Sincere advice from a cancer patient

Stop killing and protect students 2019-12-01 17:13

I was born in a small village in northern Anhui Province. Since I was a child, I have been a good boy who is diligent, thrifty, sensible and studious, and respects the elderly and loves the young.My parents worked hard to support my education. Later, I was admitted to a university in Qingdao, and then I left my hometown and started living in the city for 18 years.

A rural child without any connections or background, I was alone in the bizarre city of Qingdao.What I wanted was to get ahead, bring honor to my parents, and realize my dream of becoming a city dweller.After graduation, I worked in a factory and then as an apprentice in an auto repair shop.Later, because of my hard work and studiousness, I gradually moved into a leadership position in the company.At work, I met a female college student from the countryside. We were both from the countryside. We had the same qualities - thrift, frugality, kindness and simplicity. She later became my wife.

In order to buy a house, our monthly living expenses are only more than 200 yuan.For breakfast every day, I make noodles with the leftovers from the day before. For lunch, I have a working meal that costs 1.5 yuan per serving. In the evening, I often eat vermicelli stewed with carrots and cabbage, because these two dishes are the cheapest and can be stored easily.Our colleagues all laugh at us because we don’t understand the prices of meat and eggs because we often haven’t bought these high-priced vegetables for months.

1999At the end of the year, we bought a house and got married. Thinking about how destitute we were, we didn’t even take wedding photos because more than 1,000 yuan could buy an electrical appliance.We bought a dining table every month, a cabinet every month, and a sofa every month. We didn’t buy a TV until a year after we got married.At that time, in order to save the bus fare of 6 yuan per day for the two of us, we bought two bicycles and rode them to work for 40 minutes every day. We stopped riding bicycles until my wife was more than 5 months pregnant.In order to save 50 cents on the bus fare, we had to get off the bus a few stops earlier and walk for more than 20 minutes to get home.Even in such difficult days, our life as a couple is extremely happy. We never complain, never compare, and live a happy and sunny life.

2001In the year, my daughter was born.I also changed jobs and my salary started to increase.We gradually accumulated some savings, and our living standards improved day by day. We began to frequent large supermarkets, and the price of clothes increased from less than 30 yuan at first to more than 1,000 yuan now.Later, when housing prices soared, we bought and sold several houses and made some money from them, which greatly improved our living standards. However, "people's hearts are not enough," and our vanity and desire for comparison always feel unsatisfied.

2006In 2008, I left my original company. After being introduced by my colleagues, I started to work part-time for a company in Beijing. I received money based on the project. Transportation, accommodation, and catering were all the responsibility of the company or the customer.Therefore, in those years, I traveled almost all over the country and ate delicacies from all over the country.It is conservatively estimated that my flight ticket will cost no less than 100,000 yuan, the entertainment fee for each table will be several thousand yuan, and the hotel I will stay in must be at least a three-star, or even a five-star, presidential suite.I used to be very frugal, but because these expenses didn’t cost me a penny, I didn’t realize that it was shameful to waste. Instead, I thought it was my blessing. I indulged in enjoyment and gained 200 pounds in weight. But at this time, I never thought that this was quickly consuming my blessings!

2007At the end of the year, I saw that everyone else was making a lot of money by speculating in the stock market. I couldn't sit still and spent tens of thousands of yuan at home on speculating in the stock market.I was satisfied with the daily income and was not satisfied with the status quo. I later mortgaged a house for 120,000 yuan and invested in the stock market. As a result, I lost more than 60,000 yuan.Under my wife's angry quarrel, I also felt sorry for her. After learning from my experience, I left the stock market.But then the market picked up again. I wanted to make back the money I had lost, so I persuaded my wife to return to the stock market, but in the end I was left with less than 50,000 yuan.I had no choice but to liquidate all my stocks.

2009In 2016, I sold the mortgaged house, paid off my debts, and wanted to save some funds to start a small business.But the temptation of the stock market made me ready to make a move. I thought that based on my research on the stock market, it would not fall this time, so I entered the stock market again.

2010In August of that year, a bolt from the blue awoke me from my deep sleep - the test results from the removal of the neck tumor turned out to be squamous cell carcinoma, and it was already in the third year, and it was an advanced stage of the tumor.From then on, I began a long treatment process, from chemotherapy to radiotherapy. I endured unimaginable pain, and my body gradually lost weight, from 200 pounds to more than 130 pounds.

2011In July 2019, when I went to Guangzhou Zhongshan Hospital to check the cause of fever, a PETCT The examination gave me a death sentence.I actually have an 8.5cm growth on my chest and diaphragm ×9.2The tumor was a centimeter large and had invaded the ribs, lumbar vertebrae, and thoracic vertebrae. There were also several obvious lesions in the lungs.The doctor expressed his heartache by saying "I'm sorry."After returning to Qingdao, I went for chemotherapy, but the effect was not obvious, so I started conservative radiotherapy. After three treatments, I couldn't stand it anymore.Until now, I no longer have the strength to sit up and am as skinny as a stick.

