Baby, mommy is going to tell you these two words today, destiny.
Destiny is two words, and they must be viewed separately.
"Fate", when the font is broken down, people have only one life. "Knock" on the board is fixed and cannot be changed.
"Luck", first write "cloud", which is ethereal, intangible and invisible. "Guo" rides on the clouds, which requires us to act manually and do it step by step.
Therefore, destiny is determined. From the day you are born, your birth date is destined to be good, but luck can be changed the day after tomorrow, so you have to do it and take action.
For example, my mother, my destiny is to take over this business. If my birth date is placed in any Taoist temple or temple, the master will say that this child is the chosen one. But I am not a monk, and I have a baby, you, Life is also very satisfying because of luck.
Fate is fixed, but luck can be changed. This is why the horoscopes are sometimes accurate and sometimes not, because there are variables.
In ancient times, Yuan Liaofan defied heaven and changed his fate. What he changed was not fate, but luck.
"If a person can sincerely try his best to do good and tirelessly, his destiny will be uncertain. Otherwise, his destiny will not be able to protect him."
Confucianism says: "My destiny is created by me, and happiness is sought by myself." Seeking is not about seeking from outside, but seeking from oneself and within.
One day in 2016, I suddenly woke up and knelt in front of the incense burner, determined to do charity.
From that day on, our family only received rice, flour, oil and food from divination, and all of them were given to those in need.
I have been working for two years, and every time I deliver rice, flour, oil and food to the nursing home of the five-guarantee households.
When I came here for the first time, I couldn't stop crying. The houses that each grandparent lived in were in very poor conditions. They were covered with cotton covers instead of quilts, piece by piece.
In this way, I persisted for two years. Every time I went, the mute grandfathers were waiting for me at the gate and welcomed me with hoarse voices that they could not pronounce.
"Ah~ah~ah~"
Some applauded, I knew they liked me, and I felt it was all worth it.
I have been working in this industry since I graduated from college. I never thought about having a job because the older generation of masters said that there would be no job in this industry.
So I never dared to think about it.
One day in 2017, I plucked up the courage, signed up, and lit incense in the hall before the exam.
"Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Patriarchs, bosses... tell me if I can change my luck, prove once, whether I am on the right path, and whether you can see the good intentions and good deeds I have done, so that I can continue on firmly, okay?" ?
I put my schoolbag on and went to take the exam. To be honest, I relied entirely on my foundation and without any preparation. I got the second best score in the written exam and successfully entered the exam.
I was shocked. In the Buddhist hall, I suddenly felt that everything happened so suddenly.
A few days later, on the day of the interview, my name was called outside the examination room. When the first person in front of me was called, no one answered. She abstained from voting until the examination room was closed.
In other words, as long as I am not mute during the interview and just open my mouth, I will be selected.
In this way, I rewrote the cursed prophecy of this industry from ancient times to the present.
But now, I have no job, and I will have a lot of bumpy experiences in the future. My mother will definitely tell you about it. She doesn’t want you to follow the path I have walked.
That day I firmly believed that Yuan Liaofan’s story was true.
In the usual reception, many people ask, "Master, you always say you should change your luck, how do you change it?"
In fact, when a person is born, he has an opportunity to change his luck, and that is his name.
Why a name?
Because a name is a blessing. When a good name is called once, it is a kind of mental blessing. The more you call it, the better it gets.
On the contrary, a bad name also brings bad energy.
This is why my mother only gave her a full name, but there is a saying that "the full moon means profit and loss." Therefore, when my mother chooses her name, she will not give full marks based on some insignificant aspects to resolve it.
In fact, having said that, everything is an arrangement of fate. When I first entered college, I studied foreign languages. After passing many exams, I changed to Chinese language and literature. I studied ancient Chinese and ancient literature every day, which laid the foundation for my name.
I still remember that when I named my first child, I was a complete novice, and my boss was behind me to guide me. The name I came up with was two words "amazing", and the parents were very satisfied.
Many children at that time had magical names, and they are now shining brightly in different fields.
Having said that, the name is only a small aspect, and more depends on your acquired efforts, diligence, the people you meet, the environment, your mentality...
For example, if my mother knew that this is what I would do in this life, then I would not work hard, do good deeds, and just be ignorant, how could I end up where I am today?
Maybe I'm already terminally ill with hematuria, and things in this world are essentially "impermanent."
Therefore, baby, you are not just dreaming or talking, but you are going to do it. "Luck" is to take action.
Some people claim to be: "I believe in Buddhism and I always listen to Buddhist songs."
I would say: "Then why do you listen instead of read out?"
Others said: "Master, I always chant sutras when I have nothing to do, right?"
I said, "Okay, that's right, but do you understand the meaning of this sutra? The Buddha and Bodhisattvas left sutras in the hope that the world would wake up, rather than memorize them rigidly."
Another person said: "Master, I also want to do good deeds, release animals, go to the temple to make offerings...".
I would say: "Everything is right, the intention is good, then take action. The elders in the family should be filial first, and then export it to the outside world. Be sure to worship the Buddha at home first."
So slow down, observe yourself, see where you are lacking, and then do it step by step...
