In a trance, I began to believe in divination. Coincidentally, I met a "master" who opened a Buddhist shop. This "master" is good at approving eight characters. To tell the truth, I was still convinced of the eight characters he gave me. Especially when he finally said that I was a black lawyer in my last life, taking other people's money and not working for others. So you will have bad luck in your life. I admire his statement even more. Why? Because I am a law major myself. What a coincidence!
In a previous life? Six divisions in the wheel of karma? I knew nothing about Buddhism at that time. I'm just a fog cover, and suddenly I seem to have entered the illusory world in the movie.
For a long time, I went to the Buddhist shop every three days. "Master" taught me a lot about buddhas and bodhisattvas. At that time, I knew almost nothing except Guanyin Bodhisattva. Even the names of the pharmacist Buddha and the earth treasure bodhisattva have never been heard of. Tathagata and Amitabha are just the concepts of "immortals" established from movies.
First, the Guanyin Bodhisattva from the "Master" Buddhist shop was invited, and under his guidance, she began to recite scriptures and hold spells. At that time, there was already a small circle of five or six people around the "master", and everyone said that I was very diligent. Not long after, I invited the pharmacist Buddha and the Earth Treasure King Bodhisattva, both enlightened by the "Master". As a result, the three incense burners are nine fragrant, and the incense mist fills the air. Today's pharmacist's classics, tomorrow's popular products, and the Tibetan scriptures the day after tomorrow can also be regarded as "diligence." The "master" encouraged me and said that my blessings were great and everything would pass. During this period, I insisted on chanting, sometimes I participated in small-scale release organized by Gao Ren, and sometimes I was released, firmly believing that I was a devout Buddhist.
A year later, "Gao Ren" built its own Dojo, called on everyone to donate money, and invited the Western Three Saints. Every night, we also organize people to recite scriptures. I have participated in it many times, and it feels really good. At this time, the circle of "senior people" has been growing, and there are nearly 100 WeChat groups. The number of people involved in the release naturally increased. It doesn't matter if you don't have time. You can transfer money through WeChat. Sometimes, when people are released on the first day and fifteenth day, not to mention the important festivals of buddhas and bodhisattvas, they always invite bird dealers. Of course, the accounts will not be made public. Someone questioned behind my back, but I still disagree. It can be said that my mind is full of water.
"Master" often says to people around him: First, try not to go to temples, because there were many fake monks in the last French era; Second, there is no need for conversion; Third, learning Buddhism is for the good fortune of the world. Have special requirements for me. I don't want to know what the Buddhist scriptures say, just recite them directly. Although I had many questions at that time, I quickly gave up my idea out of trust and superstition.
Then I went bankrupt in a daze. At this time, there is a dead heart. Later, the "master" was reported by the enlightened brothers for illegal wealth collection and many other things, which sounded the alarm for everyone and the Dojo was banned by the government. This story is enough to write a novella. If you write it down again, it will be beside the point.
Enlightened brother pulled me into the Buddhist group. Before that, my wife and I converted in Ciyun Temple and both became laymen. Since joining the group, some good knowledge has often been sent out in the group. I was a little slack. With everyone's encouragement, I recited the Diamond Sutra diligently. Watch the explanations of the old monk and Master Lv Hui repeatedly. I constantly draw nutrition from the Diamond Sutra, and it is common to bear the burden of humiliation. Adversity makes people. I freed myself from superstition and went to believe.
Good karma and evil karma are also different in causality. But I still thank the "master" for leading me into Buddhism and making me become a Buddha. "Master" is quoted, but I don't quote it. Write in the end, feeling a lot, that is, a poem:
Good karma and bad karma are both karma.
It's like hanging your ears on both sides.
No, left, right, neither side.
The Buddha's heart is in the heart.
How does the Tathagata sit down?
The five aggregates are illusory.
Be humiliated by paramita
Bad karma can also turn over the ferry.
Superstition is like a cloud covering the sun.
Zheng Xin pulled through the clouds and Wan Li days.
Buddhism should not seek outside the heart.
With an empty heart, shining with bright light.
Writing this article is to pray for brothers to stay away from superstition, establish a correct view of Buddhism and avoid detours. Close to good knowledge. Only by going deep into the scriptures can we be as wise as the sea.
