The true story of chanting Buddha and changing fate

A brief introduction to the true story of changing fate by chanting Buddha: take life seriously, strive to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and chanting Buddha changes life. I remember a master said that Buddha's name is the real wealth and life is fleeting. I hope everyone will seize every minute. The following is a true story shared by Bian Xiao, in which chanting Buddha changed fate. Welcome to learn! What I want to tell is the legendary story of a girl. She was originally a girl who lived in a single-parent family since childhood and had no family background. However, at the age of 18, she was lucky to meet someone with a special identity and method. In just five years, her life has undergone earth-shaking changes! A series of miracles, from almost failing to enter a key university in the college entrance examination, visiting teachers at Oxford University, winning high scholarships one after another, attending the climate conference in Copenhagen, and being directly sent to Peking University by an undergraduate to study for a doctorate, suddenly made her the darling of fate. Who is it, what method is it, and what power makes her change the original life track, so that she has such a beautiful and bright destiny? Let's talk about her magical experience and the story behind it. This girl is actually me. My life before 18 years old can be said to be bleak. I have lived in a broken family since I was 6 years old. My father seldom comes to see me. Compared with children of the same age, I lack a lot of joy and my personality is relatively withdrawn. Although supported by maternal love, I experienced an incomplete childhood after all. /kloc-Before the age of 0/8, I was always an introverted, self-abased and timid child. Because I have lived in a single-parent environment since I was a child, I know how hard my mother raised me, so I have been studying very hard. Although his grades are not bad, he is actually not smart. I only rely on diligence and hard work. The only difference from other children is that I seem to be born with a heartfelt love for all animals. I hope to be a zoologist when I grow up, protect wild animals all over the world, and let people learn to love animals and fear every life. I think maybe this love gave me nanmu gene instead of reed gene. The most important thing is that I met this special person later. He watered the seed, which made it take root and sprout, and gradually grew into a towering tree. After I entered the high school science class, it became more and more difficult to study because my intelligence was not dominant. Although I am a science student, my grades in math and physics are very poor, especially in math. I can hardly understand what the teacher said in class. Not only that, I can't concentrate at all, and I often get distracted involuntarily. If the exercise is a little difficult, I can't turn my head and I have to consult my classmates before I can do it. Although the math score in our class is the best in the whole grade and is taught by the best math teacher in the whole school, I am one of the worst math teachers in my class. I almost failed in the exam, and my math teacher almost lost confidence in me, which caused me to be full of fear when I saw math problems and even math teachers. In April, 2005, when I was a sophomore, my mother attended a lecture on nutritional immunology given by Dr. Chen Zhaofei of the United States in Chengdu. I met a person with the above special status, that is, the "silent master". And I was lucky to know him because of my mother's influence, and became a Buddhist disciple under his guidance. Actually speaking, when I was only 18 years old, I had no idea what faith was and the profound truth in Buddhism. I just listened to master's instruction. Unexpectedly, a miracle happened while I was doing it. Dr Chen Zhaofei, founder of nutritional immunology, chairman of Cheng Yan International Organization. Born in Chiayi, Taiwan Province Province, China, 1962, 10 years old and moved overseas with his family. She had a special experience as a "girl with mental retardation" in her childhood, but it inspired her to work harder than ordinary people. Chen Zhaofei/KLOC-graduated from Brigham Young University at the age of 0/9, and is the youngest university graduate. 2 1 year old, with a master's degree in microbiology; Yan Yan International was established at the age of 24; Graduated from Ph.D. at the age of 25, devoted to the research of cancer and immune system. Today, Cheng Yan International has developed into a well-known multinational enterprise covering more than ten countries and regions in Europe, Asia and the United States. In view of my absent-mindedness in class and poor grades, Master taught me to recite the Heart Sutra 2 1 time every morning, and often recited such holy names as Manjusri Bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Earth Treasure Bodhisattva. So I go to the classroom half an hour in advance every morning, and go to places where there are few people. Although I don't know what it means, I often daydream while reciting, but I recite it seriously. During that time, I slept badly at night. As soon as I close my eyes, I always see all kinds of strange and horrible faces in my mind, so I always have insomnia. At that time, my grandfather was seriously ill