Believe that cause and effect are not bad
The Buddhist scriptures say: "Even after hundreds or thousands of kalpas, the karma created will not disappear by itself.As long as the conditions are ripe, you have to suffer the consequences yourself."The monks in Shouchang Temple were burned for their application to build the temple.Or some people may suspect that cause and effect are not credible, but in fact, it can prove that cause and effect cannot be escaped, and it is not bad at all.Why?You must know the monk and Wei Shaoqin, and you must have had a life debt of killing in your previous life.Unfortunately, since the monk knew that he could not escape, he should only recite the Buddha's name with all his heart and seek rebirth in the West.Although he suffered from a fixed karma and lost his life, he could still rely on the power of Buddha to escape from the cycle of reincarnation forever. However, he did not do so, but he hoped to rescue and wanted to escape.It seems that I lack understanding of the methods of chanting Buddha's name and seeking rebirth in the West, and I have less practice;I only suffer the pain of burning my body to repay my past debts.If you realize that this is a long-standing karma when you are burned, and you think of repaying your debts and repaying your kindness, you can also hope to be born in the heavens by restoring the temple.If you have a sense of hatred and revenge, you will end your resentment with Wei, and you will never have a lasting life for generations, it will be even more terrible!Because the rise and fall after death must be cut off by the last thought at the end of death.In short, if a person has not attained the fruit, he should pay attention to his words and actions and should not make any light words.I hope readers will think that no matter the best or wrong situation, they must firmly believe that cause and effect are not bad.
Wei Shaoqin, an eunuch of the Song Dynasty, served as the inspector of the inside and outside the imperial city (similar police chief).This person is mean by nature and does not listen to others' advice, and his subordinates do not rely on him.During the Taiping Xingguo Period (976 AD -983In 2019, a monk from Jiangdong went to Beijing to apply for the construction of Tiantai Shouchang Temple, and said that the temple was built and he was willing to burn himself to repay his kindness.
Emperor Taizong approved his application and sent Wei Shaoqin to supervise the construction. After the construction was completed, Wei sent someone to pile firewood in front of the courtyard and asked the monk to burn it.The monk said he wanted to meet the emperor and thanked him.Wei said, "When I bid farewell yesterday, I have already received the sages, so you don't need to thank you.""The monk retreated timidly, looking at the monks and lay people, hoping for rescue;Wei was about to force him to the pile of fire and burn it. When the fire became more and more fierce, the monk wanted to jump off, but Wei asked someone to hold him down with an iron fork and burn him to death.(Published "History of the Song Dynasty.
