"There is no way to bring about misfortune and blessing, only people call it upon themselves." There is no master of misfortune and blessing, nor is it a god. It does not mean that if you eat the pig head that is offered as an offering, he will bless you. If there is no offering, ghosts will come looking for you. You, that's empty talk.
"There is no way for misfortunes and blessings". Neither ghosts nor gods can be your masters. God and Bodhisattva cannot be your masters. There are only people's own thoughts. The so-called "only people call themselves" means that you call yourself. of. Therefore, if we strictly reflect on all the experiences we encounter in life, we will find that pain, happiness, troubles, etc. are all caused by ourselves. The way of heaven is such a thing. The way of heaven is like a net, omnipresent but invisible. There is true wisdom but no master, but it is not nature or physical nature. In Chinese idioms, you can often see these two sentences: "The sky is vast, sparse and not leaking."
Some people suspect that people who have not done one good thing have also done some bad things, but they have lived a good life. So what does it mean to be prosperous and happy? When Sima Qian wrote "The Biography of Boyi", he also raised a doubt: "How can Heaven repay good deeds to good people?" He also said, "I am very confused [yān]. The so-called way of Heaven is evil and not evil." ". However, when he wrote this article, he did not provide an answer to this kind of confusion. He only raised a question and let the readers of his article think about it for themselves.
When it comes to religious philosophy, people often ask this question: Religion talks about right and wrong, good and evil; but some people are good people and do good deeds all their lives, but they suffer the most blows and suffer the most. Even the person who wrote "Historical Records" Sima Qian also had such doubts. In order to speak justice for Li Ling, Sima Qian was severely punished and suffered a lifetime of pain. He said in "The Biography of Boyi Shuqi", is the so-called way of heaven true? Fake? I don't know. There are many good people in society who suffer all their lives, while those bad people live a very comfortable life with everything good. The worse the people, the better their lives.
Buddhism’s answer is very simple. Someone is a bad person in this life, but the reason why he is in such a good situation is because the good rewards he received from his good deeds in his previous life have not yet been completed; what he has done in this life is The bad deeds you have done will be settled when your evil deeds are full. In my personal life experience, what Buddhism says is right.
Some people may say that this can only be heard, and neither the past life nor the next life can be seen! Regarding this question, as long as we study the reality of this life, we will understand that "there is no way for misfortunes and blessings, only people call it upon themselves." Because if you reflect carefully, you will find that the biggest blow is the biggest blessing. If you don't suffer the biggest blow, your life may not be saved. Of course, living is not necessarily good! It is also sad to live too long, although most people think that longevity is also a blessing.
From the perspective of these many principles, we can understand the meaning of what Laozi said: "The sky is vast, sparse but not lost." It has no reason, no master, and no standard, but it does have a big principle and a standard; this truth is the most profound truth in any religious philosophy. To explain in a simple sentence, it is the law of cause and effect. If you create a cause, you will naturally get the effect. No one can escape. ——"I Said"
I have seen many people's life experiences, and retribution is very fast, as if it is faster than computer calculations. In fact, many people receive retribution in this world, but the people who receive it do not understand it themselves. Therefore, there are four popular sayings in Chinese society: "Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds. It's not that you will not be rewarded, but the time has not yet come." This is what everyone likes to say. ——"Mencius and the whole heart"
Confucius said: Who can not leave the house? Why not?
Although Confucius lamented the times, he believed that it was still right to take the right path. A gentleman should not bow to reality. The final victory and final success will still come from the right path. He gave an example: "Who can't leave the house?" The door in the gate is the house. He said that whoever wants to go out can do so without going through a door? Only after leaving the door can you take the right path. People must take the right path. Taking the wrong path and following the wrong path will eventually lead to twists and turns and no results.
That is to say, people must have standards for being a human being. Although many people are proud of themselves for a while by not following the right path, they still have problems in the end. However, many people still only focus on the present, regardless of their own consequences. Although we see many people who have committed many evil deeds and still enjoy a peaceful life, this debt will eventually be settled in the afterlife. ——"The Analects of Confucius"
The law of cause and effect (such as karma and retribution) taught in Buddhism. For example, if you scolded someone yesterday, and they smiled at you at that time, they already had hatred in their hearts. If there is a chance, they will definitely blame you. I will repay you without any courtesy. This is cause and effect, this is called karma.
So it is said, "If you have no sin, you will not be beaten, if you have no crime, you will not be scolded. When adversity comes, it is a gift to you. You must not only endure it, but also be grateful" - "Quotations from Jing Si"
When you suffer, you suffer [liǎo], when you suffer, you suffer [liǎo], and when you suffer, you suffer [liǎo]. When adversity comes, if you can endure it happily, it will be fine. If you can't bear it and still have resentment in your heart, even though this incident has passed, something bad will happen again in the future. Or the next life, and the next life, and keep reincarnating until you repent.
It is often said in society: "If you are too petty, you will not be a gentleman, and if you are not poisonous, you will not be a husband." It originally meant "If you are too petty, you will not be a husband." It was mistakenly read as "If you are not poisonous, you will not be a husband," which makes people mistakenly think that you are "not a husband." "Vicious" is the husband. "Du" means measure and magnanimity. A man without measure cannot be called a husband. "A small amount is not a gentleman, and a small amount is not a husband." It is a good motto to cultivate people's capacity.
