How much is the fortune-telling in Guangxiao Temple?

If you see a ghost, don't be afraid-my road to learning Buddhism (repost)

A few days ago, I saw several fellow initiates discussing whether there are ghosts in this world, and I really want to respond. But I hesitated for a long time before posting this post, for fear that others would accuse me of propagating superstition.

Whether there is a ghost in this world, you have never seen it, and you may not believe it. Let me tell you a true story. You can not believe it, but don't deny it in a hurry. There are too many things we don't know in this world, but we can't say that we don't know.

As long as I can remember, my mother taught me to worship Buddha and burn incense, and a Guanyin bodhisattva has been enshrined at home. However, if it is not an event that I will never forget, my understanding of Buddhism can only stay in asking the Bodhisattva to bless my academic progress, my family is healthy, I can grow up quickly when I go to the Buddha table, and I can live long after eating peanuts given by Master.

16 years old, studying in a boarding girls' school. The school was located in a remote suburb at that time. Before becoming a school, it was a mass grave, and there was a special execution place not far away. At that time, the school stipulated that I could only go home on Saturday afternoon and go back to school on Sunday afternoon. After studying at night every day, I can only chat in the dormitory or practice the piano, which is quite boring. One day, a large group of girls didn't know how to talk about playing with ghosts and gods. They heard that ghosts and gods are ghosts, and they will tell you whatever questions you ask, including what you will look like in the future. Everyone was refreshed when they heard it. Although they were a little scared, they gave it a try out of strong curiosity. Everyone has discussed it. It is said that it is not easy to invite several people at the same time. Being with three girls at the same time. Everyone else is watching and asking questions. It's really incredible to get close to the spirit body for the first time. Why didn't anyone force the silver coin to point to a written answer? It's like a force pulling your fingers out of your control.

If the first time I invited Disc Fairy, my mood was half surprised and half happy, then the second time I was full of expectations. Everyone is not interested in listening to the class, and what questions are in their minds. The propaganda Committee also specially drew a picture of the disc fairy. During that time, inviting the disc fairy became our biggest entertainment in the evening.

After many days of peace, one night, what we were afraid of finally happened. On this day, when three girls including me invited Disc Fairy again, it was time to turn off the lights in the dormitory, and we invited Disc Fairy home as usual. But no matter how hard we try, the silver coin will never return to its original place. At that time, everyone was scared, but no one dared to withdraw their fingers, because whoever let go before Disc Fairy came back, the ghost would get on her body. Later, after a long stalemate, there was no way out, and the three men held hands at the same time. From this time on, we really feel scared, because it is not a person, you can't see or touch it, but it knows everything about you, but you know nothing about it. It lives in your body, you are not you, you have to be controlled by it. What a terrible thing! ! !

Those students who have participated in the invitation of disc fairy and ask the spirits can no longer live a normal life. We have been asking the disc fairy to come out and talk to it, begging it to let us go, begging it to go back. But no matter how hard we try, it just won't go. Sometimes when you take notes in class in broad daylight, your hands will involuntarily scribble on books and notes. I'm too scared to sleep at night. I'm really afraid that if I fall asleep, I'll jump off a building and be the scapegoat. I'm only sixteen, and I don't want to die! I haven't seen enough of this world, I haven't repaid my parents, I haven't repaid my grandmother who raised me since I was a child, and I don't want to go to that deserted unknown world alone!

Even one day, we saw a classmate tying a wreath in the dormitory. She said that Disc Fairy made her burn a wreath. Don't laugh, it looks ridiculous and ignorant! But at that time, no matter what it requires, as long as we can do it and die, we will try our best to do it. I also tried to make a paper car and burn it. Alas, if my art teacher knows that his branch representative has actually used his art knowledge in this respect, he will be saddened. I saw my ghost in a daze dream. This is a family of three, dressed in white, and their faces are not very clear. That man asked me to call it "Mr. Star". I'm really scared. How could I be so unlucky! There is only one ghost in others. Why did I invite three? ! !

/kloc-the world of 0/6 years old is very small, only parents, teachers and classmates. What should I do if I encounter such a problem? Who can help me? I dare not tell my parents at all, nor can I tell my teacher. Will anyone believe me if I say it? Will you send me to a mental hospital? Fear, regret, helplessness, despair ... people are about to collapse. You can sleep if you don't want to eat, let alone study.

Finally, when I got home, I went to Guangxiao Temple unconsciously. After the Buddhist ceremony, I didn't know where to go and didn't want to go home. I sat on the stone bench in front of the Guanyin statue of white marble and cried all the time. Passers-by stared at me, and I didn't care. I don't know how long I cried. An aunt in her forties came to ask me what was going on, so I told her everything. This kind brother introduced me to convert. She said that as long as I convert, I will not only be blessed and protected by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but also be protected by many dharma protectors. In this way, I converted to the abbot of Guangxiao Temple at that time-the great monk Ben Huan sat down. The old monk is very kind. He gave me a biography of Sakyamuni Buddha written by the nebula master and a string of beads to make me attached. He told me that the ghosts in my body may be my unjust creditors in previous lives. As long as I seriously read Amitabha Namo and return my merits to them, I hope they can get the mercy of Amitabha and lead them to the western paradise. I'll be fine. He told me not to think about them, because if you do, it will have an induction with you and come uninvited. If you want to be Buddha and Bodhisattva, if you want to read Buddha, you will have an induction with Buddha and Bodhisattva.

From then on, I really embarked on the road of learning Buddhism. If I used to watch outside the door, I just started to step into Buddhism! It used to be superstition, but now it's true faith!

Want to ask me the result of the matter? From then on, he began to hold the holy names of the Great Compassion Mantra, Heart Sutra, Amitabha and Guanyin Bodhisattva. At first, I was still paranoid, and I heard voices in my ears to bother me. After a while, those strange things disappeared without a trace.

Here, I am very grateful to my mother, who planted the diamond seed of Buddhism for me. When I was most helpless and confused, this seed germinated and saved me. Not only saved me, but also saved my classmate, and she began to read the spell of compassion devoutly. Later, I led my mother and two young aunts to convert. After what happened, no one in the class dared to invite disc fairy again. I also burned that picture of the disc fairy.

This matter has been hidden in my heart, only a few friends around me know. I'll tell you when the time is right today. I didn't lie when I said I converted. This is a real thing that happened to me. You have the right not to believe, but you shouldn't denigrate Buddhism. This is not my original intention.

Finally, one more thing, don't try to ask the gods, no matter how accurate others say, you must know that your destiny is in your own hands. Look at Fan's four commandments and three generations of karma, and you will know what you will be like in the future.

If you or your relatives and friends see a ghost or something strange that cannot be explained. Tell him not to be afraid! Read namo amitabha! This is much better than shouting and running!

Ghosts are just six beings. In previous lives, they may also be human. Now it is suffering from three evils. Whether it is your past friends, relatives, creditors or enemies, you should feel sorry for it. If we are kind, we will try our best to help it get rid of evil! Read the sutra of merits and demerits of Tibetan Bodhisattva, Amitabha Sutra, or read the sutra of South Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tibetan Bodhisattva Nanda, Amitabha Nanda ... whatever.

I'm all thumbs and I'm not good at organizing words. Thank you for spending so much time and patience reading the post! In fact, I tell this story to repay the kindness of the Buddha, to increase the confidence of the converts in the six divisions in the wheel of karma, and to tell those who have not studied Buddhism not to beat around the bush, waste time and learn by rote. Fourth, I am also giving myself a wake-up call and striving for progress! Take out the mentality of not thinking about Buddha but dying at that time, and be prepared for danger in times of peace!
