Chapter 699: Heaven's Grace

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Many cultivators are actually slandering the immortals with his behavior. ”

Xuan Chu said, "What does Master mean by this? ”

Isn't it just to burn incense and worship God? Is there any shameful behavior to slander the gods?

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "It's a good thing to put incense and release life, just don't go too far, don't be too obsessed." Being too attached to cultivation and increasing merit is a problem in itself. ”

Chu said, "Oh, sometimes think about it, what is the purpose of cultivation? To show that you are superior to others? To show yourself amazing? In order to be a god in the future? Or to give yourself the ability and courage to live well. Of course, there are many people who are very good at cultivating and staying with him, very comfortable, very peaceful, and feel that there is a peaceful energy flowing into your body, and there is a kind of wisdom that breaks through the confusion and enlightenment to illuminate your life. ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Immortals can only give us a way to relieve our suffering, immortals are not superhuman, immortals cannot save us personally, only we can save ourselves by doing what our ancestors have taught us." Measure yourself, go deep into your heart, and use wisdom to resolve all kinds of negative emotions in your heart. Immortals do it by themselves, don't ask for it outside the body. You are your own heart, and the gods are our innate nature. ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "There are more people who need our help, justice will be contagious, and so will evil, and doing good deeds for others now is also for yourself in the future." Convey warmth, refuse indifference! ”

Xuan Chu said: "I heard that there is a couplet in the underworld "The third world in the yang world, it is up to you to hurt the heavens and harm the reason", and the lower Lianyun "Yin Cao Difu, who has let go of the past and present", and the horizontal criticism is "You are here". Is this good and evil really only in the underworld?

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Gu Xunyun: "Accumulate good and afterglow, accumulate evil and aftermath", "Do good to bring good to auspiciousness, and do bad to bring disaster". The ancients believed in cause and effect, and were in awe of the gods of heaven and earth, believing that it was their duty to do good and eliminate evil. However, some people are not good at observing, but they say that the person who does good deeds but does not see good opportunities, and that person who does evil but does not see the good and evil retribution, so they have doubts and doubts about the retribution of good and evil. This is because they don't know that retribution is early and late, and the metaphor of form and shadow means that retribution is inevitable, generally speaking, early retribution is lighter, late retribution is heavier, and everything is in the arrangement of heavenly principles. ”

Zhong Liquan: "If people can understand the cause and effect, think about the word retribution repeatedly, and choose the good to follow, they will naturally avoid evil retribution and get good retribution." Here are a few stories recorded in ancient books......"

Chu said, "What story? ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Tianli conscience, Xu Kechang became rich and blessed his descendants, and it was written in the "Tianli Conscience" in the Ming Dynasty's good book "Drawing and Propaganda Collection": Puru Xu Kechang had no money to celebrate the New Year, and returned with the four-character plaque of "Tianli Conscience" left by his ancestors as four thousand silver. His wife asked where the money came from, and Xu Kechang told the truth. His wife's day: "What is the conscience of heaven, it is so valuable, you say it for me." Xu Kechang explained one by one, and his wife couldn't take it seriously. Xu Kechang took back the plaque, and after the shop owner knew the reason, he thought that Xu Kechang was a loyal person, so he asked him to help the manager. ”

Xu Kechang is a kind person, the store has been prosperous since then, one day suddenly had a dream, dreamed of a piece of paper written: "Heavenly conscience, the world is forgotten, Xu Men is not lost, joy is in the sky, and the gift is open......"

Xu Kechang later opened a store on his own and became very rich. Later, the two sons studied, the eldest son was admitted to the top prize, and the second son was admitted to Hanlin. This story illustrates the importance of maintaining a "natural conscience."

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Continue to do evil, Li Deng will eventually taste evil, according to the "Taishang Induction Illustration" record: Li Deng of the Ming Dynasty was eighteen years old when he was admitted to the Yuan Dynasty, and later Master Ye Jing prayed to the Wenchang Emperor who was in charge of the imperial examination, and the emperor ordered the officials to show the book and said: "When Li Deng was first born, the Jade Emperor gave him a jade seal, so that he could be the emperor at the age of eighteen, the champion at the age of nineteen, and the right prime minister at the age of fifty-two. And after he was released from the Yuan, he privately teased the daughter next door, although the matter did not succeed, he instead sued the father of the neighbor's daughter to prison, because of this reason, his fame was postponed for ten years, and he was demoted to the second class. Later, he filed a lawsuit for encroaching on his brother's house foundation, so his fame was postponed for another ten years and he was demoted to the top three. Later, in the Chang'an Hotel, he raped a woman from a good family, and it was postponed for another ten years. Now there are many evils, and they don't know how to repent, all the officials have been cut off, and the time of death is approaching. "Master Ye Jing told Li Deng about the above situation, and when Li Deng heard this, he was extremely ashamed and remorseful, and died soon after."

Li Deng can be said to be a person who has repeatedly created shackles for himself, if he had remorseed his heart earlier, stopped doing evil in the future, and cultivated virtue to atone for his sins, then he could still make up for it, and his longevity would not have been cut off and wiped out, and he was really obsessed and deeply disappointed by the grace of heaven and earth!

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Good way to promote goodness, Zhu Bailu Hades review, Zhu Bailu, a famous physicist and educator in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, has a good way to promote goodness in his life, stands up for his character, does not deceive a person in his life, does not say a word, "Rise at dawn" This family motto is what he did. The people admired his character very much, and the gods thought that he was an upright person, and he was ordered to judge him several times. ”

Once, Zhu Bailu fell asleep in a hazy mood, saw that many people came to greet him, came to a large yamen, looked back on himself, crowned his robes, and ascended to the seat. At this time, I saw the divine consciousness of a person who was hooked, but it was a villager I originally knew, and I knew that he had worshiped gods and Buddhas and recited scriptures, but later abandoned good and followed evil, created a lot of karma, and had no good deeds to make up, and was destined to be reincarnated into a dog's womb and become an animal according to the law of the underworld.

When Zhu Bailu saw it, he couldn't bear it. Then he asked, "Do you remember the scriptures that you have learned?" If he remembers, it is not clear-hearted, or it can be recovered. The man replied, "I don't remember at all." Then he wrote the word "Buddha" and looked at him, and said, "Do you still recognize this word?" He replied, "I don't know." And he said, "Have you forgotten the scriptures you are reciting?" He replied, "I don't know." He had to call left and right to put a dogskin on him, and saw that the man rolled to the ground, changed into a dog's form, shook his head and waged his tail. I woke up and felt sorry. As soon as the morning came, he called someone to inquire about a certain house, and replied: "He has died of a sudden illness in the middle of the night." "I was amazed at it. Zhu Bailu didn't want to talk about this, so he wanted to make the people around him take it as a warning and avoid falling into reincarnation.

One morning, Zhu Bailu even called someone pitiful, who was also the person he knew. His student asked, "Why do you say that a person who is an official somewhere now, and hears that his place has suffered a famine year, has been starving and has earned some big ingots, and it is when he is proud?" Zhu Bailu said: "It is for this festival that there will be a disaster of extinction soon." The student asked, "Why?" ”

Xuan Chu said: "There is a famine, and he still dares to make money? Obey him, corrupt officials ......"
