Modern Record of Cause and Retribution: Blessings to the soul, eliminating disasters and avoiding difficulties

A lotus friend Chen Longzhou, who was jointly practiced by the author, lives in Zhonghe City, Taipei County. He is a business in driving a kindergarten baby cart in the morning and evening.He is loyal and honest and does not speak lies, is kind and generous, often takes care of the Tzu Chi community resource recycling work, listens diligently to the monk's lectures, and recites the Buddha's name diligently. He is a devout Buddhist disciple. He has been a volunteer in Yuanheng Hall, Changshoushan, Taipei County for a long time, working hard and willing to help others.

On October 17, 2001, he experienced an incredible thing, and the good deeds he accumulated in his daily life saved his family from a fire.That day was the Wednesday of Changshou Mountain. At noon, Mr. Chen Longzhou made an appointment with Senior Sister Lin and picked her up to Changshou Mountain to practice at 6:30 pm.At the agreed time, Mr. Chen went to the alley at the entrance of the alley to wait for Senior Sister Lin, but he still couldn't see anyone until 6:50.It happened that Mr. Chen’s cell phone was broken and he could not contact Senior Sister Lin, but because he had to pick up another Senior Sister Chen who sold vegetables, he decided not to wait and go directly to pick up Senior Sister Chen.When I got there, I realized that she had pain in her feet and could not go to practice together. It was just because Mr. Chen’s cell phone was malfunctioning, so she couldn’t know it.The two senior sisters did not receive it, and there was another senior brother Xu who could not contact him. Mr. Chen still decided to drive up the mountain alone.I thought to myself that every time I practice together, I always bring a few lotus friends together, but I didn’t receive any of them today. I couldn’t help but feel a little lonely and very strange.

Shortly after the car passed the Tucheng Interchange, the headlights suddenly went out and it couldn't be turned on. I was hesitant whether I should go back to repair the car.I have to pick up my children to go to school tomorrow. There can be no problem with the car, but I have never been absent from the joint training, so I don’t want to make an exception this time.He continued to drive the car towards Changshou Mountain. When he drove to Dingpu Primary School Land Bridge, his head seemed to be slapped, and there was a voice in his ear saying, "Go back quickly, go back quickly." He was pulled by this call and immediately turned around and drove to the repair shop on Zhonghe Yuanshan Road.Once I arrived at the repair shop, the car could not move. After the boss looked at it, it would take 2 hours to repair it.Mr. Chen wanted to rest in the car, but the boss refused and kept saying to him: "You go home first, go home first, and come back later."Although he was a little unhappy and felt it was troublesome, because of the boss's insistence, he had to walk home to rest.

It takes about ten minutes to walk from the repair shop to Chen Jushi's house. As soon as he got home, he opened the door and a heat came towards him, which surprised him. He quickly looked towards the kitchen, but found that the kitchen was on.At this time, a thought flashed through his mind quickly. He ran towards the kitchen and turned off the fire on the gas stove. He calmed down and saw that not only the stove had been burned red, but the teapot was also red. If he came home 5 minutes later, the teapot might explode, and a disaster was inevitable.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat and his hands and feet became weak.Afterwards, he turned out that he had boiled water and took a shower when he went home for a rest at noon. Later, he was asleep in a chair and woke up at 3:30, so he forgot about boiling water and rushed to take the children out of class.

Mr. Chen sat on the chair and thought about it repeatedly, believing that all this was added to the quilt of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, so that there would be all the coincidences that followed, urging him to go home.Especially in the past, he always waited on the scene when he repaired the car, but this time the boss insisted on him going home abnormally.Mr. Chen did good deeds and received good rewards, which is theThe Supreme Sensation》As mentioned above, "The mind arises from goodness, and although goodness has not been done, the good spirit has followed it; or the mind arises from evil, and although evil has not been done, the evil spirit has followed it."Lao Tzu said: "How far is the difference between good and evil?" Good and evil will not be too far apart at first, especially in our daily life and thoughts. Our thoughts are sometimes good and sometimes evil.If you can know this principle and practice and reflect on it, then you will naturally be all good and rewarded. (De )It will definitely increase, and disasters will definitely decrease.From the first thought of goodness, you can turn misfortune into blessing. The speed of sensing is so fast, so it is said: "The mind has good and evil, and good and bad gods have followed it."Don't say that doing good will not be rewarded, wait forMeritIf perfection is achieved, blessings will be brought to the mind and disasters can be eliminated.
