Buddhist point of view

　     What is "superiority"? Where does it happen? Superiority is the idea of ​​"comparing oneself with others and thinking that one is higher than others". Similar concepts are: pride, arrogance, conceit, etc. Some people think that they are more capable and smarter than others, so they have a sense of superiority and look down on ordinary people; some people look down on poor people because they are rich; when it happens between races, some people think that their own races are more civilized, so they discriminate against people of other races; some practitioners think that their spiritual state is high, so they look down on other practitioners. These are the senses of superiority, which are called "arrogance" and "self-conceit" in Buddhism. Why is there a sense of superiority? The reason for this is the excessive cherishing of the self, hoping to be superior to others; like greed, hatred, and delusion, it all stems from the attachment of the s

　     As a part of all living beings, we will have annoyances more or less. In addition to the big and small annoyances in life, we also have to experience unavoidable annoyances such as "birth, old age, sickness and death"; because they will trouble us, affect our lives, bring pain and often haunts us, and they cannot be eliminated immediately, so it is called "annoyances". Buddhism believes that if we can be freed from "all" annoyances, we can be called saints; maybe we can not solve problems such as "birth, old age, sickness and death" in a short period of time, but if we can start to solve the annoyances in daily life one by one, then it can be regarded as a kind of practice! 　     Modern life is busy and stressful. It is inevitable that there will be conflicts between people. So, we become impatient and anxious and often lose our temper and when the situation does not allow us to be angry we become annoyed privately. No one likes to get angr

　     As a human being lived in the world, we are more or less attached to something; during school, some people are very clinging to their academic performance, and they often argue for higher exam scores from the grading teacher; when we are young, some people are very attached to love, or when some people choose their spouse, they are clinging to that the spouse must match some certain conditions and then they are willing to get married; after finding job, they become attach to things such as salary, social status, house, car, etc. In order to meet their own standards, they work hard for making money, even if they are very tired or exhausted, for the sake of what they are attached to, they have to endure it; some other people cling to their own reputation, even if they need to live with a mask, they still have to shape their external image. 　     The matter of "attachment" has so many aspects, which are cunningly hidden in everyone's daily life. We may even mistake cer

　　     Although it is said that Buddhist Dharma can help people be away from suffering and attain happiness, but, for those who are less exposed to Dharma, practicing Dharma can sometimes be too esoteric and over their ability. However, there are still some methods that can help Buddhist beginners to temporarily get rid of suffering and attain happiness. As long as they lay a solid foundation, it will be much easier when they want to go deeper into Buddhist Dharma in the future. 　　 1. Make money the right way 　　    In modern society, people advocate material things, and people's values ​​are seriously distorted; they think that as long as you have money, you will be happy. Some people always feel envious when they see rich people showing off their wealth, and hope that they can be like them. So the social atmosphere gradually tends to worship money; if there is a chance to make money, they will do anything for that and it doesn't matter whether or not they violate morals and th

　　     Life is only a few short decades; what kind of life is it that we can say we did not come to this world in vain? This is an issue we should take seriously. Maybe we won't have any great achievements in this life, but we should still discuss how to improve the quality of our life. 　　     As human beings, the first thing we have to do is to "fill our stomachs". This is a very realistic issue. If we can't achieve basic survival, then other things will be meaningless. The way of modern people's survival is to "make money", and then use the money to buy the necessities of life, and then they can survive. However, when we are not busy, sometimes we will feel empty; our lives have nothing to rely on, but we have no choice; we can only make ourselves more busy to forget these feelings. In fact, a good quality of life is not only material satisfaction, but also spiritual pursuit. The more we understand the essence of life, the more meaningful we can live a

　     In modern times, Buddhism in the world is divided into three categories. Although they are all called Buddhism, the theories and practice methods are very different. The reason for this is that when the Buddha was alive, he would explain different teachings according to the abilities of those who heard the Buddhist Dharma. After more than two thousand years of circulation and evolution, various schools have gradually formed. In fact, at the end of Buddhist practice, it is all in the same state —— that is, becoming a Buddha. Maybe different schools have different theories and methods of practice, but all roads lead to Rome, as long as it is Buddhist Dharma, no matter what kind of practice, one can eventually become a Buddha. . 　     Modern Buddhism can be roughly divided into three types: Theravada Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism and Vajrayana Buddhism. After a Buddhist beginner has been in contact with the Buddhist Dharma for a period of time, he can continue to practice in depth acc

　     Confucianism has the so-called "中庸之道 (the golden mean)", which has a similar meaning to the "middle way" of Buddhism, but the middle way of Buddhism, in the extension of the theory and the practice of behavior, goes beyond the Confucian way of the golden mean. 　     The middle way of Buddhism emerged in order to solve the problem of "the world of duality in which we live". What is "the world of duality"? In the time and space we live in, all things are one positive and one negative; they emerge in the form of duality: big and small, cold and hot, there be and there not be, pain and pleasure, good and bad, same and different, existence and non-existence......etc. When we are practicing, we will gradually find that in our dualistic world, no matter what we do or think, we cannot get balance by leaning towards one side, because that is a kind of attachment. The Buddha once said: If the strings are too tight, the sound will be sharp and the str
