If the bad guys are not punished as they deserve, why should we be bad guys? If good people are not rewarded, why us? ...

It is natural that a person who has done something wrong will get what he deserves. As long as you sow today, there will be retribution in the future. How to learn Buddhism? For example, if a fortune teller calculates that there will be a big robbery, an accident and a car accident, and no one will participate, this is a big reward. There are many retribution, but after doing a lot of good things, the retribution is very light, but there will still be retribution. Even if one knows that it is inevitable, one should try to avoid it, which is also human instinct. When a person is rewarded, don't hate why karma finds him, but see if he is still planting a cause, and a cause will surely bear fruit. -from "29". Shut your mouth. "

Everyone knows that "good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil". In fact, this sentence is correct from the perspective of Buddhism. Good thoughts refer to good thoughts. All good deeds and thoughts will be recorded and rewarded in due course. Similarly, evil thoughts and actions will be recorded and punished, and the retribution will be unpleasant. It's just that good thoughts can't offset the evil thoughts and deeds. That is to say, when a person has done a lot of good deeds and a great evil, so will his good deeds and evil deeds. This is why some people are recognized as good people, but they suffer in hell after death.

Merit is a very important factor in Buddhism. What is merit? What's the use? In fact, merit means doing good deeds, but what must be done in front of Bodhisattva is doing good deeds. At ordinary times, our thoughts of doing good deeds, whether spontaneous or influenced by Buddhism, remain at the level of self-expression if we don't make a wish in front of the bodhisattva. For example, if a person is a vegetarian and has been eating for many years, but never makes a wish in front of a bodhisattva, then even if he is a vegetarian for ten years, it can only be a personal hobby. Therefore, we should do good deeds in front of the Bodhisattva, be charitable and help others, and even be filial to our parents and be kind to our brothers and sisters. However, in temples, Kannonji and other places where bodhisattvas and buddhas are supported, any good deeds are merits, and there is no need to start over. It's like our documents have to be signed before they can take effect legally. Kindness and kindness can only be transformed into merit under the witness of Bodhisattva.

And what is the use of merit? Everyone knows the harm of karma or karma. They lurk in people's consciousness like viruses in programs. When time comes, they strengthen into spirituality and begin to have an impact on people. This is why some people suddenly become critically ill from being very healthy, or have an accident, or get robbed. Even some people have too deep karma, their lives are not good, their faces are black, and they complain. In this life, if you do evil or kill things, if there are still blessings that are not used up, then bad karma will also become bad karma and be deposited in the consciousness of Alaye. Aya knowledge is the eighth of the eight senses, also known as "Aya knowledge", which is the basic knowledge. There are countless seeds in Arya's knowledge, which can trigger people's good and evil behaviors (mainly referring to thinking activities). Bad karma is hidden here, and only merit can offset it, thus achieving the effect of cleaning up bad karma. This is "the body is a bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, and it is often wiped frequently, and it is not dust". It is necessary to rely on merits to brush away the dust in the heart. Therefore, an important function of merit is to eliminate and offset evil obstacles, which is the primary task of people who practice Buddhism and cultivate their hearts. Only by removing the evil obstacles can new soul, open wisdom and realize the possibility of enlightenment.

How is the length of retribution determined?

Q: Master, some people repay immediately, and the retribution period is very short. But if you look at the totem, you will know that some people have a long retribution period and will not report it in their later years or even in their next life. Excuse me, how is the length of this retribution period determined? Why is the gap between people's retribution cycles so long? How does the length of this cycle affect this result? Please enlighten me.

A: Of course, this has an impact, because it depends on the survival rate of your "reporting", the thing you did yourself, and the karma you reported, which is called survival rate in today's words. For example, if you kill a person today and you can't keep him alive, then he will rebound immediately and report it now, that's it; If you insult others today and you don't hurt others, then your retribution will be slower; If you hurt someone for a lifetime today, the injury is not over yet, and you are still being rewarded, so he won't give you a reward until you let them all end under the influence of this sentence. Let's give a simple example. If the husband and wife are separated, then this woman has been suffering since she left this man ... when she has not suffered enough, the person who made mischief for her divorce will not report it. Wait until this woman has suffered enough, and finally give him a summary: How many karma have you caused her all her life? Then report to him, hehe (oh, I see. Thank you, master. )
