There was once a prince, before you embark on the journey of life, he asked his teacher - Sakyamuni Buddha: "I am the road of life in the future will be how it?"
Buddha replied: "You're in the way of life, will encounter three doors, each door on the written word, to the time you read it to understand you through the third door, I will first Three of the doors there waiting for you. "
So, Prince road.
Soon, he encountered the first door that read: "Change the World."
The prince thought: I have to follow my ideal plan in this world, all get rid of all those things I could not understand. So, he will do so.
A few years later, the prince encountered a second door that read: "change others. '
Prince: I want to use a better idea to educate people want their character toward the right direction. So, he will do so.
A few years later, he met a third door that read: "to change yourself. '
The prince thought: I will bring their own personality to become more perfect. So, he will do so.
Later, the prince saw the Buddha Sakyamuni, the Buddha, he said: "I've been three doors of my life on the road, and also see the writing on the door revealed I know how to change the world and its better to change the world. people; their go to change others, it is better to change myself. "
Buddha listened and smiled and said: "Maybe you should go back, go back to a closer look at the three doors."
Prince skeptical to go back.
Far, he saw a third door, but not the same, and when he came, from the direction of the point of view in the past, he saw the writing on the door "accept yourself". Prince understood that his change yourself, why always in remorse and anguish: because he refused to acknowledge and accept their own shortcomings, so he always look at the things he can not do, while ignoring their own strengths. So he began to learn to appreciate yourself, accept yourself.
Prince continue to go back, he saw the writing is on the second door to accept others. Then he understand why he always disgruntled, complaining: because he refused to accept the difference of others and their own existence, always reluctant to understand and appreciate the difficulties of others. So he began to learn to forgive others.
Prince went on to go back. He saw written on the first door is "accepted world. Prince, too, that he again and again failed to change the world why: because he refused to admit that there are many things in the world is the human can not and he always a difficult one to control others, while ignoring the things they can do a better job.
So he began to learn to embrace the world with a broad heart.
At this time, the Sakyamuni Buddha have been waiting there, he said to the prince: "I think you already know what is harmony and calm."
Three of the doors of the story tells us: life, should learn to recognize their own strengths and weaknesses in life, and constantly improve themselves, to do a noble person; treat even magnanimous mind others to put themselves in others shoes everywhere and people become attached to instead of grudges. So that we can live in harmony with others, in order to become a truly useful to society. ~ ~ ~ Turn ~ ~ ~
