There is a young man named Hao Shuosheng in Huaishu Village who is murderous by nature. Of course, he didn't kill anyone, and he didn't dare to kill anyone. He just killed animals. Animals big and small will be murderous when they see them. It is said that children put the caught fireflies in bottles for fun at night and use them as natural lights at night. What does it have to do with him? thing?
Hao Shuosheng had itchy hands, so he took out the fireflies from the bottle and rubbed them to death one by one. His hands were covered with the fireflies' corpse fragments.
He chuckled, amusing himself. Although this is not illegal, it damages moral integrity. It damaged his moral character and caused him to inadvertently feel negative things. His hands, which had killed fireflies and even done other bad things, were ugly. Not only were they chapped in the winter, but they also became ulcerated in the summer, and doctors couldn't diagnose them well.
It's not a fatal disease, and it doesn't matter. However, Hao Shuosheng did not realize that he had done anything wrong, so he continued to kill.
Later, when he went hunting in the mountains, he couldn't catch the four-legged animals that ran on the ground, so he specialized in hunting the two-legged animals that flew in the sky, the wild birds. He also used to hunt birds in the spring. A good man said to him, "I advise you not to kill the spring bird. The son is in the nest looking forward to his mother's return." He said that during the spring season, there were so many birds in the forest. It was a good opportunity to shoot birds. How could he not stop shooting them? If you don’t fight, you won’t fight. Sometimes he would encounter a big bird that was escorting its chicks in the nest, and he would hunt them together.
Later, something happened. Hao Shuosheng's three male servants grew up to be seven or eight years old. One of them died of illness every year, and they all died in such mysterious ways. Later, when the neighbor was building a house, he climbed up to the high wall and stood to look at the scenery. It didn't matter how cold it was, as if someone pushed him in the chest, and he fell backwards. Below him was a pit two feet deep. foundation. He hit the ground on the back of his head and fell like a green onion, hurting himself to death. It was really miserable.
After telling the case of this murderous man, the eminent monk sighed with emotion and said that this is karma. I advise you not to hunt the three spring birds. The son is in the nest looking forward to his mother's return. He decided to fight, but how could he get any benefit from it? Mother Bird's son was beaten to death by him, and soon his three sons also died of illness one after another, and finally he also fell to death. This is the retribution of those who commit murder. We must take this as a lesson and not follow in the same footsteps.
Many villagers received instructions from eminent monks and said they would no longer kill animals in the future. Some hunters even destroyed their shotguns and washed their hands in the golden basin. They were really afraid of following in the footsteps of Hao Shuosheng and regretting it too late.
The eminent monk also talked about the consequences of stealing. He said that throughout the ages, people have only heard of people getting rich through hard work, but not by stealing. Moreover, stealing has three major disadvantages:
First, the thief will sooner or later suffer from tuberculosis. Obviously, if you steal for a long time, you will always be discovered and caught. Once caught, you will be beaten. Even if the person who catches the thief is qualified and does not beat him, the thief will be beaten. He was brought before the official, and the crime was minor or serious, and he was incarcerated. While imprisoned in prison, he will inevitably be beaten by the cell boss. When he is released, he will suffer from tuberculosis all over his body.
Second, the property obtained through theft cannot be kept, and the loss will be even worse when the time comes. There was a family where both husband and wife loved to steal. Usually there is no harvest, but in autumn, he goes out in the middle of the night to steal rice from other people's fields. The first year was fine, and the next day was fine as well. I just heard the people who had the property robbed yelling and cursing in the farmhouse. Those who stole the harvest were so used to it that they were even afraid of being suspected.
As it happened, in the autumn of the third year, a fire broke out in the house of the couple who continued to steal rice from other people's fields. All five tile-roofed houses burned down, and the grain they usually stole and stored was reduced to ashes. When they put out the fire, the couple Both of them suffered burns to varying degrees. The strange thing is that their right legs and hands had broken tendons, shrunk and were not fully healed.
