My wife's father, who is also my father-in-law, has a sarcoma on his foot, and it has been growing for a long time before, until last night my wife told me that he had a dream, a snake bit his father-in-law's foot, and my wife told me this dream, and I asked my wife if my father-in-law had eaten snake meat and beaten snakes, and my wife replied yes, so all diseases have cause and effect, and my father-in-law ate snakes because of beating snakes, and this snake took revenge after death, and the spirit of the snake bit my father-in-law's foot and attached it to my father-in-law's foot. It also happened that my wife was studying Buddhism, and the snake told my wife in a dream the reason for the sarcoma on his father's feet, so we must understand that killing and eating meat is to repay debts, and we must quit killing and eating vegetarian food and repent of our sins.

The legend of the high monk recorded that the tenth high monk Wuda Guoshi had a human face sore on his knee, and his unjust creditor (Chao Cuo of the Han Dynasty) chased him for the tenth life.

The facial sores on the knee of the enlightened national teacher were only clarified when Venerable Kanoga treated him for the sores. He, the creditor of the enemy, pursued him for ten lifetimes, and reincarnated one life after another to avenge this life. When did the two of them form a feud in their previous lives? When Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Wu Chu rebelled, and the emperor used the strategy of Yuan Ang (the predecessor of Wuda Guoshi) to punish Chao Cuo, who was framed and died, hated in his heart, and wanted to take revenge. How do you know that Yuan Ang became a monk after that, with the blessing of the protector god, he has morality in all his life and life, and he practices seriously.

When he was in the tenth life, he became a national teacher, that is, the national teacher of Wuda, the teacher of the emperor. The emperor offered him a Shenxiang throne, and we know that a pound of Shenxiang is now hundreds of thousands! When he accepted the Shenxiang throne, he was arrogant and felt that he was very remarkable. This point of arrogance is a lifetime, and the merits of the ten lifetimes of cultivation are lost. With arrogance and self-righteousness, the Dharma Protector is gone, and the unjust creditor comes in. You see that the retribution is endless, with so many generations. That hatred is very deep, it has become a facial sore, and in the body of the enlightened national teacher, it is very terrifying, and no doctor can see it well, and it almost killed him.

Later it was the Buddha's disciple, the Venerable Ganokya, who was an arhat who saved him.

His Holiness Ganoga lived in Sichuan, the ashram of the arhats, on the mainland. We ordinary people go to see a barren mountain, a mountain, and some trees on the mountain can't be seen. He was the Venerable Kanoga who had a relationship with him in the past, and knew that he was in trouble at this time, so he changed into a beggar with sores on his body, and there were many flies on his body, which was smelly and ugly. The person who suffered the sores deliberately walked on the road to let the Wuda National Teacher see that he had not yet become a national teacher at that time, he was a monk and cultivator, and his fame was not so great. However, when the enlightened national teacher saw this, he felt pity and went to take care of him and help him cure this disease. There was pus in the sore, and he sucked it out with his mouth, and he took care of it like that, which no one else can do, this kind of care, so this is an arhat who tested him.

When the arhat was almost cured, he told him, "You will have great calamities in the future, and when there is great calamity, you come to me, I live in a mountain in Sichuan, and there are two pine trees on that mountain, and you can go to that pine tree and shake it and call my name, and you will see me."

Then he remembered that there was such a person in the past, I had saved him, and he told me that I was looking for him when I was in trouble. So he went to Sichuan, and according to the place he had told, there were two pine trees, and he shook the pine trees and called out the name of Ganoka, and when he called out, the ashram appeared, and he realized that the person was an arhat.

Ganoka washed and healed his human face with compassionate samadhi water. Therefore, the "Confession of Compassion Samadhi" has been handed down from here, and it is such a source to eliminate disasters.

Karma accompanies everyone in this world, but the manifestations are different, recently I saw several terrifying examples of karma for facial sores on the Internet, and I have sorted them out to wake up readers.

1. A female layman in Singapore has a human face sore, and the mouth of the human face sores can not only eat things, but also speak, you can Baidu on your own, which is more terrifying.

