Later, I dreamed that the Dharma Protector told me that King Qin Guang, the king of hell in the first palace of Hades, received this memorial. After reading it, he said angrily: How is this unreasonable? A nun who is a monk is supposed to put aside all greed, anger, ignorance, pride and suspicion, but why is she worse than lay people? Even worse than the vulgarity of ordinary people, he actually did such a shameful thing.
As the saying goes: There are also thieves, and thieves also have rules. If you think you should steal, you will steal, and if you think you shouldn't steal, you won't steal. Even people who work in the underworld have rules, so why doesn't she follow any rules? My heart was so dirty.
Monk Qian Jishi, what can I do to you? He did good things, why are you jealous of him? It's just that you're jealous of him, why do you want to harm him? This is so wrong.
In comparison, your crime of harming lay people is slightly lighter, and your crime of harming monks is increased. In comparison, if you are a layperson and harm a monk, your sin will be slightly lighter. Now you are also a monk, and you should have the awareness to practice the Bodhisattva way, but you don't care about anything, have no reverence, and do bad things wantonly. This is equivalent to knowing the law and breaking the law, and the sin will not be forgiven.
At this time, King Guang of Qin sent an order from the underworld ministry in charge of the Book of Hell to reduce Yang Shuihua's longevity by 20 years.
The minister said he obeyed the order and went to the archives of the King of Hell. After a while, he came to Qin Guang King's Palace and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Shuihua Yangshou of Dongtu Kingdom is only 59 years old. She is already 38 years old and is eating 39-year-old food. She will be 39 years old in 4 months." . If her 20 years of life were shortened, she would only have a few months to live.
King Qin Guang said that it would only take a few months. A harmful spirit like this would not be allowed to live one more day, not to mention in the pure land of Buddhism, even in a romantic place where filth and evil practices are hidden.
The minister said again that he obeyed the order, and then said, "Your Majesty, Yang Shuihua is still in good health now. How should we give her death when her life span is over?"
King Qin Guang said that Yang Shuihua had a vicious heart. Before the end of her life, she let the germ Shi Shishen infect her with cancer cells, causing her to suffer for several months. On the day of death, his guilty soul was immediately taken to this palace for trial. .
Minister Dao, thank you for your enlightenment!
One night three months later, Master Yaoguang came to my dormitory and said to me, "Monk Jishi, don't you know that Yang Shuihua, the nun in our temple, is sick?"
I do not know! When did she get sick?
I have been ill for a long time and am still very ill. He is currently hospitalized in the County People's Hospital.
What disease?
It's brain cancer! Sometimes she is comatose, sometimes she is awake. When she is awake, she always thinks of you and always says she wants to see you. I guess time is running out. The reason why I came to you is to ask you to visit her at the County People's Hospital to satisfy her wish to see you.
Well! I must go, let’s go tonight!
No need, tomorrow, I will go visit Yang Shuihua with you.
In this way, that night, I kept chanting Buddha's prayers to nun Yang Shuihua, hoping that she would receive blessings from Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and recover soon and be discharged from the hospital. Early the next morning, Master Yaoguang and I went to the inpatient department of the County People's Hospital, and were led into Ward 404 by an oncologist.
There are two beds on the left and right in the ward. The one on the left is empty. On the right bed lies Nun Yang Shuihua who is getting an injection. She looked haggard and so thin that her eyes dropped a little. Her eyes were slightly closed, but there was a slight gap left, and she was obviously not asleep. Yes, we had just entered, and within a few seconds, we heard her let out a painful moan.
She didn't notice us. She probably heard the footsteps and thought it was the medical staff, so she didn't open her eyes to look at the person. At this time, we were already standing in front of the hospital bed, and she had no idea. He was still saying something silently. We listened carefully and heard clearly. Just as Master Yaoguang told me, she was saying my name, like Monk Qian, I'm sorry for you, I'm so sorry for you...she said she was like a god, her voice was very small, even quieter than her moans .
Suddenly, Master Yaoguang brightened his voice and said to her, Nun Yang, I have accomplished what you entrusted me with. I have invited the monk Qian you want to see.
I said, Nun Yang, I am Monk Qian, and I came to see you with the abbot of the temple. I hope you can recover well. Amitabha! As he spoke, he clasped his hands together habitually.
When she heard that Monk Qian was here, Yang Shuihua suddenly opened her eyes and looked at me and said, Monk Qian, I am really sorry for you, I regret it!
