To be honest, I was quite speechless. I told him that any religious ceremony is actually an auxiliary function. Buddhist rituals may change a person's character and circumstances, but only if you want to change yourself and are willing to do it. effort.
If you only rely on me to perform rituals, and you continue to be as before, not making progress every day, being too lazy to ask for help, and having to be fed when you eat, then the rituals will be of no use to you.
This person listened to my words and said, "You can do a ritual for me and I will go out to find a job tomorrow. Is that okay?"
I said that's fine, I'll do a ritual for you that can improve your fortune, gather noble people, and break up villains, and then I'll help you with your career and your marriage.
But there is a premise. I don’t recommend that you use credit cards to do things. Credit cards are a trap. The more you use, the more you use them, the interest will add up, and you will never be able to pay them off again.
And you said that you are already so poor, why not use the money from doing business to start a small business? Even if you buy some goods and set up a street stall, you can at least make a living, right?
He didn't care and told me it didn't matter. He already owed tens of thousands on his credit card anyway, so it wasn't that bad, as long as the ritual was effective!
I said you should think carefully about it. I am advising you not to swipe your credit card to do rituals. And I told you that the effect of rituals varies from person to person. Don’t look for trouble to refund the money later. I’m out in this winter. Getting things done is not easy either.
He said that's not possible. Although I am poor, I am reasonable and cannot mess around with you.
Then he asked another question, Master, when will this ritual take effect, how long will it be effective, and to what extent will the effect be achieved?
I don't know whether to laugh or cry, because I often encounter these three questions, but I really can't answer them, because they vary from person to person, and there is no standard answer at all.
I told you not to ask these questions. I can't just open my mouth and I don't want to deceive you. Just think that sincerity will lead to success.
Because practicing errands is not a deal with gods, nor is it taking injections and taking medicine, so there must be an onset time and expiration date?
The purpose of doing something is to pray to God on your behalf, asking the gods to care and bless you. If you want to ask about the effect and validity period, it depends on your own blessings, your own karma, and whether you are sincere.
The above three points are the most important, but unfortunately, most people in the world only focus on the first three points and ignore these three most critical points.
Therefore, you should be cautious of those who promise you the results of rituals, such as someone telling you that performing a certain ritual will be very good for you and your wealth will improve instantly. You should be careful with such people, because they are obviously deceiving you.
If you casually give your money to this kind of person to do things for you, then her fortune will rise all of a sudden, instead of your fortune.
All in all, the man paid the money happily in the end, and I went to handle the legal affairs for him that afternoon.
Needless to say, it was very hard to do the work in the winter, with the temperature being more than 20 degrees below zero. I placed the ingots in bags one after another. When I lit the fire, my hands were numb from the cold, and it took a long time to light it.
Fortunately, the fire warmed him up, and I sincerely spoke to him, hoping that he would get out of his current situation and get better soon.
Then two days later, he told me that he had found a job as a salesperson in a computer company, and the salary was pretty good.
I'm very happy for him. To be honest, for me, being able to help others and make everyone get better little by little through this is far more fulfilling than making money myself.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After more than ten days, he found me again and said that he resigned.
I asked him why, and he told me a little embarrassedly that he couldn't get up in the morning because it was too cold...
Therefore, he plans to wait for another winter and wait until the weather gets better after the New Year before going out to find a job.
I was speechless.
I said you, you, you can’t even endure a winter, and even getting up to go to work in the morning has become a stumbling block for you, what else can you do?
He kept apologizing to me and said, otherwise, please see if there are any quick fixes, such as the Five Ghosts to bring wealth or something. You can bring some to me, because my credit card has been overdue recently, and I also want to work to make money. But that one was too slow, and it was too cold...
I said I'm sorry, I don't know how to use the five ghosts to make money, and I can't use the five ghosts to make money. I only have the righteous method here, and there is no magic. I can only assist, not quick success.
If you want to seek wealth quickly, it will definitely consume your future wealth and blessings, and there will be backlash.
He said it doesn't matter, just let the backlash come back. I'm already a person who uses credit cards to get by, am I still afraid of consuming my future blessings?
I said what you think is simple, this backlash is not only targeting you, but also targeting me!
He said, Master, please show mercy and save me.
I said I can't save you, don't talk about me, Guanyin Bodhisattva will have to carry the train and run away overnight when he sees you.
He was a little puzzled, and then asked me, Master, aren't you a fortune teller? Can't you figure out that I don't want to go to work in winter? Can't you give me a better suggestion? Just show mercy and save me.
My head is buzzing, and I am right when I say that I am a fortune teller, but fortune telling cannot save the world, nor can it save anyone, because you don’t want to save yourself at all.
I have indeed calculated that as long as you work hard, your life will not be bad, but it is a pity that you have given up on yourself.
It's true that you are in a black hole now, and I want to pull you out, but first you have to figure it out yourself.
As a result, you are afraid of the cold and getting up early, so you can only stay in that warm bed or in that black hole.
Finally, I gave him a message: People always have to go through hardships to grow. You can't rely on rituals and external forces for everything, but the role of this hardship is to make you grow. If you sink because of this and don't want to make progress, don't talk about me, God of Wealth. I can't save you either.
At this time, he asked another very stupid question: Master, can you help me win the first lottery? Please ask the God of Wealth to let me win once. I am not greedy, and the second prize will be fine.
I was so angry that I was sorry to say that, but the God of Wealth just said that he would not take your order!
I later told Uncle Ma about this matter, and he couldn't help but laugh. Then he said to me seriously: "Actually, this person may not be simply lazy and unenterprising. In my opinion, he is not capable enough. He always wants to do big things, so he repeatedly hits the wall. As the saying goes, he is too high-spirited and has high ambitions but low ambitions. That's what I'm talking about."
What Uncle Ma said makes sense, but I also know that some people are actually quite diligent, can endure hardships, and are quite kind-hearted, but they can't live a good life no matter what.
