Everything is fate. Is it really meant to be?

To be honest, everyone's destiny really develops according to their own laws, which is by no means accidental, nor can it be easily reversed by human resources. But can't fate change? The answer is no, the so-called Buddha is far from Lingshan, and Lingshan is only in your heart. Everyone has a Ling Mountain Tower, learn from Ling Mountain Tower. How to change your destiny? First of all, we must understand how the quality of "fate" is produced, and more importantly, we must understand who is the master of fate. There are four most principled verses in the Buddhist Karma Sutra: "If you want to know the karma in previous lives, the recipient in this life is. To know the afterlife, the author of this life is. " It means that a person can know the "cause" planted in previous lives by looking at his "result" now (in this life); Look at the "cause" planted now, and you will know the "result" in the afterlife. This is the so-called causal cycle law. If you don't believe in causality, you can't change your life. Who is the real master of fate? Does God predestine the fate of mankind to be rich and poor? In fact, in the law of "causal cycle", we have been clearly told that all this is doomed by ourselves! The master of fate is not who he is. No one can impose it on you, everything is self-made! Your destiny in this life is exactly what you did in your last life, and it is your destiny. There was a "master" who improved his destiny in the Ming Dynasty. His family name is Yuan. By doing good deeds for a long time, he changed his fate of being short-lived, childless and successful. Become a saint respected by future generations to "improve" fate.

Yuan Lefan was born in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty and lived in Wujiang, south of the Yangtze River. When I was a child, my family was poor and I studied medicine to eat. Once I went to Ciyun Temple, I met a bearded old man named Kong, who was extraordinary in appearance and hale in spirit, and was good at fortune-telling of "the number of emperors". So Mr. Yuan asked him to go home and let him use the eight characters at home to calculate. It really works. Also let him use his own eight characters to verify his life in detail.

The Kong warlock is absolutely unambiguous. It is decided that Mr. Yuan will be ranked 14 for boys in the county next year, 7 1 for the government, and 9 for promotion. It was also decided that he was admitted to Gong Shi in a certain year, and that Mr. Yuan could only be a junior officer for three years. He will die to the age of 53, and finally go to bed on August 14, with no interest in children.

In the second year, all three exams calculated by the Kong warlock were fulfilled.

Twenty years later, all kinds of good and bad luck calculated by Kong warlock came true completely.

Therefore, Mr. Yuan is convinced that the ups and downs of life are all fate, and we can't force them at all. From then on, I don't have any delusions, and everything is resigned to fate.

Later, when I went to Qixia Mountain in Nanjing on business, I met a monk, Master Yungu, who explained to Mr. Yuan the retribution of "causal cycle of good and evil" and explained in detail the truth that "I make my life, I seek my happiness", encouraging Mr. Yuan not to be an ordinary man who is "at the mercy of fate".

Under the guidance of Zen master Yungu, Mr. Yuan realized a lot and made up his mind to create his own new destiny. So he knelt before the Buddha first, exposed his past sins to the fullest, and sincerely repented one by one. Then I vowed to do 3 thousand good deeds in advance. I asked for an exam, and all the good and evil I said and did every day were registered.

In less than two years, although three thousand good deeds are not full, they have won the prize, and the fate calculated by the Kong warlock has not been verified. However, because Mr. Yuan is not rigorous and self-sufficient, his good deeds are sometimes offset. So, it took ten years to complete 3,000 good deeds, and Mr. Yuan was promoted from a juren to a scholar and was appointed as the magistrate of Baodi County in Zhili. He has deeply realized the benefits of diligence and good deeds, so he vowed to do 3 thousand good deeds in order to have children. Sure enough, I gave birth to a son in less than half a year. His wife, Mrs. Yuan, is also very virtuous. She tries her best to help her husband do good deeds, or help the poor and the sick, or buy things to set them free. Mr. Yuan recites the scriptures and worships the Buddha every day, doing good deeds extensively, and then continuing to do good deeds to achieve perfection. Don't beg for longevity, live to 74 years old. His son Yuan Tianqi, also a scholar, was awarded the position of magistrate of Gaoyao County, Guangdong Province.

This is a great achievement of Mr. Yuan Lefan's courage in self-reflection and long-term diligence in doing good deeds, which completely changed the original "doomed" fate and gave the greatest inspiration to the people who studied fatalism in later generations. It also shows that doing good deeds can create your own new destiny. (See Fan Sixun for details)
