Buddhist Stories: Hundred Metaphors Stories Widely Explained: 21, Killing Sons and Seeking Sons

21. Kill a son and ask for a son

Parents all over the world wanted to live a long life and have many children and grandchildren. The ancestral hall is vast and long, which is the greatest wish of parents. And I hope that my son will become a dragon and my daughter will become a phoenix. Who doesn't want his son to get ahead? However, every desire must first be brought up at a price, and it needs to be educated with hard work to become a learned, intellectual, and kind person, all of which require a lot of spirit. If you don't pay first, I'm afraid all hope will be disappointed, and there will be the opposite result. Is this the justice of the world? Or karma?

Once upon a time there was a middle-aged lady whose husband had died for several years, leaving behind a son. But the lady wished she could have another son. In addition to his usual hard work, he went everywhere to pray to God and Buddha to burn incense and worship. She doesn't want glory and wealth, and she doesn't want to have another husband and son-in-law, she just wants to have another son, isn't it a contradictory thing?

When a witch found out about this, she came to his house and asked, "Do you want a son?" Yes, mother-in-law, do you have a way to get me a son?. As long as you are willing to ask God, God is omnipotent, and everything can be done to fulfill people's wishes. How to ask for sensing? Just worship with a generous gift. What kind of gifts? It's a human sacrifice! Isn't that going to kill someone? Yes, it's better or your relatives I have only one son is, preferably your son. This widow was eager to have a son and was also superstitious about the omnipotence of God, so she killed her son without thinking about it to sacrifice to God.

Now that the Son is dead, can God send down a Son from heaven to him? Everyone said that widows were stupid and superstitious, and witches were treacherous and harmful! Is this God's fault or a witch?

People cannot live without religious beliefs, and without religious beliefs they have no spiritual support and no comfort, just like children who have lost their parents, they will not only have no one to educate them, but they will also learn badly. Because children without parents have no one to supervise them, and there are many bad habits in society, it is easy to learn badly, and once they learn bad habits, their future will be over.

Religion must also have rational faith, blind faith, if you believe in a cult, it is better to have no faith. There are also many evil teachers in society, and if they do not have wisdom, they are easily attracted by evil cults, and as for superstition and small financial losses, if they have a communion with ghosts and gods, as the saying goes: It is easy to please God and it is difficult to send God. What is even more terrifying is that in the future, it will be the greatest wrong.

Some pagans say, "God is omnipotent." As long as people are willing to believe in God, God will solve everything for you. Do you think it's possible? Can someone else go to jail for you if you break the law? Can others get sick and suffer for you and die for you? Can you starve others if you have enough to eat? Can someone else take your place in the toilet when you go to the toilet? It's impossible! He also seeks wealth and longevity, and can even take refuge in disasters, and in the future he can ascend to heaven and become the son of God, is God really so omnipotent? Then why doesn't God make everyone rich and happy, and the world at peace? If you need someone to pray or give a gift to be blessed, isn't it the same as a corrupt official?

God is a sage of ancient times, or loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness and was revered as a god, and those who believe in God should learn the greatness of God. Ask for its blessing in any matter, as if you were a father and mother to help their son. Parents help their sons achieve the cause of benefiting the crowd and be a great person, not doting. On the other hand, if you depend on everything, you will become a useless person. If you have to respond to your request, I am afraid that God will not be like a rogue to help you do things.

There are also some laymen in India who say that all suffering in the world is caused by the sinful karma of previous lives (which is true), so we must endure all the suffering in order to be happy (birth). Therefore there are those who stand with one foot day and night, those who are tormented by the fire, those who lie on thorns and suffer, those who hang upside down from trees, and those who are hungry and do not eat or drink! The purpose of all kinds of austerities is to give birth to heaven, and they are all the same as killing children and seeking children, because they are not the Fa-rectification.
