Buddhist Philosophy in Economics Episode 10 -B

He knows his own needs because he knows when he has nothing, he knows when he is hungry when he is short of food, he knows that money is earned with difficulty. Another old saying goes, “People and money, giants and meat.” This person’s desires can even consume a giant. That’s why he says, “Don’t spend according to your desires,” especially for young people who are spending their parents’ money. Because if our lives are not as comfortable as theirs, in line with modern consumer goods that are produced to appeal to people’s emotions, and we spend according to our desires, it is clear that it is delicious for a moment, it satisfies our emotions for a moment, it is delicious for a moment, and then tomorrow or the day after tomorrow we have nothing to eat, or even if we have food, we eat it to the last drop. Sometimes there are urgent matters, such as illness, or other problems. How can we solve them without using money? So the same saying goes, “Don’t spend according to your desires.”
The phrase “Don’t want to follow only one person”
Whatever you want, whether it is positive or negative, wanting to follow only one person is risky. If you want to learn from this and that, you need to look at how many subjects you can divide into a day. If you want a good phone or a new motorcycle, you need to look at your parents' income. If you want to celebrate without regrets, you need to look at your financial strength. If you want anything, you need to think about the results of your desires: how are they like us or different from us? Their abilities are our abilities, their livelihoods are our livelihoods, their family income is our family income, their time is our time, their results are different and similar. So decide, "Don't just follow them." The phrase "Don't follow them"
They say, they tell you, they tease you, they provoke you, or they curse you. Every word they say, even if it is with good intentions, must go through your mind. Which words should be considered? Which words should be discarded? But not immediately. Which words should be followed? The ancient proverb says, "Jrei loam sra lao, tra vloam beong." Some words are said beautifully, but with bad intentions, they say by tempting you, or by tricking you (popular wisdom). Especially people with this logic are skilled at telling lies. Even though we are people with weak ears (some call us white ears), we always believe what others say, and sometimes we don't follow what others say (intellectual weakness). They lead us to the left and right, and as a result, we become their pawns, becoming a pawn in making profits for them. This result is not good, my friend, so "don't follow what others say."
The phrase "Don't brag about being rich"
What if you brag about being rich? The meaning is like the first phrase. The rich are bragging and they are whistling, they are singing because they have big jobs. They have a lot of money that can support their lives. Some of you are still spending money from your parents (poor parents), while others have jobs and careers, but they are barely enough to support their lives. If you can't control your desires and still want to follow the rich, when you are in trouble and hungry, you will face no one to help you. The ancient proverb says, "The mosquito, seeing an elephant, will try to follow the elephant." A small body and small buttocks, who don't know how to be proud, want to follow the elephant, but will only lose his life. Oh!

Proverbs and proverbs:
1, Don't spend according to your desires... (Hak Sienghai)
2, People and money, giants and meat (ancient)
3, The beautiful and beautiful, the beautiful and beautiful (ancient)
4, Seeing an elephant, don't try to follow the elephant (ancient)
Analysis and interpretation: Khmer proverbs and poems
Let's all read the following stories to educate our children:
Fairy tales
The story of the ant and the ant

This story has an ending in French. There was a lazy bird, who, during the rainy season, flew around singing and playing as he pleased, not worrying about finding food for himself. There was a group of ants, who were greedy creatures, who brought rice and stored it in their nests, fearing that poverty would come. When the rainy season arrived, the bird could not find any food to eat. It was very hungry, so it flew to borrow rice from the ants. It said, "My dear, my dear, I have nothing to depend on. Because the rains are very heavy this month, I will not be able to find food. I have come here to ask for a loan of rice, my dear. Until the dry season comes, I will repay you. Please have mercy and pity on me, and help me get out of this poverty, my dear." When the ant heard this, it asked, “Why didn’t you find food for yourself at the beginning of the year, in the month of Brang Rang? What were you so worried about?” The ant replied, “My dear! We have no work to do. We are so busy flying around in the forest, singing and playing as we please, that we have no food to eat.” The ant said, “Yes, how did you sing in the past? Now, you should find some songs to play and sing and dance. We must sing and dance without stopping. This singing and dancing game is for your livelihood. Please sing and dance, I will listen.” The ant replied, “Oh! My dear, you are almost starving to death. How can you go and dance? Please share some rice with us.” The ant replied, "We have some rice, but we have enough for our relatives and relatives to eat. We cannot give it to the poor. We have to go and borrow it from others." Hearing the ant's words, the ant flew away from there towards the abode of the self. He suffered from hunger and was unable to find food. He tried to live in a state of hunger. Listen to this story. How can it be compared to wisdom? Go ahead. The student replied, "Please tell me this story to a lazy person who does business with others. When the season for farming comes, he does not work with them, and the season ends. Thus, poverty and hardship also befall that person. Because of the power of gambling, he no longer thinks about doing business and will go and borrow money from others. Whoever wants to borrow, he also takes care of himself. He also endures suffering according to his karma. Just as the ant borrows rice but does not lend it to others, so he does not lend it to others.

(Song, Verse 7)

On the green grass, under the bright sunlight
A group of ants work hard to find food to store.
Eagerly pulling and pulling, trying to crawl,
Finding food to store in the barn, saving for the rainy season.
Even though it is hot and difficult, the ants endure, trying to bring food
Preparing to cook for the family
