My fellow initiates' work was finished, and I got a raise. In three weeks, my family's annual income will increase by140,000 RMB!

Today is September 19, and I'm here to finish what I said before. (See the offline part for details of the story)

On September 4, my fellow initiates got the letter of appointment from the second company as scheduled, and the conditions of this second company were better than the first one. In addition to giving fellow initiates a salary increase of nearly120,000 RMB a year, we also add the so-called "impromptu signing fee", which is about 40,000 RMB. In other words, as long as I say "OK, I will come to work in your company", I can get this one-time "impromptu signing fee". This matter ends here.

I'll talk about two other things. The first thing is that my supervisor suddenly called me to the office on September 14 and said that he wanted to talk to me for five minutes. I was confused, but I hurried there. As soon as I entered the boss's office, the boss told me to close the door and began to congratulate me. After a long time, I got a raise, and my salary increased by more than 20 thousand a year This is very strange. September is the middle of the year, and there has been no salary increase. My boss also said that this salary increase is only for a few people, so we can't talk about it in the company to avoid unnecessary disputes …

It's strange that I don't want to change my job. I didn't ask my boss for a raise either. This salary increase came unexpectedly and suddenly, but it still made me very happy.

The second thing, on September 12, I received a phone call from my colleague informing me that I had won the grand prize. What big prize? It's just a big basket full of gifts of all sizes. This is the second time that I have won such a grand prize. This kind of reward is a tradition of our company. Every September, employees of various departments donate money to buy various gifts and put them in large and small flower baskets for people to buy raffle tickets and draw this basket. All the money for buying lottery tickets will be donated to some specific charities, which may be orphanages or homes for stray animals, not necessarily. I usually buy some lottery tickets, not to win the prize, but to help these organizations.

To tell the truth, this kind of award is not easy to get because there are many people involved. I not only won the prize, but also won the biggest prize. Besides, I won the prize last year, which is also one of the biggest prizes in the lottery. It's a little difficult to come down for two years in a row. You know, I've only been in this company for two years. In other words, I participated in this donation/lucky draw and won two grand prizes, which surprised me. It is true that I donate money for the purpose, not to win the prize, so I donate a little more money than the people who usually take part in the lucky draw, but that doesn't mean I will win the prize. My colleague who helped me put the basket in the car asked me to buy lottery tickets quickly, because he also thought it was too difficult to win, and I actually won. However, all the gifts I got will probably be donated again at Christmas, because I don't need them myself, but I am quite happy when I open them.

Here I can share an experience with you. I have never been biased towards wealth since I was a child, that is, it is never my turn to win prizes, and I can't even touch a small prize. I will always be the only one who stands by and envies others. However, since I started donating money to various charities a few years ago and became accustomed to it, my fellow initiates and I began to get lucky, making a windfall and winning prizes, and began to see what others thought was "you are so lucky". We began to feel that the donated money was quickly doubled back, and the returned money came right (such as a salary increase), so we took it with confidence.

Now, my fellow initiates and I are following one of the precepts of the Bodhisattva, that is, in the vernacular, all beings who ask you will not return empty-handed. The wish of all beings. When someone comes to ask for money, we have to give him some money if we empty our pockets. If (animals) come to ask for food, we will also get some food. If you come to make other demands, we will try our best to meet them. You can try it, and the result is very interesting.

Our story does sound like a fable. Oh, you must be wondering, how did so many good things get to my house? Really or not? I can tell you that these are all 100% real experiences of myself or fellow initiates, which are really wonderful, but it's nothing to look at with a normal heart.

Learn Buddhism well and everything will be fine. It really is.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

A series of things happened to us in the past week, which made us dumbfounded and had no time to react. The dust has not settled yet, but I think it's time to share it with you.

On August 24th, I copied the first article of the Tripitaka with gold lacquer. As a result, on the evening of August 28, my fellow initiates told me that he was laid off by the company that morning and had to pack up and leave at noon. This is the first time he has been laid off. I'm glad to hear the news. My fellow initiates can finally take this opportunity to catch their breath and have a rest. I told him not to worry about finding another job, because my income alone can support my family (not my high income but my low expenses), and we can live without work. I gave him three ways. The first is to go back to Taiwan Province Province to spend time with his father, who is over eighty years old. Second, travel and rest; The third is to take the opportunity to close the door, read the Buddhist scriptures well and copy half of them.

