The quality of people varies. On weekdays, we divide people into smart and stupid people. However, Buddhism believes that people should be classified according to their roots. People with roots should be able to trust and receive them when they hear it. Quick; medium-rooted people who have studied for a long time and cultivated diligently; the last type of people is inferior-rooted, unbelievable, diligent cultivation may not be able to gain Tao, but because of the practice in this life, perhaps the next life will be a medium-rooted person, or it may be directly Superior roots.
Here is a verse from the Ksitigarbha scripture to help you understand:
Ksitigarbha
Or have a strong root, to hear is to believe. Or have good results, diligently persuade achievement. Or there may be dull and dull, and the party will return for a long time.
Maybe you don’t understand it very well, and you always feel that everyone has a head on their shoulders. What’s the difference, in fact, people are really different from each other.
From the perspective of family conditions, some people were born with a golden key from an early age, while others were born into lay families, and even when they were born, their parents were already in debt; When they set foot in society, some people have high salaries and good treatment, found a good partner, and gave birth to promising children; while some people are miserable and have low incomes, and there may be this Without a pause, I found a bad temper for the other half of the day. The two had a small practice for three days and a big practice for five days. They gave birth to a child that was naughty and naughty, and often caused trouble.
As the saying goes, people are more dead than people, and you have to throw away goods. In fact, the blame is different in basic nature and different benefits, but they can all be cultivated.

01Five fingers are not the same
When people come to the ground, we have discovered a phenomenon, this phenomenon is very common, almost everyone has it, that is, the five fingers are not the same, although the five fingers are not the same, but what is missing No one will work. Today, let me tell you a story first.

hand
It is said that there are five brothers. They are together every day, whether they are resting or working, but I don’t know from which day conflicts began to arise between these five brothers. All five of the brothers think they are great, and they do everything day by day. Become arrogant. It’s no longer the attitude of the old brothers and sisters and respectful brothers and sisters. It’s starting to be ignorant of no one, no one to see anyone, each of them is better than the enlightened ones, but they didn’t pierce that. Nothing more than a layer of window paper.
Finally one day, the five of these brothers were unreliable. Someone proposed a meeting, and it was more worthwhile to re-decide who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother.
Brother Thumb spoke first, "Don't look at my short head, but I have great enthusiasm, and as long as I praise others on the scene, I will come forward, but I didn't let you guys, right? It's all about giving a thumbs up to other people's circle of friends. Doesn’t the appearance of my thumbing show that my eldest brother deserves it?"
Thumbs up
After hearing this, the second child stood up on the spot, showing a look of disdain, "Hey, what is this? What's so arrogant about it? Leaders can sign, write reports, and write comments. , Can’t it be done without my index finger? The leader arranges tasks and asks me to give them instructions? Besides, when the leader criticizes his subordinates, doesn’t he also let me do it? Of course, these are not credits. At the wine board, the leaders toast and serve cups, the leaders pick up the dishes and take the chopsticks, and the leaders wipe the mouth and take the tissues. Isn't it all my credit?"
index finger
As soon as he sat down, the third child stood up and said, "Second brother, don't you say a few words, no wonder the current climate is so bad, the leading cadres have contributed to the bureaucratic habits, so you did it all, so I am embarrassed to ask for credit." , You can pull it down. Everyone look at me, although I don’t have any heroic deeds, but we are tall, if we use the size as the standard, then the seat of the big brother is none other than me, and we can also despise others. If someone is unhappy, you can stand me up and tell the other party loudly, Fuck! Isn't it uncomfortable to convey your inner contempt to the other party?"

Middle finger
The fourth child saw that the three older brothers had already expressed their views, and he couldn’t be vague, “I’m not the tallest one. At any rate, it’s the second highest altitude shooter. I’m usually unknown. I work harder and talk less. I don’t even know my name. , Is called Wuming, think about it, when we got married, which finger did the two exchange wedding rings on? I just saw that the three brothers said that they all made sense, so I wanted to give everyone a comment, but, I also agree to rearrange the seats."
Ring finger with a wedding ring
The fourth child was once a peacemaker, the fifth child thought, the bad guys and the good guys are all let you be. I do woolen yarn, so let’s not fight for the boss, and we can’t rank other positions. We have to be the youngest. "The four brothers are all right. On weekdays, I, thanks to the blessings of my brothers, are the least affected, but the flowers are covered with green leaves. No, although I don’t contribute much, but I don’t want to kill the achievements. I also agree to rearrange. seat."

Little finger
At this time, the palm of the hand spoke, "Oh, see if the wings are stiff, all of them feel that they can do it on their own, and they don’t need others? No, there is an apple over there. The master wants to eat it, you guys. Let’s go and try, if you can give the apple to your master alone, you can re-rank your seniority."
Can you imagine the result? In the end, no one succeeded in singles, and we had to rely on everyone's cooperation. After this incident, everyone also gave up the idea and still got along as before.
Five fingers are not the same
People, that's it. Some people have high understanding, good aptitude, and high talent, but it doesn't mean that they are perfect, let alone that they can be proud and look down on others. Although the quality of people varies, there are always people who seem to be stupid, and their achievements are greater than those who can speak well and plan carefully. Perhaps this is the wisdom of the fool.