in the hospital. My master and mother said that the image that appeared in my mind was probably my grandfather's unjust creditor. Because I have Buddhist karma, I came to me with the hope of crossing over, and taught me to recite the holy name of the Tibetan king and bodhisattva 108 times every night to pay back my grandfather and my unjust creditors. After a while, these horrible pictures in my mind are much less, and I can slowly concentrate in class. Incredibly, when I was studying in the evening, I was holding the icon of Manjusri Bodhisattva in my hand, and suddenly I felt a sharp swelling pain between my eyebrows, like my head was about to crack, and there was a light to radiate from my eyebrows. This wonderful feeling lasted for about 5 minutes before it slowly disappeared. From then on, I can feel this magical power when I concentrate on Buddha and even listen to Master's enlightenment. I guess it may be an energy, which science can't prove yet, but it does exist. My personal perception of this energy has deepened my belief in Buddhism. Strangely, in the final exam, I got more than 130 in math (full mark 150), and I did well in other subjects. My ranking suddenly changed from 20 in my class to 10, and I got a scholarship of 500 yuan! This is the first income in my life, which is a lot of money for my family conditions at that time. I can't wait to share the good news with my mother. My mother was very happy and asked me, "This money is yours. How are you going to spend it? " At that time, I immediately thought of an idea. I thought that the improvement of my grades must be related to chanting the Heart Sutra and chanting the holy names of Buddha and Bodhisattva. Thanks to Master's teaching, I should use this money to support Master. So I said to my mother without hesitation, "Mom, then give all the 500 yuan to Master!" " "At that time, I didn't even think about leaving the money to buy clothes or other supplies for myself. You know, I only wear school uniforms in high school almost all year round, which is really rare for girls of 65,438+07,65,438+08. On the contrary, my mother can't bear it. She thinks that Master is a monk and doesn't need to spend a lot of money. 300 yuan is enough to feed her. Later, my mother called to tell Master the process, and Master was shocked. The first time a little girl got the money, she thought not of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but of repaying her kindness and praising the infinite merits of pure cultivation. Master told his mother, "Don't care about the amount of money, but try to protect the beautiful heart of the child. "A child's whole heart is her whole destiny. You just deduct 200 yuan, isn't that 40% of the child's fate? Children should be allowed to send all the money. " After listening to master's instructions, my mother suddenly realized that she was happy to use all the money in 500 yuan to help me support master. Later, master told me that when he received the money, he couldn't help but draw a conclusion from his heart: this child can make a difference everywhere! Looking back now, if the money for supporting Master was really discounted at that time, then my life today would certainly be discounted, and of course there would be no subsequent series of miracles. As I said before, my high school grades are not good. After reciting the Heart Sutra and Dharma Name, my grades have improved a little, but because my previous foundation was really weak, my grades in simulated exams in Grade Three were not satisfactory. The closer I get to the college entrance examination, the less confident I am about myself. My dream is to be admitted to a prestigious school, but the limitation of my ability makes my dream out of reach. I don't even know if I can get into a key university. I even thought about doing small business with my mother if I failed in the college entrance examination. It is in this kind of tension and anxiety that the college entrance examination is coming. After the results came out, I found that my score was only 25 points higher than the key line, and the dream of a famous school was completely shattered. Later, I was admitted to Beijing Forestry University majoring in wildlife and nature reserve management, only 5 points higher than the admission score. Now, I feel that the scores I got at that time and the majors I chose seem to be tailored for me: only a few forestry colleges in China offer wildlife protection majors, and only one school in Beijing offers them, and it is my first year of college entrance examination. Later facts also proved that this seemingly unpopular major I studied became the basis of later miracles. Therefore, I have always thought that entering Linda University and studying this little-known major may also be specially arranged for me by Buddha and Bodhisattva! After entering the university, I found that I like all the subjects I studied in this major, so I am also very motivated to learn. As we are the first undergraduate students, there is only one class with 30 students in the whole grade. After my freshman year, I easily got the second place in my grade and got a special scholarship of 5000 yuan for freshmen! Back in the early days, I got 500 scholarships to support Master in high school, and Master said that I would get 5000 scholarships next time. Unexpectedly, this prophecy came true! I was overjoyed and