"อานิสงส์ของการให้ทานด้วยความปลื้มใจและใจที่บริสุทธิ์" (The Merits of Joyful Giving and a Pure Heart) ตอนที่ 2

ตอนที่ 3: ความลับในอดีตกับอาหารรสเลิศ 🍛

ทำไมเศรษฐีคนนี้ถึงรวยแต่กลับไม่กล้าใช้เงิน? พระสัมมาสัมพุทธเจ้าทรงเล่าว่า ในอดีตชาติเขาเคยเป็นมหาเศรษฐีที่ได้ถวายอาหารรสเลิศแก่พระปัจเจกพุทธเจ้า

แต่หลังจากถวายไปแล้ว เขากลับ นึกเสียดาย และคิดว่า "อาหารดี ๆ แบบนี้ เอาไปให้คนใช้กินยังจะทำงานให้เราได้มากกว่า"

ความเสียดายนี้เองที่ทำให้เขามีผลบุญส่งให้รวยในชาติถัดมา แต่กลับไม่มีความสุขในการใช้ทรัพย์สมบัติที่ตนมี

หัวใจสำคัญของการให้ จึงมี 3 ระยะคือ ก่อนให้ต้องเลื่อมใส ขณะให้ต้องเต็มใจ และหลังให้ต้องปลื้มใจ ไม่นึกเสียดายภายหลัง ผลบุญจึงจะเต็มเม็ดเต็มหน่วยครับ

ตอนที่ 4: บทเรียนจากนกเขากับของของกู 🐦

ยังมีอีกเรื่องราวของเศรษฐีพี่น้องคู่หนึ่ง พี่ชายออกบวชเป็นฤาษีและสอนให้น้องชายหมั่นทำทาน

แต่น้องชายกลับเกิดความโลภจนทำผิดพลาดครั้งใหญ่เพราะอยากฮุบสมบัติไว้คนเดียว

ท่านฤาษีจึงมาสอนด้วยเรื่อง "นกเขา" ที่เกาะบนต้นไม้ที่มีผลสุก แล้วร้องว่า "ของกู ของกู" อยู่ตลอดเวลา

ในขณะที่นกตัวอื่น ๆ บินมากินผลไม้จนอิ่มแล้วบินจากไป แต่นกเขาตัวนั้นก็ยังมัวแต่หวงและร้องอยู่แบบเดิมจนไม่ได้กินอะไรเลย

เปรียบเหมือนคนที่สะสมทรัพย์ไว้มากแต่ไม่ยอมใช้และไม่ยอมแบ่งปัน สุดท้ายทรัพย์นั้นก็ถูกคนอื่นเอาไป ส่วนผู้มีปัญญาจะรู้จักใช้ทรัพย์เลี้ยงตนและช่วยเหลือผู้อื่น ซึ่งจะทำให้ได้รับความสุขทั้งในโลกนี้และโลกหน้าครับ

“Công đức của việc bố thí với niềm hoan hỷ và tâm trong sạch”

Phần 3 & Phần 4

Phần 3: Bí mật từ quá khứ và món ăn thượng hạng 🍛

Tại sao người phú ông này giàu có nhưng lại không dám tiêu dùng tài sản của mình?

Đức Phật đã kể rằng trong một kiếp quá khứ, ông từng là một vị đại phú gia đã dâng cúng những món ăn thượng hạng đến một vị Phật Độc Giác (Pacceka Buddha).

Nhưng sau khi cúng dường xong, ông lại sinh tâm tiếc nuối và nghĩ rằng:

«“Những món ăn ngon như thế này, nếu đem cho người hầu ăn thì họ còn có thể làm việc cho ta được nhiều hơn.”»

Chính sự tiếc nuối ấy khiến công đức của ông vẫn đưa đến quả báo giàu sang trong kiếp sau, nhưng ông lại không có được niềm vui khi sử dụng tài sản mà mình sở hữu.

