Once, a young man with a bad temper got into many troubles because of his bad temper, but he was also at fault, but he couldn't get rid of his innate bad habits. When others hated him many times and hit him, he suddenly felt that Zen master should be able to help him solve this problem and find this knot in his heart.
The next day, I went to the temple and asked Zen master Pan Jue, "Master, I was born with this grumpy temper. I can't change it if I want to. I don't know how to change it. " Please enlighten me and answer my doubts for so many years. The Zen master said, "You said you were born with a bad temper. Please tell me how you were born. "
The young man said, "Master, I am in a good mood now. I'm just saying that once something unpleasant happens, this natural bad temper will show up. " The Zen master replied, "Oh, when you are in a good mood, your temper is not bad. When something happens, it will appear. In other words, when you are unhappy with others, your temper is caused by yourself. Now you keep telling me that your temper is natural. Isn't that blaming all your faults on your parents? " Is this unfair? "
Zen master's theory of harmony, at this time, young people know shame, so that he will not lose his temper for no reason, what's more, he is born with that kind of grumpy temper, and he is making trouble himself.
Everything in the world is not born, let alone people's bad habits. Even nature is bound to produce all kinds of things. Our nature contains all kinds of laws of good and evil. The so-called "mind gives birth to all laws, and mind destroys all laws." As long as everyone has a heart, there is no bad habit that cannot be changed. Try your best to do it and change it from the heart! It is said in Guiguzi that the heart is the master of human beings!