immediately reported the good news to Master. This time I told Master that I would support her with 1000 yuan, give her 1000 yuan and keep 3,000 yuan for myself. As a result, Master asked me to give away all my money without leaving a penny! I froze when I heard it, but this time it was 5000 yuan, and I really can't bear to part with it this time. Why does Master want me to give all my hard-won scholarships to others? Seeing that I didn't understand, Master told me a truth: when people make achievements, they must remember to repay them. If we compare life to a big tree, then we are the flowers and fruits on this big tree. Heaven and earth, parents, ancestors, relatives and friends, teachers and classmates, all sentient beings who have helped us achieve success are the roots of this big tree, so a person's future destiny and achievements can be predicted by observing the ingredients of his gratitude, just like observing the roots of plants to predict flowers and fruits. After listening to Master's wisdom, I was suddenly enlightened and made such a distribution of 5,000 yuan: support Master 1000 yuan, give Grandpa 1000 yuan, give Dad 1000 yuan, give Mom 1000 yuan, and use the rest/kloc-0. On June 5438+February 65438+May 2009, Master was invited by Beijing Dabeinong Group to attend the annual meeting in Xiamen. Master took us to experience it. Nearly 500 middle and high-level members of Dabei Nong Group gathered at the seaside to release their blessings. Master hosted a blessing ceremony for the release of Dabei Agricultural Group for the goal of 20 10 at Xiamen Beach, and then shared the sunrise with us. I found that when I turned the joy of winning scholarships into the joy of dedication and shared it with more people, I also got happiness and satisfaction, which is far more valuable than spending these scholarships myself. I guess I must be the most creative and meaningful person who has won scholarships in Beijing Forestry University! In my opinion, scholarships are like the grain harvested by farmers in a hard year. Most people may be full and happy when they eat these grains, but there is no guarantee that they will have food next year. I will continue to sow these grains as seeds. Give up, give up, give up, how can you get it? So on the surface, I didn't get any scholarship myself, but used the money to accumulate intangible merits, just like putting money in a universal bank, and the power of these merits finally returned to me, making my life more and more beautiful, auspicious and complete. Doesn't this confirm what Master always said: Does virtue carry everything? Master highly praised my persistence in teaching and my willingness to give up. She often tells my story in lectures, saying: This girl will definitely get a national scholarship of 8,000 yuan next time. In fact, every time I hear Master say this, my heart keeps beating drums, because the national scholarship is the highest level in the school scholarship system, and it is only awarded to the best students in all grades (usually the first grade), but I have always been the second, and I couldn't get the special scholarship for freshman in my sophomore year. Under normal circumstances, I can only get a scholarship of 1 0,000 yuan this year. So I'm worried. But who knows, a miracle actually appeared. Just when I was convinced that I could only get 1000 yuan, it happened that the average score of the first place in the freshman class did not reach the 85 points required by the school. According to the regulations, I can't get a national scholarship. In order not to waste places, the teacher in charge of scholarship evaluation in the college gave me a national scholarship for my freshman year! Later, I heard from the teacher that in the history of Linda University, there has never been a grade in which two people won a national scholarship at the same time, and it is estimated that this will not happen again in the future. It was not until the day when the heavy bronzing certificate was sent to me that I really believed that this was not a dream. Really unexpectedly won the highest honor of undergraduate course and 8000 yuan! I know very well that this can't be an accident, otherwise why didn't it happen to others? After this magical thing happened, I had a strong feeling that if I hadn't met Buddhism, or if I hadn't met such a good master, or if I hadn't followed the master's instructions, then my life should have continued like ordinary people, but when I kept accumulating blessings and accumulating goodness, my fate began to change. Master Huineng, the sixth ancestor, once said, "Everything has a blessing, and we should not neglect it. So I think these miracles can happen because the increase of my inner wisdom is reflected in a material performance. That is what Buddhists call "from newspaper to newspaper". At the end of 2008, Master gave a lecture at the headquarters of Dabeinong Group in Beijing, and I went with him. Excuse me, master, how to use this 8000 yuan? Master said he taught me how to use 5000 yuan last time, and this time let me decide for myself. Because I tasted the sweetness of the blessing of sowing, I spent all this 8000 yuan on my Futian sowing, and there was still not a penny left. Can you guess the result now? After I entered Peking University, the scholarship for the first year was as high as 33,000 yuan, so I didn't have to pay my own