**【Buddhism is an education of wisdom not a religion.
We do not worship the Buddha.
We respect HIM as a teacher.
His teaching enable us to leave suffering and attain Happiness.】
The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse had just
finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of
work, his electric saw quit, and now his ancient pickup truck refused to start.
While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence.
On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked
toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of
the branches with both hands. When opening the door he underwent an amazing
transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two
small children and gave his wife a kiss.
Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my
curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do
earlier.
"Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied." I know I
can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, troubles don't
belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them on the
tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again."
He paused. "Funny thing is," he smiled, "when I
come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there ain't nearly as many as I
remember hanging up the night before."
I tag this passage from Facebook. I found it very touching, so just copy down to my blog. I translate into Chinese，once I am free. */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/ When I was a kid, my Mom liked to cook food and every now and then. I remember she used to cook for us. One night in particular when she had made dinner after a long hard day at work, Mom placed a plate of bread jam and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I was waiting to see if anyone noticed the burnt toast. But Dad just ate his toast and asked me how was my day at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember I heard Mom apologizing to dad for burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned toast."
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your momma put in a long hard day at work today and she was really tired. And besides, A burnt toast never hurts anyone but harsh words do!" You know, life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else.
What I've learned over the years, is that learning to accept each others faults and choosing to celebrate each others differences, is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. Life is too short to wake up with regrets. Love the people who treat you right and have compassion for the ones who don't.
I'd rather eat burnt food than hurt the one I love.
