After Cao Nanshan finished telling the story of his personal experience, Qian Jishi said with emotion, "You are so happy that you have become better. Otherwise, if you do such a bad thing and do not change it, the victim will report it to the underworld. Once caught, he will be punished." When you go to hell and suffer enough, you will either be reborn as an animal or become a hungry ghost.
Cao Nanshan said, I am happy that I have changed my mind.
Qian Jishi said, that’s good!
Cao Nanshan said, I'd better worship you as my master! Please accept Cao's homage and bow deeply to Qian Jishi. Qian Jishi has concerns. He said, I am a Yang person, and you are a Yin soul. Yin and Yang are separated from each other. What virtues, talents, and magical powers do I have to be your master? All you have to do is recite the name of Amitabha. I am already very comfortable cultivating in the Yang world. From now on, you can practice Yin in the underworld, and it will be very special. Having said this, Qian Jishi snorted and woke up. It turned out to be a dream.
On the second day, Qian Jishi left Nalanda Temple, went down the mountain, and took a bus back. This bus is special because there is a policeman on board to maintain law and order.
This is not found in ordinary cars. The reason why there are police officers is because there is something going on in the car. Anyone who understands or is not stupid can see clearly at a glance that there are seven You Ziya who got on the car. They said that You Ziya seemed to be lifting them up, but in fact it was seven. A pickpocket.
I saw a pickpocket brazenly reaching into the purse on the left side of a female passenger. The female passenger held down the purse and shouted, "What are you doing?" The pickpocket finally let go of his hand.
The police on duty in the car also saw it. They seemed to have no sufficient reason to arrest the pickpocket. The reason was that he only extended his hand and did not reach into the female passenger's purse. There was no pickpocketing. , so it is difficult to get together and grasp the current situation.
But then he issued a warning that the unruly people in the car should behave themselves. He took out a handcuff from the bag he was carrying and held it up to say, "Be careful, this thing is not vegetarian." If anyone dares to plot evil in the car and is caught, he will be handcuffed. Then he put the raised handcuffs back into the bag, and then said: Passengers must pay attention to their wallets and belongings, something unusual was discovered on the bus.
Qian Jishi heard clearly the actions of the pickpocket and what the police in the car said just now. He also witnessed the pickpocket and six others. They all looked strange, and some of them looked vulgar. Without saying a word, he suddenly got down from the car seat and approached the seven pickpockets he had already identified. Then he said to the pickpocket who had just attempted the theft, you should also recite Amitabha in this line of work.
Why? asked the pickpocket.
Need I say more? If you recite Amitabha, you will steal more and more money. Qian Jishi said this with a kind smile on his face.
If a normal person with conscience heard it, or a Buddhist person heard it, what would he think? What do you think happened to your Qian Jishi? Why do you talk like this? According to your logic, is a Buddha still a Buddha? Buddha is a devil. Isn't it? If a pickpocket chants Amitabha, he will steal more and more money, which means he will also get rich. Doesn't this mean that as long as the pickpocket recites Amitabha, Amitabha will bless and even help the pickpocket do bad things. Where is the logic in this? People will think that Monk Qian Jishi is talking nonsense.
In fact, he was not talking nonsense at all. He chanted Amitabha Buddha for a long time and never left his mouth. This not only allowed him to transform his nature, or make his mind clear and see his nature, he also became a great compassionate person. Under the blessing of Amitabha Buddha, he also developed great wisdom. , great emotional intelligence.
Just imagine: if Qian Jishi walked up to the pickpocket and said, "You can't steal. Stealing is against the law!" If caught by the police, they will be detained. If the crime is serious, they will be sentenced to prison. It is impossible to commit the crime!
If you say this, doesn't it seem redundant? Doesn’t the pickpocket know? Maybe he has entered the palace for the third time, entered the palace for the fourth time, or has become a veteran registered at the police station. He must be aware of the stakes involved. Why hasn't he stopped yet? Do you still want to do work that is despised by society?
He must have a long-standing habit that is hard to break, and he has a special liking for money gained from pickpocketing and money obtained for nothing. Of course, he can be regarded as labor. This kind of pickpocketing is unethical. As for him, a pickpocket, will he talk to you about morality?
Qian Jishi fully understood the pickpocket's thoughts and desires, so he temporarily followed his thoughts and desires and said: If you recite Amitabha, you will steal more and more money. When the pickpocket heard this, he felt puzzled and curious: Will chanting Amitabha really make him steal more and more money? He will react in a trusting or elusive way.
As soon as Qian Jishi got close to him, he scolded him "bravely": You can't steal, you have to learn well. How many thieves have made a fortune? There will be consequences for doing such bad things.
If such a reproach had been made, the pickpocket might have retorted on the spot: What the hell does that have to do with you baldhead? Go away and make trouble with me. Do you want to relax your muscles and let your blood flow? If Qian Jishi doesn't accept the situation, and confronts him, he will probably fight against him on the spot if he disagrees with him. These circumstances had already been considered by Qian Jishi, who gave birth to great wisdom.
So, he smiled and whispered, don't you just want to steal more money? I'll give you money! The pickpocket was immediately interested. He also stared at Qian Jishi with a smile. Although he didn't speak, his eyes clearly said, how much can you give?
Qian Jishi said knowingly, "Let me pay for it. I will give you as much as you have in this monk's robe."
The pickpocket thought to himself: How much money can you have as a monk?
Unexpectedly, Qian Jishi took out a large handful of Tuan Tuan from his wallet and handed it to the pickpocket without hesitation. He said, just count them, that’s all.
The pickpocket took it in his hand without any courtesy at all, thinking to himself: The seven brothers of mine may not be able to get so much money if they go out today. This is beyond my expectation!
At this time, the other six pickpockets all looked intently at the large handful of money in the hand of the pickpocket, with a rare look of joy in their eyes. Most of the customers in the car saw it, and some showed strange expressions, as if to say, you are really a monk. You know that the pickpocket is a bad guy, but you still give him money. Are you suffering from water in your head? , are you not clear?
Some customers looked on indifferently, but still felt that this was unreasonable. What happened to this monk? Are you so kind to bad people? Doesn’t compassion care about standpoints and viewpoints of right and wrong? Can bad guys help too? Isn't this just a bad person? This shows that you, the monk, are not a good monk either.
For the policeman on duty in the car, he was even a little indignant, but it was inconvenient to stop him. Now the monk gave the money to the pickpocket voluntarily, and it was not stolen by the pickpocket. Of course he could not do anything to others, he could only Able to remain silent.
At this moment, the pickpocket happily finished counting the wad of money, then raised his head and said, there is a total of 700 yuan, will you give it to us?
All for you. But I have a prerequisite that I want to discuss with you. Qian Jishi said kindly.
Say it! As long as we can do it, we will do what you say. The pickpocket stuffed a wad of money into his coat pocket and expressed his stance happily.
I've given you money, so don't steal it and get off at the next stop! Don't do it in the car, lest a car full of customers feel uneasy. Qian Jishi directly said what he wanted to say.
absolutely okay. The pickpocket said with a smile.
So we quickly arrived at the next stop, the car stopped, the pickpocket waved his hand, and all six brothers got out of the car with smiles on their faces.
As soon as he got off the car, the policeman in the car approached Qian Jishi and asked, "You clearly know that they are bad people, so what do you mean by giving them money?"
