Robot Monk Xian'er

在生活中总能遇到“三个和尚没水吃”的情况。懒惰，等待别人似乎是没有办法解决的问题，要怎么办呢？应该视而不见和别人一起等待，还是永远自己替别人去挑水？

The case of “three monkshave no water to drink” always occursin life. Laziness and dependence seem to be a problem that cannot be solved.How to cope with it? Turn a blind eye to wait along with others, or alwayscarry water for somebody else?

“挑水”并不是为了别人，而是为了自己。人总喜欢算计，怕自己吃亏，结果是自他俱损；不计较付出与所得，心甘情愿“吃亏”，利他的同时更是利己，吃亏是福！

“Carry water” is not forsomebody else, but for ourselves. If one always prefer calculation for fear ofsuffering losses, it will bring about the losses of others and oneself. If onedoes not fuss about his sacrifices and gains but volunteers to “suffer losses”,it will benefit oneself as well as others. That’s why sacrifices becomeblessings!

老话总说：吃亏是福，无助者天助。人真的因为厚道不计较得失而得到上天厚爱吗？

An old saying goes that sacrifices bring about blessings, and Heavenhelps the helpless. Is it true that one can receive great kindness from Heavenfor his own kindness of not bothering about personal gains and losses?

所谓“天助”，其实是“自助”，没有一个外在的“上天”来实施奖惩，一切都是由业力决定的，种善因得善果，种恶因得恶果。宽厚老实之人，因其心纯良，故福愈厚；机巧奸猾之人，因其心诡诈，故福愈薄。

The so-called “heaven-help” actually refers to “self-help”, namely,there is no external “heaven” to carry out rewards and punishments, aseverything is determined by karma. Good causes lead to good results, whereasevil causes bring about evil consequences. A kind, honest person receives moreblessings for his purely kind heart; while a crafty, cunning man get lessblessings for his deceitful mind.

看来还是要多学习，才能安心做个善良的人啊！谢谢老师！

By and large, we still need to learn more before settling to beingkind. Thank you, Master! 不客气！

It is my pleasure.
