Buddhist question: is it greedy to be a billionaire

学佛疑问：想成为亿万富翁算不算贪

amitabha. Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue will surely lead to prosperity and auspiciousness, success in everything you want, and great blessings and rewards.

----Zhuge Changqing

Nanwu Master Sakyamuni Buddha. Namo Amitabha. There is no Oriental Glazed Medicine Master Buddha in the south.

Nanwuliang Weide is a light Buddha. Nanwu Lantern Buddha. There is no Maitreya Buddha in the south.

Nanwudi Tibetan King Bodhisattva. Nanwukong hides Bodhisattva. Nanwu Vajra Hand Bodhisattva. Vajra hides Bodhisattva.

Nanwu Guanyin Bodhisattva. Nanwu is the most powerful Bodhisattva. Nanwu Sunlight Bodhisattva. Nanwu Moonlight Bodhisattva.

Nanwulingji Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva who removes the barriers. Bodhisattva Weituo.

Ananda. The moon loves Bodhisattva. Brother Lianhuasheng.

Blessed life is limitless. Yuanshi Tianzun. Lingbao senior. The moral supremacy. Taiyi saved the bitter god.

Lord Lao Zi. Antarctic fairy. Laozi. Confucius.

There are no Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the south. Salute all the immortals in the three realms and ten directions.

Moses. Jesus Christ. Virgin Mary. Mohammed. Allah.

There is no way to disaster or fortune, but people call themselves.

Good deeds and good deeds are blessed by the heavenly officials.

Don't do any evil, and do all good. Persist and respond to every request.

No matter who you are, as long as you do "good words, good eyes, good deeds", three good deeds a day, you will have a good fate in three years! If you don't believe it, try it for three years.

Buddha Sakyamuni said, "Do nothing evil, and all good deeds will be rewarded with good and good results.".

Taoist Laozi said: God is selfless, always with good people, and do more good deeds, and you will have good luck.

The Confucian Confucius said: "Good deeds and good deeds make the family prosperous and auspicious.".

Zhuge Changqing analyzed and studied all successful people in ancient and modern times, and found that they had one thing in common, that is, their grandparents or themselves were good people.

For example, people just admire and admire Mei Lanfang, but they don't know that Mei Lanfang's father has always been good and virtuous. Once, he turned all his savings of 2000 liang of silver into food and helped countless victims with porridge;

For example, people just admire and admire Ma Ying-jeou, but they don't know that Ma Ying-jeou's grandfather was the local "benevolent horse master". Whoever is in trouble will find the "benevolent horse master", and it will be a green light all the way!

For example, people all admire and envy Hu Xueyan's billionaire, but they don't know how many good deeds Hu Xueyan has done behind his back. Just his free treatment and medicine delivery to Hu Qingyu Hall and the relief of the victims are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver;

For example, people all admire and envy Ren Zhengfei as a billionaire of Huawei, but they don't know that Ren Zhengfei spends tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars to do charity every year.

This is how good deeds are rewarded!

Many practitioners in the world of mortals are very confused when practicing: they want to become a billionaire while practicing. Excuse me, are they too greedy?

As "A Yan" said in a message to Zhuge Changqing:

Master, I want to become a billionaire while learning Buddhism. I think that being a billionaire can play the role of "living by example", and let those who have no confidence in Buddha, Bodhisattva and good gods see it and have great confidence.

I think it will be very persuasive to learn Buddhism and become richer

I have friends around me who started to learn Buddhism because I had the money to buy a suite in Beijing. They think the life of learning Buddhism will become better and better.

I hope that I can become a billionaire, so that I can have more money to do good, print books, and subsidize poverty. I am willing to make a vow to spread the Dharma and benefit life after I earn money. I plan to join in the return after giving food and releasing, and then use the subconscious method to promote myself to become a billionaire at an early date.

As you said, "Everything is created by the heart, and everything can be realized".

Master, do you think I can succeed?

In addition, master, I want to be a billionaire. Is it true that I have committed the crime of greed in the "greed, anger, ignorance and slow suspicion"? I look forward to your instructions.

Zhuge Changqing believes that many people are like "A Yan", who are very entangled in their hearts. Is it greed to become a billionaire in the world of mortals?

Zhuge Changqing thinks that everything depends on your heart. If your intention to become a billionaire is to attract more people, to show that what you want is true, and to benefit the people, then let alone billionaires, billionaires and billionaires are all right.

For example, the famous Vimalakirti monk is a billionaire, and he is a monk in the world of mortals.