2. The real case of modern Taichung Jiang Cuishang monk suffering from "human face sores" (taken from the Lotus Pond Haihui - Si Guizi Lecture)

Let's look at this Miss Jiang Cuisheng, who has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, good facial features, and a good appearance, and is the class flower in the class. It is human nature to love beauty, and girls who do not have the same years as youth. But the Buddhist scriptures say that we have no beginningless karma, and we don't know when it will arise, and when karma appears, such a face becomes such a face -- you can see such a big tumor on the right side of the face (more than ten kilograms), it is from a cancer cell, all the way from the face to the chest. Only then do we know what karma is and what is suffering. I like beautiful girls, and I don't even dare to look at myself when I have this tumor on my face.

One of our senior brothers, when he saw this photo, he was so scared that he cried. I made a vow on the spot: "I will never dare to do bad things again." "I'm afraid that when retribution comes, you can't survive or die.

This young lady's mother took care of her for eighteen years, and she took care of her to the point that her whole body and mind were broken. Her mother said, "She's had all the tempers you can't think of." "Seeing my daughter in such pain, there is no way to help her alleviate it a little. Therefore, those of us who study Buddhism, understand this truth, we really have to be kind to a sick person, and their unreasonable venting and unreasonable behavior is not something they deliberately want to do, but a natural outpouring of their helplessness and suffering, and we have to have an understanding of them based on great compassion and compassion.

She was in pain, from a doctor to a doctor, and she didn't know how to treat it, and if she wanted to die, she wouldn't die immediately. To live, and to live so painfully, living like years. You see she's pulling this tumor on her face, and that mouth can only eat a little liquid with a straw. We realized how blessed it was that we could eat a good bite of food.

Just when the power of medical treatment could not be solved, I met Dr. Guo Huizhen, who is a good knowledge and an oncology specialist. When Dr. Guo and I first visited her, we told her about the most basic principles of Buddhism, "three worlds of cause and effect", "six realms of reincarnation", and the benefits of "reciting Buddha to give birth to the West".

She said: No matter day or night, she saw a boy in front of her, she could see but couldn't touch it, she was very scared, and she didn't dare to tell others. In a dream, a woman scolded her fiercely, "You have killed my son, and you have paid for your life!" She replied to the woman in the dream, "I am a girl in my twenties, and I have not harmed anyone." Just as she was hesitating to speak, the scene of her previous life appeared.

The Buddhist scriptures say that each person's field of eight senses has the seeds of good and bad since the beginning of the eon, when will they appear? Before she appeared, oh, she was wearing a Qing Dynasty costume and was also a girl. really has an emotional dispute with a boy, there is really such a boy, who is unwilling to die because of an emotional dispute with her, and comes to her to settle accounts. The boy's mother was even more unwilling, and she also had to settle accounts with her. This boy's grievance, resentment, has been looking for a long time, and it is parasitic on her face. From a tumor of a few centimeters, a small cancer cell, it has spread to such a big size now, and she, a rival, can still talk to her, saying: "I have been looking for you for a long time, and I finally found it." "You see, only the Dharma can make sense.

We persuaded her to stop complaining, recite the Buddha well, and survive in the Western Elysium, so that this resentment can be resolved. She said to her creditor, "I now know that I owe you in my previous life, and I don't want to repay you anymore, let's recite the Buddha together and seek to be reborn in the Elysian World." Her mother said, "Ever since she started chanting Buddhism, her resentment has gone." She was not used to chanting Buddha at first, and sometimes when she dozed off, her complainant would wake her up and say, "Why don't you hurry up and chant Buddha." Obviously, when she recites the Buddha again, the other party's resentment will disappear, and she will also benefit.

Master Yinguang also mentioned it in his banknotes, saying: "Sick people, you should recite the Buddha well, the wrongdoer originally wanted to harm you and toss you, you recite the Buddha, he will also benefit, he will have a grateful heart, he knows that he can no longer pester you, so that he can resolve the injustice, and the illness will be cured." "The patriarch's note is very, very clear.

