine that can cure the hatred of others, in your mind, there is no one who makes you itchy to hate; tolerance is a kind of forgetting, forget the past enmity, everyone and then we should cherish this rare fate, friendly together; since we can not continue to Get along, friendship repair is not fruitful, we forget each other in the jungle. Maybe we can't have that compassionate heart like Buddha, or like a folk saying "the belly of the prime minister can hold up the boat", we don't have the luxury of holding up the boat in our belly, even a little bit of tolerance for people.
