Many "consultants" give us solutions where it requires less effort

SOLUTION TO CHANGE DESTINY

There was a woman who wore no makeup on her gaunt face and had dark circles under her eyes. She sat in a back-row seat and that drew Mr. Hai’s attention. He invited the woman to sit next to him to have some words of care towards her. She said that her life at first was not too bad, and she just had some trivial problems. However, she took advice from a fortune teller who told her to change her house’s feng shui. She had spent a lot of money on that. Later, she was invited to attend a séance where she was told that she had been haunted by some spirits, and she had to pay for expensive offerings to solve that issue.

Again, she lost a big amount of money, and she and her husband started to argue about her wasting money. Worried about ruining her marriage, she borrowed more money to make another offering to the séance. Nothing good happened to her but her divorce. The more she tried to find solutions to change her destiny, the more she sank in tragedy. She had nowhere to go, and she heard that this meditation hall was a happy place, so she wanted to try coming here but she didn't know what she would say or ask.

Mr. Hai said:

• That's because you have used the wrong solutions that couldn't make better changes for your destiny. If you had found the right ones, your life would have been happier.

• Yes, sir. Please let me know what the right things you think I should do.

• If you want to change your fate and make it better, then you should forget your own fate, and care about others' fates instead.
  The woman looked at Mr. Hai with her eyes wide open as she seemed not to understand what he just said. Mr. Hai slowly
  went on to say:

• You were poisoned before by people you asked for advice. They gave you solutions that made you care about your own destiny more, rather than others, which then made you become stuck in tragedy. They should have advised you to forget your destiny and help others, to care about others. And if you had done this, you would not have come here today.

People become miserable and make mistakes when they keep focusing on their own benefits. If we know to live for others' happiness, then happiness itself will find ways to come to us naturally even when we do not expect it.
Please just think about this. If you were poisoned by wrong advice that made your life broken, so there are many people who have ended up like you as well. They also feel lost and desperate. This suffering does not only happen to you, but also to many people.

Moreover, a lot of people also suffer for many other reasons, so you’re not the only one to suffer. If you go on focusing on yourself, only thinking about your suffering and trying to find ways to escape from your suffering, then you will be stuck forever.
You only have one way to have a happy life, which is trying to help others to make them less miserable.

The woman asked:

• Sir, I cannot even take care of myself, how can I care for others?
• Everybody has the same thought like yours when they are suffering. But if we are determined to ignore ourselves and to change the ways we live, then we will suddenly see there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Then we will realize that we still have many opportunities to help others. Now you may stay here for a few days, and don't worry about anything, just try to practice meditation with all these friends here. Being here for several days will help you change your mind from the tendency to only care about yourself into only caring about others.

The woman agreed and was taken to the guest room to get some rest.

That afternoon, she began to practice meditation and she found it quite hard because she was not used to it. In the evening, she joined a discussion about morality lifestyle and listened to others sharing their experiences. Each person had to struggle very hard to fight against their own mistakes, but they gradually started to have a happy and peaceful life.

Three days later, she said goodbye to everyone as she realized that there were many ways to take care of people around her. She believed that there would be happiness awaiting her. She thought that she was hopeless, but it turned out that the life road was still open wide for her to keep moving forward. It's only because she has changed solutions - taking care of others even more than taking care of herself.

Many "consultants" give us solutions where it requires less effort but still makes a big change in our destiny: money flowing in like water, getting rapid promotion in career, no hardship in working or get a lot of love, etc. However, those solutions have a serious mistake that is losing the fairness of the heaven and the earth. The more efforts we make, the better our results are. We have to take care of others, then happiness will come to our life. We have to live nobly. Then one-day happiness will not be out of our reach.