Looking at it again, her reciting Buddha with such a big tumor is different from reciting Buddha when we are good. Sometimes we always have a mouthless, a leisurely and loose reading, not cordial, not tight. She is burned to the eyebrows, and she will "take illness as pleasure and suffering as a teacher". "Illness" is the medicine for her cultivation, and "suffering" is a good teacher for her cultivation. Oh, she worked hard like this, and succeeded in three years.

Her mother said, "The bird of Elysium flew into the house and said 'Amitabha!' to her and me, and called her name, Jiang Cuishang, Amitabha, Jiang Cuishang, Amitabha, Amitabha, ....... She and her mother were touched.

Three months before she died, we gave her this Buddha statue, which was originally hung on the wall, and the Buddha came out of the wall, stood in front of her, and gave her light, and she thought, "Maybe I'm going to die." I kept chanting the Buddha and kept chanting the Buddha, and then I had a thought, "How can it be so long, is it true?" When she told us about this, I said, "Are you doubting what is true or false, and where is the Buddha?" The Buddha's Dharma body is all empty and all over the Dharma realm, and we can't feel it; the Buddha's reincarnation is what we are reciting: "Amitabha Buddha's body is golden, and his appearance is good and bright, and his white eyes are like turning into five Sumeru, and his eyes are clear about the four seas." "Even if we stand on the hair of a Buddha, we can't feel the Buddha. If a Buddha wants to save sentient beings, he uses this incarnation. Whether it's a clay sculpture, a wood carving, or a paper print, you can respect and worship him as a real Buddha, just like the merits of worshipping a real Buddha.

Three days before she died, she knew that the time would come, so she contacted Lianyou to help her thoughts, and she passed away peacefully in the help of her thoughts.

Her two younger brothers did not study Buddhism, and when they came back to help their mother deal with her sister's funeral, Ruixiang showed her brother to see. Her younger brother was outside her sister's door, separated by a wall, and chanted Buddha with everyone, and all of a sudden, the whole wall was gone, and there was a light, and there were two rows of monks standing inside, chanting Buddha with their palms together to send his sister to death. Actually, there wasn't a single Dharma Master in it, they were all us lotus friends and lay people. She was only thirty-nine years old, and after she died, she burned nearly a thousand relics.

This recitation of the Dharma is the three roots of the universal quilt, the blunt and all the collection, "the Buddha's door, do not give up one person", "five reverses and ten evils" a thought back to the light, the Buddha will not give up.

If you think about it, her karma can be dissolved with the power of the Buddha, and we can also use the power of the Buddha to eliminate the karma.

When taking this photo, this Jiang monk hoped that all those who knew about her would make a vow to repent of their karma and recite the Buddha's rebirth. It is really "it is better to settle the grievances than to settle them", it is necessary to resolve them, and do not settle the grievances again. Therefore, at the end of her wish, we will all join our palms together and repent, I will read a sentence, and everyone will follow along:

(1) All the negative karma created in the past was caused by greed and ignorance without a beginning

Born from the body, speech, and mind, I now seek repentance in front of the Buddha

(2) All the negative karma created in the past was caused by greed and ignorance without a beginning

Born from body, speech, and mind, all sins and karma are repented

(3) All the negative karma created in the past was caused by beginningless greed and ignorance

From body, speech, and mind, all sins are repented

From such a painful manifestation of Jiang Cuisheng, we also receive enlightenment that it is very important to encounter good knowledge. It was because she met Dr. Guo Huizhen who gave her a lecture on Buddhism and persuaded her to recite Buddhism and seek to be reborn in the West, so she received such a special reward.

Dr. Guo is an oncologist, she herself has a tumor, and she has less than half a year to live, so she follows the Buddhist scriptures, let go of all fate, and devote herself to reciting Buddha, and now she is still reciting Buddha for more than ten years. Several of her books, "Studying Medicine and Buddhism", "Listening to the Singing of the Ganges", "Fragrance of the Lotus", "Pilgrimage Journey", "Painting the Cause of the Buddha", in our Lotus Society, did not open the door to raise a dollar from others, everyone was moved to automatically come to help print, at least nearly two million copies, this is in recent years, a sensation at home and abroad to attract everyone to learn Buddhism books.