Because this happened suddenly, my fellow initiates were unprepared and didn't decide what to do, but he sent his resume to two human resources companies on the afternoon of the 28th to see what the market was like. Later that day, on the 28th, my fellow initiates received an inquiry call from the human resources company.

I spent a happy day at home on the 29th, buying food and cooking, going to the gym to exercise, cleaning the house, cleaning the living environment of cats, taking a nap and feeding wild cats ...

On the afternoon of the 30th, he had an interview, and the two sides talked for more than an hour, which was very pleasant.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of March/Kloc-0, he received the letter of appointment to interview his company on the afternoon of the 30th. The company paid me a little more than 100% as required by fellow initiates, and I didn't deduct a penny. Ah, how is that possible? There was an interview on the morning of 3 1, and the two sides talked for more than two hours, which was very enjoyable. Due to the festival, the other party has indicated that it will submit an appointment letter to my fellow initiates on the next working day. There was another interview on the afternoon of 3 1, and the initiates thought that the previous two interviews were enough, so they cancelled them.

Do you know the strangeness of this matter? With my fellow initiate's experience in this field 15 years, excellent work performance, good personal connections and the current labor market situation, it is impossible for him to be asked to be laid off at this time. His previous company and six or seven other people were laid off at the same time, and there was no news beforehand. My fellow initiates said that when he greeted his superiors before he left, they showed great reluctance to let him go. The two companies he went to interview were also surprised that he was laid off at this time, saying that he could not understand it, so it was strange that he was strongly sanctioned at this time.

Secondly, his new salary (taking the letter of appointment received on March 3 1 as an example) is a little higher than his old salary, and it will probably increase by nearly120,000 RMB a year. Neither company he applied for cared about his salary or other details. The first company even asked him if he could go to work next Monday. According to the employment process of American companies, this is simply impossible. Usually, we have to wait a few days after the interview to get a reply. Even if we get an immediate reply, there will be some discount on our salary. How can my fellow initiates get an interview the next day after being laid off, and receive a letter of appointment the next day, and the salary is completely negotiated according to the price offered by my fellow practitioners? Why did all such good things fall into my house?

How did this happen? He was inexplicably dismissed by the company and found a new job in a few days. The job content and professional title have not changed much, but his salary has increased by120,000 yuan a year. To be honest, we feel a little "so much money has been forced into our arms."

The purpose of writing this post is not to talk about the work of my fellow initiates or why we are so lucky, but, I wonder, does this have anything to do with my copying of Tibetan scriptures with gold lacquer?

I believe this matter has something to do with my copying of Tibetan scriptures with gold lacquer. Is this induced? I don't know what you think.

But when I copied the classics, I didn't think there was any benefit or purpose in my mind. I didn't. I just thought it would be great to copy Tibetan scriptures with gold paint, so I copied them. I really haven't thought about anything else. It was unintentional.

Of course, my fellow initiates said that it had something to do with him donating money to a colleague who had cancer, copying scriptures and practicing. This is not my factor. As you can see, the two of us took this as a joke and guessed the cause of it. In fact, whether it is induced or not, we really don't know, we can only say that a series of things happened at a point in time too cleverly and smoothly, as if there was an invisible hand behind the command; We seem to be blessed.

You should also understand that only the Buddha can explain the cause and effect, and we ordinary people can also see why things are like this, but this is unnatural and natural, full of factors beyond our control, and the result is beyond our expectation.

I wrote the salary difference before and after, not to show off, but to show you how much human news the Ksitigarbha Sutra/Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can bring to people in such a short time! If this is induction, this induction is really fast and fierce!

Here I still want to say that copying the scriptures is good, copying the scriptures is wonderful, and only by copying the scriptures can we know that Buddhism is terrible! Please try to copy the scriptures if you haven't copied them yet, especially if you are a person who can't sit still, has low back pain due to confession, can't understand the scriptures, has no time to play them, has no money to seal the scriptures, is afraid of being cheated by donating money, and has nowhere to find Master (Gee, I seem to be talking about myself! ), you can try copying Buddhist scriptures, or you can copy four sentences first. This is also one of the 84 thousand practices. You can copy with any pen and any paper. But when copying classics, don't forget to have a clean heart and no distractions, but after copying, go back and find a clean drawer to put the copied classics in, so that the merits will be complete.