In ancient times, there was a man named Lin Tuizhai who had good moral cultivation. This man had great blessings and had many children and grandchildren. When he was dying, his descendants knelt in front of him and said, "You are leaving us, so leave something for us to pursue throughout our lives."
He said, "You must learn to suffer losses." This is exactly what he said. It is his greatest concern for his children and grandchildren, letting them know that suffering is a blessing.
In fact, the biggest problem here is our concept problem, our problem. This is because we have formed this habit of complaining since time immemorial. We seek everything from the outside and don’t know how to look back and reflect. We always want to change others or the outside world, but we don’t know how to change ourselves. Because the outside world cannot be changed, or it is difficult to change, the only thing that can change is ourselves.
So, whenever we feel so unlucky, we will take corresponding "measures" to deal with the so-called "adversity" or trap we are in. We always want to make good out of this "adversity" or trap. It's about escaping from the trap. The result is just the opposite: they run further and further away, sink deeper and deeper, and cannot escape for the rest of their lives. In this way, you will naturally fall into a vicious cycle of cause and effect, trapping yourself in the quagmire of being misunderstood, framed, framed, etc. and unable to extricate yourself. Therefore, when someone has bad luck, it is not based on their name, their zodiac sign, their horoscope, or their horoscope. Because obstacles are caused by your own thoughts. As the saying goes: "To let others go is to be kind to yourself."
Some people also say: "When you bully me and insult me, you insult my personality. Personality is the most important.
Obstacles are caused by yourself
Tolerating insults from others has no impact on your own personality.
Not only does it have no impact, it actually shows our noble personality.
True happiness is not because he has more, but because he cares less.
The above mentioned habits are inevitable for us ordinary people. To sum up, there is a root. Worshiping something, this is the strong self-attachment, why am I, why am I? Everything has a "I", which will give rise to hatred and self-arrogance, which will sow evil causes. If you are in pain, it is better to say that your cultivation is not enough.
Confucius said: "The wise do not be confused, the benevolent do not worry, the brave do not fear." "
A wise man will not be confused: confusion means choice. Life is faced with too many choices. This is a very painful thing, because we don't know which is right and which is wrong. There is only one The only person who can avoid making wrong choices is a wise man, because a wise man has an open mind, a broad vision, judgment and determination in his heart, so when he makes a choice, he is full of strength.
The benevolent man is not worried: here. Among the various situations in the world, only those with broad benevolence and righteousness can be open-minded and will not have so many sorrows and worries.
The brave are not afraid: as long as you have enough in your heart. Be brave, and you will have the strength to move forward without fear. But true benevolence and courage coexist with great wisdom.

Confucius said: "Life and death are destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven"
Your present destiny was summoned by you in the past, but your future destiny and your present destiny can be resolved by what you do now. So in order to inject a good destiny into your future, you should do it now. Do more good deeds and live a serious life. If you give without stealing, you will become rich; if you are frugal, greedy and steal, you will become poor.
If you are willing to help others, you will have noble people. If you do not do what is right, no one will help you. Wealth and honor, poverty and poverty are all your own calling. Wish yourself luck! I recommend you an article that can accumulate blessings and increase your blessings. Search online for "Liaofan's Four Trainings in Vernacular". Only by knowing and cherishing blessings can one benefit; having a kind and tolerant heart is the beginning of good luck.
Man is the spirit of all things, and your heart is the most spiritual! If you don’t know that people have such great spirituality, and you just complain blindly, will your life be better? It can't be good! Some people say: "My life is not good, I have been unlucky in my life." Well, the more they say it, the better it will be, and it will make you miserable. In fact, everyone has a sufficient Buddha nature, and it only listens to us. This is very effective. If you say, "Oh, this definitely won't work." The more you say it, the less likely it will be. Don't say that good intentions are not rewarded, and don't say that there are no good people around you. Some women say: "Men don't have any good things." Can any good things be arranged for you? Because what you ask for is "men don't have good things." This is your wish and your conclusion. Don't lose on the good side, and mistakenly think that worry is a good intention. Remember, worrying is the same as cursing, cursing. We must be cautious when drawing any conclusions, so the Chinese character for Zhongyong is to put a seal on your mouth, telling you not to talk nonsense, seal your mouth first. We should create benign programs: "I am surrounded by good people", "When I suffer a loss, I am blessed", "This person is not good to me, so he is going to die", "The sicker I get, the more I catch a cold, the more I detoxify", who heard that the more I catch a cold, the more I detoxify? The shorter your life span? This is not necessarily the case. So we have to have a good program. I often give myself benign programs: "If you lose money, you will have luck with wealth." It’s not this program. I am a “right eye jumper” and I jump on good things.
Karma and retribution are the natural laws of the universe. This is the development law of nature. However, it is relative. It does not remain unchanged at a certain time, but changes with the changes in the universe. There is no absolute law of cause and effect in the universe. What ultimately determines destiny is each person's own concept of value. Simply put, only you can decide everything about yourself and control your own destiny.
