一个富人问禅师:“我一生忙于赚钱,请问我应该赚多少才停止?”禅师在桌上摆了一个杯子,拿一大壶茶注满杯子。茶水都溢满整张桌子了,禅师还是继续倒,直到把整壶茶都倒光为止。禅师问:“你懂了吗?”富人说:“我不了解这是什么意思?”禅师说:“整壶茶水是你一生所赚的钱,杯子的容量是你一生所需要花的钱,赚超过自己所需要的财富,只会满溢出来,无法留住。 A rich man asked Zen Master: ”I was busy making money in my life, how much should I stop?“ ”Master put a cup on the table and took a big pot of tea to fill the cup. The tea overflows the whole table, and the Zen master continues to pour until the entire pot of tea is turned back. Zen Master Q: “Do you understand?” The rich said: “I do not understand what this means?” Master said: "The whole pot of tea is your lifetime’s money, the capacity of the cup is your life The money you need to earn more than you need will only overflow and you will not be able to keep it.
