Does the contradiction between taking advantage of one's post and destroying one's work involve righteousness and injustice?
For example, if an ordinary worker works all his life, his accumulated property will be several hundred thousand yuan; But some lucky people won the lottery, winning millions or even hundreds of millions at once; What's more, he has inherited billions of property, and he may be like his brother who "gets something for nothing". But did senior brother ever think: If they don't have such a blessing, will they have such an opportunity? In the same way, the Buddha's top is so incredible that people who have no karma can't meet it at all, and they can't beat Dalagni if they walk under the Buddha's top. For example, the Dharani Sutra of the Merciful Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva with a thousand hands and eyes says: This is the power of Dharani. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. If you don't go there, you've already planted good roots widely. I can't even hear the name. Besides, I can see that.
So don't doubt the Buddha's statement, because the realm of Buddha is beyond the understanding of ordinary people. Dalagni can't be trusted by ordinary people, because it's incredible and hard to understand.
There is a record in Article 17 of the Analogy of French Sentences (in vernacular, you can read Buddhist scriptures by yourself):
When Sakyamuni Buddha visited Luoyue, he asked the venerable Buddha to take the hair and nails cut by the Buddha and build a tower on a mountain in the south of the country. There are 500 arhats living on this mountain. They have been longing for enlightenment from the Buddha, but they have no career. Now the Buddha's claws are here, as if the Buddha had come in person. Five hundred arhats are very happy and cherish it, and worship around the tower in the morning and evening.
There are 500 macaques living in groups in this mountain. They think it is novel to see Lohan Zhixin worship the stupa devoutly every day, so they follow him to the deep valley, bring mud back to the mountain to imitate a stupa, and worship in the morning and evening like a yogi.
One day, there was a sudden rainstorm and flash floods on the mountain, and 500 macaques could not escape for a while, all of them were flooded. After the death of macaques, they immediately ascended to heaven, not only living in Qibao Palace, but also having no worries about food and clothing. This situation makes them deeply puzzled. How could they have this blessing to be born in the Heavenly Palace? When I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that I was born a macaque. Although I was drowned by the flood, I was born in the sky because I imitated the cause of Luohan's tower building. Looking back on this karma, the 500-year-old man was deeply grateful and felt that his death was rewarded. So they went down to earth together, burned incense and scattered flowers around the macaque body, and turned seven times.
At that time, there were 500 Brahmins in the mountains. They generally learned evil opinions from pagans and did not believe in the cause and effect of sin. Therefore, when they saw Heaven and Man having fun here, they were puzzled and asked curiously, "Dear Heaven and Man, how noble you are, why do you condescend to support the body of macaques here today?" Heaven and man replied, "These bodies are our predecessors. We used to be born macaques, because we imitated the tower worship of Lohan, and later we were flooded, but because we built a tower to support Fude, we could feel profitable. So, we come to repay the kindness of our predecessors. Brahman, Buddha is boundless! Even if we worship the stupa in ignorance, we can get such a blessing, not to mention sincerely supporting the Buddha, which is even more remarkable. Therefore, if you don't follow the teachings, even if you try to repair hundreds of robberies, it will be in vain. Why don't you come with us to worship Buddha in Lushan Mountain now, and you will surely get unlimited blessings. "
After listening to the experience described by Heaven and Man, 500 Brahmins had infinite admiration for Wade of the Buddha, so they took Heaven and Man to visit the Buddha. Five hundred people said to the Buddha, "We were macaques in previous lives, and we can enjoy the happiness of life only after being blessed by the world." However, I deeply regret that I couldn't see the Buddha with my own eyes, so I came to pay my respects today. "Then, Heaven and Man asked the Buddha," Why did we have to wait until someone else was born to be a macaque? "Why was it drowned by the flood?"
The Buddha was merciful: "All phenomena have cause and effect, and will not be born out of thin air. The public listened attentively, so I should explain the cause and effect of this matter. A long time ago, 500 young brahmins went into the mountains together to find a teacher to visit Tao. At that time, a monk wanted to build a mud house on the mountain and study hard, so he went back and forth down the mountain to get water from the stream. This shaman has a strong practice, and his figure is brisk and agile. When 500 Brahmins saw it, they were all jealous and laughed together:' Look, this shaman is like a macaque crossing the valley. What's the big deal? If you keep taking water like this, you will be flooded by flash floods sooner or later. " "
The Buddha told you that the Saman was my predecessor at that time, and those 500 little Brahmins were your past lives. Because of nausea, I ridiculed others, but I was reported by the macaque and drowned. This is the so-called' laughter is evil, you do your own thing, you cry and you are reported, and you are guilty with it'! "
Having said that, the Buddha continued to enlighten the public: "Dear Heaven and Man, although you were a beast in your last life, you can build a pagoda and worship. Although these behaviors are self-imitation, offering sacrifices to the pagoda temple has infinite merits, so it also eliminates the crime you committed because of looting, and you can enjoy life in heaven. Now the public is getting closer to Buddhism and sincerely accepting teaching. Because of this, they will be separated from the public forever. "
After listening to the Buddha's enlightenment, 500 people proved the Tao fruit. The 500 Brahmins who came to worship Buddha together could not help but sigh because they heard the Buddha's explanation of the cause and effect of sin and blessing: "We learned the way to become immortal in order to live forever. I didn't expect years of hard work to yield nothing, not as good as the blessings these macaques got for the tower. The holiness of the Buddha is really elusive! " So, before they bowed down, they bowed to the Buddha and asked him to accept them as disciples. The Buddha cried piteously, "Come, monk!" These 500 Brahmins immediately appeared as Samanas, and since then, they have followed the Buddha's practice and made unremitting efforts, and soon gained the certificate of Arhat grosvenor.
Reflection: 500 macaques have just learned to look like stupas. There are no Buddhist relics in it, and I don't know anything about Buddhism. It's just fate. As you can imagine, what the Buddha said about Dalagni's merits is incredible.
