We owed each other in the past life, but we will meet again in this life!
The following is a letter from a senior sister to share, and the letter is reproduced here:
In recent years, I have asked for advice on various issues, which made me very aware that the arrangements in life have their own reasons! For example, my best friends and colleagues hurt me too much in the past, so they took special care of me and came to repay me. But what I want to alienate the most is that I owe them too much, which makes them unhappy. Don't torture me and take revenge because of this fate. Although they won't know the essence of this matter now, after all, it is all unspoken and you have to realize it by yourself.
Due to the karma of practicing Buddhism in the past, I am the only one in my family who has the blessings and karma. When the time comes, I naturally start to learn Buddhism. My father is a traditional folk believer, and my mother has some fellow practitioners in the Taoist temple. Friend, but because I don’t understand the meaning of Buddhism, I still can’t understand that the essence of practice lies in all the mental methods created by the mind. Although in the past few years, I once guided my mother to briefly recite Buddhist scriptures for several years, and asked her to repay a few Karma also allowed her to accomplish some things that she cared about very much.
At that time, I would often tell my mother about the extraordinary merits of life release, so that she would have a good impression of life release and be willing to support it and do good deeds. Later, because my father repeatedly opposed, blocked, and humiliated my mother from reciting sutras, my mother was distracted by worldly worries and stopped reciting sutras and doing good deeds.
After my mother stopped chanting sutras, she began to live a secular life as before. When she was unhappy, she would curse and yell at others. If something harms one's own interests, it is wrong to blame others first. Everything is judged based on the scenes you see before you, the information reported by the news media, and the values established in this life.
This is really hard!
Although I also understand that my troubles and habits have not been resolved, and I still cannot achieve self-liberation, so I dare not casually say that I want to save my family and save all sentient beings, because I have no good example of practice for others. It is impossible to influence others.
One day in July 2016, my relationship with my family experienced some drastic changes.
My mother doesn’t like my monthly alms. She thinks that I give the money to others for enjoyment instead of contributing to the family. She thinks that I never consider the future and talks about my eating habits. They thought that I would either suffer from general illness and be a drag on my family, or that I would die early. Because my behavior caused all kinds of dissatisfaction to my mother, she came to ask me for money.
At that time, in order to fulfill my vow of giving away 300,000 yuan in front of the Bodhisattva statue to repay my sinful karma (I fulfilled this vow at the end of December 2016), I resolutely I expressed my refusal and unwillingness to pay my mother for family expenses or filial piety expenses. Basically, my family’s income is much more than mine. (More or less depends on luck), so it’s not really a big deal. I am short of money. I think my mother just wants to prevent me from giving money away. Instead, she lives a frugal life. My mother may want to say, "Since you love giving, and I am short of money anyway, wouldn't it be better to just give it to me?" ”.
After my mother asked me for money but failed, she began to constantly abuse and humiliate my personality and existence value. At that time, I felt extremely miserable. I thought about committing suicide several times, but she didn't. I also cried day by day.
I was scolded and humiliated intermittently for a period of time. During this period, a senior sister once suggested that I ask for advice to see if there was any karma between me and my mother. After I asked for advice, the Buddha and Bodhisattva compassionately enlightened me. It said: "If you owe me anything, you owe your mother. You need to repent sincerely and recite the Diamond Sutra, the Medicine Master Sutra, and the Ksitigarbha Sutra 68 times each."
At that time, after listening to the sermon, I hurriedly made meritorious deeds to my mother in order to settle my grudges and pain as soon as possible.
After returning to Consummation, there was a brief period of peace and quiet, but not long after, I still received a lot of scolding! My mother began to blame me, saying that she had listened to my words and used money to release animals, and spent a lot of money to go out. Did she regret giving the money to others? He was even more unforgiving of me. For a period of time, he even wanted to kick me out of the house, or join other family members to insult me and attack me. At that time, I often felt as if I should not live in this world!
Except for the first time I was scolded, I cried to them. From then on, every time they came to insult me, I remained silent without saying a word. After they finished scolding me, I cried. Ask me: "Are you listening?"
Because I don't say a word, they sometimes find it unpleasant to be scolded, which makes them even more angry. Later, I just thought in my mind: "I'm scolding you all. I don't want to defend myself. Can I scold you faster?" Or I thought: "That's right! What you said is all right, only I am wrong. Namo Amitabha!"
After they leave, continue to do my thing. As time went by, they became bored and began to ignore me, and the matter gradually faded away and subsided.
Later, I asked: "What do I owe my mother?" The reply was: "You robbed her (mother) of her lover in the past life."
Later I remembered that in the past A psychic told me: "My relationship with my father in past lives was that we were lovers in one life, and good same-sex friends in another life. My relationship with my mother was that of sisters in one life. . In another life, we were love rivals. In this life, my father and I are always better, but my mother and I are always not so good. This is due to the influence of the past relationship. But no matter what, we are destined to meet each other in this life, and the good relationship continues. , the bad relationship will be resolved.”
So there is also a request for advice: “Is this psychic’s statement that his father was a same-sex friend and loving lover in the past life, and his mother was a love rival? "Correct?" He said: "Yes."