tuition, plus the monthly research assistance and teaching assistant salary, so I had a living allowance of more than 3,000 yuan per month. Not only does my mother no longer have to pay for my study, but I can also send my mother 1000 yuan every month. At that time, Master told her mother to put aside what she was doing and concentrate on practicing in the temple. At that time, my mother was worried that my future life was not guaranteed. Master said to her, don't worry, Buddha and Bodhisattva will help you raise your children! I think my mother must have done what Master said with a grain of salt. I didn't expect the result to be so amazing! Buddhism is incredible, amazing! My mother (legal name: Ruilian) and I participated in the Buddhist prayer meeting of thousands of people at Lingyang Temple in mashan county, Nanning. To say that I have experienced the most amazing thing, I was sent to Peking University. Studying in Peking University has always been my dream, not only because Peking University is the best university in mainland China, with first-class teachers and learning environment, but also because there is a biologist in Peking University School of Life Sciences, Professor Lv Zhi, whom I deeply admire and admire. She is a well-known expert on giant panda research, and is well-known at home and abroad for her outstanding contribution to biodiversity conservation in China. She was once rated as one of the five most noteworthy young people in China in the 2nd/Kloc-0th century by The New York Times, and won many honors, such as China Young Female Scientist Award, China Top Ten Outstanding Youth Award, and China Outstanding Contribution Award to Environmental Protection. How lucky we are to learn from such an excellent teacher! Lv Zhi, professor of conservation biology in Peking University, director of the Shanshui Nature Conservation Center, executive director of the Research Center for Nature Conservation and Social Development of Peking University, director of the International Society for Conservation Biology, member of the Standing Committee of China Association for Science and Technology, and member of the Global Agenda Council of the World Economic Forum. However, I also know that although I have the qualification for postgraduate study, it is equally difficult to set up a major from Lin Daxin, who has almost no experience in running a school, to the powerful School of Life Sciences of Peking University. What's more, the teacher can only recruit one graduate student who walks every year, and this year, plus four of me want to walk Mr. Lu, and the other three students are all from prestigious schools, which is very excellent. The competition is so fierce, but only one person can cross the wooden bridge. What should I do? Do you want to give up or continue? I know very well in my heart that it is almost impossible to guarantee success on my own. Can I use the power of Buddha and Bodhisattva to help me achieve my wish? I told Master about my wishes and difficulties, and Master very much supported me to go to Peking University for further study. Master also reminded me that we must find out the purpose of going to Peking University, not just to study for graduate students, but to think that with the help of Peking University, we can spread the truth better in the future, and we must turn the idea of benefiting ourselves into the benefit of all beings, so as to get the support and blessing of all beings. At the same time, Master taught me how to strengthen my practice, saying that reciting Tibetan scriptures and repenting more are the fastest and best ways to eliminate karma. From March to May, 2009, due to the lack of school courses, I basically insisted on reading and reciting a Tibetan sutra every day and copying a Tibetan sutra to repay my mother's kindness. During this period, my mother also gave up her fate for me and went to the temple to practice, which accumulated a lot of blessings and merits for me. When I recite Tibetan scriptures, I am often moved to tears by the great compassion of the Tibetan king and bodhisattva. I always say to myself that you are also a person with great wishes, and the Bodhisattva will surely bless you. Therefore, I often make a wish in front of the earth treasure bodhisattva and Guanyin bodhisattva. In the future, I will not only protect wild animals, but also help those livestock living in misery on the farm, and promote Buddhism and educate all living beings. The summer after my junior year, I went to the Buddhist temple in Deyang, Sichuan, where Master was located, and attended the ceremony of "sailing like a boat". During the ceremony, Master taught me to tidy up the messy shoes that people took off at the entrance of the main hall. So I do it every day. At first, when I put my shoes down in front of everyone, it was difficult for me to put myself down completely, and I always felt embarrassed. After all, everyone in the hall is surrounded by Buddha, and I am the only one who puts shoes at the door. Many people cast curious eyes at me. Many old lay people also told me to stop posing and come in to read Buddha. Anyway, you will soon get confused when you pose, and it is very important to recite Buddha. However, I think since Master said that putting shoes in order can make the Dojo more clean and solemn, what's the harm of sacrificing my time to learn Buddhism and serve the public?
