How to read fortune-telling Buddhist scriptures

Fortune telling and folding Buddhist scriptures

It comes from a Buddhist story.

A story

? (1) Once upon a time, there was a wealthy businessman who was widowed and raised orphans. Because the fortuneteller said, "This son looks strange, and he must be the son of heaven in the future", he placed infinite hopes on his son, indulged him without discipline, and made him arrogant and extravagant since childhood, brave and ruthless, and bullied and hurt his happiness every minute.

? (2) Once, my son was injured in a fight, and his mother swore angrily, "When my son becomes the son of heaven in the future, I will kill your family for revenge. This is the origin of the phrase "kill the knife first, then ascend to heaven". Because of their ulterior motives, they were blessed, and the mother and son died of poverty.

The story of two Buddhist scriptures

? (1) is an anthology of popular serious Buddhist stories translated today.

? (2) Because there were many Buddhist scriptures translated in Jin, Song and Qi Liang Dynasties, there were also many anecdotes about ghosts and gods, so the ghosts and gods of China and India were included in the novel at that time, which made it more developed. "It can be seen that the literary value of Buddhist stories and their influence on the literary history of China since the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties are very significant.