Because my father was not able to accept the changes in my words and deeds after I started learning Buddhism, unlike a secular person. Although he did not express it directly, There are still some complaints. So I would like to ask if I owe anything to my father? Enlightenment: "There is no debt, just good karma!"
I think fate is formed in such a clever way. If there is no fate, we will not meet, so we owe each other in the past life and meet each other in this life!
(End of sharing)
Senior sister: So I also asked for instructions: "This psychic said that in the past life, his father was a same-sex friend and loving lover, and his mother was a love rival. Is the statement correct? "Discipline: "Yes." - This means that we don't get together for no reason, and family members are often people with deep causal connections!
And the above-mentioned cases are also intricately related! Senior sister: "My relationship with my father in past lives was that we were loving lovers in one life, and good same-sex friends in another life." "My relationship with my mother was that of sisters in another life. And in another life, we were sisters." It's a love rival relationship. "In the case of the senior sister, both parents were getting along with him for the third time, and they had different reasons. Dad is doing good deeds, and mom is here to seek retribution! This kind of relationship illustrates the reincarnation of cause and effect. Maybe everyone is related, or it may be a previous life, or it may be a long, long time ago, so they meet again in this life to resolve the cause and effect! It takes ten years to cultivate in the same boat, and it takes a hundred years to cultivate to sleep on the same pillow. This sentence is the best portrayal!
So eminent monks and great virtues always say: "If others scold me or harm me, forget it! Treat it as eliminating karma!" In fact, this sentence is very consistent with cause and effect. If we owe others, we deserve to be scolded! It doesn't matter if we have nothing to do with each other or if they owe me something, because on the path of spiritual practice, what we have to learn is "tolerance of humiliation", so just treat it as if we owe others! And he doesn't feel resentful when he is scolded, which is a good thing! In other words, others do merit for you! You should thank people.
Eminent monks and great virtues also say that taking a loss is a gain. Why is this so? If we owe someone, we are just paying off the debt, and there is nothing wrong with that. If someone really takes advantage, we won’t suffer! Because in terms of cause and effect, he will have to pay us back in the future. Even if we don't care about it, it will still be recorded in the cause and effect account and no one can care about it.
From a cultivation level, when we don’t care, this tolerant heart is cultivated by you, and this virtue will grow in us and be cultivated by you. However, those who benefited in the first place will have to pay this retribution in the future. If the other party still deliberately causes you to suffer losses, then the other party will have to bear the consequences of other communiqués! So in the long run, who loses?
After knowing the truth of cause and effect, people will become timid, because they know that everything has cause and effect and cannot indulge in it. This is a good thing because future mistakes are avoided. It is recommended that you cultivate a kind heart and benefit others. This is to build a wide range of good karma. No matter you study Buddhism or meet anyone or anything in the future, you will have good karma! The most practical and fundamental approach!
You have to compare and care less, or even be jealous, and think more positively, so that the future will be bright.
The following is taken from the Internet: "All kinds of calculations are worse than a simple heart!" Situations are created by the mind. 〉,〈Change yourself, and you may change the world! 〉
It turns out that "kindness of heart" is more powerful than "feng shui"!
A Feng Shui master walked a lot and was very thirsty. Finally he saw a manor and he hurriedly asked for water. A servant came out and asked him to wait outside the door to get water.
The master waited for a long time and couldn't help but complain. Finally, the water was brought and served in a big bowl. I was about to take a big sip, but unexpectedly there was a lot of rice bran sprinkled on it and it was very hot!
The Feng Shui master couldn't help but feel resentful, thinking that the owner of the house was deliberately torturing and was really evil. However, because of his severe thirst, he could only swallow his anger and drink little by little while blowing away the rice bran and cold boiled water. After finally finishing the drink, the master did something to make this vicious-hearted family have their feng shui adjusted to a graveyard where they will never get ahead!
A few years later, the Feng Shui master passed by this manor again for business. Unexpectedly, the place was full of red flowers and green willows, and it was more prosperous and auspicious than before. The master was really confused, so he asked to see the master and told him about drinking water and changing Feng Shui. The owner was an old lady. After hearing this, she smiled and said, "There are no homes in this area for several kilometers. You must have walked a lot to get here. Drink water immediately. It is harmful to your health. I asked you to wait to calm your breath." A little modification, cold water is even more harmful to the body, so I replaced it with boiled water and added rice bran. I hope you drink it slowly. Drinking a lot of water all at once is harmful to the body... The master was very ashamed and ashamed after hearing this. From then on, he gave up looking at any Feng Shui and focused on his own practice. Because, he finally understood that what is greater than Feng Shui is a person's kindness, and what is greater than the Dharma is cause and effect.
A person who does good deeds and accumulates virtue is self-evident! In fact, sometimes the love Bodhisattva gives us is like this bowl of water, with so much good intentions. But with our ordinary hearts, we are anxious and greedy, how can we understand the Buddha's love?
All kinds of calculations are worse than a simple heart! Situations are created by the mind.
So if you change yourself, you may change the world!
Don’t neglect doing good deeds because they are small