Vì vậy, cốt lõi của việc bố thí gồm có ba giai đoạn:

1. Trước khi cho: Khởi tâm tin kính và hoan hỷ.

2. Trong khi cho: Cho đi với sự tự nguyện và chân thành.

3. Sau khi cho: Luôn vui mừng, không hối tiếc hay tiếc nuối những gì đã cho.

Khi cả ba giai đoạn đều được thực hiện bằng tâm thanh tịnh, công đức sẽ được trọn vẹn và viên mãn.

Phần 4: Bài học từ chim cu gáy và tiếng kêu “Của ta!” 🐦

Còn có một câu chuyện khác về hai anh em nhà phú hộ.

Người anh xuất gia làm đạo sĩ và thường khuyên em mình siêng năng bố thí, làm việc thiện.

Thế nhưng người em lại sinh lòng tham lam, muốn chiếm giữ toàn bộ tài sản cho riêng mình và đã phạm phải một sai lầm lớn.

Để giáo hóa em trai, vị đạo sĩ đã kể câu chuyện về một con chim cu gáy đậu trên cây đầy trái chín.

Nó cứ liên tục kêu:

«“Của ta! Của ta!”»

Trong khi đó, những con chim khác bay đến, ăn no những trái cây chín rồi thong thả bay đi.

Riêng con chim cu gáy ấy vẫn mãi bận rộn giữ của và kêu “của ta” không ngừng, đến nỗi cuối cùng chẳng được ăn gì cả.

Câu chuyện này ví như những người tích lũy rất nhiều tài sản nhưng không biết sử dụng và cũng không biết chia sẻ cho người khác.

Cuối cùng, tài sản ấy có thể rơi vào tay người khác, còn bản thân họ lại không nhận được lợi ích gì từ những gì mình đã sở hữu.

Ngược lại, người có trí tuệ sẽ biết dùng tài sản để nuôi dưỡng bản thân, giúp đỡ người khác và tạo thêm điều thiện lành.

Nhờ đó, họ sẽ gặt hái được hạnh phúc cả trong hiện tại lẫn tương lai.

The Merits of Joyful Giving and a Pure Heart

Part 3: A Secret from the Past and a Delicious Offering 🍛

Why was this wealthy man rich, yet reluctant to spend his wealth?

The Buddha explained that in a previous life, he had been a great millionaire who offered a delicious meal to a Paccekabuddha (Solitary Buddha).

However, after making the offering, he felt regret and thought:

«"Such fine food would have been better given to my servants; they could have worked harder for me."»

Because of that regret, the merit of his generosity still brought him wealth in his next life. Yet he was unable to enjoy the riches he possessed and found little happiness in using his wealth.

This story teaches that true generosity has three important stages:

1. Before giving – One should have faith and a joyful mind.

2. While giving – One should give willingly and wholeheartedly.

3. After giving – One should feel happy and satisfied, without regret or attachment.

When all three stages are accompanied by a pure and joyful heart, the merit generated becomes complete and abundant.

Part 4: The Lesson of the Dove and “Mine, Mine!” 🐦

There is another story about two wealthy brothers.

The elder brother became an ascetic and often encouraged his younger brother to practice generosity.

However, the younger brother became greedy and made a serious mistake because he wanted to keep all the family wealth for himself.

To teach him, the ascetic told a story about a dove perched on a tree full of ripe fruit. The dove kept crying out:

«“Mine! Mine!”»

Meanwhile, other birds flew in, ate the ripe fruit until they were satisfied, and then flew away.

But the dove remained there, jealously guarding the fruit and repeatedly crying “Mine! Mine!” As a result, it never actually ate any fruit itself.

This is like people who accumulate great wealth but neither use it nor share it with others. In the end, that wealth eventually passes into someone else's hands.

A wise person, on the other hand, knows how to use wealth to support themselves and to help others. By doing so, they gain happiness both in this life and in the lives to come.