According to the Vimalakirti Sutra, Vimalakirti was a rich man in ancient India's Visheli region. His family was rich and there were many slaves. However, he is diligent in study, devout in practice, able to live in the state without living in the state, facing the environment without living in the habitat, and has achieved the holy fruit, which is called Bodhisattva. Vimalakirti is the representative of the great bodhisattvas. The truth of mindfulness is true, and the reality of equality is proved by one's own; I can see the source of all sentient beings, with constant sand worries and boundless merits. Therefore, it is convenient to enlighten all living beings, so that they can remove the troubles from the heart and show the merits from the heart. However, if it is a model and standard, it must be based on the Buddha that has already been eliminated. If you have a broad mind and verify the truth, you can take Buddha merit as merit.

You are becoming a billionaire for the sake of doing good. It is very good. It will surely come true. All Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and good gods will bless you! You can be the Vimalakirti of China, you can be the Buddha and Bodhisattva incarnated in hundreds of billions, and you will succeed if you walk around the world with a kind heart!

Of course, after becoming a billionaire, you should keep a clean heart, always remember to benefit the society, promote the law and benefit life, always remember to learn from Buddha and do good deeds, always learn from all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, all good gods, never forget your original heart, and continue to move forward towards the goal of becoming a Buddha and becoming a Taoist.

In other words, becoming a billionaire is just a "manifestation" of learning Buddhism. Let the world see that learning Buddhism can accelerate becoming a billionaire and encourage more people to learn Buddhism and practice.

Remember not to tie yourself to a "billionaire" and not to be greedy for enjoyment. We should stand at the top of the mountain to see the world, and maintain a calm and normal mind. Like Vimalakirti, although there are hundreds of billions, I am a practitioner. amitabha. wish you success!!

Let's keep in mind Lao Tzu's guidance to human beings through the "Supreme Sensation":

Laozi said: A person's fate depends on his heart.

If you are motivated by good and want to do good, then even if you haven't done anything, the God of Good and Good has started to follow and bless and protect.

If the heart starts from evil, then although evil has not been done, the evil god in heaven has followed him and punished him and reduced his blessings.

It doesn't matter even if there is a fault or a sin. As long as you really repent, swear to stop evil and do good, do nothing wrong and do good, and persevere, you will get lucky for a long time. It's called turning evil into good.

Therefore, as long as those who seek wealth and fortune and good fortune can achieve "good words, good eyes, and good deeds", there are three good deeds in a day, and then within three years, every day will be blessed.

If there are many evils, always "evil words, evil eyes, and evil deeds", and there are three evils in a day, then within three years, the disaster will come from heaven. We should be cautious and persistent in doing good deeds.

Let's see, as long as you have good intentions, it's all good, and you can work hard to do it!

You in the world of mortals, I wish you become a billionaire, and I wish you become a billionaire who benefits the society!

