How to enrich the spiritual life of householders.

Staying at home is mainly about how to build a Buddhist family.

People who stay at home should know how to manage their homes and do their roles well. Man is a member of family, and family is the prototype of society. If we want the country to be rich and strong, the people to be safe, and the society to be purified, we must first start from the family. To build a happy family, we must start from ourselves. People's life in society has two elements, namely spiritual needs and material needs. How can we enrich the spirit and material?

There are three kinds of telepathy: emotion, socialization and entertainment. Feelings refer to parents, couples, sisters, brothers, children, etc. These are all related to family ties. The so-called life has three difficulties, that is, teenagers have no parents, middle-aged widows, old people have no children, and brothers and sisters are like brothers and sisters. If any one of them is emotionally absent or the relationship breaks down, it will lead to mental shock and trauma.

(1) Emotion: There are several ways to build feelings and enrich the spirit:

Be filial to parents, filial piety is filial piety, providing material and physical needs; Obedience is obedience, and nothing goes against parents' wishes.

There are some examples in Twenty-four Filial Piety, such as "Ding Lan Wood Carving". After Ding Lan lost her parents, she carved the wood into an image, just like she was born. Another example is "Meng Zong cries for bamboo". Meng Zong's mother is sick and misses bamboo shoots to cook porridge in winter. Meng Zonglin is in the bamboo forest, weeping over bamboo, filial piety moves the sky, and bamboo shoots produce several stems. Another example is "Wang Xiang lying carp". When the stepmother wants to eat fresh fish, it is freezing in the cold. Wang Xiang lies on the ice begging for carp, and the double carp jumps out. And "Lao Lai Opera". Lao Lai himself is over 70 years old and dare not call himself old in front of his parents. He also plays baby games to entertain his parents.

The story told in Twenty-four Filial Pieties is that children honor their parents in various ways. In any case, these are the only remaining filial piety in the world. Master lianchi said: "The dust is near." True filial piety is that you have a successful career. Being a vegetarian, minding Buddhism, doing more good deeds, helping others, persuading parents to believe in Buddhism, minding Buddhism, and getting parents out of their misery are the real filial piety.

Husband and wife should be honest with each other. Sincerity means no hypocrisy. Don't hide anything, so as not to cause differences and misunderstandings. Be honest regardless of money, personnel and differences.

Brothers and sisters should understand each other, help each other and live in harmony.

As for children, it is more important to serve the public in the future than wealth, because property is owned by five families: water, fire, thief, evil king and black sheep. Even if money is left to children, they may not cherish it. Giving children a good education is the most useful wealth.

(2) Socialization: The communication between friends is also indispensable in spirit, and the honesty between them is very important. Therefore, it is very important to make good friends and choose good friends.

(3) Entertainment: Choose meaningful entertainment, such as wine, color, dogs and horses. It's just a short anesthesia, and then you'll feel empty. I hope you don't waste your time. Use this body to do things that are beneficial and meaningful to the public (such as volunteering and listening to the law). ).
