Who is the master of destiny? What is the principle of improving destiny?
Who is the real master of destiny? Has God destined the destiny of human beings to be poor, rich, noble or *?
In fact, the law of "karma and retribution cycle" has clearly told us: the real master of human destiny is not others, but ourselves!
Because everything is your own fault!
If you have evil intentions and kill lives in this life, you have already doomed yourself to a short life or a sickly life in the next life, and you will never have peace of mind!
If you are compassionate and do not take any lives in this life, you have already destined yourself to be healthy and long in the next life!
If you try every means to hinder the interests of others in this life, you have already doomed yourself to a sluggish fate in the next life!
If you are always arrogant and look down upon others in this life, you have already doomed yourself to be a humble person in the next life!
If you are stingy in this life and refuse to help the poor, you have already doomed yourself to be poor in the next life!
If you are not stingy in this life and often give money or help the poor, you have already destined yourself to be rich in the next life!
All of these are destined to be your own destiny! Who is not the master of destiny? No one can force it on you, everything is your own fault!
And your destiny in this life is exactly the cycle of retribution for what you did in your previous life, and it is your own destiny.
Many people said to me: "I am a kind-hearted person in this life, and I am always eager to help others, but why am I hated by others for my good intentions?"
There are also many people. Said: "I have done a lot of good deeds in this life, and I always treat people with conscience. Why have my fortunes always been so stagnant? Others are often ruthless and do whatever it takes to benefit themselves at the expense of others. Why do I rise to great heights?"
In fact, what I have done in this life has always been stagnant. , you may not necessarily get retribution soon, some get it in their later years, and most of them get it in the next life. Most of the retribution received in this life is the "cause" planted in the previous life. It's just like owing a debt:
In this life, my good intentions were struck by lightning, and my eagerness to help others was hated by others. It was my repayment of kindness to others in my previous life. I owed this "debt", and I will suffer the same in this life. The feeling is to repay the "debt". Only when this debt is paid off can you enjoy the good rewards of your "good heart".
The sluggish fortunes in this life are the "debt" owed by me in my previous life by doing whatever it took to harm others and benefit myself. Only when this debt is paid off can we enjoy the rewards of "doing good deeds".
A person who has achieved great success in this life has planted good karma in his previous life and is receiving good rewards in this life. When this "good reward" is over, he will receive the evil retribution of being "cruel and ruthless" and "profiting himself at the expense of others".
If the "debt" owed in the previous life is heavy, it will take a long time to repay the "debt" in this life. If the "debt" in the previous life was light, the time to repay the "debt" in this life will also be short. This is very fair.
Therefore, the time of the cycle of good and evil retribution is uneven. Some get obvious retribution within a few years in this life, some get retribution in more than ten years or decades; some get retribution in the next generation. ; Some even have to wait until the next two or three lives for retribution.
Don’t forget a very important cyclical rule: people who have too many "evil causes" have too heavy "debts"; such people are likely to be "wearing hair and horns" in their next life. "Animals that live in the animal world will even have to go through several lives of retribution in the animal realm before they can be reincarnated as human beings (this involves the issue of "reincarnation").
The cyclical law of good and evil retribution often exhibits a "offset" phenomenon, such as:
If good causes were planted in the previous life, there should be ten years of blessings in this life, but in this life Sowing evil causes will reduce future blessings for several years.
On the contrary, if you sow bad causes in the previous life, there will be several years of bad retributions in this life, but if you plant good causes in this life, the time of future bad retributions will also be reduced.
If the good causes in this life continue to increase rapidly, the bad consequences will inevitably be eliminated quickly. This kind of "addition and subtraction" calculation depends on whether "good" or "evil" is more important and who is less important. It is as fair as a scale. This is the principle of "I create my destiny and seek my own blessings."
This is the principle of improving destiny.
Since people in previous lives have intentionally or unintentionally destined themselves to receive bad retributions in this life, they must reflect in time and continuously increase the number of good causes in a timely manner so that the weight of "goodness" can increase rapidly and be able to Quickly offset the consequences of bad consequences, and then continuously increase good causes so that you can enjoy the blessings of good consequences as soon as possible. This is the only way to improve your destiny.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a "master" who improved his destiny. His surname was Yuan Ming Liaofan. He changed his life of "short life", "childless" and "without fame" by doing good deeds over a long period of time. destiny. Become a sage respected by later generations who "improved" destiny.
Yuan Liaofan was born during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and lived in Wujiang, south of the Yangtze River. When he was young, his family was poor and he studied medicine to make a living. Once when I went to Ciyun Temple, I met an old man with a long beard named Kong. He had an extraordinary appearance and was enchanting. He was skilled in the fortune-telling technique of "Emperor's Number". So Mr. Yuan invited him to go home and asked him to calculate his family's horoscopes first, and it turned out to be as effective as a god. He also used his horoscope to ask him to approve it in detail for life.
Warlock Kong was not ambiguous at all. He calculated that Mr. Yuan would be ranked fourteenth in the county examination next year as a child student, seventy-one in the government examination, ninth in the academic examination, and he also calculated that he would be admitted to Lin in such and such a year. Mr. Yuan was born and passed the imperial examination in one year. It was determined that Mr. Yuan could not pass the examination and could only serve as a minor official for three years. He died at the age of fifty-three on August 14th and had no children.
In the second year, all three exams calculated by Warlock Kong came true.
Twenty years later, all the good and bad fortunes calculated by Warlock Kong came true again.
Therefore, Mr. Yuan firmly believes that advancement and retreat in life are all destiny and cannot be forced at all. From now on, I will not have any delusions and let everything be decided by fate.
Later I went to Qixia Mountain in Nanjing for business, and met Zen Master Yungu, who explained to Mr. Yuan the retribution of the "karma cycle of good and evil", and also explained in detail "I make my destiny, and I seek my own blessings." "Principles of destiny change, and encouraged Mr. Yuan not to be an ordinary person who "allows himself to be at the mercy of fate."
After the enlightenment of Zen Master Yungu, Mr. Yuan had a great enlightenment and made up his mind to create his own new destiny. So he knelt down in front of the Buddha, revealed all his past sins, and confessed them one by one with a sincere heart. Then he vowed to perform three thousand good deeds in order to gain admission to the imperial examination, and register the good and evil deeds he said and did every day.
In less than two years, although the three thousand good deeds have not been completed, the person has been selected. The fate calculated by the Confucian Warlock has not come true. However, because Mr. Yuan failed to exercise strict self-control, the good deeds he performed sometimes outweighed the merits. Therefore, it took ten years to complete three thousand good deeds, and Mr. Yuan had also been promoted from the imperial examination to Jinshi, and was appointed as the magistrate of Baodi County, Zhili Province. job. He had deeply understood the benefits of diligently accumulating good deeds, so he vowed to commit three thousand good deeds in order to have an heir. Sure enough, he gave birth to a son in less than half a year. His wife, Mrs. Yuan, was also very virtuous. She tried her best to help her husband do good deeds, either by helping the poor and sick, or by buying things to release animals. Mr. Yuan chanted sutras and worshiped Buddha every day and performed many good deeds. Later, he continued to do good deeds and achieved great deeds. He reached the age of seventy-four without seeking longevity. His son Yuan Tianqi also became a Jinshi and was awarded the post of Gaoyao County Magistrate in Guangdong Province.
This is the great achievement of Mr. Yuan Liaofan who has the courage to reflect on his own mistakes, has been diligent in doing good deeds for a long time, and completely changed his original "destined" destiny, giving future generations of people who study the philosophy of fate the greatest achievement. Inspire. It also shows that doing good deeds can create your own new destiny.
