真的有因果嗎?
.
.
有個「寒輝」和尚，他是個非常精進修行，每天誦經念佛，持戒都做得很好的大師兄，有一次他離開寺廟，到了鎮上，經過市集，突然聞到一股香氣撲鼻的臘肉香，因為他從來沒吃過肉，禁不起這個誘惑，口水都流下來了，就想：「哎呀，我就吃這麼一次，我今天跟佛菩薩請個假，就吃這麼一次，吃完了以後，滿足的回到寺院繼續修行，所有師兄弟們都不知道他破了戒律。
.
沒多久「寒輝」的身上、手上、腿上，全身突然冒出了18個爛瘡，哎呀，不得了了，這些大瘡又大又疼，疼得無法穿衣服，一穿衣服就疼，就只能把衣服揭開，讓大家看他的爛瘡，大瘡又爛又臭，所有的人都不敢接近他，這讓他痛苦不堪。
.
這天「寒輝」和尚在睡夢中，看見了18個人來跟他索命，寒輝說：「我一生精進修行，也沒做過壞事，您們是不是討債找錯人啦？」１８個人回：「你前世是我們的將領，我們是跟著你手下的士兵，當時我們一共有20個人，當時20個人之中有2個人違反軍紀，強姦了村莊裡的婦女，但是你不分青紅皂白，竟然把我們20個人全都給殺了。
.
你不明就理，讓我們１８個人枉死，所以這個怨恨很深，我們找你找了200年，終於在這一世找到你，可是因為你在寺廟裡，每天吃齋念佛，持戒修行，你身邊的護法神讓我們無法靠近，我們無法找你索命，只好留在這兒等待機會。
正好那天你在市集上，聞到狗肉的香味破戒吃了肉，你一破戒護法神就離開了你，我們就馬上找上了你，所以這18個瘡，就是我們來找你索命的。」
.
「寒輝」和尚聽了非常懺悔，他跪在佛前深深的懺悔，祈求他們的原諒。那麼這18個人就講，說我們原諒不了你，因為你的功德不夠，我們無法解開這個怨氣，但是因為你是個修行人，我們給你3年的時間，3年以後我們再來找你。
.
後來「寒輝」和尚身上１８個爛瘡真的好了，3年以後18個大毒瘡再一次復發，「寒輝」和尚很快就死了。
.
所謂:種瓜得瓜，種豆得豆，自然界的循環，就是因果。
我們若能明白自然界的道理，除去無明，就不會種下無明的種子。

Does the concept of cause and effect really exist?
There was a monk named Han Hui who was very diligent in chanting and also disciplined in self-restraint. One day, as he was strolling along the streets in the city, he caught an irresistible aroma of preserved pork. As he had never eaten pork, the irresistible temptation caused him to crave for it. He thought to himself, “Why don’t I seek a one-time exemption and give myself a break from not eating pork just this once. I can always make it up by my chanting when I return to the temple and nobody will know that I have broken my restraint.”
Soon after his return to the temple, he developed serious skin breakouts at 18 points all over his body, hands and legs. The sore skin breakouts were so large and painful that he could not have his clothes on. He had to expose part of his body especially the affected areas. The skin condition worsened so much that the affected areas started to give out a foul smell. Many people stayed away from him and avoided being near him. This made him very sad.
One night, Monk Han Hui had a dream. He dreamt that 18 men were trying to take his life. He pleaded to the 18 men “I have been a good practicing monk, and have never committed bad deeds. Why do you want to take my life? Have you identified the wrong person?” The 18 men replied unanimously “In our past life, you were our leader and we were your subordinates. There were 20 of us. During an incident when 2 of us committed a crime of rape in a village, instead of punishing the 2 culprits, you killed all of us without hesitation or inquiry!”
“Your killing of 18 innocent men was unfair. The resulting hatred was so deep and it took 200 years for us to find you to seek justice. In this life of yours, you were diligent in your monastery practices in chanting and self-restraint, so you were well protected by the Dharma protectors. There was no opportunity for us to get close to killing you. We watched for every possible opportunity to take your life. Just then, the day when you broke your discipline by not refraining from eating meat, the Dharma protectors no longer shielded you, that gave us the golden opportunity to strike. These 18 sores manifested painfully on your body.”
Monk Han Hui was deeply remorseful. He knelt and repented in front of Buddha, seeking forgiveness from the 18 men. However, the 18 men could not forgive him then as they felt that he had not accumulated sufficient good deeds to dissolve the hatred. However, since Monk Han Hui was a practicing monk, the 18 men mitigated his plea with a 3-year delay in killing him. They would look for him again 3 years later.
After some time, Monk Han Hui recovered from the 18 sores. However, he had a relapse 3 years later and finally died.
When one sows melon seeds, one harvests melon; when one plants beans, one gets beans. Therefore “We shall reap what we sow”.
In accordance with the Law of Nature, this is known as “Cause and Effect”. With this understanding, one should not be ignorant of the choice of seeds to sow in order to expect fruits of goodness.
