What the hell is possession?

Master Zhao Da made a brief analysis of its "occupation", "occupation reason" and "how to solve it" as follows: 1. Possession is more complicated, and we can divide it into the following categories: 1. Ghost possession: it is all kinds of strange possession of people, animals and ghosts. Essence: animal essence such as fox, snake essence and weasel essence. After cultivation, it has certain magical power and may attach to people's bodies under special opportunities. Soul: For example, the karma relationship between soul and other sentient beings in the past life leads to attachment to others, but only to speak one's own words, which is caused by karma rather than supernatural powers. Ghosts: Ghosts, such as powerful ghosts and zombie ghosts, are born with evil thoughts such as jealousy and greed, and can be possessed by their ghost power. Charm: An old ghost who is attached to mountains and rivers and plants and achieves supernatural power is also a supernatural existence. He often plays tricks on others and likes to have fun for himself. When such a spirit is possessed by a ghost, there is usually an ominous sign. Even if it does not exist for the time being, the result is often disaster and disease. In fact, these four kinds can also be attributed to ghosts and sentient beings, and the situation is very complicated, so I won't elaborate on them one by one. The performance of this obsession is that the body and mind are controlled, not free at all, nervous, not close to normal pedestrians, and accompanied by strange smells. Sometimes there will be strange situations with magical power, and sometimes there will be troubles and pains, moodiness, confusion and vague memory. I am often bound by fear and panic. It's really sad. Second, the possession of gods: some kind gods of heaven and earth are attached to people. Gods: For example, the Jade Emperor, a folk god in China, descended to earth, and the heavenly queen, etc. This is a fairy attached to people. Only: For example, Qi Tian, Chen, Mazu, etc. , are folk gods, are attached to the human body of the secular god. Generally speaking, this kind of possession will not harm people. Usually it is to persuade people to pay attention to self-cultivation, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and so on. The manifestation of this kind of possession is that you don't take the initiative to think about the god of possession. Just like ordinary people, you can basically live and work normally, but when you are possessed, you are like drunk, tired and sleepy, and you are willing to talk about all kinds of good and evil at will, encouraging all beings in the world to respect goodness, but it is also clear from right and wrong and has a strong sense of revenge. For ordinary people, there are usually not too many negative effects. But for practitioners, it is the biggest obstacle. Third, the possession of monty: this is the possession of fire in Buddhist scriptures, and the heresy of monty is attached to the practitioner according to its magical power. For example, Papman, the demon king of the Six Desires, his magic soldiers, magic generals, magic sons and magic grandchildren often come to disturb people who are really practicing and are about to achieve something. This is a terrible enemy of monasticism, but we must defeat it one by one, one by one, in order to get rid of it completely. The performance of this kind of possession is that, as the Shurangama Sutra says, it is frivolous and arrogant, but it also makes people feel that he is superior. On the surface, he seems to be an overhauled pedestrian, or just like a saint. In fact, nothing in his heart can break the insistence of "five yin". I am extremely determined to play the game of life and death, pushing all beings into the sea of life and death, which is extremely sinful and the most dangerous! 2, the reasons for the possession of the above three types of possession, the reasons are also diverse, there are also the same reasons and different reasons, their different reasons are: the first type of possession, mostly because of "debt resentment", debt is the debt relationship between previous lives and those ghosts, but this life is not blessed enough, yin is too heavy, yang is insufficient, so ghosts will have the opportunity to invade and interfere. The gift is to make the person possessed by him smart, different from ordinary people, not to go to the prophet and so on. , so as to obtain relevant material benefits; This is something that has been done to them in the past, which is generally not easy to find and has no obvious negative effects. Complaining is to make the person possessed by him sick, trance, crazy, physically and mentally devastated, as mentioned above, suffering from all kinds of pain and suffering, which is difficult to save. The second reason for possession is generally kindness and honesty, but it lacks masculinity, or there are other special reasons that can replace the gods to guide the world. But if it is not a real god, but a ghost pretending to be a god, that is another matter. The third reason for possession is that there is something wrong with the practice of initiation and insight. The so-called "improper membership leads to twists and turns." The insight is not pure, and the possession is divided. "This is because they are unfamiliar with the teachings of Buddhism, lack of listening and thinking, rush about on the road of practice, blindly practice and practice, are competitive, can't let go of their five desires, covet fame and fortune, rejoice in illusions, like discussing the mysteries of magical powers, don't keep clean commandments, and are slow to respect others, which are easy to provoke monty to test themselves and even have chaos. For practitioners, this is the most important point. 3. How to solve the above three kinds of meditation situations all belong to the karma on the road of practice. Different personal karma has different solutions and effects. If it has been established, or it has been for a long time, it will be difficult to treat. If it is still the initial possession, or it is not established, it can be handled relatively. Common countermeasures: correct your own mind, accept three times and five precepts, and even accept various Buddhist precepts and dignity; Read and recite Mahayana classics wholeheartedly, or think about the meaning of classic words; Don't covet the five desires in the world, and get rid of arrogance, competitiveness and inferiority. Living in a moral place, blessed by many practitioners, close to good knowledge, good friends and even people with weeds. This can make your mind more open and aboveboard, and ghosts can't get close, so that it can be solved. Their respective solutions: in the first case, don't live in a dark and humid place, but find a bright and well-informed place to live, recuperate your body, enrich your spirit, relax and be happy, or get together and settle down. Reading Tibetan scriptures and Beijing scriptures, repenting, chanting Buddha and holding spells are all effective methods for treatment. You can also urge monks and great virtues or repair pedestrians with magical powers to help solve such problems. In the second case, you can change your mind and specialize in pure business, or get close to good knowledge and listen to Buddhism. In the third case, you need to read the Shurangama Sutra to learn more about Sadas' state, or get close to virtuous people, which can be easily solved.
