Conquer the beautiful chairman
Chapter 624
Chen Yao turned and looked out of the window at the quiet and deep night sky: "when it comes to good and evil, there are different opinions. Before the development of science, the ancients paid more attention to cause and effect, but fewer and fewer people believe in cause and effect in modern times, because modern people only believe in science, and everything other than science is superstitious and outdated.
"Throughout history, there are villains who live happily for a while, and gentlemen who die of bad luck. In today''s society, it seems that good people often have no good returns, but bad people call the wind and rain; Is karma true or false? Is it made up by Buddha to scare people? Is it the Buddha who told people to do good? "
"In fact, I also have this question..." Zhang Wei said: "I always feel that good and evil are rewarded. Although it is in line with everyone''s psychology, I still think it is not credible..."
"We are ordinary people. Ordinary people don''t have wisdom. After watching for a while, we can''t see one life, this life and the afterlife... Let me give you some examples. Maybe, you should get something."
Chen Yao said: "the negative example: we all know that he Lu committed many evils during his reign, but he was deeply favored by Emperor Qianlong. He remained in power for a long time and covered up the sky with his own hands. The embezzled money was equivalent to the financial revenue of the Qing Dynasty for ten years. However, few people understand that he was frequently visited by misfortune before he died. Before he was arrested by Emperor Jiaqing, he was killed, There are all kinds of bad looks in the family, which are all recorded in historical materials
"On the seventh day of July in the first year of Jiaqing in China, his second son, who was regarded as the apple of his eye, died at the age of two. Only two months later, He Lin, the governor of Sichuan Province, his younger brother, died of malaria in the army; He Lin is also a pillar of his official career. He Lin''s sudden death makes him extremely sad. In the second year of Jiaqing, He Lin''s grandson also died. In February of the third year of Jiaqing, He Lin''s wife Feng, who had been married for 30 years, also left. In less than a year, he himself became a ghost under the spring
"After his death, his son found a piece of land in Jizhou, Hebei Province to bury the Heshen... Heshen lived only 49 years old. The most confident, intelligent and deceitful generation of traitors was that they didn''t believe in retribution and ended up in a miserable situation far worse than the poor people... Let''s look at the modern, Wu Tenglan and Chen Guanxi, Love of Mishima, and Mary, who relies on sex appeal to enter the world, how can she get a good end? "
Zhang Wei listened attentively.
"Let me give you another positive example." Chen Yao simply sat up and leaned against the head of the bed: "the most important filial piety in China is Shun. Since childhood, his stepmother has been very cruel to him. He tried to kill him several times, but failed. Shun''s life at home is worse than that of a pig or a dog. However, Shun does not hate his stepmother, but often corrects his own mistakes, After his stepmother fell ill, Shun himself decocted and tasted the medicine for her, and served her meticulously. The insensitive stepmother was finally moved by Emperor Shun''s sincerity and filial piety.
"When King Yao heard about this, he not only abdicated the throne to shun, but also assigned his two daughters to shun. Until the spring and Autumn period, the state of Chen was the descendants of Shun
"The other is Confucius, the first person in China to accumulate merits and virtues. When Confucius was alive, he was respected by the society, not to mention that his descendants now have more than two million. The Confucian genealogy, which covers the whole inheritance history of the Confucius family, is characterized by long delay, clear clan, wide compilation, verification, style preparation and preservation, It is listed as the world''s longest genealogy by Jin''s world record, and can be promoted to Confucius from any generation. Moreover, the descendants often give birth to saints. Up to now, they are the descendants of the seventy-seven generations, with constant fragrance. They are known as the first family in the world.
"Today, there are more than 3 billion people in the world. Why is the biggest family in the world Confucius sage, not others? If it''s not destined, please ask the lottery experts, silly bear, how slim the chance is
"Fan Zhongyan, the second person in China who has accumulated merits and virtues, has been poor since he was a child, diligent in learning and studying, happy for the country and the people, worried first and happy later. He is a prime minister with rich official salary, but he lives a very frugal life. He provides all his parents and villagers with simple food and tea, and his salary until his old age. However, the descendants of the fifty-first generation are all from famous families, and they are distinguished and proficient from generation to generation."
Zhang Wei, with his mouth slightly open, sat up, leaned against the head of the bed and looked at Chen Yao: "er... This..."
"Why is it a coincidence that Confucius is so popular that his descendants are more than two million, and there are often virtuous people? Why is it so hard for many people to have one son? Emperor Shun has 34 sons now? Kong laofuzi always said: there will be more celebrations in a good family, and there will be more disasters in a bad family. He showed us the Dharma with his body. Yes, in our opinion, villains are often proud for a while, but why can''t ordinary families get out of the strange circle of being rich for less than three generations, while Fan Zhongyan''s descendants are distinguished from generation to generation? By chance? What''s the reason? "
"Yes, why?" Zhang Wei looks at Chen Yao.
"In fact, the reason is very simple, because most people''s ancestors know how to accumulate virtue, but their descendants don''t necessarily know how to accumulate virtue. There are two factors that often lead to the decline of the rich: first, if they have money, they will go bad, and they will lose their families naturally; 2、 Although the family has become rich, but often teach their children with no way, obedient doting on children, future generations have no virtue, sit and eat. So ordinary people can''t get out of the vicious circle of being rich but three generations. " Chen Yao looks at Zhang Wei and smiles.
"That''s the truth, but... When I was a child, the old people in my family used to say that many good people have short lives. Sister, why is that?"
