Nothing satisfies everyone
【Xian’er says so: “There is no need to please everyone.”】
Xian’er told Shifu champing with rage:
“I don’t want to be a good boy any more.
I am going to rebel, be lazy, eat a lot and sleep a lot.
I will become the most disobedient little monk of all time.”
Shifu asked: ”Why?”
Xian’er said: “Because no matter how hard I try, others still aren’t satisfied.
Some say I don’t scrub the toilet clean enough.
Some say my ice cream doesn’t taste good enough.
Some say my table manner is bad.
They criticize every aspect of me…”
Shifu told Xian’er the following which made Xian’er come to an understanding all of a sudden.
Below are quoted from my Shifu’s new book, Say Good Things—Master Xuecheng’s insight on the path to speaking like a Buddha.
Nothing satisfies everyone,
Even the Buddha himself was criticized, slandered and even harmed.
It is not necessary to aim for pleasing everyone.
Our attention is usually biased.
When there are ten positive remarks but one negative remark, we tend to hang on to the negative remark while neglecting the positives.
This is what casts shadow on our mind.
没有一件事情能令所有人满意
【贤二如是说:不必取悦所有人 】
贤二咬牙切齿地对师父说:
“我以后再也不要做一个好孩子了,
我要叛逆、我要偷懒、我要贪吃、贪睡、
我要成为近代历史上最不听话的小和尚。”
师父问:“为什么?”
贤二说:“因为我怎么努力别人都不满意,
说我的马桶擦得不干净,
说我的冰激凌不地道,
说我吃相难看,说我这个,说我那个……”
师父就跟贤二说了下面的这些话,
让贤二茅塞顿开,走出困境。
以下来自我师父的《好好说话》
没有一件事情能令所有人都满意,
即使佛陀,也有人批评、毁谤甚至加害,
不必把取悦所有人作为追求的目标。
人的注意力总是容易偏向,
一件事有十个人肯定,一个人否定,
却心心念念想着这一个否定的意见,
忽视了十个肯定的意见,
给自己的心投射下阴影。
