Another problem, which many fellow initiates are concerned about, is a social problem, that is, people often look at Feng Shui, fortune telling and Feng Shui. He said, "Is this true?"
My answer: "It's true". Why is it true? If you understand the truth of these things, you will know that they are true, not false. Is there a fate? Yes! Where does life come from? Life is formed by the good and evil you created in your previous life. If you have created many good deeds in your past life, your life will be very good. If you do more evil, your life will be bad. Therefore, life is not your destiny, and it has nothing to do with the gods of heaven and earth, buddhas and bodhisattvas, and keeping up with the imperial city. Life is made by yourself, it's none of others' business. In the classics, the Buddha made it very clear that this was "self-made".
Therefore, people who really understand this matter will not blame others no matter how much suffering they encounter. Why? How can you blame others? You deserve it. Even if he does good deeds, does good deeds all his life, faithfully serves the country and enthusiastically serves the people, he won't complain if the final result is not good, or even disaster strikes. Why? All the sufferings I have suffered in my life were done in my last life. I want to accept them with joy, and I don't blame others and treat others badly. What is created in this life will bear fruit in the afterlife and will be received in the afterlife. Cause and effect go through three lives, not a lifetime. Do it all your life and suffer all your life. This is the so-called report. Do it in this life, report to the afterlife, and report to the Buddha; Nature in this life, and then report it after three lives. This is called post-reporting, and it takes a long time to post-reporting. This is a certain truth. Where is there no fate? Therefore, Buddhism recognizes that every living being and everyone has a destiny, but Buddhism does not talk about fate, which means that fate can be changed at any time.
How to change it? The concept of good and evil. If you wake up, you will definitely turn over a new leaf, and you will change your destiny. If you don't realize that you still deliberately do things that harm others and benefit yourself every day and commit all kinds of crimes, then your karma will get worse and worse, and your fate will get worse and worse, so your fate will be variable. Most people can tell fortunes accurately. What is the reason? Although he has variables every day, he doesn't change much and his level doesn't fluctuate much, so he is quite accurate. If he has great goodness and great evil, and the ups and downs are too great, it is not allowed. If you pay a little attention to this observation, you will be able to realize that you also know how to change your destiny. It is not difficult to change your destiny!
Did you talk about Feng Shui? Feng shui has. What is Feng Shui? Modern people feel mysterious when they mention these two words. Actually, these two words are very common. In modern terms, these two words are living environment, which is related to a person's cultivation and temperament. Some people like mountains, others like water, different, different! People who like water are told to live in the mountains, and his feng shui is not good. He doesn't like it. People who like mountains, tell them to live by the water, feng shui is not good. So you have to understand, what is good feng shui? You are satisfied with the environment in which you live, and you live happily. For you, this place has good feng shui. Don't be cheated. Never say, "I'm not satisfied living here, and many things are not going well." That's what you deserve. Is it related to the living environment? It matters, but it doesn't matter much. So living in these environments will often make you worry and see dissatisfaction. Even a room, the layout of the room, someone decorated very elegantly, and it was very comfortable to enter the room; Some people's rooms are messy, and they are very unhappy when they enter. This is called feng shui. So, all this can be changed. You don't have to let others change it. Ask the geographer to correct it. That man is really poor. Why? His life is dominated by others, so he can't make his own decisions. How pathetic you are!
A truly wise man is happy if he decides his own affairs and is not at the mercy of others. When we have dinner together (treat guests), I hate it when someone gives me food. Why? You give me food, and I will listen to you. I'll eat whatever you tell me to eat. I can't do what I like. So I often advise people to "don't give it to me, I'm not at your mercy or under your control". It's hard to hear, so he realizes and understands. I like to eat what I like. How comfortable and comfortable! The living environment should not be at the mercy of others. We can choose and consider for ourselves. This is the real understanding of Feng Shui.
Someone asked: "Since ancient times, many emperors and nobles seem to have never benefited from Feng Shui." In fact, when he gets the benefits of Feng Shui, Feng Shui will change, and Feng Shui will change with people. Not many people understand this truth. For example, A lives in this place. He has good feng shui and a smooth life. There is no mistake. His family is happy and his career is smooth. B there is no need to live in this place, not even in this place. He has also encountered many disasters. What is the reason? His personality is different. In China, we say "eight characters don't match"! Therefore, Feng Shui is good for A, but not necessarily good for B; Feng Shui is good for B, but not necessarily good for C. You must match your self-cultivation, your living habits, your sentiment and the material environment with your spiritual life. Good feng shui is such a truth.
People who understand this truth are not subject to others, and they can be masters themselves, which is good. Therefore, people who look at feng shui also have a prevarication: "blessed land, blessed land, blessed land to live in." He showed you good feng shui, and it's unlucky and unhappy for you to live there in the future. He said, "This is not my responsibility. This is a blessed land. You have no blessed land." He stopped you in one sentence. So, if you really understand what he meant, why did you go to see him? I just need to cultivate happiness. I am blessed, no matter where I live, Feng Shui will follow me. Buddhism said, "The environment will follow my heart." This is a fact. If you have a kind heart, have a kind heart and live in a bad environment, you will get better. If you have a bad heart and bad behavior, it will be a good feng shui. If you live there, things will get worse and worse. This is what Buddhists say. So, this truth, this truth is understood by everyone. The most important thing is to be kind, do good deeds and be a good person. No matter where you live, you are unlucky.
The last question: "Is man's fate predestined?"
As I said just now, people do have a destiny, the wealth of the family, the wealth of the state, and the wealth of the whole world. China's ancient book Huang Jijing's Poems was written by Shao Kangjie in Song Dynasty. In modern terms, Mr Shao Kangjie is a great mathematical genius. He uses mathematics to infer the fate of the whole world, the rise and fall of the world, the good and bad of the world, but his writing is difficult for ordinary people to understand. He used mathematics to infer. The prediction of this mathematical reasoning belongs to comparison in our Buddhism. According to some theories, it may not be completely correct, but its accuracy is quite high and it is impossible to be completely correct.
Another prediction is seen from the neutral field. This is very accurate. For example, I recently heard that a book called "The Bible Code" was published in the West, and it was predicted that this book was written 3000 years ago. For modern times, even the date of the Persian Gulf War is clearly marked, and many things that have happened now are said in it. Let's look at this. It belongs to the field of quantity, that is, it is fixed work and meditation. So westerners are surprised by this book. I think this book is very ordinary. They think it's a masterpiece of God. We know we don't need God. It is enough to have time for the first meditation. With the concentration of the first meditation, he can see clearly what has happened for thousands of years. Why? Buddha said, "You can't leave the present and the past, and you can't leave it." This sentence was said by the Buddha three thousand years ago. In modern times, Einstein said, "The past, the present and the future coexist." Coexistence is just like the meaning of "ten generations from ancient times to the present" in Buddhism. Because the future exists at the same time, when you settle down and this boundary breaks through, you can see the future. Therefore, it is this truth that you can see things clearly and clearly in the next few thousand years. Therefore, this is meditation, not necessarily talking about God. As long as they are successful people, they are very clear and clear.
This is very common for a Buddhist student. Westerners think it's great, but he also has a point. He said that "good and evil are variables", which makes sense. What power does this variable rely on to resolve disasters and postpone crises? It depends on whether everyone realizes it or not. If one tenth of the people in this world can realize it, the problem will be solved and it will be postponed. People who have no consciousness are exposed to the light of those who have realized, so "one person is blessed, sharing a house" is the truth, and we are exposed to his light.
