I stopped when I heard this, turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, if you have anything to say, just say it. What I said just now has no other meaning. It just means that you are sincere, don't get me wrong."
He looked at me and said: "Little brother, I don't have any other intention. I just want you to give me a look. Your master said that your path is different from his, so I can take a look at all aspects. Is there nothing wrong?"
There is indeed nothing wrong with this, and I couldn't refuse, so I had to say to him: "With all due respect, Mr. Zhao, you have not been able to rest well in recent years, have severe insomnia, are often upset and short of breath, and are upset by everything you see. , lose your temper, and always wake up from nightmares. Also, not only is your career not going well, you should still be childless, either because it is difficult for your wife to get pregnant, or because you cannot keep the child, am I right? "
He looked at me, the expression on his face slowly changed from gloomy to clear, and said with a smile: "Yes, little brother is really capable. In fact, I didn't hear the rest of what you said clearly, just remember the previous sentence Oh, you said worshiping gods cannot atone for sins, right?"
I couldn't help but sweat, thinking to myself, since you didn't hear me clearly, why are you trying to scare me so weirdly?
He added: "What you just said is basically correct. Now I want to ask you, what does it mean that worshiping gods cannot atone for sins?"
This time I didn't dare to answer hastily. I looked at Uncle Ma first.
Uncle Ma coughed twice and stepped forward and said: "Mr. Zhao, don't take it seriously. Of course worshiping gods can atone for your sins. The Buddha said that you should put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. What he said just now was something I taught you before, and he was praising you. …”
Mr. Zhao waved his hand: "It's okay, Brother Ma, let him tell me. I just want to know whether worshiping gods can atone for sins? Don't tell me anything about putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately. Buddhism is most about good and evil." Cause and effect, that statement is just a lie."
Unexpectedly, he became serious, and Uncle Ma had no choice but to turn around, wink at me secretly, and said: "In this case, Xiaofan, please tell Mr. Zhao, be careful not to talk nonsense."
Uncle Ma knew that I had the energy to say anything when I came up, so he was just giving me a heads up.
So I thought about it and said to Mr. Zhao: "Actually, worshiping gods can atone for sins. This is true, because when people commit sins, they are not only governed by human laws, but also inspected by gods in heaven, who write down their records one by one in the account. . If a person commits a sin and can repent and make amends in time, he can indeed atone for his sin."
Mr. Zhao nodded, his expression softening slightly.
However, I changed the topic and said to him: "But this crime also depends on the specific situation. It does not mean that everything can be resolved by kneeling down and kowtow to the gods. The so-called putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately refers to the openness of the human heart." Enlightenment.”
I told him that this sentence is actually a Buddhist saying that urges people to change their evil ways and do good. It means that once evildoers realize their crimes and are determined to change, they can still quickly become good people.
Putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately does not mean that he became a Buddha as soon as he put down the butcher's knife.
The Buddhist saying of "putting down the butcher's knife" does not refer to the actual butcher's knife that kills people.
The "butcher's knife" here refers to malice, evil words, evil deeds, and all delusions, delusions, confusion, confusion, discrimination, and attachment.
If a bad person begins to repent of his past bad deeds and aspires to embark on the path of becoming a Buddha, he will not be able to achieve the result until he can truly let go of these things.
But this sentence is easy to say. How many people in the world can truly let go of everything?
Therefore, the phrase "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately" means: put down your delusions, evil thoughts, and attachments, and you will become a Buddha!
When Mr. Zhao heard this, he felt like he was in a fog, and he was in a daze. After I said this, I continued without being humble or arrogant: "But some people's situations are different, such as those murderers who are responsible for murders and have heavy blood debts. , or evil people who kill people and do many evil things. Even if these people put down their butcher's knives, their enemies and creditors will not put down their butcher's knives. Why can you become a Buddha if you put down your butcher's knife, and those people were killed in vain? Therefore, in my opinion Come on, even if you put down the butcher knife, you may not become a Buddha, because there are still karmic obstacles following you!"
I paused for a moment, then pointed behind him, and said calmly: "Just like this ghost behind you, if she doesn't let you go, even the gods can't do anything."
As soon as I said this, his calm expression suddenly changed. He glanced behind him subconsciously, and then asked quickly.
"Little brother, is there really something following me?"
"Yes, a woman with blood on her body, a scary look on her face, a vicious look, and a lot of resentment."
"What on earth is she going to do?"
"It's not clear, but from the look of her, she probably wants to... take your life."
Mr. Zhao looked shocked and a little panicked, but he still tried his best to suppress it and tried to look relaxed.
Uncle Ma hurriedly came to smooth things over: "Xiaofan, you child, how can you say such things casually? How did I teach you before? I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, this child has a straight temper and will say whatever he sees, but don't worry , as long as you are sincere, as long as you trust us and promise to send this ghost away for you, this is no problem."
On the surface, Uncle Ma seemed to be teaching me a lesson, but in fact, he was proving that what I just said was true.
And he also hinted that Mr. Zhao can solve the problem as long as he is sincere and willing to pay.
At this time, Mr. Wang also saw that something was wrong, and came over and said: "You guys are talking in a scary way, Lao Zhao, don't take it seriously. I have already said that Brother Ma is so smart. Look at how old this kid is. You can see it at a glance, don’t you agree? Hahahahaha, don’t worry, it will be no problem if you leave it to them.”
Mr. Wang also came to smooth things over, but I shook my head at this time and said to them: "It's not that simple. Let me tell the truth, we can solve Mr. Zhao's matter, but we have no control over it. Please forgive me. "
Uncle Ma's face also looked a bit wrong, but then he thought about it and sighed.
"Yes, Xiaofan is right. We can solve it, but it's really out of our control. The cause and effect is too much to bear. Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhao, why don't we just forget it."
Mr. Zhao heard this and said: "Brother Ma, money is not an issue. I know you can definitely help me solve it. As long as you set a price, any amount will do."
As he said that, he took out his wallet, took out two bundles of hundred-dollar bills, and put them on the table. Then after thinking about it, he simply put the entire wallet on them.
"Brother Ma, I'm not short of money. All I want is to solve the problem. If this isn't enough, I'll ask someone to send you money right away!"
Good guy, this is really rich, just throwing money at people!
"Well...actually it's not about money..."
Uncle Ma touched his chin and frowned, seeming to be making a very difficult decision.
I understand Uncle Ma very well, because both of us have already seen at this time that this Mr. Zhao has no ordinary problem.
He is charged with murder and is a murderer!
