One day, when a wise monk was weeding in the yard, three believers came to him, saluted and said, “Many people say that Buddhism could get rid of our life’s sufferings. Although we have believed in it for many years, we don’t feel happy. What’s wrong?” The master put down the hoe besides the fence, looked at them tranquilly and said, “In fact, it is not difficult to gain happiness, but first of all, you should understand the reason why you live.” They looked at each other and felt surprised when being asked such a question. After awhile, the first one said, “Death is so terrible that I should strive to live.” The second one said, “The reason why I make every effort to work is that I wish to lead an abundant life with my sons and grandsons when I am old.” The third one said, “I don’t have so high expect, for I have no choice but to live, otherwise, no one could support our family. ” After hearing that, the master smiled, “There is no wonder that all of you couldn’t gain happiness, for what you think of are death, old age and hard work instead of dream, belief and responsibility, however, life without dream, belief and responsibility will make you tired.” The believer said disapprovingly, “It is easy to mention them, but they can’t be eaten!” “Ok, now could you tell me what will make people happy?” The first one said, “If I have gained good reputation like famous people and could become a monument after death, I will feel happy.” The second one said, “If I have gained love and get together with my lover, I will be happy like an immortal.” The third one said, “If I have much money and could collect exquisite cobblestones around the world, I will be happy.” “May I ask you another question: why are some people still painful when they have gained reputation, love and money?” The master said. At that time, all of the three believers had nothing to say in reply. “Dream, belief and responsibility aren’t hollow, instead, they exist everywhere in our life, so we should change our attitude towards life so as to make our life meaningful.
