Building bridges and roads is a double blind spot, killing and setting fire to many descendants. This is a highlight of this trip. What does this sentence mean?
The story tells an anecdote that happened among the people when Bao Zheng was prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty. In a village, there lived a teenager whose legs were disabled and his parents died. His life is so poor that he even lives by giving alms or begging from his neighbors. There is a river in front of this village, so it is inconvenient for villagers and passers-by, especially the elderly. It is even more impassable when the river bed is flooded. But year after year, no one wants to change it. What people can see is that children pick up stones every day and pile them by the river. People asked him why, and the child said that a stone bridge would be built to facilitate the neighbors to walk. People don't think so, thinking that children are talking crazy, and most of them laugh it off. But as time goes on, year after year, stones pile up into mountains. Neighbors began to change their understanding, moved by the spirit of children, and devoted themselves to the actions of picking stones, quarrying stones and repairing bridges.
The neighbors invited craftsmen and began to build stone bridges. The disabled child is committed to this. Before the bridge was built, the child lost his eyes in a stone chisel. People deplore and resent God's injustice. Such a poor child, dedicated to everyone, has attracted such retribution. However, the children have no complaints and explore what they can do at the bridge repair site every day. Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, Qixin Bridge was finally completed. When everyone cheered and celebrated, they all focused their pity and admiration on this lonely child who was originally disabled in one leg and now blind in both eyes. Although the child can't see anything, he has the happiest smile in his life.
An unexpected heavy rain seems to have washed away the floating dust for this stone bridge. However, after a deafening thunder, everyone found that the child had been struck by a huge lightning strike and fell to the ground and died. Everyone was shocked, and then uncontrollable emotions poured out, lamenting the hardships of children's lives and accusing God of injustice. ...
What happens to be called Bao is here on business. People have stopped the official sedan chair, appealed for the children and sought justice. Questioning to the master: Why don't good people get rewarded? What will good people do in the future? Driven by the villagers' emotions, the bag of eating fireworks wrote the words "I would rather do bad things than good things" and left.
When he returned to Beijing, Lao Bao told the emperor about his business trip and his experiences on the road, but he didn't have an inscription. Because although I don't understand what I should get for doing good for my children, I still think those six words are wrong after thinking about it. Unexpectedly, after he retired from the DPRK, the emperor dragged him to the harem to talk privately. It turned out that the emperor added a new dragon son a few days ago, which was very popular, but the child cried all day and specially asked Lao Bao to come and see it. Lao Bao saw the child's skin as snow, and there was a line on his tender little hand. I took a closer look, and I wrote six words, "I would rather do evil than do good." My face was red at the base of my neck, and I quickly reached out to wipe the words. Strange to say, there was no trace of words. In an instant, the emperor saw that the birthmark on the prince's hand was erased by Bao Zheng (others saw that the line was just a birthmark), for fear of erasing Fugen, and he scolded Bao Zheng stubbornly. Bao Zheng hurriedly knelt down and said that I deserved to die, and told the story of the inscription again. The emperor was very suspicious and ordered Lao Bao to go to hell with a pillow of yin and yang to find out.
Bao took a trip to the underworld on the pillow of Yin and Yang, and the truth came out. It turns out that the child has done evil in the world and has a great career. The sins of that generation should be paid by E Lai of three generations. God originally arranged that the first life was lonely and disabled; The second one was blind, but survived. The third world was struck by lightning and buried in the wilderness. The child was born poor and disabled for the first time, but he repented and just wanted to do good for others. So God asked him to give back his inheritance to two generations. Made him blind. But children don't complain, just silently do good things for others. God accepted the karma of his third life and gave life for life, so he was struck by lightning. Terrible to ask Bao Zheng, what do you say? I returned to my career three times because he was bent on doing good deeds, thinking only of others and not of himself. In some ways, he has reached the realm of "not practicing Buddhism" and accumulated many virtues, so he was reincarnated as the prince of today immediately after his death and enjoyed the protection of the son of heaven.
This folk story. As a practitioner, it has given us a lot of inspiration. The rationality of the universe is contrary to our human rationality. All people think about is enjoyment, ease and how to live a good life. To this end, they haggle over every ounce, harm others and benefit themselves, intrigue and even commit heinous crimes. For practitioners, it is good to endure hardships, magic difficulties and return to work. You can only get it by giving up. People who don't practice can only see a point and a line in the maze, and by extension, they can only see a face, and all they see are illusions and appearances. Practitioners of different realms can understand and observe things from multiple angles, in all directions and in three dimensions, and can grasp the essence of things.
