Wang Xuefu was so excited that he asked Mrs. Liu to take him to see Zhai Ma. Zhai Ma once again talked about the benefits of fasting, and also gave him a book "Three Worlds of Cause and Effect" for him to go home and read. After reading it, he was particularly inspired by four sentences. What about those four sentences? That is, "If you want to know the cause of the past life, what you will receive in this life is right; if you want to know the consequences of the future life, what you will do in this life is right."
Wang Xuefu is a regular college student, and he understood immediately. He felt that most of the time he suffered from cancer, he had caused bad karma in his previous life and was being repaid in this life. Thinking of this, he felt relieved. He thought that this kind of bad karma was equivalent to a debt. Now that he accepted it, although it was uncomfortable, he was also paying off the debt and eliminating karma. Isn't it good? Once you have paid off your debts and eliminated your karma, won’t you feel at ease?
What’s even more remarkable is that Zhai Ma said that by practicing vegetarianism, karma can be eliminated and diseases can be cured. In this way, his confidence doubled, and when he returned the finished book "Three Worlds of Cause and Effect" to Zhai Ma, Zhai Ma said, "No need to return it, you can also give it to others to read, so that others or more people can be enlightened." Benefit, you also have merit.
Wang Xuefu thanked him. Zhai Ma also gave him some Buddhist books and advised him to recite sutras and recite Buddha's name, saying that only in this way can the human soul be liberated to a special state. That is, after a person dies, the immortal soul can be reborn in the Western Paradise, and there will be no death. It is necessary to reincarnate in the three evil realms, and not in the three good realms, because the three good realms are not ultimate. After enjoying all the good blessings, there is still the danger of falling.
Of course, now that you understand the truth, or that your mind has seen your true nature, you, who have always been confused, can be reborn as your true nature in the treasury of light. In other words, you do not have to be reborn in the Pure Land until your death. It is equivalent to being reborn in the Pure Land right now. How can you see that? You are at ease, you are clear, your mind is free of worries, there is no fear, and you are filled with the joy of Dharma, which is a testimony.
Wang Xuefu listened so much that he almost completely forgot that he was a patient suffering from cancer. He said to his vegetarian mother, "Grandma, I have already started fasting. Is it okay to just eat fast without chanting Buddhist sutras and Buddha's name?"
Zhai Ma said, can that be done? Either way, it's all your choice. Merely eating fast can eliminate karma, and the pain on your body will also be eliminated, but the human soul cannot be liberated. Let me tell you, you have to believe that cattle, sheep and horses all eat grass and are all vegetarian animals!
They practice vegetarianism from birth to death, but their souls cannot be liberated, let alone be reborn in the Western Paradise. what is the reason? They cannot chant sutras, chant mantras and recite Buddha's name. Of course, some people dedicate the merits of chanting sutras, chanting mantras, and chanting Buddha to the corresponding or specific cow, sheep, or horse, and they can also be reborn in the Western Paradise.
And from now on, if you practice vegetarianism, recite sutras, mantras, and recite the Buddha's name, then you will definitely be able to be liberated, and you will walk the Bodhisattva path from life to life, and you will no longer suffer in the six realms. Amitabha!
Soon after Wang Xuefu read several Buddhist books, he made a vow to become a monk. Perhaps fate came. The Amitabha Temple on the Pine Mountain near his home was recruiting monks, so he went to apply, but he was not hired. It was not for other reasons, but because he did not have a monk certificate issued by a Buddhist organization.
It was already three years later that Wang Xuefu applied for further studies at the Central South Buddhist College. However, the college had many requirements for students, one of which required good health. Those with serious illnesses were not accepted. Wang Xuefu was a little anxious, so he bravely went to the Qiyuan County CDC (hospital) in his hometown for a comprehensive physical examination. The results came out. All his original liver cancer cells disappeared, and he became completely healthy. people. At this time, he didn't know how happy he was, and felt that listening to Zhai Ma's vegetarian diet was really effective.
He got excited again and slapped himself. Why slap yourself? He felt that he was too stupid before. He sent the 100,000 yuan he had accumulated over many years of teaching and the 5,000 yuan given to him by the school to the hospital. As a result, the disease was not cured, and he had to go back to his hometown to borrow money for treatment. He was not happy. After borrowing the money, he was lucky enough to meet a vegetarian mother who taught him how to eat fast, and he was able to cure such a severe cancer. That's why he slapped himself to wake himself up.
