有一位禪師非常喜愛蘭花，在平日弘法講經之餘，心費了許多的時間栽種蘭花。有一天，他要外出雲遊一段時間，臨行前交待弟子：要好好照顧寺里的蘭花。
在這段期間，弟子們總是細心照顧蘭花，但有一天在澆水時卻不小心將蘭花架碰倒了，所有的蘭花盆都失碎了，蘭花散了滿地。弟子們都因此非常恐慌，打算等師父回來后，向師父賠罪領罰。
禪師回來了，聞知此事，便召集弟子們，不但沒有責怪，反而說道：“我種蘭花，一來是希望用來供佛，二來也是為了美化寺里環境，不是為了生氣而種蘭花的。”
禪師說得好：“不是為了生氣而種蘭花的。”而禪師之所以看得開，是因為他雖然喜歡蘭花，但心中卻無蘭花這個掛礙。因此，蘭花的得失，並不影響他心中的喜怒。
在日常生活中，我們牽挂得太多，我們太在意得失，所以我們的情緒起伏，我們不快樂。在生氣之際，我們如能多想想：“我不是為了生氣而工作的。”“我不是為了生氣而教書的。”“我不是為了生氣而交朋友的。”
記住一句話：生氣是用別人的過錯懲罰自己。不值得。朋友們：願你們永遠保持一顆年輕快樂的心境。
