Being a companion in this life is the front edge, and meeting with a smile and grievances.

Cut off the three thousand troubled threads, and the flowers on the other side bloom and give birth to golden lotus.

Brother Xu Ming drove me home, and when I got home, I had an indescribable feeling of comfort in my heart, which may be the kind power that naturally arises in my heart when I do something to help others.

After a busy day today, I finally got home and could take a good rest, I didn't practice like I did in the past, but lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep. When I slept until midnight, my main consciousness was suddenly bound by an invisible force, and when I tried to break free, my consciousness was pulled out of my body by a strong attraction.

My consciousness body appeared in the chaotic space of the master, and the master stood in front of me, his expression looked a little serious, and he said straight to the point: "Apprentice, you have been a little neglected in cultivation recently, and there are some things to remind you, you have to take caution. ”

I saw Master looking at me so sternly, standing beside Master, not daring to come out, listening to Master's teachings to me.

Master first told me a story from which I could attain enlightenment. The general content of the story is that a long time ago, a rich man went to a restaurant to eat dumplings and only ate the filling, not the skin. A few years later, the family fell into the middle of the road, and the rich son was poor and penniless.

On this day, when he passed by the restaurant, he asked the shopkeeper for a meal, and the shopkeeper saw that the old customer was so unbearable, so he asked him to wait, and later brought a big bowl of hot dumpling soup, and the rich man devoured it, and when the meal was over, he thanked the shopkeeper and asked curiously why he only saw the dumpling skin in the soup and did not see the meat filling?

The shopkeeper told him truthfully, saying that in the past, he only ate the stuffing and did not eat the skin, and he couldn't bear it, and he would dry and collect the dumpling skin after each meal, and now he was just giving it a full stomach. After hearing this, the rich family suddenly realized and regretted it.

Master said, "I am telling you this story today to warn you that no matter what it is, you must cherish it, and you must not waste it at will, because it is all a person's blessing in exchange, and cultivation is to start with small things, and you must do a good job in every detail." ”

Master also told me that there is a certain amount of food a person can eat in his life, and if this amount is reached, you can believe it or not if you finish eating first and leave first, but this is a truth.

Someone in the West once calculated that if a person lived to be about 70 years old, he would eat nearly 50 tons of food. Moderate reduction in diet can resist aging to a certain extent. In fact, nutrient metabolism will accumulate damage to cells, and dietary restrictions can reduce cell damage and delay aging.

This is the principle that is shown in our space, and in another space, there is no doubt that there is a certain amount of food that people eat in their lifetime. The reason why people can be human beings is that they must save enough blessings in their lives to meet the needs of this life, and once the blessings are exhausted, they will reach their birthday, and no one will care about them in the future.

When a person lives for a day, he is consuming good fortune, and what he can eat, wear, and play with is the embodiment of good fortune. Waste and profligacy are also a waste of one's own blessings.

There are celestial beings in the six realms of reincarnation, their space is higher than that of humans, their lifespan is longer than that of humans, hundreds of years to thousands of years, and they have no hardship there, all pleasure, but he will not last long, being able to be born there is the result of the accumulated blessings, and when the blessings are consumed, people have to enter the six realms of reincarnation.

Why can't he last? Even he is consuming his blessings, and when he is gone, he has to leave.

Therefore, the reason in the world is often the opposite, people think that it is a good thing to enjoy blessings, and it is not a good thing to see that you are consuming blessings. So how did this blessing come about?

This blessing occurs when people give, give, and help others, when they endure pain, when they go through tribulations, when they are hurt or scolded. People think it's a bad thing, but it's a good thing in heaven. The old man said that suffering losses is blessings, and this is how they come.

Master continued, "There are four great masterpieces in ancient China, but this "Journey to the West" is a very special work, although it is a mythological story, but it writes about a person's real cultivation process. ”

It is known that the predecessor of Tang Sanzang in Journey to the West was the second disciple of the Buddha in heaven, and he despised Buddhism, dozed off in class, and wasted a grain of rice because of it. Buddhism has a saying: A grain of rice in Buddhism is as big as Mount Meru, and there is no way to do it in this life. As a result, Jin Chanzi was driven out of Lingshan by Rulai, and he was punished for ten lifetimes of cultivation, and he could only return to the West Heaven after going through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties.

