The Buddha's Dharma to save the life of the ox soul
There was a maid named Nie in the family of Mr. Liu Jingmi in southern Sichuan Province who had killed 96 cows in his past life.These cows are reincarnated as ghosts to avenge them.
Nie is also from Sichuan. Since he got married, he has been often caused by ghosts and has a number of attacks every year, which is extremely painful.
In February 1932, Nie became a maid from the Liu family.One day, she suddenly suffered from a serious illness, with red scars all over her body, which was both painful and itchy, and itchy. She wanted to jump into the river and commit suicide, but was stopped by everyone.She danced and barked like a mad dog, sang a tragic song about killing cows loudly, and sang quite rhymes, making noise everywhere.
Mr. Liu Jingmi went to visit her and she said, "Master!You are magnanimous. I am not Nie, but the cattle that Nie killed in Wanxian when he was a butcher in his past life. We have a total of 96 unjust souls. Today we come to ask for her life!"
Mr. Liu Jingmi told the ninety-six cows’ unjust souls, “You are so confused!In fact, because you killed her earlier, you became a cow and were killed.Otherwise, how could she have killed only these ninety-six lives so by chance?Now you forget that you had harmed her earlier, but only remember that she had killed you. If you continue to go on like this, revenge is a kind of suffering reincarnation.What are the benefits of killing like this?"The evil soul of the ninety-six cows replied, "You are quite reasonable!We are indeed at fault, but our necks are bleeding and the pain has not yet disappeared. Because we feel this pain and think of our enemies and creditors, we have the idea of revenge!"Liu Jingmi said, "This is not difficult to solve!"After saying that, he immediately ordered the servant to take half a cup of tea, recite the mantra of nectar three times, and ask those unjust souls to drink it.The hands of those wronged souls cannot be bent, and they said, "This is our feet and hooves, how can we hold a cup?"So, Mr. Liu Jingmi ordered his servant to pour tea that had blessed the mantra of the nectar and the truth into Nie's mouth so that those unjust souls could drink it.Unexpectedly, after drinking the tea, the unjust souls said happily: "This curse water is so magical!We feel so comfortable!"They touched their throats and said, "Our necks are healed!""Touched his hand again and said, "The hooves have fallen off!"Touched his head, and said, "The corner has also disappeared!"
Mr. Liu Jingmi then explained to them the various painful situations of confusion and praised the happiness of the Pure Land.He also asked, "If you are reborn in the Pure Land, you will be free from the painful cycle of reincarnation forever. Would you like to be reborn?"The unjust souls answered: "Since the Pure Land is as good as you described, how could we not want to?"But our sins are so profound, can we get rid of them?"Mr. Liu replied: "If you can swear to chant the Buddha's name and want to be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, I should ask Amitabha Buddha to guide you!OK?"The unjust souls said, "Very good!very good!But we have been hungry for a long time, and I hope you can give us some food to satisfy our hunger!"Mr. Liu agreed, so he used a clean cup to hold water and rice, recited the mantra of change into food seven times, and sprinkled it in the bamboo bush.Not long after, the unjust souls replied: "We are all very full, thank you!"
Mr. Liu lit incense and candles in the open space in the back window, invited Amitabha Buddha, and recited the mantra of rebirth, the Heart Sutra, the mantra of great compassion and the names of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.Those unjust souls said, "Look at it quickly!As soon as Amitabha Buddha invited him, he stood outside the window, looking at the Buddha's solemn six-meter-meter-old golden body.Everyone, please clean up quickly and follow the Buddha to be reborn in the Pure Land!"At this time, Liu Jingmi's wife Jiang Zhixi asked in the room, "Did you see the Pure Land?"What does it look like?"Mr. Liu replied: "I saw it!It is completely consistent with the Pure Land scriptures."
Before they were reborn in the Pure Land, those souls were diligently thanking Mr. Liu and said, "Thank you very much for your help, so that the grudges we have made in our birth will be resolved in an instant.We have been interfering with Nie for many years, causing her to suffer from frequent suffering. Now we rely on the guidance of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to be reborn in the Pure Land.I hope you can be compassionate and encourage Ms. Nie to chant Buddha's name and be reborn in the West together.When you and Mrs. Zun will be reborn in the West another day, we will definitely come to greet you with Amitabha!"After saying that, it became quiet.
An hour later, Ms. Nie woke up.Mr. Liu asked her, and she replied, "Just now, I seemed to be in my sleep. I saw the streets to the west and saw a group of cows pounced at me in a fierce manner. I saw blood dripping on their necks. It was very terrible!When I was anxious, I suddenly heard your voice. The realm in front of me suddenly changed. The land was flat and the scenery was pleasant. I suddenly smelled the very pleasant fragrance of food. The cattle were eating happily in the forest and even danced.I don't know much about the scene again."From then on, Ms. Nie no longer was fooled by the wronged souls, and she also began to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name.
In the spring of 1934, Mr. Liu Jingmi became a monk in Xikang, and his Dharma name was "Huiding". This is the true story recorded before he became a monk.
