Chapter 245: Don't go mad

"Ao, the eldest brother of the family, I understand, what you are talking about is those old men and old ladies, full of food and drink, anyway, they have nothing to do, every first or fifteenth day of the new year, at home or in the temple, burn incense or kowtow, or a few people sit together, each holding a scripture in their hands, muttering a scripture, what does it mean, maybe even they don't understand, and then they think they have done something good, waiting for Guanyin Bodhisattva to appear or the Buddha to bless them, The eldest brother of this family, you are also a high school student, and you can be considered a literate person, think about it, is it possible to be in a situation like that? ”

It can be seen that although the Northeast is usually grinning all day long, it seems that there is no scheming at all, in fact, the observation of some phenomena in society is still full of nuance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Oh, hehehe, what you said is some of the past or can also be said to be just a superficial form of belief in Buddhism, this Buddhism has been spread in our country and even the world for thousands of years, and it is still enduring to this day, and even has a gradually prevailing situation, he naturally has the truth that he can exist, not to mention that it has gone through many generations of reforms, he has now become easy to understand, and I will recite a small poem that can fully reflect the mystery of Buddhism, See if you can understand or understand the reasoning. ”

After the two gangs finished speaking, as if to brew the emotions before the recitation, they took a deep breath, and then recited in a passionate voice, in a subdued voice: "

The heart is good and the life is good, and the wealth is until old age.

If a good life is not good, a blessing becomes a bad omen.

A good heart and a bad life turn into a blessing.

His life is not good, he suffers and dies poorly.

The heart can save lives, and the most important thing is to be benevolent.

Life is made in the heart, and good and evil are only called.

Believing in life and not cultivating the heart, yin and yang are afraid of hypocrisy.

As soon as the mind is cultivated, heaven and earth protect themselves. ”

"Well, can you understand what is being said in it?" After the two gangs finished reciting the verses of "Heart and Destiny", they took a little breath before asking.

"I can understand it, anyway, the reason why we are mixed up with today's dick is because our previous conscience is broken, so I'm not convinced, try to look at today's society, there are more people with bad hearts than a few of us, and their conscience is called to be eaten by dogs, in order to fight for power and profit for personal gain, I almost didn't go to dig people's ancestral graves." That little Shandong may have lost his temper a little bit.

"Hehehe, in fact, your understanding may be a little biased, so I will give you a detailed explanation of the meaning of this little poem:

Master Yinguang, a modern monk, deeply appreciated this poem, tried to write and give it away, and said: "This poem is in the heart of the two meanings, play thoughtfully." If you can follow it, then you will be ordered to do it yourself, and you will seek happiness by yourself, and the right to create will not belong to the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods. ”

Master Xingyun, a contemporary monk, also spoke highly of this poem, exhorting people to cultivate their minds according to it, repent of their sins and obstacles, not to create bad karma, to plant good karma, and to cultivate good fortune. Then our destiny must be bright and flat.

The first eight lines of this poem summarize the relationship between the mind and fate into four different situations. The last eight sentences reveal the truths of "life is created by the heart", "the situation changes with the heart" and "there is no way for good and evil, but people call themselves", and finally points out two attitudes and two results towards this problem.

Let me explain the four different situations of mind and destiny respectively.

First, the heart is good and the life is good, and the wealth is until old age.

This kind of person, in the past life, the good roots and merits are relatively deep, and in this life, the good karma is mature, and he enjoys great wealth and wealth. However, they believe in cause and effect, advocate morality, be honest and honest, reject the corrupt life of arrogance and luxury, and at the same time be willing to give charity, relieve poverty, and sow good causes. Not only is he rich and noble all his life, but his children and grandchildren are prosperous, and his family is prosperous, and even after hundreds of years, he will not decay.

Second, if the good intentions of life are not good, blessings will become bad omens.