阿弥陀佛。行善积德，必然会富贵吉祥、心想事成，有巨大福报果报。

     南无本师释迦牟尼佛。南无阿弥陀佛。南无东方琉璃药师佛。

   南无无量威德自在光明佛。南无燃灯佛。南无弥勒佛。

   南无地藏王菩萨。南无虚空藏菩萨。南无金刚手菩萨。金刚藏菩萨。

   南无灵吉菩萨。除盖障菩萨。韦陀菩萨。

   福生无量天尊。元始天尊。灵宝天尊。道德天尊。太乙救苦天尊。

   太上老君。南极仙翁。老子。孔子。

     南无十方三世诸佛菩萨。顶礼三界十方一切神仙。

  摩西。耶稣基督。圣母玛利亚。穆罕默德。安拉。 

    祸福无门，惟人自召。

   行善积德，天官赐福。

    诸恶莫作，众善奉行。持之以恒，有求必应。

  不论是谁，只要做到“语善、眼善、行善”，一日三善，三年内必有好命运！不信，你就试验三年看看吧。

   佛祖释迦牟尼佛说：诸恶莫作，众善奉行，必有福报、果报。

  道教老子说：上天无私，常与善人，多行善事，必会吉祥如意。

  儒家孔子说：行善积德，家庭富贵吉祥。

  诸葛长青分析研究古今所有成功者，发现他们有一个共同点，就是他们的祖辈父辈或者他们自己都是行善积德的人。

  譬如，人们只是赞叹、羡慕梅兰芳，却不知道梅兰芳的父亲始终行善积德，其中一次把全部积蓄2000两银子变成粮食，施粥救助无数灾民；

  譬如，人们只是赞叹、羡慕马英九，却不知道马英九的爷爷，当年是当地的“慈善马太爷”，不论是谁，有困难就找“慈善马太爷”，绝对一路绿灯！

  譬如，人们都赞叹、羡慕胡雪岩亿万富翁，却不知道胡雪岩背后做了多少善事，仅仅他的胡庆余堂免费治病送药、救助灾民就是几十万两白银；

  譬如，人们都赞叹、羡慕华为公司任正非是亿万富翁，却不知道，任正非，每年拿出几千万、几个亿来做慈善.......。

  这就是善有善报啊！

  很多红尘修行者，修行的时候很疑惑：自己一边修行，一边想成为亿万富翁，请问，自己是不是太贪婪了？

  正如“阿言”给诸葛长青留言提问说：

  师父，我现在一边学佛，一边干事业，我想成为亿万富翁，我认为成为亿万富翁，可以发挥“现身说法”的示范作用，让那些对佛菩萨、善神没有信心的人看了，产生巨大信心。

  我认为学佛变得更有钱，会具有很大的说服力

  我身边有朋友，因为我在北京有钱买了套房而学我开始学佛的，他们觉得学佛生活就会变得越来越好。

  我希望我变成亿万富翁，那样我可以更多钱来行善、印经书、资助贫困等。我愿意发愿挣到钱后拿出一部分弘法利生。我打算施食和放生后加入回向，再利用潜意识法，推动自己早日成为亿万富翁。

  正如你说“一切唯心造，一切都可实现”。

  师父，您说我能成功吗？

  另外，师父，我想成为一个亿万富翁，算不算我犯了“贪嗔痴慢疑”中的贪罪呢？期待师傅开示。

  诸葛长青认为，很多人都和“阿言”一样，内心十分纠结。红尘之中，成为亿万富翁是不是贪念呢？

  诸葛长青是这样认为的：一切都看你的发心。如果你发心成为亿万富翁的目的是为了度化更多人、是为了显示有求必应真实不虚、是为了造福苍生，那么别说亿万富翁，千万亿富翁、百亿万富翁都是完全可以的。

  譬如著名的维摩诘居士就是亿万富翁，就是红尘中现身说法的居士。

  《维摩诘经》讲，维摩诘是古印度毗舍离地方的一个富翁，家财万贯、奴婢成群。但是，他勤于攻读，虔诚修行，能够处相而不住相，对境而不生境，得圣果成就，被称为菩萨。维摩诘为诸大菩萨之代表。直心正念真如，亲证平等实相；见得一切众生心源，具足恒沙烦恼，无量功德。故起方便教化，使一切众生，除心源上之烦恼，显心源上之功德。然其为模范与标准者，须依已除已显之佛。起广大心，证如实相，则能依佛功德为功德也。

   你是为了行善而成为亿万富翁，非常好，肯定会实现，诸佛菩萨、善神都会来加持护佑你！你可以做中国的维摩诘，你可以做化身千百亿的佛菩萨，一颗善心走天下，你一定会成功！

   当然，成了亿万富翁之后，要保持一颗清净心，时刻记住造福社会、弘法利生，时刻记住学佛行善，时刻向诸佛菩萨、诸位善神学习，不忘初心，向着成佛成道的目标继续迈进。

   换句话说，成为亿万富翁，只不过是学佛弘法的一种“表法”，让世界看看，学佛可以加速成为亿万富翁，激励更多人学佛修行。

   切记不能把自己拴在“亿万富翁”上，不能贪图享受。要站在山顶看人间，保持清静心、平常心。就像维摩诘居士一样，虽有千百亿、我是修行者。阿弥陀佛。祝你成功！！

  让我们来时刻铭记老子通过《太上感应篇》对人类的指点吧：

  老子说：一个人的命运取决于内心。

  如果心起于善，为了行善，那么即使还没有做什么，上天的善神、吉神已开始跟随护佑、赐福保护了。

  如果内心起于恶，那么恶虽未为，而上天的凶神已跟随左右，对他予以惩罚、削减福报了。

  即使有过错、罪业，也不要紧，只要内心真正悔改，发誓止恶行善，做到诸恶莫作、众善奉行，持之以恒，久久必获吉庆，所谓转祸为福也。

  所以，求富贵吉祥、求好命运的人，只要能做到“语善、眼善、行善”，一日有三善，那么三年内，上天天必降之福。

  如果作恶多端，总是“语恶、眼恶、行恶”，一日有三恶，那么，三年之内，上天必降之祸。大家要谨慎行善、持之以恒啊。

   大家看看，只要有善心善念，都是好事，都可以努力去做！

  红尘中的你，祝你成为亿万富翁，祝你成为造福社会的百亿富翁！
