Master Daozheng: If you encounter a sudden disaster and die suddenly, can you be reborn?

Han people 2023-07-24

I will introduce another old lady Pan Xieyingmei. I didn’t know her at first. On the evening of New Year’s Eve, when I opened the door of the clinic to get off work, I saw a young man telling me that because his mother-in-law had a car accident, they rushed back from the United States. When they returned to China last year, my mother-in-law told them about the funeral, saying that if something happened to her, she hoped to ask Master Chan and Lianshe Lianjia for her to chant. However, because he could not call Dayin Temple, he did not contact Master Chan and someone asked him to find Master Chan to see if he could help her.When Mo Xue heard that she had received the Bodhisattva precepts and recited the Buddha's name quite hard, she once told her children not to move her and not to cry when she was dying. As long as she recited the Buddha's name well, she knew that she was a lotus friend who practiced the same Pure Land method. At that time, she thought: "If someone worked so hard, he would still encounter a car accident, let alone a person like Mo Xue!" She decided to help her quickly, and she would fulfill her wish and help her to pass away smoothly.That night, he ran to the hospital where she was staying to see her. At the entrance of the hospital, he saw a young man who seemed to be studying the major events of his death on the public phone. He felt intuition that it was her son. Thinking of the pain of all sentient beings suffering from birth, old age, illness, death and love separation, he felt a burst of sorrow in his heart.She was in the ICU and was in a coma for several days, but when she chanted Buddha's name for her, she shed tears.That night, the lotus friends from the Lotus Club enthusiastically went to communicate with her husband about chanting before they had dinner. Their children were very filial and wanted to help their mother fulfill their wishes and go to the West. They also took down the family that had been hung on the wall of their homes and replaced them with photos of great monks and masters, so as not to get in love with the Saha world and not be able to pass away, and to suffer from long-term suffering. This is really wise.

She was the next day (Lunar New Year's eve )After rebirth, many lotus friends and seniors went to chant, but none of the people who went to chant were known to her. They made an appointment with thirty or forty people. When I saw her handwritten vows on the Buddha table, which was yellowed by incense. (Samantabhadra's Vows Verse )At that time, tears burst out. Her son said that she often went to chant for others. She had given her children a list of people who had prepared a book, but unfortunately on New Year's Eve, those people returned home and were busy. They were anxious. Unexpectedly, so many people who didn't know each other came to chant for them. It was really a coincidence of cause and effect. As long as the "cause" is honest and the "result" is right.

Originally, Chinese people were very taboo to be funerals on New Year's Eve, but Buddhists would not care about these things. We only hope that one more person can be the Buddha, so that they can save countless sentient beings. We are afraid that the family members of the bereaved family will forget their "faith" and "wish" in their sorrow! Later, after her cremation, the green and yellow-white relics moved her husband, who originally complained: "I am so poor and I don't cook fish for me to eat.” (From this we can tell her character ),He said, "Every day when I watch TV, she crosses her legs and counts and chants the Buddha's name with a large handful of "incense feet". Sometimes I blame her, but I didn't expect that my wife really succeeded in practicing for her!" What I felt incredible was that the last rosary on her hand was on her last hand. (Star Moon Bodhizi ),In the cremation high heat, there were two still intact and not burned.Her son, daughter and son-in-law are all doctoral students studying in the United States, and she is also incredible about this.

If you work hard on chanting Buddha's name, you will not give up your efforts in a bad way; if you are not satisfied with the cause and effect, you will still have to pay back what you should pay.A Buddhist disciple once asked the Buddha: "If you encounter a sudden disaster and die suddenly, can you be reborn?" The Buddha's metaphor said: If a tree grows to the east and suddenly cuts off, it will still fall to the east.When we recite the Buddha's name, it is like a tree that tends to grow westward, and grows westward every day. Even if it is suddenly cut off, it still falls to westward.However, we have to ask ourselves, are we growing towards the West? (I'm afraid there is a big problem! ),This heart usually grows in all directions, rather than straight to the west.Twenty-four hours a day, the time for truly chanting Buddha's name sincerely may not exceed five minutes. If someone works hard and recites it for a few hours a day, he doesn't know how many of them are the true corresponding Buddha's name.So, this tree is really growing in a mess. If it is cut suddenly, it is hard to say which side it will fall.

Like this old lady, she wrote her instructions and instructions to explain her death in her diary, and later she found her children. Fortunately, the handling situation was consistent with her mother's will, otherwise she would regret it for the rest of her life.There is an article in her diary that touched Mo Xue deeply. She has a son who was the head of Fengjia University. She died in a car accident a few years ago. At that time, she was still studying Buddhism and felt the heart-wrenching pain in her life. She wrote: "Today is the day when my son and I will part forever, and it is the saddest moment in my life."How sad it is for a mother to suffer the blow of "white black hair"! But an amazing person is not buried in pain and sad all day long.He will be enlightened through the pains of birth, old age, illness, death, love separation, meeting with enemies and hatred, and the blazing of the five aggregates, find a path to liberation, practice well, and embark on the footsteps of the saints.Let us move towards the eternal and endless Amitabha Dharma Assembly and rush to the joyful, cool and warm Lotus Pond Sea Association.

Master Yin Guang once said: "You should make a vow to be reborn, and you should be in love with the rivers and mountains. You will get it if you don't return. Who will fight for the wind and moon in my hometown?" Let's stop wandering anymore! Isn't it great to learn from Master Hongyi and others to open up the inner world of "the branches are full of spring, the sky is full of moons", and isn't it great to recite the Buddha's name well? This method of chanting Buddha is a special method of 84,000 methods of sage, the most beautiful and fastest achievement! Every day when you recite it sincerely, it is really like a child. As I waited for the song "The train flies quickly, the train flies quickly, cross the mountains, and passes through the stream", my heart has overcome many tests when chanting the Buddha's name, just like passing through the mountains and passes through the stream, and it is like this song: "Mom is so happy to see it." Amitabha Buddha, this endless compassionate parents have already stretched out their hands and waited for us for a long time. How happy will they be when we see us return! Thinking of "Welcome to the Bodhisattva, Amitabha's Waiting Gate", I heard the sound of compassion from afar, why don't I run away with joy?
