Thedouble-headed bird

There isa Buddhist story about a double-headed bird. The two heads compete against eachother for fruit. One head deliberately gives the poisonous fruit to the other, andboth heads die.

In fact,the same is true of a society. Everyone coexists with others. To harm others isto harm oneself. To be the best is to compete with oneself, not with others.

If you harborthe notion of competition anywhere you go and all the time, then you won’t haveany friends. People around you are all but opponents, pressing against you fromthe opposite side.

Enlarge yourheart a little bit to hold your own success as well as others’ achievements.Multitudes of people live on the earth, coexisting and interconnected. “I” amnot alone.

双头鸟

佛教中有一个双头鸟的故事，两个头彼此争夺果实，一个头故意把毒果给另一个头吃，

结果两个头都死了。

其实一个社会也是如此，人人都是相依共存的，伤害别人就是伤害自己。做到最好，是要自己跟自己比，不是跟别人比。

如果随时随地心存竞争之念，周围的人就都成为了对手、对立面，就没有朋友了。

把心放大一点，不仅装得下自己的成功，也能装得下别人的成绩。

世上有许许多多的人，大家是共处的，彼此相连的，不是只有“我”存在。