The couple did not realize that this was the result of their long-term theft. Instead, they thought it was family luck or their bad luck. When they were discussing in private, each other said sadly, "How could this happen?" In the future, when you go out to do business (metaphorically referring to stealing), your hands and feet will be inflexible and your movements will be slow, and the business will not be successful.
The third is frequent theft, which is short-lived. The reason is simple. The thief is in a state of panic for a long time and has nightmares about being caught and beaten to death. The heart rhythm is disordered and it is easy to get sick or even die. Some thieves also kill karma when they commit the crime of theft. Such short lives are caused by the underworld demanding their lives.
It is said that there was a middle-aged male thief who secretly beat to death a nursing female dog belonging to a family named Wang in the same village, skinned and ate its flesh. Later, an acquaintance discovered the incident. The male thief knelt in front of him and kowtowed, begging the acquaintance not to report him. The acquaintances just pretended that they didn't see or know, and they didn't want the male thief to give him a piece of dog meat.
A few years later, the male thief received his comeuppance. He dreamed that the bitch he had beaten to death was looking for his life, chasing him with bared teeth and biting him. The bitch in his dream could still talk. It said, I should have spared you, but I couldn't. You could just beat me to death and eat my meat. As everyone knows, the five paparazzi that had only been born for a few days had no milk to eat and they all starved to death. It's also because your sins are too serious.
Rather than saying that you killed my dog, it is better to say that you killed 6 dogs, so the underworld allows me to ask for your life. After the male thief woke up, he suffered from a strange disease. His throat was swollen and painful, and he couldn't swallow. He couldn't be cured in the hospital. It took half a year, and he was so sick that he was as thin as a stick, and then died.
The eminent monk explained the three disadvantages of theft based on scriptures, which aroused a great response. The villages around the new temple have changed from the frequent thefts in the past, and there are almost no robbers.
There are even some unexpected situations. Some things that were lost before were somehow returned without anyone noticing.
Of course it was sent secretly. Let’s talk about the Liu family! Not long ago, a white chicken that often lays eggs was lost and could not be found. But one morning, the Liu family got up and opened the door, and saw a lively No-Machi woman tied under the sycamore tree on the edge of the yard in front of the house. She might also be able to lay eggs. If you look carefully, you can see that there is actually a white-shell egg lying on the ground. superior.
After picking it up, the surface of the egg is still a little warm, which proves that the chicken has just been released. Who tied a No-Maj woman here? The Liu family was puzzled as to why, and when they were confused, they found a small note tied to the wings of the No-Maj.
The Liu family untied the small piece of paper and shook it open. It read: I'm sorry, brother Liu family, I stole and killed a white chicken from your family not long ago, and now I have a similar domestic chicken. Come on. Why pay it back? Recently, I heard an eminent monk talk about the disadvantages of being a robber during his sermon. I was really afraid of retribution, so I sent a chicken woman overnight to pay off my debt.
Why did I send it at night? The main reason was that I was afraid of meeting people. I was embarrassed and I didn’t know where to put my face. Forgive me for not leaving my name.
When the Liu family thinks of that incident, they should hate the robber, but now that the robber has regrets and secretly sends a No-Maj to atone for his sin, the Liu family no longer hates him. He even commented to himself: I thought it was a weasel that took away the white chicken, but that was actually what happened. There are no mountains in front of or behind our house. They are all open. How can there be any weasels? !
Since then, all villages that heard eminent monks preaching have lost even petty thieves, and have gradually restored their simple folk customs. You can feel up close the atmosphere of not closing the door at night and not picking up lost items on the road as mentioned in ancient books.
Talking about the consequences of sexual immorality, the eminent monk told a real case, a terminally ill girl with lupus erythematosus all over her body, she was 24 years old, and she was not too young. Her name was Hao Ying. At first she was not sick. Infected by sexual immorality.
She had been fooling around with a boy in her class in the wild since she was 13 years old. Later, she was discovered and reported to the school. The school gave Hao Ying and the boy a demerit because it was forbidden for primary and secondary school students to fall in love.
Hao Ying was so angry that she stopped studying. When she got older, she went on a business trip to the team and had sexual intercourse with the leader in the leadership office. When she was discovered many times, she was punished and the leader also suffered bad luck, because Due to style issues, he was dismissed.
