Weekly Dalai Lama Teaching

Knowing one's limitations
If a boss gives more work to do and it is beyond their capacity, then I think they have to say something. They have to say 'This is too much work for me' and talk to the boss and try to reduce it. If that doesn't work, then they may need to look for new work.

"However, at that point let's say that the boss agrees to extra pay, and the employee agrees, then that is a person's decision and there's no cause to complain about overload. But if the boss gives too much work without increase of salary, then this 'over-load' is just exploitation.

无间地狱



佛曰:「受身无间永远不死,寿长乃无间地狱中之大劫。」

无间道(无间地狱)是《法华经》、《俱舍论》、《玄应音义》等佛经里“avicinar aka“的新译,旧译为“阿鼻地狱“,是佛经故事中八大地狱中最苦的一个,也是民间所谓十八层地狱中最抄底的那一层。凡被打入无间地狱(无间道)的,永无解脱希望,要经受五种无间。第一“时无间“,无时无刻不受罪。第二“空无间“,从头到脚都受罪。第三“罪器无间“,各式各样刑具无所不用。第四“平等无间“,用刑不论男女均无照顾。第五“生死无间“,重复死去无数回还得继续用刑。
