Bodhisattvas fear causes, while sentient beings fear results. Not seeking rewards is a moral statement, fundamentally pursuing the immediacy, irreversibility, and causality of one's actions. This is what is meant by "those who build well do not uproot, and those who embrace well do not let go." Why not seek rewards? Before an action, the immediate motivation of the action itself allows one to complete it; after the action, the reward has already occurred immediately after the specific action is completed, and no one can change the action, only the result. So it is not about not seeking rewards, but rather that rewards do not need to be sought; the action itself is the reward. From a moral standpoint, not seeking rewards is simpler and safer. For example, this is how to treat friends. A person is an individualist ( https://telegra.ph/individualism-01-21-3 ), while friends are the objective outside the individual. The individual and friends exist in two different worlds. Friends often imply care, friendliness, warmth, understanding... but friends were originally strangers. There is no banquet that does not end; friends can also become distant and unfamiliar. This is what is meant by, "When the world knows beauty as beauty, this is evil." Many people claim to have friends, but in reality, they do not. Because the loneliness represented by individualism is inescapable. Just like stars, although they attract each other, they cannot touch; once they meet, it means destruction. Therefore, when talking with friends, one should be more "not seeking rewards." Let one's goals be satisfied in the moment of action; when flowers bloom, they should be picked immediately, do not wait until there are no flowers to pick the branches. #Friends