I said, Nun Yang, you have nothing to apologize to me for, you are very kind to me!
Lying on the hospital bed, Yang Shuihua shook his head slightly, with tears streaming down his face, and said in a weak voice, "Monk Qian, I have hurt you several times, but you have always tolerated me. You are a true practitioner."
I smiled and said, Nun Yang, I haven’t done enough and I’m still far from being a true practitioner!
Yang Shuihua said, now I don't have enough yang energy and I am about to die. Before I die, I have a knot in my heart. I just want to tell you the several things I have done to harm you, so as to apologize to you.
I said, Amitabha! Just don’t talk about it! Even if you did something wrong, I will forgive you. I have always forgiven you, not to mention that you are so sick now, so there is no need to talk about the past. OK?
Yang Shuihua said, Monk Qian, I don’t want to go to the King of Hell with too many sins. Only by telling me about the bad things I did to you and my regrets can I feel less guilty and go to the King of Hell. , even if you are punished, the crime will be lighter. Only now do I understand the meaning of the saying, harming others will ultimately harm yourself. Isn't it? I have tricked you, Monk Qian, many times. In the end, it was not you, Monk Qian, who suffered, but me.
After hearing what Yang Shuihua said, I couldn't stop her from talking anymore. I just kept reciting Amitabha's name silently in my heart, and dedicated the merits of reciting the Buddha's name to her. I also prayed to the Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless her to alleviate her illness or pain, or to recover.
Yang Shuihua talked about many things that harmed me. Two of them, I knew were done by her. Just as she said, every time she harmed me, she never harmed me. The things that harmed me were also done to me. Good aspects transform. She just said that not long after I arrived at Amitabha Temple, she was jealous of me and wanted to harm me. If she couldn't harm me overtly, she would harm me secretly.
Taking advantage of the time when I went to the lecture hall to teach, I quietly pushed out of my dormitory and poured cold water into my bed. It was winter again. It should be said that the bed was almost frozen, but a miracle happened. I had a fever in my body, so I fell asleep at night and felt as comfortable as taking a steaming sauna. Later, the Dharma Protector told me in a dream that I found out that it was the Dharma Protector who used the magic weapon of the Buddha and Bodhisattva to cast a spell, which turned the cold water into hot water.
Yang Shuihua harmed me one more time, I don’t know. That was when I went to eat at Guo Zhaitang. Since she was helping out at Guo Zhaitang and seeing that I was frugal and not picky, she would always give me the stale or sour overnight meals, hoping that I would suffer from diarrhea after eating them. Dysentery. They often say hypocritically, "Monk Qian, look, I will give you good food and good food."
I didn't care at all and didn't know that what I ate was sour food. I even felt that Yang Shuihua was very kind to me. My heart was full of gratitude to her.
But one night when I fell asleep, I dreamed that the Dharma Protector said to me, Monk Qian, if you go to the dining hall to eat in the future, you must not eat the food Yang Shuihua gives you!
I asked why? The Dharma Protector then told the truth about Yang Shuihua’s harm to me. I asked again, is it impossible? Why did I eat so many sour meals and not get sick? The protector said, "Then you don't know. Buddha and Bodhisattva thought that you were kind-hearted and gave me a food detoxification spell. Every time Yang Shuihua gave you sour food, I would stand by and recite the food detoxification spell to you several times." , the poisonous gas in the food has been released. After you eat it, of course you will be fine.
Thank you, Dharma Protector! After I woke up, I was still grateful to the Dharma Protector and chanted Buddha's name more and more diligently. When I went to the Zhaitang again for dinner, I didn't deliberately avoid Yang Shuihua and pretended to be nice to me. Instead, I just went with the flow. When I met her, I ate the food she gave me. If I didn't meet her, I ate what others gave me. Meals.
Yang Shuihua was never seen again, and it was only later that he found out that she was seriously ill.
At this moment, Yang Shuihua on the hospital bed also told something that I only learned later but Master Yaoguang never knew. She said that once, she secretly brought a bottle of urine into my dormitory and put it on my table. I thought it was a bottle of good drink, which made her think that I was very stupid. Such a stupid person must not be able to do this. .
When Yang Shuihua said this, Master Yaoguang heard it and became a little excited, so he asked, Nun Yang, why did you want to harm Monk Qian like this?
