Teamwork is great. A team needs people with different competencies and merits.

Some people treat others gently all the time, giving others convenience. When they face difficulties, there would always be someone to help them out. They could make the people who are tough to deal with very patient when dealing with them, just by being simple, without a scheming mind.

Some people say, “It’s not fair! Why do different people get different treatment?”

I reply: “Unfair results stem from unfair causes. If we only look at the result and not the causes, our mind would naturally feel the situation is unfair. When we switch our mind and expand the time and space of our mind’s eyes to cover cause and effect, then everyone and everything we see and meet will be clear and reasonable. It’s because everything has its own causes and conditions. When we understand this, it would be easier for us to endure and accept the differences of favourable and unfavourable turns in life between people.

Understanding the auspiciousness of “past wholesome merits”, travellers who wish to gain support from meritorious people in their path ahead should cherish the present opportunities to accumulate merits and wholesome causes. No matter what, they would not regard performing wholesome acts to be troublesome.