02Students are good or bad in learning, work and work are dumb and smart, and people's savvy is high or low
From childhood to large, we have from preschool to kindergarten, elementary school to junior high school, high school to university. Although not everyone has the opportunity to go to school, we all know that in the same grade in the same class, if you learn well, you will learn. not good.
Students who study well may decline in their academic performance due to some reasons (such as early love, bad school, etc.); students who do not study well may also increase their academic performance because they have found a way or are no longer eager to play. It is also possible.
student
And high-grade students should not look down on lower-grade students because they have access to more advanced knowledge, because maybe when they are showing off, maybe the other party may be a child prodigy, and they are discussing the knowledge of the fifth grade of elementary school. People, the child prodigy, are all self-taught. That's it, don't you think you are in a high grade now, what's so arrogant?
The same is true for human work. Some people are ingenious, learn things very fast, and work very well. And some people, even though they work very hard, can't do anything, and their work is not efficient, and they are looked down upon by many people.
Perhaps it's just that this stupid person didn't get into the right line. If he gets into the right line, he might still be the top pick in that industry.
I suddenly remembered Han Xin. Han Xin used to be unable to eat, and had to rely on an old lady washing clothes by the river to help him. At the time, he was insulted by a butcher and made Han Xin go under his crotch. What is even more annoying is that, I thought about going to Xiang Yu to build up a career, but Xiang Yu didn't reuse him. But no one thought that Han Xinju would then be named the commander-in-chief of the three armies by the Han King Liu Bangbai, and he gave Xiang Yu an ambush, and finally established a big man.

Similarly, people’s savvy is also high and low. Some people can understand the meaning of the other party with only a vague sentence, while some people, even if they chew it up, completely understand what they want to express. Tell the other party, but still very confused. But people with high savvy should never look down on people with low savvy. It may only be temporary. Maybe one day they experience something, or if they change the method, they will naturally become enlightened, and their realm will rise faster than anyone else.

Anyone who has watched the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty" knows that Emperor Kangxi established the great cause of Qianqiu. Ping Sanfan, Ping Zhungeer, and regaining Taiwan were all completed during the time of Emperor Kangxi.
In the TV series, Emperor Kangxi asked Yao Qisheng to analyze the strategy of regaining Taiwan. Yao Qisheng’s analysis was based on Taoism, but in the last time, Emperor Kangxi asked Yao Qisheng to recommend a military general. Yao Qisheng said that Shi Lang was once his student, because of his performance when he was studying. It was too unsatisfactory and he was expelled from his teacher by Yao Qisheng. Later, he did not expect that Shi Lang abandoned his literary and martial arts, and instead established an immortal merit.

Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of entering the wrong line. A momentary frustration of people may cause contempt by outsiders, disgust from family members, and sometimes even caring can bring great pressure and make people feel sensitive. At this time, frustration I can’t distinguish between family members and outsiders, and treat them equally with hostility. I feel the same for this situation.
There is no rubbish in the world, only resources that are misplaced. Li Bai said, I am born to be useful. As long as I find the right direction, one day, the ugly duckling can become a white swan.

I remember that there was an article that I told a story about Venerable Zhouli Pantuo's enlightenment.
This story is a bit old-fashioned, but let’s talk about it briefly. When Venerable Zhouli Pantu became a monk, he was particularly stupid. Many monks at the same time had already certified Luo Han Guo, but he couldn't even understand what the Buddha said, let alone tell others. At this time, the Buddha told him to sweep the floor every day, but after sweeping for a period of time, he became enlightened.
"Sweeping the floor, sweeping the floor, and not sweeping the floor!"
Some people feel that they are poorly rooted and slow in their cultivation. There are 84,000 methods in Buddhism, and there is always one method that suits them.
Some monks and big lay brothers always say that there is a certain method of three roots, but I want to say that there is no universal law in the world, and no method can save all sentient beings. Everyone can say that this method is good, but don't mislead others. If some people only practice this method and fail to become enlightened in the end, who will be responsible for this person?
Ms. Chen Xiaoxu, who played Lin Daiyu in "Dream of Red Mansions", had breast cancer. Later, she believed in Buddhism and converted to Buddhism. For some reason, she did not live in the Pure Land and she was still so young. Maybe a person who is alive can put all the blame on a dead person, but think about it, will the conscience be condemned?

Venerable Zhouli Pantuo
When Confucius was teaching, did he still have to teach students in accordance with their aptitude? Shakyamuni also found several teachers back then, and finally gathered all the methods to find the truth of liberation. Who dares to say that a certain method is great, and that a good method can liberate all sentient beings?
Besides, everyone has different fundamentals, and what is suitable for A may not be suitable for B.
I also hope that all buddhas will not blindly follow superstitions just because certain monks and great lay priests have auras (not disrespect, in fact, I respect these people very much, and I refer to many of their methods in the process of practice). You must find a method that suits you, and you must have your own rhythm of practice. And as a layman, you must first perform family and social responsibilities, and then consider the matter of spiritual practice, otherwise, it will only become a negative teaching material.