There is a folk saying that the rich are not more than three generations, no matter how rich the rich are to rival the country, there is no way to leave the wealth to the descendants, because it follows the original spirit of the people, and the descendants do not have such great blessings, so there is no way to inherit the wealth and forcibly give it to him, then he will soon be defeated.

There are many forms of wasted food, and if you can't eat it and throw it away, these wasted food will be stored in a space in hell to grow moldy and hairy, and when this person dies at the end of his life, he will come here, and he must eat all this food before leaving.

Some people have developed the habit of waste in their lives, and when they come here, they are stunned, and the wasted food is like a hill, emitting a disgusting stench, how can this be swallowed? Therefore, if people waste food in the world, they are also creating karma, and they must also bear the consequences of this.

It is not so simple for a person to be able to cultivate in this life, his blessings are very great, he can have a high level of understanding, and once he cultivates, these blessings will evolve into merit, because a cultivator does not seek happiness in the world, so he will try his best to convert his blessings into merit, and the level of this thing is the only criterion for measuring what kind of fruit a person can cultivate.

Speaking of this, Master said to me earnestly: "You are the person I have chosen, and you are also the heir to my mantle, so many things you carry on your body are very precious, you have to cherish this time of cultivation, you must seriously understand it, understand?" ”

I stood by Master's side in shame, listening to Master's teachings, and regretting my slackness in cultivation during this time.

After Master told me this, he instantly sent my consciousness back to my body, and I woke up from my sleep.

Now I am sitting on the bed and I am completely sleepy, and the words that Master said just now are still echoing in my ears, making me a little more awake, I did not slack off, and immediately meditated cross-legged on the bed and entered a state of cultivation.

This ethereal state lasted for a while, and just when I was in a trance and felt very comfortable, right in front of me meditating, suddenly, as if a vague figure appeared, unable to see his appearance clearly, wearing a black dress, and just stood quietly in front of me without saying a word.

I looked at the person in front of me with some doubts, and asked with my heavenly eyes, "Who are you, why are you standing in front of me, and what do you want to do?" ”

When this person's figure gradually began to solidify, and stood still in front of me for a while, he slowly raised his head, and when I saw the other person's face clearly, oh my God! It really scared me!

What a hideous and terrifying face, faintly blood was still leaching out of the skin on his face, and some of the skin on his face was still falling off, he opened his mouth full of blood, and grinned at me: "Hahaha, you give me my life!" You give me my life! You should return my things to me by then! Aha......"

He tried to get close to me several times, but there was no way, and in the invisible air, there seemed to be an invisible force separating the man from me.

After trying a few times, he found that he was not able to break through the invisible obstacle, so he gave up, so he had to stand in front of me and keep repeating the words just now, constantly doing all kinds of terrible movements, and even unscrewed his head and grabbed it in his hand.

I had to turn on the Heavenly Eye and look at the man's body to see what had happened between us, so that he would be so crazy to come and keep making trouble with me, I looked at him with my heavenly eyes, and through the layers of fog on his body, I came to an ancient scene.

It turned out that during the apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, it was the Ming Dynasty that the party struggled endlessly, and the people continued to suffer disasters, which led to the miserable life of the people at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the frequent outbreak of peasant uprisings.

I saw that I was living outside the Guan, a bandit leader in the mountains and forests, and he was highly skilled in martial arts, often plundering rich merchants in the past, and he also had a team of 180 people under his command.

However, I have only plundered property and never harmed other people's lives, and most of the money I obtained was used to help the poor, so I am also a famous thief in the local area.

With the rapid rise of the Houjin forces, our bandit forces outside the pass were also wiped out by the later Qing army, and I escaped with my martial arts and ran back to the pass.

In order to make a living in the Guannai, I am wandering around, and I have committed countless crimes in the mainland, but I have always grasped the principle that I will never inappropriately harm innocent people and harm people's lives.