Later, Hao Ying still couldn't change her bad habits of sexual immorality. She was greedy for vanity and indolent, and she hid a fallacy in her heart: When she is with a man, as long as she gives her body to him, she can get the man's care and even take advantage of her. If the situation is good, , you don’t have to worry about food, drink, clothing and shelter.
Therefore, she dated 5 boyfriends, and each one of them committed prostitution without exception. Sometimes after watching a movie with her boyfriend, she would engage in prostitution in a dark alley, offending the alley god; sometimes she would do things in the farmhouse during the day. , she called her boyfriend to the mountains to engage in prostitution, offending the mountain god; sometimes she and her boyfriend were playing by the river, and taking advantage of no outsiders, they engaged in prostitution under the willow shade by the river, offending the river god; sometimes she called her boyfriend to her home She offended the god of the family by engaging in prostitution; sometimes she asked her boyfriend to engage in prostitution in the park at night, offending the god of flowers and trees; sometimes she and her boyfriend walked into a dark corridor and couldn't control themselves, and still indulged in sexual immorality, offending the door god who was guarding the corridor. …
It can be said that wherever she went, she would engage in prostitution whenever she had the opportunity to hide herself from others. The feng shui of the place where she and her boyfriend had committed adultery was defiled and destroyed, so the gods were very angry and recorded her sins in a book.
She had no idea that she would only be able to see the sins she had committed during her lifetime when she died and went to hell. As a result, she was always surrounded by many enemies and creditors. In the end, she was doomed.
Later, Hao Ying married a man. The man didn't know about her past misdeeds. If he knew, he wouldn't want such a woman.
Such a woman is unclean as soon as she enters the house. How can her life be good in the future? Her whole body is filled with karma and retribution. When she creates karma, she feels happy. But when she gets the retribution, she is not happy and has no desire for it. It doesn’t work if you don’t want to. If there is a cause, there will be an effect. This is the rule.
Hao Ying continued to engage in sexual immorality after her marriage. Sometimes, when the man is not at home, he calls for a wild man. As the saying goes: if a wild man goes to bed, the family will be ruined.
Her sexual immorality before marriage was caused by her own greed, and the consequences were there, but it was not as serious as the evil obstacles of continuing sexual immorality after marriage. Because after marriage, as a wife, she should keep herself clean, be a good wife and mother, and should not act recklessly.
If she continues to engage in sexual immorality, she will be sorry to her husband; if she fails to be a good wife, she will be sorry to her children; if she fails to be a clean and self-disciplined mother, she will be sorry to the wife and children of the other party (or wild man). Then the little devils from all over will come to settle accounts with her. , can she be well and live in peace?
Therefore, Hao Ying, a woman, looked gloomy all day long, and her body became a little rickety, unable to straighten her waist. She contracted a terminal illness at the age of 24. She sought medical treatment everywhere in Beijing and Shanghai, but could not be cured.
The world doesn't know that suffering from this evil disease, even if Hua Tuo descends to earth and Bian Que is reincarnated, nothing can be done about it. Because all dharmas are empty, cause and effect are not empty. Hao Ying, who was terminally ill, found the eminent monk, and the eminent monk shook his head.
He just unceremoniously pointed out the bad reasons for her repeated sexual misconduct and never restrained herself. She regretted it so much that she couldn't stop crying. If you want to change, it's too late. It's like a murderer who kills someone. It's useless to say regrets.
Later, Hao Ying was tortured by the pain of terminal illness until she was as thin as a stick. She was so disheartened that she hanged herself with a rope. This was another crime. She had not suffered all the hardships, and she was a suicide. After her death, there was one more person to be tortured. Place - the city of vain death. And every seven days, the ghost will force the ghost of the suicide to repeat the pain he experienced when he committed suicide.
The eminent monk told this case mainly to warn those who want to commit sexual immorality but have not yet committed sexual immorality, to give up their thoughts as soon as possible and not to create bad karma but only to accumulate good deeds.
