Soon it was time for dinner, so I told Uncle Ma and the temple leader what happened during the day. Uncle Ma didn’t say anything, but the temple leader shook his head and told us that in fact, there are many pilgrims who are disrespectful to the gods. Yes, some do not understand etiquette, and some simply do not understand respect.
Therefore, even if someone like this doesn't revere the gods, it won't be a good fate even if they meet an immortal.
Even their every move in the temple is actually watched by the gods. After all, the saying that there are gods at the top of your head is not just talk.
The master of the temple is right. Everyone's karma and blessings are actually borne by themselves. Whatever the cause is, the result will be.
But at this time, Ma Yunfeng asked the viewer another question.
Most people in the world know the saying that there is a god three feet above our heads, but who is this god who is above our heads every day?
Regarding Ma Yunfeng's question, the visitor also laughed, and then told us the meaning of this sentence.
He said, first of all, this sentence comes from "Zengguang Xianwen·Part 1", and it says: The two elders in the hall are living Buddhas, so why use the spiritual mountain to pay homage to the World Honored One. In all things, I advise people not to hide anything, and there is a god in the sky.
It means that there are gods three feet above everyone's head who are watching over you. Therefore, people are advised to abide by the bottom line of morality and principles when doing things, and do not do things that violate public order and good customs, otherwise the gods three feet above your head will look at you. It is crystal clear that the so-called karma is not happy at all.
Then the god who is responsible for supervising us is the Three Taipei Dou Shenjun.
"Tai Shang Induction Chapter" says: "There are also three Taipei God Lords, who record people's sins on people's heads and take away their records. The three stars are named Beidou God Lords, and they are responsible for good and evil, life and death, longevity, wealth and poverty. .”
"Santai" and "Beidou" are both star names. These gods hover over people's heads. If anyone does something bad, it cannot be hidden from the eyes of Santai and Beidou, and they will record people's sins. According to the person's thoughts, words and actions, they are divided into serious and serious, and then blessings will increase or decrease, life will increase or decrease, etc.
The three Taibei Dou Shenjuns are: Xu Jing Kai De Xing Jun in the middle stage, Si Kong Xing Jun in Liu Chun in the middle stage, and Si Lu Xing Jun in the lower stage.
These three gods accompany people in life and death, recording people's sins and taking away their records. He will remember when people do evil, and he will remember when people do good. The Three Taipei Dou Shenjun secretly records people's misfortunes and fortunes, and calculates people's blessings and fortunes.
Everyone should note here that there are three main points monitored by the Three Taipei Dou Shenjun: thoughts, words and actions.
In other words, even if you have not done anything evil, but your words hurt others, it is still an evil act. Even if you say nothing or do nothing, you have evil thoughts in your heart.
For example, Ma Yunfeng saw a beautiful woman on the street. Although he did nothing, he already had evil thoughts in his heart and lusted after her.
Then the three gods will write it down for you in a small notebook: Ma Yunfeng lusted after a woman on the street at a certain time of a certain year, month, and day, and fantasized about dirty things. He reported it to the leader and asked the leader to punish him with another knife in the butt. .
Of course, there is also an interesting fact here, that is, the gods around us seem to be only responsible for recording. If it is a blessing, they will not care. We need to make a sincere wish and pray, or have a mage type a list and write it directly to the mailbox. Heaven.
However, if you make a wish on your own, generally if you have no merit, and if you are not pious enough, then your mind power is not enough, and the probability of your wish being successful is low.
But if you ask a mage to send it on the clock, it is equivalent to sending a registered letter or SF Express, and basically the gods in the sky can receive it.
Therefore, your power to pray at home is very weak, but your power to go to the temple to pray is strong.
For example, it's like we work hard every day and then want to apply for a salary increase. It's useless for you to think about it at home. Unless your performance is outstanding and your boss pays more attention to you, then you may get it in private. Opportunity for a salary increase, otherwise it will be useless if you talk about it at home every day.
So according to the normal process, you have to write an application and submit it to the department supervisor first. After the supervisor approves it, you can then report it to the department manager.
After the superiors receive the report, they will decide whether to give you a salary increase and how much based on your usual performance and performance.
Note that praying for blessings and applying for a salary increase are essentially the same. We can submit it for you, but whether to approve or not is a matter for your superiors. It also depends on your usual work performance. These things are all comprehensive. It seems that nothing is absolute.
Why do I say that we should all be good people and do good deeds? This is actually equivalent to your performance in this world. When you apply for a salary increase, it can increase your success rate.
Closer to home, we asked some questions from the contemporaries, drank tea for a while, and watched the contemporaries write for a while. At this time, another Taoist priest took the initiative to play the piano for us.
Life in this temple is very pleasant, so we drank tea, read the calligraphy, and listened to the guqin. In a trance, our souls seemed to have left the noisy world and returned to purity.
The afternoon passed quickly and we returned to our residence to meditate and rest.
In other words, the three of us meditate, each with its own characteristics.
Ma Yunfeng was being dishonest as he sat there. He was picking at his feet and scratching his thighs, and was wandering back and forth, grinning, as if he had lice on his body.
From time to time, he would open his eyes to look at Uncle Ma and me, feeling that he meant that if Uncle Ma and I were motionless, he might run away.
When it comes to staying still, I can't do it. I can't hold it for about twenty minutes at most, and my legs are numb.
But I really admire Uncle Ma. He sat there without moving, lowered his head and closed his eyes. From my angle, it looked like he was dead...
I'm sorry, Uncle Ma, you won't be angry if I say this to you, right?
But when I listened carefully, Uncle Ma was sitting there, motionless, but he was snoring...
I was speechless for a while, thinking that Master was asking us to meditate and practice, but he sat there and fell asleep first.
In this case, I won’t be polite!
So, I just lay down on the spot, closed my eyes, and fell asleep comfortably.
Anyway, during dinner later, someone will come and shout...
Time passed slowly, and I didn’t know what time it was. Suddenly, I heard someone really shouting outside.
"Taoist Priests...Taoist Priests, something happened, please save people quickly..."