He was in good health and filled in the word "healthy" in the application form. Wang Xuefu was a well-known college student, so he was naturally admitted to the Central South Buddhist College. After three years of further study, he received a monk's book after graduation. Certificate of conformity. So when I returned to my hometown, I naturally became a monk in the Amitabha Temple on Songbai Mountain, wearing a monk's robe and having his head shaved off.
Wang Xuefu was so popular that the abbot gave him a Buddhist name: Master Yaoguang. Master Yaoguang lived up to him. In addition to teaching sutras and chanting Buddha's name, he also helped take care of the daily affairs of Amitabha Temple. A few years later, the seventy-nine-year-old abbot felt that his time was approaching, so he gathered the monks to hold a ceremony and pass the mantle to Master Yaoguang. Soon after the abbot passed away, Master Yaoguang was promoted to abbot of the temple.
After Qian Jishi talked about his pleasant background relationship with Master Yaoguang, he then told a true story that made Gu Weixing unbelievable. What is it?
It was a midwinter night when the wind was howling and the snow was falling. Qian Jishi noticed something strange in the guest room arranged for him by the temple where he lived. The quilts and quilts on the floor were all wet. It was clear that someone had deliberately filled the room with water. It's cold water. Generally speaking, if it was a few degrees below zero that night, the cold water poured into the quilt should freeze, and the quilt soaked in water should be icy and cold. You simply can't tuck your body into the bed and fall asleep, because who can bear it? It will make people sleep sick.
When Qian Jishi discovered this situation, he didn't feel any resentment, nor did he think about who was harming him. He always thought that others were helping him, and he kept chanting Amitabha and was grateful to Amitabha for helping him.
Strangely enough, he put his hand into the soaked quilt and felt it was warm inside. At first, he just wanted to use his body to warm the quilt. Even if it wasn't warm, he wanted to make do with it for one night. Because it was so late, he didn't want to trouble the temple's logistics staff to change him to a clean quilt that hadn't been soaked in water.
Unexpectedly, the quilt is still hot before I fall asleep. Then he felt grateful again inexplicably. Just like that, he fell into bed and sighed repeatedly: Although the quilt was dripping with water, it was also warm and comfortable, like a sauna.
Hearing this, Gu Weixing couldn't help but ask, what's going on?
Qian Jishi said that he later found out that a nun in the temple who worked in logistics support was harming me. Her name was Yang Shuihua. She was very beautiful. Before becoming a monk, she lived by prostitution.
Later, I contracted a strange disease. My whole body was itchy and uncomfortable, and I couldn't cure it. It might be a kind of syphilis! Later, she became a good person and stopped prostitution, but her illness still couldn't be cured.
Later, someone persuaded her to become a monk. After a few months of becoming a monk, she ate a vegetarian diet every day, recited Buddhist scriptures, and had a pure mind and few desires. Her condition gradually improved unknowingly until the symptoms completely disappeared.
But Yang Shuihua was too jealous. Seeing that the abbot valued me, Qian Jishi, and worried that the abbot would hand over the management of the temple's daily work to me, she secretly harmed me and poured cold water into the quilt where I slept. Unexpectedly, the cold water turned into hot steam and evaporated. The quilt was also warm, like an electric blanket with the heat adjusted to high setting. It was really comfortable. I don't hate Yang Shuihua, I just keep chanting Amitabha, and I feel that Amitabha is secretly blessing me.
That night I was sleeping in a bed that was as comfortable as a sauna. I also had a dream. In my dream, a powerful man who claimed to be a Dharma Protector told me that he said that the power of Buddha and Bodhisattva is boundless. When the cold water hurt you, I had the idea of helping you, and soon a treasure appeared in my hand. After a closer look, I saw that there were two rows of words written on the treasure. The upper row of words was larger, marked: Heating artifact. ; The lower row of words is smaller and marked: Made in Western Paradise.
I quickly understood, and without any instructions, I stuffed this treasure into your quilt filled with cold water. Soon the temperature in the quilt heated up, and the temperature was maintained between 30 degrees Celsius and 38 degrees Celsius. It's not too hot, so you feel very comfortable when you sleep in it.
When the man said this, he put his palms together and recited Amitabha! Then he continued, you may not know who the person who poured water into your bed was? Then I will tell you. I know that if I tell you, you will not be angry at others, so I will tell you. That person is Yang Shuihua, the nun in this temple.
