Master Xuanhua: ridicule and slander others for offering sacrifices to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will receive this kind of evil retribution

Chinese Master 2014-12-11

If you ridicule and slander other people for offering sacrifices to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, you will receive this kind of evil retribution.What kind of evil retribution?It means that you have to go through a thousand kalpas in hell, another thousand kalpas in the hungry ghost realm, and another thousand kalpas in the animal realm, and then you have to go through a thousand kalpas in the animal realm, and then you have to go through a thousand kalpas in the human realm.When you are a human being, you will be poor and lowly, and you will not have such evil retribution.Someone asked, do you have to go through a thousand disasters before you can become a human being?Is this all certain?Yes, this is certain, this is the law of hell that Sakyamuni Buddha said in his own words.

But there is another special situation, which may not be certain. What special situation is it?For example, this hungry ghost is going to be in the hungry ghost realm for a thousand kalpas, but when he is a hungry ghost, he develops compassion to protect people, or protect other people to practice Taoism, or when he sees other people worship Buddha or Bodhisattva, he also worships Buddha with his intention to protect those who practice Taoism.In this way, because he made good achievements during his sinful period, he could become a human being or an animal without going through a thousand kalpas.

Or when it is an animal, it is close to those who believe in Buddhism, or live in temples or in the homes of those who believe in Buddhism. If it is practiced and practiced every day, it will also believe in Buddhism invisibly, and its sins can be reduced. It does not require a thousand kalpas in the animal realm to be a human being.It seems that when Mr. Xu was in Yunnan, two geese were sent to the temple to practice with the people in the temple. The monks in the temple went to the hall to chant the Buddha's name, and it also followed the Buddha's name and chanted the Buddha's name. After three years, it stood in front of the Buddha and passed away. This is all a special cause and condition, and it will not take another thousand kalpas to become a human being.

If he is poor and humble when he is a human being, he knows that he is poor and humble and does not possess all kinds of abilities. It is because he slandered the Three Jewels, did not listen to Buddhism, and was disrespectful to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, so he received this kind of retribution.Now that he has reformed himself, made great progress, or even ate vegetarianism and chanted Buddha's name, or practiced the Tao, or even became a monk (nickname). If he reformed himself, he would not fall into the evil path soon.

In short, it depends on whether every sentient being has special causes and conditions.If there is a special cause and effect, it would not have been so long.Therefore, Buddhism is active and the most reasonable.It’s not that you have repented and you have to suffer for such a long time.As long as you can repent, the "Samortificate of Practice and Vows of Samantabhadra" does not mean that if our sins have a physical form, each of our own karma would have long broken the void.Fortunately, karma has no form and you can't see it, so you don't need to prepare a place to save it.

If you can repent, even many sins can be eliminated. That is why you say, "Pray in front of the Buddha, sins will be destroyed by the river sand." If you worship in front of the Buddha and develop a true repentance, then the sins of the river sand will be eliminated and gone.He also said, "A penny of money will increase your blessings." Save money in front of the Three Jewels, do your true heart, and develop a heart of offering. How much money will you have, so that your blessings will be immeasurable.Therefore, everything is not certain, because the Dharma is not certain, so people’s karma is not certain.
