Chapter 39 The Reason for the Ghost God's Love for the Hidden Scripture of Cao Cao's Seventh Pig's Body
I used to be a sinful person, I did a lot of bad things, I encountered all kinds of bad things in my life, and then I was fortunate enough to hear the Dharma and repent of my sins. My life has undergone major changes, I have become compassionate, tolerant, no matter who scolds me, I will not retaliate, tolerant of all sentient beings, I am not angry with anyone, I am dedicated to studying Buddhism, I understand the principle of cause and effect, I often say to others: we have been reincarnated many times, and the sentient beings who have been hurt by us will become our unjust creditors for many lifetimes to seek revenge on you, such as letting you get into a car accident, making you seriously ill, and so on.
10% of people have physiological diseases, such as improper diet, poor clothing, colds, etc., these minor diseases as long as you take medicine, see a doctor, see a doctor will be fine, there are 90% It is a causal disease that the hospital does not see well, often some terminal diseases, in fact, these are unjust creditors looking for revenge on you, attached to a certain part of you, as if the tumor will be re-infected, cut off here, he is attached to it after a while, if the world does not believe in cause and effect, and continues to create karma, then it will be unlucky, you will go to hell, and then reincarnate as an animal, so ah, before you still have good fortune, hurry up and accumulate virtue and do good deeds to correct yourself and don't do bad things.
People come to the world with blessings in one hand and sins in the other, and when they are people, they eat, drink and have fun Killing and eating meat is a blessing, and the six realms of reincarnation Which six realms: heavenly beings, human realms, asura paths, hell paths, animal paths, hungry ghost paths, meat is human cannibalism, you eat them, they will seek revenge on you! Feng Shui takes turns, if you don't turn back, he will eat you in the next life.
When the Han Dynasty dedicated the emperor, Cao Cao was the prime minister, specializing in his authority, everything he did, nothing more than a weak monarchy, heavy his own power, and wanted to make himself die, and the son would be the emperor. When he was dead, Cao Pi compiled, and the body was still unburied, so Pi immediately moved his concubine and took it into his own palace. After death, he will forever fall into the evil way. After more than 1,400 years, to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, someone in Suzhou killed Chu, out of his lungs and liver, there was the word 'Cao Cao', there was a person in the neighborhood who saw it, and then became a monk, the legal name was 'Fo'an', and he was recited as Buddha, so he had to die in the West. The Pure Land Sages are recorded. - "Yinguang Master Banknotes"
In "Pure Land Sage Records", Cao Cao was reincarnated as a pig and Master Fo'an became a monk and passed away:
Fo'an. The word vow, Suzhou people. When he was in his Chinese New Year's Eve, a neighbor killed a pig and took out its internal organs, and the pig's liver had the word "Cao Cao" on it.
Later, he lived in the Dawang Temple in Beihao, and took chanting Buddha as his homework every day. If someone makes an offering of money, they buy incense to make offerings to the Buddha and redeem fish and birds to release them.
In March of the 41st year of Qianlong (1776), Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty fell ill and sent his apprentices to Shilin Temple, asking the monks to worship the Pure Land for three days of confession, and cast an altar of yoga flames. After the three dates are completed, the next day a fasting feast is held to invite the guests to come and say goodbye to him, and recite the name of the Buddha, and his disciples sing harmony on the side. After reciting the three incense sticks, it was already noon, and Fo'an said, 'I'm leaving!' Then sit upright and die.
All greedy pleasures will eventually perish, and will have the transgression of degrading, and for the sake of that momentary pleasure, they will be tormented in hell for millions of eons.
No matter what kind of happiness you have, even the happiness of the Wheel King will be destroyed in the end. Dragon Fierce Bodhisattva Cloud: "All happiness in the world, only suffering is turned bad." The Ahama Sutra also says: "Accumulation will eventually fall apart, the sublime will fall, it will be separated from the end, and there will be no life and no death." "All happiness will turn into suffering, and the result of clinging to it will be for us to fall into the three evil realms and suffer at a long and bitter price.
What people think of as happiness has no reliability when it is really dissected on its essence, but the negative karma created for it causes us to suffer immeasurably in samsara. Whether it is the pleasure between the sexes, the happiness brought by wealth and fame, it is just the reversal of attachment for a moment, and the so-called enjoyment of happiness is only a slight reduction in pain, and there is no real happiness at all.
However, for the sake of a momentary illusion, many people do not hesitate to create great negative karma, and they cannot be liberated in the cycle of life and death, and even are unable to extricate themselves from the evil pleasures in millions of eons. Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period can be described as a treacherous one, but not long after his death, the throne was usurped, and his wife and concubine were taken away. And after 1400, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, a butcher in Suzhou slaughtered a pig and took out the pig's liver, with the word "Cao Cao" on it. (Before that, there is a good chance that he will suffer in hell, in the hungry.) At that time, a young man was frightened of the impermanence of cause and effect, and immediately became a monk and practiced the Dharma name "Buddha An."
Why does the pig's liver have the name "Cao Cao" on it? In the Four Hundred Treatises on Madhyamaka, the Moon Commentator also gave an analogy to illustrate the origin of this uncommon cause, which is the inconceivable cause of the previous life, which is reflected in the body of this life. If it is explained by science, there is definitely no way, but after all, this is what people have seen with their own eyes, the pig's belly was not originally dissected, and after the dissection, it was found that there were words on it, and this mystery cannot be explained by any scientist. But in Buddhism, there is such a law of cause and effect, that even if you create negative karma for a moment, the retribution will be endless. Therefore, do not destroy the afterlife for the sake of temporary pleasures, otherwise the consequences will be quite terrible.
Greed is a very big enemy, and the harm it does to us is not trivial, so we must recognize its face and stop it once greed arises. In this way, through slow practice, there will definitely be changes in the self-continuity. The reason why so many monks in history have been able to deal with greed without much effort, while people in the world have not been able to face it easily, is because the former have understood the truth, while the latter have no knowledge of it.
I have a very heavy sin, the first thing I came into contact with is the Jizo Sutra, I repented and recited the Jizo Sutra, reciting it 3 times a day and dedicating it to the relatives and creditors who have been wronged for generations and all the sentient beings who are related to me, I also insisted on reciting it at first, and then I didn't have much time to read it because of work, so I thought of a convenient way.
I downloaded the Dizang Sutra on the Internet, I played it directly, before the play, I would say that I would like to invite the Nam Wu Great Wish Dizang King Bodhisattva, the blessings of the heavens and the Dharma Protector are maintained, all the beings who want to listen to the scriptures are all here, and the blessings of the Buddha and Bodhisattva make my dojo as infinite as the Void Dharma Realm, and I hope that the Buddha and Bodhisattva will be compassionate and listen to the scriptures and all sentient beings can be reborn in bliss.
I also said that if I put the Jizo Sutra, I will invite you to come, and if I don't release you, don't come.
It worked very well, and I dreamed that many sentient beings came to me in my dreams, saying that we can come and listen to the Jizo Sutra? I said of course I can.
Generally speaking, people are reincarnated within 7 to 49 days after death, if they have been reincarnated, but the dedication will also get benefits, reciting 7 sentences of Nam no Amitabha Buddha dedication, the dedicating sentient beings can only get benefits once, so the dedication should be at least seven times or more, no matter what merit and good deeds, or chanting sutras and chanting mantras and reciting Buddha, sentient beings can benefit sentient beings.
