The Buddhist saints gather the causes and conditions of 23. Encourage good and abandon evil and sage virtue to sing incense

23. Advocate good and abandon evil and sage to scent

The poem says:

A virtuous woman wears clothes and wraps up the saints, and she is compassionate and slanders and encourages the good to cultivate;

Good deeds are born in heaven because of blessings, and they are wearing golden rays of fragrance.

In the capital of Magadha, India, there was an elder who had a wealthy family and a great reputation.He adopted a marriage partner's introduction and hired the daughter of a virtuous elder outside the city as his wife. After getting married, the wife became pregnant shortly afterwards.

The elder's wife, since she was pregnant, her mouth has been constantly emitted a subtle fragrance, which has spread all over the country.Anyone who smells the wonderful fragrance feels very strange. He doesn't know where such a subtle fragrance comes from? He speculates about its source one after another.

After hearing this wonderful fragrance, the King of the World ordered officials at all levels to secretly search for the source of the subtle fragrance.Soon, the origin of Miaoxiang was discovered, which came from the elder's wife.She had no such fragrance at first, and this strange thing happened after she was pregnant.

The person who discovered the source of this wonderful fragrance ran quickly to report to the king. Ah, the King of the World was very happy, so he summoned the elder and said to him:

Xianqing! If your wife gives birth to a boy, please give it to me.

The elder's wife had a ten-month pregnancy and gave birth to a baby, not a boy, but a girl with a dignified appearance.This girl is different. When she was first born, she had a golden robe dress and naturally put on her body. Her mother felt it was strange and took it off. However, after taking it off, she was born again and never showed her body. No matter how she took it off, she couldn't take it off.Everyone thinks that this girl is blessed.But I still find it strange, guess what kind of blessings she had in the past to get the blessings of Miaoxiang and Baoyi?

Everyone in Raksha City felt the same way, so they launched a representative to Lingshan (That is, Lingjiu Mountain ),May I ask the Buddha.Because everyone will ask the Buddha if anything strange or unsolvable is something that cannot be solved. Only Buddha can have a way to know and solve difficult things completely.

At this time, Shakyamuni Buddha was preaching the wonderful method on Mount Lingjiu outside the city of Raja.After the representatives of the people came to the Buddha's throne and bowed respectfully, they asked the Buddha: World Honored One! What kind of blessings can this elder woman have in her previous life? She can get this wonderful fragrance and golden woven robes and wear them naturally? I hope the World Honored One can give merciful teachings to relieve the doubts of the whole family.

The Buddha said: In the past, there was a poor woman born in the countryside and very poor. One day, she went out and encountered heavy rain.At this time, an old monk was a saint who attained the level of Pratyekabuddha. He fell to the ground because of the heavy rain, broke his knees and kept bleeding.Seeing this, the poor woman hurriedly helped him up, washed away the mud and blood for him, tore off her clothes, and wrapped the wounds for the old monk.

Although this poor woman was born in the countryside, she had not received much education and could not understand the profound Buddhist teachings, she knew that the Buddha was a great saint who completely realized the truth of the universe and life. The Buddhist teachings were vast and boundless, and there was nothing in heaven and earth that could be compared with the Buddha.

She knew that the merits of respecting the Three Jewels and offering to monks were immeasurable.She also knows that disrespectful to the three treasures of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, or slandering and causing trouble to monks is a violation of the harmony of monks. (One of the five sins )The great sins of the world are extremely sinful.Therefore, she not only sincerely respects the Three Jewels, but also praises Buddhism's greatness in saving the world and benefiting people everywhere.

It makes him abandon evil and practice good, and explains the sins and retribution of slandering monks and nuns, so that he can repent and respect the Three Jewels.Those who create oral karma and slander the Three Jewels are educated by her. Because of her words, they will be blessed with sin and blessings.This virtuous woman, because she had such kind intention, tear her clothes apart, rescued the old monk, and wrapped her wounds. She also advised those who commit verbal karma to change their evil and do good. She sowed such good causes and conditions, and the blessings she received were unique.Therefore, after the death, the above is born in the Trayastrimsa Heaven and is a heavenly being, enjoying the blessings of heaven for thousands of years, and after the longevity of heaven, the next generation is born in the world. Therefore, this treasure robes are naturally worn, and the auspicious signs of wonderful fragrance are revealed with the mother's mouth.

The poem says:

The good heart and holy mouth bring good fortune and fragrance, protect the monk's body and virtues;

The reincarnation of humans and heavens has many wonderful joys, all because of admonition of virtuous people.

Notes:

(one )This story comes from the beginning of the ten volumes of the Buddha's metaphor.

(two )Tear off your worn-out clothes and wrap the old monk's wounds, which means you will get the blessing of being born in heaven and wear natural golden twigs.Advise those who commit verbal karma to abandon evil and do good, and then they will receive the blessing of the wonderful fragrance of their mouths, and their merits will be immeasurable.

(three )Those who commit oral karma criticize monks and nuns for right and wrong, besides falling into the hell of the tongue after death and suffering from all kinds of suffering, they also suffer from the suffering of blindness, deafness and slurs for generations; they are slandered by others for generations, and smelly mouths. No one will believe what they say, and suffer immeasurable.