10In the middle of the month, I remembered the books on Buddhism that I had read before.Desperate, I began to convert to Buddhism and began to truly reflect on where I had gone wrong.Come to think of it, I am a low-key person, live a frugal life, and am good to the elderly.……

Later, after Master’s guidance, I understood:Killing is a short-lived retribution!All the expenses for food, accommodation, and transportation over the years have been charged to my account. They are all detracting from my blessings!Only then did I know that I would die if I ran out of money!Moreover, the ups and downs of the stock market in the past few years have made my heart no longer find the peace it had when I was a child.The stock loss cost me not only money, but also my responsibility to the entire family, my physical health and my peace of mind.I have personally verified the admonition that “whatever goes in contrary to what is going in will also come out contrary to what is going in”!

The Buddhist scriptures say:“All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning.”Looking back on my life, it feels like a dream.Working hard is a tiring dream; getting married, having children, getting promoted and getting a salary increase is a sweet dream; being terminally ill and tormented by illness is a nightmare.The Buddha is the one who speaks the truth, speaks the truth, and does not lie. Every word in the Buddhist scriptures reveals the truth of our universe and even the ten dharma realms.Now that I am about to pass away from this world, think about it, what method can I get?

“Nothing can be taken away, only karma remains with you.”All tangible things in the world cannot be taken away!My wife, children, house, money, everything I have worked hard for in this life cannot be taken away!The delicacies of mountains and seas that I tasted before, those luxurious hotels that once made me feel relaxed and happy, and those beautiful feelings have all become my karma.How many animals have perished in this mouth of mine!All buried in my three-inch tongue!

Now the retribution has arrived, all my taste buds are broken, I have no sense of taste in all food, and it is difficult to even speak.My wife needs to listen carefully to understand what I am saying.This once again confirms what the Buddhist scriptures say: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind are all illusions, and colors, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and laws are not real at all.The pleasure of staying in a high-end hotel disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a small bed less than two meters tall. My body was covered with bedsores, and I couldn't even turn over while lying on the bed.At this time, I realized that the Saha world is too painful!Everything the Buddhist scriptures say is true.How wise Shakyamuni Buddha is!Two thousand and five hundred years ago, it revealed to us the pain of life, old age, illness and death.

Obtaining a human body is something we encounter through millions of tribulations. The human body is like a piece of clothing. Fame and wealth can only make us more lost in the six realms and fall deeper.It is true wisdom that we can cultivate through falsehood, and escaping from the six paths of reincarnation is the ultimate goal.People should face life with a normal, calm and contented heart, explore the truth of life according to the guidance of sages, cherish what they have, and achieve eternal bliss.This is a summary of my life when I was terminally ill.

How I wish I could turn back time:

If only I could have met a good teacher and the Dharma earlier!If I could replace all the delicacies from the mountains and seas with vegetarian food, and release all the animals that were disembowelled, fried, and eaten by me,……

If I could save all the money I spent on flying and staying in high-end hotels, donate it to the orphans in Yushu, to those in need, or to print scriptures or engrave CDs of traditional culture.……

If I could use the money from stock trading to support my parents……

Too many ifs……

How I wish I had time to repent of the wrong things I had done and to do more good deeds to dedicate them to the animals I had eaten and harmed.I'm really, really sorry for them.I sincerely pray that Amitabha, the Great Merciful and Compassionate Buddha, will bring them all to the Land of Ultimate Bliss.I vow that after I am reborn in the Western Paradise, I will first fly Cihang to save them!

How I wish I could give my parents a pat on the back, wash their feet, and cook them a delicious meal to repay my parents for their upbringing.But as a son, I no longer even have this ability.《The Disciples Regulations say:“If you are injured, your relatives will be worried.If one's virtue is damaged, one's relatives will be ashamed.”《The Book of Filial Piety says:“The hair and skin of the body are received from parents and do not dare to be damaged. This is the beginning of filial piety.”Killing a living being results in a short life, preventing me from being able to provide for the elderly until they die. I want my parents with white hair to live with their black hair. How can I be considered a filial son?！I once heard a good teacher say that true filial piety is to become a Buddha.The true form of great filial piety is to persuade your parents to recite Buddha’s name and seek rebirth in the Western Paradise!This is the most perfect and perfect act of filial piety.I used to eat delicacies all day long and kill so many living beings, how could I talk about filial piety?Dad, Mom, and son now understand:Only by reciting the Buddha's name wholeheartedly to seek rebirth in the Western Pure Land, and sailing on the Merciful Navigation in the future, returning to Saha to save all sentient beings can we repay your kindness in raising us!

Bodhisattvas fear causes, and sentient beings fear consequences.Buddhist scriptures say that if we ordinary people practice the Five Precepts and Ten Good Deeds, and recite Amitabha Buddha with a sincere heart, we can be reborn in the Western Paradise, escape from the six paths, and become a Buddha without retreating.Reciting the name of Buddha to seek rebirth in the Pure Land is the only way for Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to protect us ordinary beings from being harmed by karma.In the eyes of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, we are their children!Buddhas and Bodhisattvas cannot bear to see any of us hurt at all. It’s a pity that I understand these truths now.We ordinary people are like this. We have to hit our heads with blood and bruises all over before we are willing to believe what the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas say.That's how I am. I haven't believed it after reading so many Buddhist books. How stupid I am!

I advise my friends:Regardless of whether you have learned Buddhism or not, please believe that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil.Harming any kind of life is actually harming yourself.Human blessings are limited.During your lifetime, don’t put too much energy on making money and enjoying yourself. You must cherish your blessings, practice good deeds early and accumulate virtue, and recite Buddha’s name well to seek rebirth in the Pure Land.Don't be like me and wait until the end of your life to repent!
