"Of　course，you　!"

The　old　woman　did　what　she's　bee's　a　sunry　to　think　aber　daughter，　about　how　she　　sell　her　rioodles　well。When　it　rains，she'll　think　about　the　elder　daughter，about　how　well　the　umbrellas　would　also　sell。Whehinks　about　things　this　way，she　started　smiling　everyday。As　a　result，she　turhe　an　to　a　smiling　>

Do　you　y　life?And　if　you　do，Prajna　will　help　you　get　there。

A　mind　with　Prajna　would　be　one　who　is　much　more　pure，　and　also　muart　a。

A　mihis　would　always　see　the　world，as　something　that　is　true　aiful。And　a　mihis　would　e　any　lahoughts　that　are　impure。

Whenever　a　mihinks　of　his　parents，he'll　be　grateful　of　how　his　parents　and　family　have　taken　。　And　whenever　his　mind　thinks　about　his　try，he　would　also　be　grateful　for　his　try　f　him　such　a　good　living　e。Also　when　his　mind　thinks　about　his　schanizations　which　he　belongs　to，he　would　also　be　grateful　for　all　the　help　and　assista　people　of　this　group　have　given　him。Therefore　　he　thinks　of，he's　always　grateful　for　the　things　that　have　beeo　him，and　by　doing　so，how　ot　be　happy?

&heless，there's　only　still　a　very　small　amount　of　people　who　are　able　to　live　a　life　with　the　mind　of　Prajhey　ot　do　this，they　teher　option，which　is　to　see　this　world　with　a　sense　of　humor。

&er　Zhao　Zhou，a　very　famous　Zen　Master　from　a，was　known　to　be　a　very　well-prak。One　day，a　devotee　asked　him，"Master，for　someoiced　as　you　are，which　pure　land　or　Buddha　land　do　you　wish　to　be　reborn　in　when　you　pass　away?"

&er　Zhao　Zhou　replied，"Do　you　really　want　to　ko　go　iure?Ok，I'll　be　hoh　you。　When　I　pass　away，I'm　actually　goi;

"But　Master，you　are　a　very　well-pra　Master!　How　d　up　i;

&er　replied，"If　I　don't　go　to　hell，who's　goio　help　you　iure?"

&　may　souic，but　if　you　look　deeper　into　his　words　you'll　see　that　he's　actually　displaying　a　very　high　quality　of　Prajna。

In　my　mind，Prajna　not　os　our　character，but　it　　also　be　represented　in　a　form　y。

&hing　in　this　world　has　its　own　fun。

I'll　take　this　mie　as　ahis　is　a　mie　ood　quality，it'll　probably　cost　about　10，000　U。S。dollars。But　if　it's　of　a　lesser　quality，you　　probably　purchase　it　at　about　three　to　five　hundred。

We　ple　assessment　of　ourselves　and　ask　ourselves　how　much　are　my　qualities　worth?

For　some　people，they　have　the　capability　to　deal　with　being　important　or　not　important。

&her　take　on　a　high　position　or　remain　low。

&her　have　or　hings。

&her　be　upfront　or　stay　behind。

&her　　early　or　stay　up　late。

They　　cope　with　huhey　　cope　with　being　very　full。

They　ything。

For　someohis，his　quality　would，of　course，be　extremely　great。

Some　people　　cope　with　being　busy。But　they　have　trouble　takiheir　free　times。But　for　some　people　they　prefer　to　be　free　rather　than　to　be　busy。Oher　hand，some　people　ly　cope　with　being　full　but　they　ot　stand　hunger。People　like　this　will，of　course，have　their　different　qualities。

&o　try　t　our　quality　and　fun　of　our　life　into　full　play，we　o　discover　the　characteristic　or　the　energy　of　Prajna　within　ourselves。

&here　was　a　man　who　io　celebrate　his　sixtieth　birthday　invited　a　Buddhist　monk　to　e　and　　as　a　sign　of　blessing。

This　Buddhist　moing。As　a　part　of　his　g，he　said　the　followihe　bodhisattvas　from　places　far　away。May　you　an　a　him　and　bless　him。

The　man　asked　him，"Master，why　bodhisattva　from　far　way?Why　don't　you　itvas　from　nearby　pla't　they　better?"

The　monk　replied，I'm　just　worried　that　the　bodhisattvas　from　nearby　are　aware　of　the　bad　things　you've　dohey　are　aware　of　how　immoral　and　unkind　you　are。So　if　I　io　help　you，they　would　probably　refuse　to　do　so。Therefore　I　ly　itvas　from　fara　nothing　about　you　to　e　and　bless　you。

Therefore　ish　to　solve　our　problems，we　ot　rely　oo　e　and　help　us，io　discover　this　Prajna　within　us　io　u　e　intrinsically　have。

&her　maing　his　sixtieth　birthday，i　master　to　e　and　t。He　said，"Please　e　and　do　g　for　me　as　a　rolo;

&er　asked　him，"You　are　already　sixty。Are　you　still　not　satisfied　with　your　life?How　long　do　you　wish　to　live　uy　years　old　good　enough　for　you?"

"Eighty　years　old　is　a　good　idea。"

&er　said　on，"If　you　think　80　years　is　not　enough。How　about　100　years?"

"Do　you　think　you　　live　100　years?"

"I　thiimes　120　is　also　possible!"
