在於善用                   林鈺堂     簡繁轉換 - 繁體

 

火供用過的塑料袋
弟子問說 還要嗎
我說要 可再用
弟子說 師父好省錢
我回道 至少還可裝廚房的垃圾

其實重點還不在省錢
而是做人要善用智慧
還可利用的 不要任意廢棄
事無大小 我們的處置顯示我們的為人

Making Good Uses


Yutang Lin

 

Plastic bags used for fire puja offerings
A disciple asked me, still want to keep?
I replied, want, may be reused
The disciple remarked, Guru is good on saving money
I replied, at least can be used for garbage in kitchen

Indeed, the key point is not on saving money
But that as a person one need to make good use of one’s senses
Things that can still be utilized should not be arbitrarily discarded in waste
Be it matters large or small
How we handle them reveal who we are as persons