On this day, I walked to the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, although now the war is in chaos, but I found that the life of the local officials is still very rich, so I decided to do a big ticket after the gold basin washed my hands, and since then I have retired to the mountains and forests.

But it was precisely because of this decision of mine that this person came to me for revenge today, which I never expected.

It turned out that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, there was a Nanjing man who was an official in the imperial court, and later this official was sent to Changzhou, Jiangsu Province to serve as the prefect outside the imperial court.

After a few years as an official in the imperial court, his family became very wealthy, so he bribed his boss to buy a fatter errand. On his way to his post, the official was on his way into the Yangtze River by boat when he encountered a robber, who, knowing his identity, killed him out of hatred for the government and killed all his entourage.

Originally, the robbers originally just wanted to rob some money, but after seeing this official's official documents and official uniforms, their desire finally overcame everything, and they actually had a whim, planning to go to the official addiction, maybe they could get more benefits.

So, the robbers chose the smartest, most cunning and most educated man among the people, his name was Wang Lun as a fake prefect, and the others pretended to be retinues, and then went to the place where they took office with official documents.

At that time, there were no photos, and there were no advanced fingerprint recognition skills, and no one knew what the real prefect looked like, and the documents and official uniforms were the best evidence, so no one doubted the identity of the fake prefect Wang Lun.

After the fake prefect took office, he did not act like a robber at all. Probably because he is a robber, he is still from a poor family, so the fake prefect has no worries about doing things, cracking down on the strong and punishing bullies, unambiguously, and the means can be said to be vigorous and resolute.

The fake prefect is also very aware of the people's suffering, so he is very sympathetic to the people's feelings, so under his governance, "very honest and dry, there is a good treatment, everyone celebrates the virtuous and guarded", the local people are fortunate to get a good official, and the people love and respect him very much.

After some time, the fake prefect issued an order that made the people feel very strange: the people of Nanjing were forbidden to enter the local territory, and the people were not allowed to receive them.

Soon after the order was given, the son of the slain True Governor came to the area, and after entering the country, the people learned that he was from Nanjing, and no one dared to stay with him.

He inquired many times about the reason, only to learn that the prefect had a ban on accepting people from Nanjing, and he was very puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know what was going on, so he didn't dare to go to see his father rashly.

As a robber in that life, I came to the prefecture and county governed by the fake prefect at this time, and I circled around the government for a few days, and after stepping on it, I was ready to enter the government at night to steal the treasury silver.

In the evening, taking advantage of the cover of night, I flew up to the room with light skills. Looking around, there was no situation, tiptoe to the treasury here, easily opened the door of the treasury, found that there was not much silver taels, and retreated stupidly and wanted to leave, but a little unwilling, so he touched the house in the mansion.

When I arrived at the inner house, I found a room with a light on, and I tiptoed past, and when I clicked through the window paper with the tip of my tongue and looked in, I saw a man in an official uniform drinking alone.

Seeing this, the corners of my mouth went up, and I knew that I had found my target. Gently pushing open the door, the people in the house heard the sound of the door and asked, "Who is outside the door?" "When it was too late, I took out a dagger in my right hand, and with my left hand, I took out the hidden weapon "Moyu Flying Locust Stone" from my arms and shook my hand to hit the door in front of this person, only to hear the sound of "oops", which hit the bridge of the person's nose.

I stepped forward and put the dagger against the man's throat and said, "Don't make a sound, dare to speak out and ask for your life!" I'm just asking for money! "Strong, don't, don't! It's all ligature, what is easy to discuss, no problem with asking for money! The man said with tears in his eyes.

I was also very surprised to hear him say the green forest black words, and when I was stunned, the man turned sideways and lowered his head to dodge, and he was a nest of hearts and feet at me.

I dodged to the side, followed by a bow, the dagger in my right hand from the bottom to the top, I intended to hold the opponent's neck, but I didn't expect to use too much force and did not contain the momentum, the dagger slashed through the man's throat, and I heard the "poof" blood splash, the man covered the bleeding neck, fell to the ground and died on the spot.

I also regretted seeing this, killing people for the first time in my life, but there was no way to do it, so I had to fly to the room and escape at night.