People get sick, and she talks about the real things of sick people to influence people, and we also dedicate this merit to Dr. Guo Huizhen. She has already become a monk, and she is called the Taoist Master, may she eliminate karma, increase her blessings, and live in peace. I also hope that through this deed, you can truly believe in the truth of the Buddha's "three lifetimes of cause and effect", and come to the Buddha to resolve our injustices of many lives and many calamities, and to die peacefully and comfortably in the Elysian World, which is the ultimate path to happiness from suffering.

The deeds of the Buddha who recited the Buddha's past life give us a hint, and the "Huayan Sutra" records that if the karma created by our sentient beings without a beginning has a physical appearance, it cannot be filled with the void and the Dharma realm.

Houxue remembers that when he first went to see Jiang Jushi, he was very moved. When he came back, he said, "The Buddha and Bodhisattva are such compassionate, the so-called 'Bodhisattva fears the cause, and all sentient beings fear the effect', and the Buddha and Bodhisattva are afraid that we will create karma in the vast expanse, and when the retribution appears, they will cry out to the heavens and the earth over there, wailing and suffering." When you see the appearance of Jiang Jushi, you will feel that the Buddha and Bodhisattva can show a pure and solemn appearance to save sentient beings, so that sentient beings can like and get close, and also appear like this, like the appearance of the three evil realms, to wake up our dream people!"

She also gave us a warning, it is true that the Buddha's "three lifetimes of cause and effect, six realms of reincarnation" is indeed true, and it is not that the Buddha is over there for fear that we will do evil, and make up stories to scare us. The Buddha and Bodhisattva are "the one who speaks the truth, the one who speaks the truth", and he really tells us the truth of life in the universe clearly after becoming a Buddha.

Moreover, in the deeds of Jiang Jushi's death, we also realize the compassion of reciting Buddhism. Jiang Jushi has already come to the door with a creditor, and he has been tossed like this, and he can still find a glimmer of life in this helpless situation, and there is still a way to go.

Hou Xue helped her prepare a shroud, gave her a set of Luohan shirts to give to her, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't measure your figure, I don't know if this shroud fits or not." "You know what she said?" "It doesn't matter if it fits or not, it's going to die, and this stinky skin is going to burn off." "That's a great way to put it.

The reason why we sentient beings are not liberated is that we have dharma attachment and self-grasping, especially to our own bodies, which are extremely attached. Therefore, when we study Buddhism, we must clearly recognize that we are cultivating the truth through falsehood. Otherwise, just like the Buddhist scriptures say, there is a woman who cherishes her body very much, dresses up and puts on makeup every day, and is very beautiful, but when her life comes, she will also die. Her body has become a stinky skin, and she is still reluctant to give up, so she turns into a worm, and she has been surrounding her face, and she can't give up.

If we pay attention to it, we can see how many people have been buried for many years after they have died, and they also dream to their children and grandchildren: "My house is broken," and the children and grandchildren are inexplicable, what house is broken, and when we go to his cemetery, we know that his grave is broken. That's what the scriptures say, "ghouls."

As a student of Buddhism, we must be able to follow the teachings and turn the preciousness of the Dharma into our thoughts and actions, and do it well.

We are very grateful to Ms. Jiang Cuisheng, such a painful manifestation, she is so sick that she can't eat anything, she can't drink anything, in order to maintain her life, she just simply eats a little bit of liquid, and her whole body is as thin as a tree. After her death, their female companion helped her change her clothes, and her whole body was as thin as a dry tree, and all the little nutrients in her body were absorbed by her tumor. In her past life, in addition to the good roots of her own life, she also benefited from encountering good knowledge and touching the Dharma.

Therefore, the Buddhist scriptures say: "Before becoming a Buddha, first become a Buddha." "Our life is short for decades, we don't have to worry too much, and the ancients also vowed to learn to suffer. When we get married, the world says that we will meet the nobles, and when you are at a critical juncture, naturally, the power of the nobles will appear.
