Charity and causality in Buddhism. I am a beggar today. Will this beggar give me a dollar in the afterlife? Is cause and effect so mechanical?

Amitabha! Brother, cause and effect are complicated, and one link is linked with another. Never treat it mechanically and separately. The general law of cause and effect is: if it is a cause, it is a result; What a good career, what a good fruit. Good results come from good reasons, just as potatoes can't grow watermelons. No matter how big the cause is, no matter how big the fruit is, it is inseparable from cause and effect. A wheat seed bears 30 fruits and 300 fruits. This is also a big cause and a big fruit. In addition, if the reason is to be a result, it is inseparable from fate! There is no chance to get the result. Therefore, we should live a good life, we will gain something when we are alive, and we will gain something in the future. Mature in the afterlife, harvest in the afterlife. The afterlife is not mature, and the afterlife is rewarding! As the Buddha said: Even if there are thousands of robberies, the karma will be reconciled.

Compassionate institutions can be regarded as a * * * industry with a certain group. There are other industries in the * * * industry, and there are also * * * industries in other industries. Who did we help by donating money to charity? These are the causes and effects between us and these people.

Giving money, giving laws and giving fearlessness are all such laws.

Cause and effect are complicated, and now every cause and effect actually contains many aspects. If you want to truly understand all the causal laws comprehensively, don't say that we ordinary people can't do it. Even the Arhat who freed himself from the Six Paths can only see the cause and effect within the 80,000 robbery. Only the Buddha is omniscient and can know all the laws of cause and effect. If we want to use this precious personal life to study the truth of cause and effect, we will never understand it, because cause and effect far exceed our limited one-sided consciousness and knowledge. It is better to follow our Buddhism, such as teaching, and wait until we really reach the realm of Buddhism, and the causal method knows all about the world. Just like the remote controls we usually use, they are all designed by professionals. We just need to use it. We don't need anything. We must study it thoroughly before using it. It is difficult to really study one thing thoroughly all one's life, let alone everything. I have thoroughly studied this. Where are thousands of Qian Qian in the world? Even if we are poor, we can't study it completely, which has nothing to do with our liberation!

From now on, follow the guidance of Buddhism and practice hard. It goes without saying that karma has come ~

The real way is to work hard at the roots. All branches and leaves come from roots. The root is broken, and everything is solved!