The next day, after the fake prefect was killed, it caused quite a stir in the local area, and when the son of the real prefect was about to bury his father's body, he found that it was not his own father. When I asked someone about the prefect's place of origin and name, they were all exactly the same as my father's.

After the son of the true prefect understood, he immediately reported the matter to the superintendent, who sent troops to arrest the fake prefect and other accomplices, and after interrogation and verification, the gang of robbers was escorted to Nanjing and beheaded for public display.

Only then did the local people know that the former prefect was not the real prefect, but the robber pretended, but the attitude of the people was unexpected, and they did not have a trace of joy, but felt regretful.

It's really ironic, I was originally a robber but became a good official in this area and was loved by the people, and when I knew the reason for this incident, I also regretted my mistake, and shaved my home in a fit of anger.

The resentful spirit standing in front of me today is the fake prefect of the robber Wang Lun I killed in my previous life. Although he was a robber in that life, he did a lot of good things for the people after all, so his soul was reluctant to leave the world for a long time, and he was always looking for me, looking for me to avenge the sword back then.

When I saw this, I also knew the cause and effect of this incident, how many years this resentful spirit had been looking for me in the world, how much time had I wasted staying in the world in vain, and I was lonely in that space without food or drink, and I couldn't help but feel pity in my heart.

Thinking of this, I used my consciousness to send a message to that resentful soul: I already know what I did to you in my previous life, and I actually hurt you by mistake in that life, so what requests do you have to ask to see if I can satisfy you and resolve our grievances.

The resentful soul in front of me also sent me a consciousness, and the general meaning of the reception was: he was unwilling to die back then, although he was a robber, he had already changed his ways, and he wanted to benefit the people, but he didn't want to be killed by you unintentionally, and he died unjustly. Now that I have finally found you, I have found that you have become a cultivator, so I have come to collect my debt from you, although I can't get close to you, I can only stand in front of you like this, but as long as you are practicing, I will appear until you pay off my debt.

I received the content of his message, and I didn't know how to solve it, so I could only look at each other like this.

He still behaved in all sorts of frightening ways, sometimes with his long tongue out and shaking it in front of my eyes, sometimes he would twist his head and show it to me in his hands, and sometimes he would look like he was bleeding from a wound on his neck and was about to pounce on me.

At first, my psychology was afraid and unstable, but slowly I found that as time went by, my fear of him became more and more numb, and no matter what scary actions he made, I could no longer make any waves in my heart.

We were in a stalemate, and I don't know how long it took, but when I finished my meditation state and recovered from the cultivation and opened my eyes, there were still any resentful spirits in front of me, as if none of this had happened.

When I tried to close my eyes again and enter the cultivation state, after a while, the resentful spirit appeared in front of me again, still doing all kinds of frightening movements and actions like just now, as if it was going to pounce on me and ask for my life. When I finished my cultivation again, the resentful spirit in front of me disappeared again.

I finished my practice and sat quietly cross-legged on the bed thinking, when I heard the ticking of the clock in my ears. Is this how the evil spirit collects debts? It seems that the appearance of anything does not exist by chance, there must be a reason behind it!

I got up and stood in front of the window in a daze, feeling the daylight gradually shining outside the window, and my heart was mixed. I thought to myself, I have to ask the master when I have time, and see how this matter can be solved.

In the morning, on the way to school, I walked towards the campus alone with my old school bag on my back, temporarily putting down the ghost in advance.

Now, I am very skilled in the use of the Heavenly Purpose, walking on the street and trying to see a person's physical condition, almost instantly the Heavenly Eye can penetrate that person, and what I want to see can reflect the relevant images in my brain. As my energy grows stronger and my skills improve, I can say that what I want to see will instantly appear in my mind.

Sometimes, I find that most people are in a state called sub-health, and most people's bodies are showing a sick black gas inside or outside, which is not a big problem, but sometimes people are just uncomfortable, but people don't know where there is something wrong with their own body. Now people's material life has improved, but their health is gradually declining.

I thought as I walked, and soon came to school. I met a few classmates in front of the school, and we walked towards the classroom together. I heard one of my classmates say, "Remember to watch the lunar eclipse tonight, the TV says that it starts at 10 o'clock in the evening, and this lunar eclipse is very long, it may last for an hour..."

