Buddhist Stories: Folk Stories: Unlucky Stories

Unlucky

In the Buddha's world, there was a young man who grew up with the lonely elder.The financial resources given to the lonely elder were very rich. From the king and the prince, they all admired him very much. Other scholars, farmers, workers and businessmen admired him even more. However, his friend has always been very troubled and bumpy. His name is "Unfortunate".

When Elder Lonely saw that he was so miserable, he asked him to help with housework. However, if he wanted to call Elder Lonely, he had to keep talking, it would be "unfortunate" ──For example: "Unfortunate comes!", "Unfortunate sits!", "Unfortunate eats!" Therefore, the elder's family and friends didn't like him very much, so they said to the lonely elder, "You quit him! It's best to stay away from him."The elder Lonely asked in confusion: "This person is very good! Why should you quit him and stay away from him?" Everyone said: "Because his name is misfortune, he sees misfortune every day, hears misfortune, and calls misfortune again. This doesn't seem to be very good for us!"

The elder said, "You are wrong, the Buddha once told me ──A person’s destiny comes from a career. Life is a blessing or misfortune. It depends on what he did in his past life. If there is a blessing in his past life, the current situation is a blessing; if there is no blessing in his past life, the experience in this life will be very bumpy.If he comes with blessings, even if his name is misfortune, he will still be a person with great blessings.If there is no blessing, even if his name is "Sage Man", he may not be virtuous, nor will he be lucky! So we should not be superstitious about names. The important thing is to look at the causes of past lives and the causes of present lives!" Because the elders often listen to the Buddha's teachings, he understands the karma of misfortunes and good fortune.Since the elder said that, everyone had nothing to say.

After a while, the elder lonely had something to do and took his family out.A group of robbers knew that the elder was taking his servants out, so they planned to take the opportunity to rob.They set a time, and one night, the robbers were ambushing around the elders' homes, waiting for the opportunity to start.This "unfortunate" is very responsible because he knows that the elders have given him great favors. Although so many people reject him, the elders still protect him and allow him to stay. Therefore, he doubled his efforts in this family, whether in time or strength, and got up to patrol before dawn every day, and still patrolled around carefully until dark.

That day he found that some people outside had very suspicious walking, and might have bad intentions, so he quickly asked others to take out all the gongs, drums, etc., and everyone beat the drums and beat the gongs.In that moment, the gongs and drums were loud and gongs frightened the thieves and robbers to escape. In a hurry, their weapons, stones and sticks were all abandoned on the ground.

The next day, when the elder's servant came out and saw that everyone was very surprised, because they saw the weapons scattered all over the ground, which was so dangerous! If the group of thieves and robbers entered the robbery, all the treasures in the family would have been robbed! After the elder came back, everyone quickly told him and praised him, "Unfortunately" was a wise man. If this family had not been taken care of by him so carefully, they would have suffered heavy losses.”

After hearing this, I thanked Elder Lonely happily, and went to the Jetavana to report to the Buddha what happened at home to the Lonely Garden.The Buddha said, "Yes! This is because you are wise and able to convince your family and friends to suspicion and keep such a good person; if you are as superstitious as them, then you will be unable to escape this disaster.Because you can recognize people, know how to sow such causes, and get such results without judging people by name, you have this kind of blessing."This is the Buddha's praise for the lonely elder.

Some people complain about the world when encountering a little bump, think that their destiny is not good, and they are anxious to find someone to change their fortunes, hoping to change their destiny. This is wrong.In fact, the most important thing is what kind of karma you have created in your past life; changing fortunes, eliminating disasters, and changing your name. Since ancient times, this superstition has been deeply imprinted in people's hearts. In fact, the name given to us by our parents in this life has nothing to do with destiny, but what is important is our current behavior.Because the karma created in this life will be brought to the next life.Now if you can adjust your words and deeds well, you can get good fortune.In short, only by having the causes of the past life can the results of this life. Only by benefiting more and cultivating wisdom and having enough blessings can disasters be eliminated and bad luck turn into good luck.
