May I ask what is the real explanation of dementia, greed and anger in Buddhism? What do they represent and are they related to the troubles faced in life? Thanks!

Greed, anger, dementia, envy, slowness, doubt

Buddhists often talk about cultivation, cultivation of the dharma, there are many, but there are a few points related to the modern mentality as well as the concept of psychology, and now to share with you, the cultivation of the Buddhist nature of the talk of tolerance, there is the effect of self-degradation and the cultivation of both blessings and wisdom, so if you take the perspective of physiognomy to simply say, in life if you see a monk is kind, proving that he has cultivated to a certain level, he will be able to see you. If you see a monk with kind eyes, it proves that he has already practiced to a certain level, because "appearance is born from the heart", and the important spirit of the Mahayana Bodhisattva's precepts is to help oneself and others, and only after passing through this hurdle of oneself can one experience the suffering of all beings and be compassionate to them. Therefore, the purpose of "all evils, all good deeds, self-purification, is all Buddhism" is to advise us to strictly abide by the precepts.

But people are emotional animals, there will be worries and emotions, like modern people have depression and seek help from psychiatrists, this is the external help and psychological adjustment method, but in the process of social problems and other dangers, family disharmony is also common, the life of a predicament will arise, which is the opposite of the Buddhist advocate of the internal search for peace. All of the "mind like a mirror" is to enable us to see the self clearly, to recognize the problem, to understand where our emotions come from and how to get rid of them....

So it is important to understand that the six problems are those that must be recognized and worked on: greed, anger, dementia, jealousy, slowness, and doubt.

One is greed, and "greed" is often associated with wealth and profit. "A gentleman loves wealth, and there is a way to take it." Buddha also told all beings, not to be greedy, the so-called "a thought of trouble, a million barriers to open the door", in order to achieve a variety of greedy desire, is bound to think, give birth to all sorts of mischief, and at the same time for the sake of wealth, profit and unscrupulous, with crooked ways to fight for, of course, I think that the modern society to fight for personal wealth and entrepreneurship is worth advocating, but how to abide by the way of business, and how to use the business, and how to get the money, and how to get the money, and the business, and how to get the money. But how to comply with business, practicing honesty, put an end to greed is an important issue that most businessmen should consider, because not when the wealth gained as "the honey of the blade, such as licking, have to cut the tongue of the problem".

Two for the anger, it is a nameless fire, once angry, people are most likely to be hot-headed, there is a famous saying in modern management, I think and the family, husband and wife have to learn from the sentence: when you are angry, do not make any decisions. In ordinary life, anger constitutes a lot of dangers arising from the hidden danger, the Buddha said: anger is the fire in the heart, can burn the forest of merit. Indeed, in life because of "anger" and cause criminal behavior examples are endless; according to the Guangzhou TV station reported, not long ago a truck driver to the patron to collect the money owed, had a verbal dispute, and did not receive the payment, angry, after leaving the stalls, to see the owner of the son of the roadside to play, it will be directly crashed his car, resulting in serious injuries, and sent to the hospital, and the car was sent to the hospital. Resulting in serious injuries, hospitalized and died, so you can see that "anger" really has an uncontrollable momentum! Advise your friends to quit anger and quitting anger ......

Three for the demented, "demented" originally used here means "obsessed and intoxicated", analyze should be viewed objectively literati The "obsession" of the literati and the "intoxication" of the modern people should be analyzed and viewed objectively. The "obsession" of the literati is manifested in the Dream of the Red Chamber as the extravagance of the poetry and songs of the Twelve Haircuts of the Golden Houses, Daiyu and other talented women and the swinging of the boat and the chanting of the lotus. Peony Pavilion" is a kind of world-shaking, ghosts and gods of the steadfastness and persistence, in the "Smiling proudly in the Wanderer" is "up to the sky a smile tear light cold" "stupid smile smile", this natural emotion is often praised and extolled, but in the mass of people there are still muddle-headed people! Life in one life, do not know what to do also do not know the whereabouts of the heart, in the world of wasted life, grass and trees in the autumn, forgetting their own value and can bring to society's contribution to the young students in a few decades ago, there is still for the "Rise of China and study" of the ambition of today's young people, especially many college students, "addicted" to the "obsessive", the natural feelings are often praised and celebrated. "Addicted" to online games, love, boring comics, novels, male and female dormitories, the boys' computer is the network game machine, the girl's computer is a VCD player, on the eve of graduation, many college students can not even a decent PPT can not be completed, open their mouths can not speak fluent English, once in the Division of the Chinese teacher's friend asked me to the division of younger brothers and sisters, what advice I think, I think, "the youngest students in China are still a few decades ago for the "Rise of China" and "study", especially many college students. Once a friend in Huashi asked me what advice I would give to my siblings. I think that if we can integrate the spirit of "obsession" into the study of two major tools, "English" and "computer", we will benefit a lot in the society. We will surely benefit a lot in the society! Now I think that the ancient saying "the work is more than hard work, the waste is more than play" is really very reasonable ......

The fourth is jealousy, "jealousy" will make people messy, the original sisters can become The old death of the enemy, jealousy in this world has produced countless villains and breed boundless evil, because her harm is so obvious, do not need to spend too much ink, you can understand why you have to cultivate your body and mind to the feelings of brothers and sisters to face other people to "not to the things, not to their own sadness," the openness of life! The first is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what is going on in your life.

Five for the slow, "slow" in this I understand "arrogance", but also for people in the world's attitude of humility, the Buddhist teachings of compassion, the "Guanmu Shou Sutra" in the "is the heart for the Buddha, is the heart is Buddha! ", can be understood as the state of mind as one, if we hope that the people around us can smile at us, we must first learn to smile at others, impetuous young people tend to think that they are the world's first class talent, scoffing at the so-called experience of others, this kind of disrespectful behavior is often self-defeating!

Because you have the arrogance of heart, invisible to others to bring resistance and resentment of heart, you can not understand to the idea of others, because others are not willing to help you. So the higher up you are, the less chance you tend to get to hear others give you advice. This is a quote that I think can be held up as a classic in any industry. The arrogance of the heart can not have, when we have this idea as the water surface ripples, in fact, the heart is very clear, the test is in the most subconscious psychological behavior can restrain the idea of this arrogance.

Six for doubt, "doubt" in the six annoyances ranked in the "slow" after a very good reason, because of arrogance we can not "from the good to accept the elegant speech", because of arrogance we Because of arrogance, we are unable to appreciate and receive the help of others, because even if they extend a helping hand to us, it may be rejected by us. In the understanding here, many people are full of doubts about the enthusiasm of others, while clinging to their own mode of thinking and behavioral habits, unwilling to accept new ideas, in the marketing industry in which I am engaged, there are often such phenomena, for example, a lot of traditional methods are in fact not unoriginal, and also very reasonable and market, why many students after listening to other people's successful methods always skeptical attitude. "Is this really the way to succeed?" , "There must be another way." More students are willing to go in the marketing industry to rack their brains to invent new methods, will be given by the mentor has been molded model cast aside, a pity, because he discarded that set is many people keep repeating and adhere to the results of the method. McDonald's method of success is very simple, is to follow his system to do, "right hand pouring salt, 45-degree angle, shake three times, the oil temperature 170-180 ℃, keep 17-20 seconds, golden," in fact, there is no need for us to doubt that other people's methods can be? Because we have not tried, please go "try"!
