The four backgrounds of children (repaying gratitude, complaining, collecting debts, paying off debts)
Children and husband and wife are all the karma of the past and the inspiration of this life. Therefore, Master Shandao also said:
There are millions of parents, wives and children. It is not Bodhi that increases the predestined relationship.
If you don't practice Buddhism, all karma is entangled, and everyone hugs together and falls, and you can't get out of the cycle of life and death.
If you really love our children and our family members, you should love them with Buddhism, not with love. "I will make a little money for him, and I will make a building for him." This is not pure, "children and grandchildren." We have our own children and grandchildren, and don’t be a horse cow for our children and grandchildren.” Everyone is in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, and they are still fighting for the second and third generations-we should leave some time to consider our future events. , Stay calm in the Pure Land of Bliss, do what we should do in the family, and be calm.
This letting go is mainly about letting go of the heart, not saying "I'm not doing anything." You can't do this. You are led by your karma. You don't do anything unless you become a monk. You are a monk and no one wants it now, because you are too old, right? What do you do when you become a monk? Nor can do things for the Dharma, which will bring a drag on the permanent residence.
Therefore, with our current status and status, we settle our minds in the Pure Land of Bliss, recite the Buddha according to circumstances, and be indifferent to the situation.
Children come from four sources: one is called repaying grievances, one is called grievances, one is debt repayment, and the other is debt collection.
Everyone can understand, "Debt collector...", I met a debt collector. It was really a debt collector. There is a house next to our Hongyuan Temple. My mother believes in Christianity, but the man doesn’t believe in any religion. Okay, turn around, we will find him some work, look at the venue, and send him some money. They have a child who is about seven or eight years old. He spent tens of thousands in the hospital for treatment. He has been suffering from kidney disease since he was a child. Isn't this a debt collection? His family is very poor. In the countryside, he spends tens of thousands of dollars on treatment, and then he has to go for treatment. In the monastery that day, our Master said to the side: "So-and-so, you want to recite the Buddha, don't come to collect debts." The master told the child.
What are you listening to this kid? "I want to come to collect debts." He said he wanted to come to collect debts.
His mother felt unlucky when he heard this, so she covered his mouth and refused to let him speak. He opened his fucking hand and said, "I just want to collect debts."
The mage said, "Don't talk nonsense, what debt are you collecting?"
He said, "What debt do I ask for? I ask for a disease (he said he asks for a disease, a sick disease), and I have to ask for a bigger disease!"
Look at it! Is it accidental that such a small child, only seven or eight years old, said this? This is not accidental, this is the debt collection.
People in the world often don’t look away from their children, and treat him as a darling baby since he was a child. They have worked for him, spent money for him, cherished him, and waited until he was seventeen or eighteen or nineteen, and counted on him to become an adult. Hey, he He died and left. Then the parents beat their chests and feet there, "Oh my son, I finally raised you up, I hope you inherit the style, I hope you..." How or how, in fact, they left after the debt was filled and couldn't stay. of. When you come to your house to collect debts, if the money is given, they will leave. Where will they stay in your house? You are still sad there! This is unnecessary! We don't have a clear vision. If we look at the past and the future, this is all false and meaningless.
How does debt collection behave? He was frail and sick since he was a child, wasting his family's wealth, and when he was about to start a family and start a business, and expect him to earn money, he said, "Hey, the debt is full, I will go." If you don’t please, keep begging until your house is ruined and exhausted, and then he becomes a beggar and wanders on the street-a lot! The prodigal is to collect debts. If your past wealth is unrighteous, he will ask you in this life.
This debt collection is very powerful! It's better than government officials and thieves. He sits next to your house and makes you unable to become your son, and then destroy your family. This is a debt collection.
What is the debt repayment? You were kind to him in the past, and he owed you financially, then he worked hard this time he came, and he has been very diligent since he was a child. After it was full, he also let go, why? "I owe you so much." He said, "My son is good! He can work so well and can help me earn money. He left at such a young age!" He came to pay off his debts, he is full, and he can't stay here anymore, just Bye Bye, let's go, let you cry there—a fake cry. We are sad, vain, and don't understand the truth.
What is the reward? He was very filial to his parents when he came, because he was grateful for the kindness of his parents to him in his past lives. He was filial and obedient. He could bear no matter how harshly he was beaten or scolded, and he was very filial and considerate to his parents. of.
What is the complaint? If you have a straight eyebrow and a vertical eye, you are not polite to you in any way, that is, you are not filial and disobey your parents, because you have a bad relationship with him in the past life.
Everyone must have a very plain mind. The baby was born, and the young mother held her little son so much that she loved it ──I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse, who knows? "Oh, baby." After more than ten years, that kind of love will disappear. "I knew this, I didn't give birth to you in the first place." If you didn't give birth to him in the first place, it wouldn't work.
What shall we do? Come to recite the Buddha! All these things are plain. As long as you recite Buddhism frequently, your past karma will change. If you come to collect debts, you will naturally go away. After you recite the Buddha, this debt collector will collect from three to eighteen years old. Maybe he will leave when he is ten years old. The parents cried there and said, " Why did my son die early when I read Buddhism?" You don’t know. He saved you eight years of time. Because of reciting Buddhism, he resolved the wrongdoing. He left. You still expect to beg your family ruin at home. NS? If you recite the Buddha, he can't ask for it, "Oh? This family has changed for the better"; or give him a favor, it will be beneficial, and it will be resolved naturally. So, this is not a bad thing.
There are many things. We are not an Arahant. We don’t know the front and back, so it’s difficult to know. We must have a firm belief in major events: as long as we recite the Buddha and follow the natural operation of the name Amitabha, everything will be transformed in a good direction. Will say it will go bad.
"Enemies become hated and prosper their descendants": Originally the enemy's creditor was reborn, but now he has become a filial son. Only in this way are the descendants of our true Buddhahood and practice. Only in this way can the family be happy and faithful to the Dharma. .
