前人云 “抛却自家無盡藏 沿門持鉢效貧兒”
又云 “暴富貧兒休說夢 誰家竈裡火無烟?
一箴自味所有 一箴自誇所有 可爲學問切戒 (前 160)
Old man says "Ignoring the vast wealth of one's own house, he pretends to be a beggar in front of other people's houses," and also says. “You, who have become rich by lightning, put an end to your bullshit! Every kitchen in any house smokes when making a fire.” The first is to remind you not to underestimate yourself, and the second to remind you not to exaggerate yourself. The learner should keep in mind.(Book1 160)
There are neither bad nor good in this world. Only has a heart to think so.