Such a person has cultivated good roots and merit in the past life, and enjoys wealth and glory in this life. When they enjoy wealth, they are greedy for the five desires, indulge in enjoyment, and are extremely poor and luxurious; At the same time, he uses power and power to harm others and benefit himself, and creates all kinds of bad karma. Therefore, the greater the wealth, the heavier the negative karma. Once the good fortune is exhausted, the bad karma will appear, not only will you be ruined, but you will even reach your descendants.

Lao Tzu said; "Blessings and misfortunes are relied upon, and misfortunes and blessings are lurking." It shows that evil and blessing are originally dependent on each other, and they can also be transformed into each other. And the key to transformation is oneness. The heart can create a job, and the heart can change jobs. Although fate is very wasteful, if the heart is too bad, then the happy fortune will eventually turn into a tragic encounter.

3. A good heart and a bad life will turn into good fortune.

Such a person has created negative karma in past lives, and in this life the negative karma matures first, and suffers all kinds of evil retribution. However, some people believe in the cause and effect of the three worlds, and can not complain about the heavens, do not care about others, and keep the poor in peace; Some are more able to repent of their karma and do good deeds according to their fate. Once the negative karma is eliminated and the good karma is ripe, if you don't go to Tailai, you will inevitably turn the bad luck of poverty and misery into a beautiful and happy situation.

Fourth, the heart is not good, suffering and poverty.

Such people have created a lot of negative karma in their past lives, but they have not planted good causes. Most of them are stupid in this life and do not believe in cause and effect; Encounter a bad situation, the environment is difficult. But I don't know how to reflect and repent, I always want people to be poor, I hate people to be rich, and I always want to take harmful activities to benefit others and myself, to seek wealth and realize my dreams, and the result is always the opposite, often suffering from misfortune, or lifelong poverty, or short-lived death. Such examples can be found everywhere.

Among the criminals in society, because of the poverty of the environment, some people are lazy and lazy, restless and law-abiding, and do not work hard to make a living, but instead resort to stealing, gambling, robbery, and other means that harm the safety of other people's lives and property and undermine social order, in a vain attempt to change their own fate. ”

The two gangs saw that everyone was listening attentively to their explanations, and continued: "How should we deal with the question of fate?

At present, the average person in the society believes in fate, and some people often tell fortunes, look at faces, ask for signs, ask for divination, and pin their future and future destiny on this, but they do not blame themselves and cultivate their minds; Some people go around temples, hang red cannons, burn incense and worship Buddha, praying for Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to bless them with a third-level official promotion and millions of dollars in their pockets, but they don't want to think about what karma they planted? Is it possible to obtain this kind of retribution?

This kind of person is a person who does not follow the teachings of the Buddha, does not cultivate his heart, does not plant and cultivate from his own heart, but seeks to obtain blessings and a good destiny, which is absolutely impossible.

Those of us who study Buddhism must first of all believe in cause and effect, practice the precepts, purify the body and mind with the three precepts and the five precepts, and benefit sentient beings with the four degrees and six degrees. Finally, it reaches the point where the mind is not in the same situation.

If the fate is not good, you should turn to yourself, repent of the sins of this life or the previous life, change your life with an open mind, and never complain about heaven and others. In this way, the bad karma disappears day by day, the good karma increases day by day, and the underworld is often supported, and the self-can turn misfortune into blessing and obtain auspiciousness.

If the fate is good, you should know that the wealth and glory will become empty in a blink of an eye; Dream bubbles, unbearable nostalgia. In this way, you can deal with it calmly, not be tired of things, let your luck be free, and be comfortable and peaceful.

If you really want to live and die, get out of reincarnation, be born in the Pure Land, and become a Buddha, you must also start from believing in cause and effect, stopping evil and doing good. This is the attitude that a disciple of the Buddha should have towards the issue of fate. ”

"Big brother of this family, it can be seen that you have spent a lot of thought on this during this time, but I can advise you, don't go crazy."

The little northeast looked a little worried and said.
