佛经上有个故事,是说很久以前,在波罗奈有个人以苦力为生,他非常勤俭,每当有些积蓄时,他就换成黄金,封藏在罐子里,然后埋在家中。当他看到黄金一天天地增加,他的快乐也就与日俱增。 日子一天天过去了,他省吃俭用,终于换来了满满七个罐子的黄金,但这时他也老了,最后留下他的黄金,与世长辞了。 死后,他还念念不忘留下的黄金,这终于使他变成了一条毒蛇,仍日夜守护着他生前所埋藏的黄金。就这样,斗转星移,经过了一万年。有一天他突然醒悟到,就是由于这样的执著和贪婪,才使他一万年来脱离不了蛇身。觉悟后,他立刻获得了解脱。 There is a story in the Buddhist scriptures that a long time ago, there was a man in Polonay who worked hard to earn a living. He was very thrifty. Whenever he got some savings, he switched to gold, sealed it in jars and buried it in his home. As he saw the increase of gold day by day, his happiness also increased day by day. Day by day, he lived frugally, and finally bought gold in full of seven jars, but when he was old, he finally left his gold and survived. When he died, he kept remembered the gold he had left behind, which finally turned him into a poisonous snake, guarding the gold he buried in his lifetime. In this way, the twists and turns, after a million years. One day he suddenly wake up, it is because of such perseverance and greed, it made him a thousand years can not be separated from the snake body. After being conscious, he immediately gained relief.
