天理昭彰，疏而不漏。 。 。
.
今天是農曆七月初一，是個吉祥而友善的日子。
我來說個頗令人省思的故事吧！
這是紐約一個同修的真實故事….
.
—————————————————————————
這是住在紐約的一個同修—-秀蘭(化名)，她說:「小時候因為家裡比較貧困，父母就以養豬、賣豬為業，以維持家計。有一次，一頭黑豬媽媽生了一窩豬寶寶，其中有一頭豬，長得跟其他兄弟姊妹不一樣，牠的毛色是全白的，唯有肚皮生了一圈黑黑的毛，就像是戴著一條黑腰帶，非常的特別，後來一窩豬寶寶陸續都賣掉了，就剩這一頭白豬，賣了好多次就是賣不掉，大家都傳言說:『從沒見過這樣的豬，是不吉利的象徵！』沒有人敢買。
.
我(秀蘭)有兩個弟弟，我是老大，母親當時正好又懷著三弟，正好也面臨著生產，母親生完三弟後，為了做個好月子，心裡想著吃補品，但是因為家裡窮，就想:『這隻白豬既然賣不掉，乾脆把牠給殺了，做補品吧！』
.
這天，母親請了大伯來家裡幫忙殺豬、燉補，大伯就在院子裡準備殺豬，母親在房裡聽到小豬吱哇亂叫的聲音，忍不住的把剛出生的三弟(BABY)交給了我(秀蘭)，從房裡衝出去幫忙大伯一起殺豬，我(秀蘭)抱著三弟，聽到院子傳來被殺小豬，那淒厲的慘叫聲，嚇得躲在房間裡緊緊抱著三弟，後來，外面的聲音停止了，豬的慘叫聲沒有了，等我(秀蘭)再回過頭來看她懷裡的弟弟，怎麼也不動了？沒氣了！！
.
媽媽幫忙殺豬完回來後，抱過來一看，弟弟早已沒了氣息，原來這個豬被殺的當場，三弟也同時死在姐姐的懷裡頭了。這是多麼令人扼腕的結果。。。
.
所謂禍不單行，福無雙至，這還不算完…..
.
我(秀蘭)的大弟，年紀大約十七歲，特別聰明、貼心、孝順，長得也很漂亮，每天晚上都會幫父母打洗腳水、洗腳、做飯啊，家裡的活兒搶著做，各個方面都是很優秀的。所以，家裡雖然不是太富裕，父母就是想方設法積攢錢，要送大弟去日本留學，圖個好未來。
.
這一年呢，大弟的學費差不多湊夠了，學校也聯繫好了，好不容易地辦完各種繁雜手續，就等著準備九月份去日本留學。這時候，也是大弟最後一個可以留在家中，陪伴父母的暑假，因為再一個多月，他就要前往日本讀書了，大弟非常乖巧，就去大伯的西瓜地裡幫忙摘西瓜，但是，大弟走進了西瓜地就再也沒有出來了。
.
大家猜怎麼了？大弟莫名被電死在西瓜地裡。媽媽聽到這個惡訊之後，當場就瘋了，舉凡吃飯、睡覺，生活再也不能自理，每天瘋瘋癲癲的，就知道往村裡一間觀音廟裡跑，整天就在那裡跪著念觀音聖號、懺悔。』
.
——————————————————————————-
故事說完了，大家有否深切體會??
所以，因果業報的可怕就是如此，希望大家跟著我修習佛法，禪法，快速地開啟智慧與能量，明白因果的自然法則，對因果有敬畏之心，斷惡修善。最後祝福大家，智慧、健康、幸福、快樂！

#20170518、 #FB直播、 #不聽不知道rnrnThe heavenly law manifest justice; there is no way of escape.

Today is the 1st day of the lunar 7th month, an auspicious and friendly day.
Let me share with you a thought-provoking story!
It is a real life story from a Bodhi practitioner in New York.
—————————————————————

I live in New York—my name is Xiulan (a pseudonym). My family was very poor when we were growing up. My parents made a living from rearing pigs. Once, a female black pig gave birth to a litter of piglets. One of them looked very different from its other siblings. Its hair was all white except for some curly black hair at the belly area which seemed like the piglet was wearing a black belt around it’s belly. Subsequently, all the piglets were sold except for this white piglet. Xiulan’s family tried selling it multiple times but was unsuccessful. There was a rumor going around: “Never seen such a pig before, it symbolizes inauspiciousness!” As a result, no one dared to buy this white piglet.

Xiulan had two younger brothers and she was the eldest child. Her mother was then pregnant with her third younger brother who was due for birth soon. After the birth of Xiulan’s third younger brother, the mother thought of slaughtering the white pig for consumption since they were not able to sell it off and she was in her confinement and needed nourishment.

On that particular day, Xiulan’s mother sought the help of Xiulan’s uncle to slaughter the white pig to make stewed soup. As Xiulan’s uncle was preparing to slaughter the pig in the courtyard, her mother heard the pig wailing and screaming from the room where she was resting. She handed her baby, Xiulan’s younger brother, to Xiulan and proceed to help Xiulan’s uncle with the slaughtering of the pig. While Xiulan carried her new-born brother in her arms, she heard the wailing scream of the pig as it was being slaughtered and was so afraid that she hid in the room holding her brother tightly. Subsequently, there was only silence. When Xiulan recovered from the agony, she discovered that her baby brother was no longer moving and breathing in her arms!!

When her mother returned to take the baby from Xiulan, she was distraught to discover that her new-born had stopped breathing. Apparently, her baby died in his sister’s arms when the pig was being killed. This is such a tragic outcome…

As the saying goes, misfortune does not come in singles and blessings never come in doubles; hence, this is not the end yet……

When Xiulan’s second younger brother was seventeen years old, he was an extremely intelligent, considerate, filial and good-looking son. Every night, he would prepare water for his parents to soak and wash their feet, prepare dinner and helped with house chores. He was an all rounder in all areas. Hence, though Xiulan’s family was not very well off, her parents tried to save money to send her brother for studies in Japan, hoping he could have a bright future.

Xiulan’s family finally managed to save enough money to send her brother overseas for study. All the administrative work for university enrollment had been done and the entire family was just looking forward for her brother to leave for Japan in September. As he was leaving in a month’s time, it would be his last summer holiday spent with his parents at home. Being a very sensible boy, he went to help his uncle harvests watermelons in his plantation. However, her brother never return from the plantation alive.

Do you know what happened? Xiulan’s brother was electrocuted in the watermelon plantation. When her mother heard about the dire news, she lost her mind on the spot.

From then on, Xiulan’s mother could no longer take care of herself in her daily life. She behaved like a lunatic and would run to the Guanyin temple in their village regularly to chant the mantra of Guanyin Bodhisattva to repent on her past sins.

Therefore, this is the scary truth of the law of cause and effect. I hope that as you learn and practice Buddha dharma with me, it can help accelerate and increase your energy and wisdom, so you will not be lost in the cycle of karma (cause and effect). May you grow in wisdom and health, and enjoy joy and happiness!

真的有因果嗎? . . 有個「寒輝」和尚…

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.
