Master Xing Yun's Method of Changing Fate

Habits, superstitions, feelings, power, desires and karma can control our destiny, but they are not fixed. Because all habits and even karma are caused by ourselves, as long as we are mindful and cautious, we can still turn our good fate into a better one. So how did fate change? Is there any way to change fate?

1, ideas can change fate

After becoming a monk, the Buddha revealed to us the truth that the world is full of pain, and further told us the way to relieve the pain-cultivating the eight right paths. The most important thing in the eight right paths is to establish a correct view, and the other seven right paths have a criterion basis so as not to make mistakes. The so-called correct view is the correct opinion and the correct concept. The establishment of correct concepts has a very important relationship with our personal cultivation, the prosperity and progress of society and the peace and happiness of the world. For example, although Hitler had superhuman intelligence, he lacked correct knowledge. In order to conquer the world, he built many concentration camps and took pleasure in abusing innocent prisoners of war. His personal evil understanding of Jaken not only changed the history of Europe and brought terrible catastrophe, but also affected the fate of Germany, which is still divided into two countries, East and West, and cannot be unified. Therefore, Buddhism believes that a person's behavior is flawed and there is still a chance to recover; However, if the concept is deviant, the disaster that harms mankind will be even greater and the way to save it will be more difficult.

Although some successful entrepreneurial cases in the world have various factors, the correct concept is the main key. For example, some people are lazy and their elders scold them for being lazy. This person not only does not repent, but also intensifies: "Laziness is laziness. If you say that I am not good, I will be even worse and let you down completely. " Self-destruction, willing to live in filth. In addition, there is another kind of person, who is accused, immediately reflects on himself, is afraid of getting rid of evil spirits, and is eager to make a strong effort, hoping to have new performances to change others' original impression of him. Because of their different concepts, the results are quite different. Besides, some people have a positive, enterprising and optimistic attitude towards everything. When they encounter any unfortunate blow, they can find a way to struggle from difficulties and experience the happiness of life from sadness. Some people are negative, decadent and pessimistic, their lives are full of gray, and they live in sadness every day. For him, life is superfluous. It can be seen that ideas will affect our attitude towards life and change our destiny. The idea of giving alms will make our fate richer, while the idea of greed will only make us poorer. Treat everything in the world with love, life is happy, the world is beautiful, and the wife is pure land; If the world is full of hatred, the cool Buddhist country will also become a fire house. What kind of fate we hope to have, we must cultivate correct concepts.

2. Faith can change fate.

With faith, it is like sailing with a goal, a direction for a journey, and a rule for doing things. You can go straight ahead, get to your destination quickly and reduce unnecessary groping. The power of faith, like a motor, is the source of our progress and can change our destiny.

The power of faith is self-evident, and the object of faith is not limited to religion. Just like an artist's love for art, he takes the completion of art as his belief, so he is willing to devote himself to artistic creation. When it comes to cultural history, many thinkers and philosophers are struggling to realize the common ideal of mankind-for example, a hundred schools of thought contend in the pre-Qin period, such as Mr. Solzhenitsyn, a Nobel Prize in Literature laureate who recently came to Russia; Another example is Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty. He believed in "serving the country faithfully" all his life, and finally sought benevolence and gave his life. His belief in "loyalty" to the country changed his destiny, and also established a firm and awe-inspiring image for the history of China, which still touches people's hearts and becomes a hero worshipped by the whole people.

Among all kinds of beliefs, religion gives people the greatest strength, and once you have faith in religion, you are not only not bitter, but also willing to accept all deviance and persecution in your life. Devotion to religion gives us greater courage to face a fatal blow, gives us magnanimity to tolerate the injustice of the world and expands a completely different destiny.

3. Fate can change fate.

As a member of society, we can't leave society. The fate of our lives is closely related to the public. For example, our daily necessities need to rely on the division of labor and cooperation from all walks of life to make daily necessities intact. When you go to school to seek knowledge, you can avoid ignorance because of the teacher's indoctrination. Even if you enter the society and serve Xiangzi in the future, you need to rely on the help of your colleagues and your boss to give full play to your talents and make a difference. Therefore, if we want everything to be smooth and prosperous, we must maintain a harmonious relationship with others. The so-called' karma' in Buddhism is to establish good interpersonal relationships.

The scripture says: before you learn Buddhism, you must win the hearts of the people. We should make friends with others and give them convenience. The more friends we make, the more convenient it is for us to repay ourselves. Helping others is helping yourself. Although we constantly give and help others, in fact, we help ourselves, because the self is not treated, but integrated. Only by completing others can we complete ourselves. Therefore, Bodhisattva takes all beings as the Dojo of practice, and gives extensive compassion to achieve Buddhism and Taoism from the relationship with all beings. Affinity can not only change our destiny, but also be an important gateway to Buddhism. In daily life, a kind smile, an encouraging compliment, relaxed service and sincere sympathy can bring great happiness to each other and enhance the harmonious relationship between the two sides. Affinity makes our life broader and smoother, so why not?

4. Keeping precepts can change fate.

Ideas, beliefs and marriages can change our destiny, and keeping precepts can also change our destiny. If you don't kill, you can turn short life into long life; Being wary of not stealing can turn a poor life into wealth; Keeping the precepts of not evil can keep the happiness of the family; Without swearing, you can gain the trust and praise of others; By giving up drinking, you can always stay healthy and rational. Keeping precepts can turn a rough experience into a happy and healthy destiny.

The classic records a story about how a nurse changed her life: a businessman went to the market to sell goods and saw a small turtle that was arrested. He saw tears in his eyes and suddenly gave birth to a secret heart, so he bought the turtle with a lot of money and put it back in the pond to escape. After a while, one day a businessman went out to do business and passed a mountain road. Unfortunately, he was troubled by thieves, took his money and pushed him into the lake. He suddenly felt something pressing him under his feet. With this force, the businessman finally landed safely. Looking intently, it turned out that it was the little turtle who saved its life that year, and brought his companion to repay the favor. It goes without saying that the growth of people's blessings is long-term.

Everyone has a destiny, and destiny is controlled by various forces. How can we get rid of the control of fate and start our own life? We need to cultivate correct concepts, establish firm beliefs, establish good relationships and strictly observe the discipline of purity. Being able to do this is not only not controlled by fate, but also free to adjust fate.