"What''s the matter? Why do you ask so many strange questions today? Pan can''t go to hell, stimulate you? There are a lot of feelings. " Chen Yao looks at Zhang Wei: "silly bear, your sentence is very interesting. It''s equivalent to Hongyan''s bad life. It seems reasonable, but it''s wrong. Hongyan has a bad life, not Hongyan. It''s just that no one pays attention to it. The same kind of good people also have a short life, but bad people die more. It''s just that we don''t think bad people die too much.
"A good man, who is patriotic, law-abiding and serves the people, will go to jail? You say, if you break the law and are punished by the law, it''s karma. If the law is not based on punishing the evil and promoting the good, is it law? If all the people in the world are good people, they don''t need laws or police, they just need rules and leaders
"The law itself is also formulated to deal with the wicked. The reward system is formulated for good people, good people, model workers and law-abiding people, one in the sky and one in the ground... So, silly bear, if he does something bad and is punished by the law, it can be regarded as retribution. In fact, good people have a long life."
"Also, I''ll let you know today," Chen Yao said. "A big corrupt official is greedy for tens of millions, hundreds of millions, and he has the ability to escape abroad. Unfortunately, pan can''t be caught by you, and he doesn''t run away... But even if he goes abroad, how much can he spend? The ancients said that one generation of corrupt officials and nine generations of cattle are true! The corrupt official went to hell, and his family members did harm by sharing his stolen money. This is the truth
"If he understands this, I think he would not dare to take the money home even if he put the knife on his neck. He Lin is an example. Look at He Lin, not only did he die desolately, but also his family members suffered before he was executed. It''s really a heavenly net that never fails
"Also, those underworld people, in our opinion, often make waves and are proud for a while, but after 10 years or 30 years, today''s society is still stable, but there are still underworld forces who are tyrannical and evil. But if you think about it further, which of these underworld people will come to a good end?
"I heard that there is a man who lives on the road. He puts two locks on the door when he sleeps at night and has to hide a knife under his pillow at any time for fear that ghosts will knock at the door in the middle of the night. Do good people need this? Open the door and still sleep well. What''s more, these people on the road either cut me off today or I cut you off tomorrow. They are so worried that they call him big brother for others. Is it interesting? Even their families and children dare not let others know their whereabouts. They are afraid of harming their families. They want to stop, but they can''t. They are pitiful and compassionate. Aren''t Wang Jun and the four bald men living examples?
"Don''t look at pingsan and Pingsi. They are so popular in Yaobei. It''s not that they don''t report it. It''s not the time... The so-called" heaven does evil, it''s still against the law. "; You can''t live if you do it yourself. Such a result seems to have its contingency, but from the philosophical point of view that "things are the unity of universal connection and constant movement and change", this "contingency" contains "inevitability". As the saying goes, "good and evil will be rewarded in the end, just fight for early and late arrival." it''s also like the saying "if you can avoid the first day of junior high school, you can''t avoid the 15th day of junior high school..."
"It''s a pity that all living beings are more evil than good. There are more evildoers and less good doers. As the Bodhisattva of the king of Tibet said, though they have a good heart, they are fleeting. If they encounter evil, their thoughts will increase. Moreover, in today''s society, education is bankrupt. Only a little technology is taught in schools, and few people are taught how to behave. Let alone the digital media, turning on the TV is to kill people who steal and commit adultery, and connecting to the Internet is to be greedy, angry, stupid and slow. It''s really ruined our generations. It''s pathetic... "
Chen Yao sighed: "today''s scientific leaders have acknowledged the existence of the soul and are also studying reincarnation, but there is no way to confirm karma, because no matter how tiny the microscope is, there is no way to observe good and good, no matter how advanced the telescope is, there is no way to confirm evil and bad. Karma is a manifestation of the dialectical relationship between mind and things in phase
"Buddhism says: if there are thousands of calamities, only karma will not die; When the causes converge, the results will come back to you. If we understand the reason of cause and effect, we will cut off all the evil consequences and cultivate all good relationships. But we ordinary people are different. We only look at the present and do not care about the long term. We plant countless fruits for the benefit of the present. When we suffer, we only know to blame the heaven and others, but we don''t know that everything is self inflicted. Just as the so-called Bodhisattvas fear the cause and all living beings fear the fruit.
"For the sake of immediate interests, ordinary people get endless pain, while Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are more and more comfortable... Maybe that''s why I believe in Buddhism. I want my exhausted soul to seek peace and comfort in another space..."
"Elder sister, what you said is very good. We have known each other for a long time. It''s the first time that we heard you talk to me systematically and profoundly about these things," Zhang Wei said seriously. "In fact, I know that you didn''t sleep well just now. Pan can''t have touched you. It''s just that you don''t want to talk about it... You used to say that character determines fate, so, you say, Is destiny really unchangeable? "
"Silly bear, in my opinion, if we want to change our fate, we must first understand that parents are the biggest Futian in the three realms. The ancients said that there is an old man in a family, and if there is a treasure, this sentence has two meanings: first, the old man has rich social experience; second, he has rich social experience; 2、 To be filial to one''s parents is to plant a good fortune for oneself. The premise of changing one''s life is that filial piety is complete, otherwise it is false. People who are not filial to their parents are unlikely to come to a good end. No matter how big the blessings they made in the previous life are, you will not be able to get rid of them. What''s more, if they are not filial to their parents, the result is that their children are not filial to themselves. Teaching by example is better than teaching by words, You want to build a nursing home, I appreciate, support and support you very much... "Chen Yao patted Zhang Wei''s face.
"Alas... The plan doesn''t change as fast as it does. My money is gone in the twinkling of an eye. It''s gone..." Zhang Wei was a little annoyed.
