Master Xuanhua: How should I die after my parents die?

Master Xuanhua’s compassionate teachings:

Burning paper money is not good.Because you burned the paper ash and made the place messy.And I often say this truth, you all should know it.

Ghosts don’t need much money; ghosts want to use money, then they are not as good as humans.If a ghost wants to use money, it will also make money by itself. If you don’t need someone to give it money, it will do it.Who gives us humans? No one makes money for us humans, it is humans who think of this method to make this money.So since a person can make money, why does ghosts need people to give it money? If you burn paper money, then you can use it? Especially ghosts don’t need to use money, and they don’t need to bribe everywhere.

So if the ghosts use paper money, Westerners do not burn paper money, and those ghosts will become poor ghosts, and they will all become beggars without money? This makes no sense.There is no such truth in the world, so people should be smarter.This is the custom of those foolish men and women spreading rumors.

Especially this person is dead, oh! A big plane is made of paper.Can the paper-paste plane be used when it is burned? The paper-paste plane, especially when it turns into dust, how can that person get on that plane? Think about it! Another car is burned, another car is burned with paper-paste car, this is a scam! These are those who do business, trying their best to cheat people’s money, so take advantage of your weakness.

What weaknesses?

Your weakness of greed.You are greedy, he says, "Oh! This ghost also wants money, he has whatever you burn for him.If you burn a train, he will have a train; if you burn a plane, he will have a plane; if you burn, hey! If you burn this little car, he will have a little car."This is totally too funny! It's too funny! There's no reason.

There is no such reason, so why do ordinary people still have to spend a lot of money to buy this thing to burn? It's just a greed.That greedy person, others are so greedy, he thinks that ghosts are also greedy ghosts, and that's it.joymoney.

In fact, even if he is happy about money, it will turn into dust. How can he use that? What's the use of dust? If dust is money, it will be like money before the paper is burned, so after it is burned, it will still be money? Do you believe this? I believe this is the kind of greed that makes people suffer.

Also, now you say that this person is so confused that he looks like this, saying yes, ghosts need money, so before he died, he burned a lot of gold and silver, paper horses, saying that he would deposit it in the underworld bank, and in the bank where King Yama, and that he would die, he would have money to use it.You said that if this person was not like a pig, how could he be like this?

Think about it, why doesn’t he think: “Ah! I go to the Pure Land, I don’t want anything anymore, I don’t have these long-winded words."He doesn't think so, he's going to hell.Hell, he thought there was a bank there to deposit.Ha! When King Yama saw you coming, "Good thing! You greedy ghost! I'll tell you to eat feces."Send him to be the bug in that shit pit.

So, you all want to use your realwisdom，Let's break this superstition.What is superstition in Buddhism? This is superstition.

Those monks also encouraged, "Burn more! Burn more!" Look, it made people: "Oh! That mage asked me to cook more."Look, I thought it was true! Because he wouldn't lie! People all know that this monk is not lie! Don't tell lies! He didn't expect him to join forces with this businessman to lie, he couldn't expect.So, you all must deeply understand this.

After I told you, you should promote this truth everywhere. Remember not to burn paper money and gold foil, burn these things.This is really useless! It's a waste of money in the world!

Therefore, this is called "chasing far away".If you can remember your parents' grace forever, even if he dies, he will go to worship the mountain this spring, just to kowtow to a few heads and put on a stick of incense. This is OK.There is no need to burn paper money; burning paper money is really useless.I know, if I were a ghost, I would really hate it so much if anyone gave me such a pile of dust.

So this requires truth, so "be careful to pursue the far-reaching situation."

Conspicuously recorded from [Selected Interpretation of the Analects of Confucius]

Master Xuanhua’s compassionate teachings:

Although money is fake, everyone is fascinated by it.Not only do people love money, but even ghosts love money.Living people try their best to make money; ghosts cannot make money without a job, but they also have ways to make money, and he asks them to burn paper money for him.In fact, ghosts do not need money. Burning paper money is a superstition. It is a waste of money and turning real money into paper ash. This idea is really foolish!

There is a custom in Asia that when people are alive, they burn a lot of paper money themselves, thinking that they can be a rich ghost when they die.Or use deposits to bribe Yan Jun to reduce his crime.

But he knew that Yan Jun was a selfless judge. He was not allowed to accept any bribes in public trial. It would be a waste of his scheming to bribe him.

Anyone with this kind of thinking thinks that money can help the gods and that money can work everywhere. The so-called "money can make the devil push the grind" is a very wrong idea.Such a person will definitely fall into hell after he dies.Why? Because when he was alive, he must have done something against his conscience. In order to save the pain after death, he burned a lot of paper money and prepared to give corrupt officials a red envelope to buy some convenience.This kind of thought is deceiving yourself, how ridiculous!

About burning paper thread - Master Xuanhua's answers

Question: Is the seal of the sutra and mantra effective on the money for rebirth? Is it effective if it is burned?

Master Xuanhua replied: It turns into ashes after burning! How do I know if it turns into ashes? If it turns into ashes, it turns into ashes, then Westerners do not burn paper money. Are they allHungry ghostIs it?

Question: What's the reason for burning ingots and burning paper money to ancestors?

Master Xuanhua replied: If this makes sense, Westerners are poor. If you want to study the truth, you must not be superstitious.

Believers: Last time I asked the Bodhisattva to treat my illness at Jinshan Temple. Now that I have recovered, I have printed three hundred mantras of white-clothed priests to make a relationship, and I have also prepared paper money to burn it.

Master Xuanhua replied: Buddhism does not burn paper money, nor does it recite the mantra of the white-clothed master. (So he took it back. )

Question: How should Master save his ancestors and follow the Dharma? Should he include their relatives who have experienced tribulations? Or should the Yin Spirits attached to our family, this foundation ancestor, also should heal them?

Master Xuanhua replied: In fact, the salvation of parents and ancestors comes from a filial piety, which is salvation.There is no need to burn paper for them, no need to spend money, no need to do anything else.Then of course, chanting sutras and salvation in Buddhism is part of the method. If you truly save your ancestors, you will not lose your temper.Don’t listen to the ignorant people. Before they die, they have to deposit money in the underworld bank and wait until they die and go there to use it.This is extremely ignorant! It is not what humans should have at all, it is already a ghost!

Question: How should my parents die?

Master Xuanhua replied: Those who are dead should be treated as if they are alive,

The so-called "all the rituals are lost, all the sacrifices are sincere",

Sacrifices should be sincere and great wisdom.

Don't be too superstitious.

Don't be as superstitious as some places.

Burn clothes, gold, silver and treasures,

Burn trains, ships, and planes,

This is really superstitious, it cannot be like this!

Don't burn money to make paper.

That's a waste of money and useless.
