精神的に大人か子供か、○○を見ればわかる【ブッダの教え】

A husband is called "danna" (master), but why did this word come to be used to refer to a husband? In fact, it originally comes from Buddhism. "Danna" and "danna" mean "dana." "Dana" refers to giving money and other possessions to others, or preaching about their happiness, and is counted as one of the six good deeds (six perfections) taught in Buddhism. In ancient India, it was called "dana," which means "to give." In India, the Buddha advised people to "do dana" (give happiness to others). "Dana" was translated into Chinese by the Chinese as "dana." The reason we call husbands "danna" comes from this "dana" because a husband is a "giver" who supports his family and protects his wife and children. Mr. A, in his 40s, said, "Lately, I often think back to what my father was like when I was in middle school and high school." "Maybe it's because I'm getting closer to the age my father was back then. I have a son in middle school, just like I was back then." The image of his father back then was of him coming home around 9 or 10 p.m., watching TV in the living room, and looking grumpy. Ms. A never liked that kind of father. As soon as his father came home, the living room would instantly become an uncomfortable space, and the children's family time in the living room would come to an end. While their father was getting changed, Mr. A and his siblings would quickly head to their rooms. Then, one day, the family went to a family restaurant. It seemed that his father happened to meet someone from work, and he seemed like a completely different person from when he was at home. He approached the person with a smile on his face and began chatting with them, laughing out loud. "My taciturn father who barely answers questions?!" The scene was a shock to A, and it seems the same was true for the whole family, who just stared at him in shock. "He's so sulky at home, but what's with him outside, all smiles and bows his head repeatedly," A thought, and his father began to seem even more like a small-minded, down-to-earth person. Since then, A disliked his father even more. A has now entered the workforce, taken a job in sales, gotten married, and has a child in junior high school, but now he finds himself remembering the image of his father back then. A is currently desperately trying to improve his sales performance, visiting clients and entertaining them every day, and wearing himself out both physically and mentally to meet monthly sales quotas. His sales performance is displayed as a bar graph and he is constantly being scolded, and if his performance is poor it will affect his salary and he may even be laid off. If that were to happen, he wouldn't be able to support his wife and children, so he pushes himself to work despite his exhaustion. At the end of the day, he's exhausted both mentally and physically, and when he gets home and finds himself daydreaming while watching TV, he realizes, "Oh, just like my father back then." "I realized my father was exhausted, too. Now I understand how he felt when he approached me with a polite smile at the family restaurant. He was desperately trying to support his family," he says, feeling a surge of gratitude and realizing that it's his turn to support them. Perhaps it's this image of the head of the family working hard under the heavy responsibility of supporting his wife and children that has led people to call him "husband" (giver). ----------------------------------------------------------------- Click here for the 20-part free email course. ----------------------------------------------------------------- https://peraichi.com/landing_pages/vi... ↑ This free email course reveals the answer to the Buddhist teachings about the "meaning of life."