Listening to the discussion of my classmates, I couldn't help but be curious about the lunar eclipse tonight, thinking to myself, I had never cared about this kind of celestial change before, I had already entered the cultivation, and besides, the moonlight still helped me to a certain extent in the speed of my own exercises, so why don't I also observe this spectacle tonight, and at the same time, I can also feel whether I can speed up the operation of the exercises under the lunar eclipse.

The first class this morning was Chinese, and when the Chinese teacher, Mr. Song Yulong, walked into the classroom in stride, I observed that his hemorrhoids had healed.

Teacher Song was in good spirits today, standing on the podium, he did not rush to open the book to class, but watched us all talk about the "filial piety" in traditional Chinese culture.

I only heard Mr. Song say: "Now your generation lives very happily, look at the parents who send you to school at the gate of our school to know your status in the family, students have never thought about it, our Chinese nation has a very good character, that is, 'filial piety', he is something deep in the bones of each of us, but now some of you are slowly losing him, do not know how to be grateful to your parents, do not know how to respect your parents." ”

The students sitting below were listening to Mr. Song's speech, and some of the students slowly lowered their heads, and Mr. Song continued: "Let me give you an example, it is the story of the first filial piety 'Shun' among the 24 filial pieties in our Chinese history. ”

The classmates listened quietly, Shun was smart and clever since he was a child, and he was loved, but there were unforeseen circumstances, his mother died when he was very young, he and his father depended on each other, and his father was blind for some reason, and he married a stepmother and gave birth to a younger brother Xiang.

Shun's father likes his stepwife's son, and is always very harsh on Shun, and he has to punish him severely if he encounters small mistakes. But Shun has always honored his parents, loved his younger brother, and never slackened off. Shun is very smart, when they want to kill Shun, they can't find him, but when something needs him, he is always waiting by his side.

Once, Shun climbed to the top of the granary and smeared mud, and his stepmother set fire to the granary below, but Shun protected himself with the help of two hats, and jumped off the granary as if he had wings and fled. Later, the stepmother asked Shun to dig a well, and Shun dug a secret passage to other places in the wall of the well in advance. When digging the well to the depths, the stepmother and her younger brother poured soil into the well together and tried to bury Shun alive, but Shun escaped through the secret passage again. They thought that Shun would definitely die, but when they saw that Shun was still alive, they pretended to say, "Where did you run to?" We miss you so much...... "They often try their best to harm Shun, but Shun ignores his past suspicions, and still serves his father, stepmother, and brother as before.

The virtue of Da Shun was widely spread, and King Yao personally went to Zhu Feng to visit Shun after hearing this. I saw Shun ploughing the land in Lishan, and he didn't fight cattle. King Yao asked why? Shun said that the ox pulls the plow, and I hit the plow. Scalpers think I'm fighting black bulls. Black bulls think to hit scalpers. The two oxen will work hard at the same time, which reflects the harmony between man and animal. Yao was very moved, and in the days that followed, Yao tested Shun many times, and Shun passed the test one by one. He married his two daughters to him and gave way to him, and everyone in the world was subordinated to Shun. Shun selected the virtuous and appointed, used the "Eight Kai" and "Eight Yuan" to govern the civil affairs, exiled the "Four Murderers", appointed Yu to govern the water, and completed Yao's unfinished business.

Virtuous through the ages, Shun became the emperor, the first thing he thought of was to go home to meet his parents, so that the confused father and the stepmother knew their mistakes and corrected their mistakes, remade a newcomer, and educated his younger brother with evil elephants. Arrange the work that is within its capacity and make it self-sufficient. There is also a blind place, educating the father to be fair and treat people equally, starting with Shun.

The teacher said this, half of the class has passed, looking at the students who are listening carefully, the teacher smiled and said: "I hope that when you go back, you can respect your parents and do what you can, now we will start the official class!" ”

In this half day, through the story of "filial piety" told by the teacher, the students unconsciously adjusted their learning state to the best. I think this may be the understanding of the profound connotation of traditional culture in the bones of Chinese.
