  某日,无德禅师正在院子里锄草,迎面走过来三位信徒,向他施礼,说道:“人们都说佛教能够解除人生的痛苦,但我们信佛多年,却并不觉得快乐,这是怎么回事呢?”
  无德禅师放下锄头,安详地看着他们说:“想快乐并不难,首先要弄明白为什么活着。”
  三位信徒你看看我,我看看你,都没料到无德禅师会向他们提出问题。
  过了片刻,甲说:“人总不能死吧!死亡太可怕了,所以人要活着。”
  乙说:“我现在拚命地劳动,就是为了老的时候能够享受到粮食满仓、子孙满堂的生活。”
  丙说:“我可没你那么高的奢望。我必须活着,否则一家老小靠谁养活呢?”
  无德禅师笑着说:’怪不得你们得不到快乐,你们想到的只是死亡、年老、被迫劳动,不是理想、信念和责任。没有理想、信念和责任的生活当然是很疲劳、很累的了。”
  信徒们不以为然地说:“理想、信念和责任,说说倒是很容易,但总不能当饭吃吧!”无德禅师说:“那你们说有了什么才能快乐呢?”
  甲说:“有了名誉,就有一切,就能快乐。”
  乙说:“有了爱情,才有快乐。”
  丙说:“有了金钱,就能快乐。”
  无德禅师说:“那我提个问题:为什么有人有了名誉却很烦恼,有了爱情却很痛苦,有了金钱却很忧虑呢?”信徒们无言以对。
  无德禅师说:“理想、信念和责任并不是空洞的,而是体现在人们每时每刻的生活中。必须改变生活的观念、态度,生活本身才能有所变化。名誉要服务于大众,才有快乐;爱情要奉献于他人,才有意义;金钱要布施于穷人,才有价值,这种生活才是真正快乐的生活。”

@wangjie,
I recognize a number of those "kanji" but I'm sure that the sound and the meaning is different from what I know.

========================

One day, no Jackson is in the yard weeding, the face came three believers, to salute him, said: "People say that Buddhism can relieve the pain of life, but we believed in Buddhism for many years, but do not feel happy, which is how is it?
  no Zen master to lay down their hoes, and quietly watched them said: "think happiness is not difficult, we must first understand why alive."
  three believers you look at me, I see you did not feed to Germany Jackson will ask them questions.
  After a moment, A said: "Man can not go die! Death is terrible, so people want to live."
  B said: "I am hard labor, to the old time be able to enjoy food warehouse full of many children lives. "
  C, said: "I did not expect so high. I must live, otherwise the whole family depend on who to support?"
  no Zen master smiled and said: 'No wonder you are not happy, you think only death forced labor, the elderly, is not ideal, beliefs and responsibilities. No ideals, beliefs and responsibilities of life is of course very tired, very tired.
  Believers and said harshly: "ideals, beliefs and responsibilities, to talk about is actually very easy, but can not eat it!" Jackson said no: "That you have anything to be happy?"
  A: " With the reputation, everything will be able to happy.
  B said: "With love, there to be happy. "
  C, said: "With money, you can joy.   Jackson said no
  no Jackson said: "I ask a question: Why do some people have a reputation of very trouble with love is very painful, with the money is very worried about it?" believers speechless.
: ideals, beliefs and responsibilities is not empty, but is reflected in each and every day life. Must change the concept of life, attitude, life can change. Honor to serve the public, to be happy; love dedication to others, makes sense; money to donate to the poor, only the value of this life is the truly happy life. "
