Buddha's view on fortune telling _ Buddha's view on fortune telling

Why doesn't Buddhism allow divination?

Fortune telling and divination belong to heresy. In many classics, the Buddha repeatedly warned his disciples not to learn, not to do, and not to guide others to participate. Otherwise, it is a great sin to mislead people to practice, lead them astray and destroy their bodies and wisdom!

"Dafang Guangfo Huayan Classic" Volume 35 "Ten Classics" said: "Bodhisattva lives in the right path, does not divine, does not take evil precepts, and sees its integrity, depending on Buddhism, Dharma and monks."

The Great Wisdom (volume 19) and its preface say: "What are the five evil lives? A: On the one hand, if travelers give reasons for making profits, cheating will be different. Both, for the benefit of providing for the aged, talk about merit; The three are beneficial to providing for the elderly, and the good and the bad are said by people; Fourth, in order to support the cause, it is awesome to speak loudly; Fifth, in order to support the elderly, it is said that the income will move. " ?

The meaning of the above passage is that the four sects (monks, monks, Youposai and Youpoyi) live for the sake of life, which is called "evil fate". There are five kinds:

First, fraud is heterogeneous. In front of secular people, cheating is strange, which makes them admire, while seeking profit is for bad life.

Second, the self-talk function. Arguing for words, restraining others from praising themselves, showing off their functions, making people believe and respect them, and seeking benefits and support are all bad lives.

Third, there are good and bad. It is a bad life to attack different skills, compare one's life, talk about good or bad luck, and seek benefits and support.

Fourth, show your strength loudly. It is awesome to talk loudly and cheat, and it is evil to seek benefits and support.

Fifth, tell your harvest to impress your heart. In Petrelli, what is said here is; Yu said that it is tempting to benefit from it, but it is necessary to seek benefits.

It can be seen that anyone who lives by fortune telling is evil, because everything in the world is born in a causal cycle. If you don't practice by yourself, you can't change the cause and effect by fortune telling. Besides, divination can lead to right and wrong? At the same time, divination will destroy cause and effect and create many bad karma, that is, people have no cultivation and morality!

The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra, Volume 40 1-600, Volume 5 15, Irrevocable Products, says: "Repeat, be good! All bodhisattvas who don't turn back will achieve supreme bodhi, stay away from the great bodhicitta, practice a clean life, curse evil things such as magic, medicine and divination, curse ghosts and gods for fame and fortune, make men and women ask them bad luck, forbid men and women, size, neighbors, ghosts and other things, occupy the length of life, financial position, all good and evil things of men and women, and don't remember the cold and summer. I don't respect offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods, so I say I am often a staff sergeant, not a corporal.

So what? It is the Bodhisattva Mahasa, who knows that all dharmas are empty, empty and without phase, without cause or cause, away from all kinds of evil life, spells, medicine and occupation, and only seek supreme justice and bodhi, and always forgive all sentient beings. If that's what the Bodhisattva achieved, I know I won't turn back to the Bodhisattva. "

In the above scripture, the Buddha clearly pointed out that in order to achieve supreme bodhi, we must stay away from evil karma, spells and occupations! The ultimate goal of our Buddhist disciples' practice is to prove the supreme bodhi. If you don't follow the teachings, you will do all kinds of evil things, such as spells and divination, and push yourself to the magic road!

Also, as we all know, when you become a formal Buddhist disciple, you have to attend the conversion ceremony, and you have to recite the "three conversions" at the ceremony:

"Since you converted to Buddhism, you should take Buddhism as your teacher. From today, even at the end of your life, you should not convert to the supernatural. "

"Since you converted to the law, you should take the law as your teacher. From today, even at the end of your life, you should not convert to foreign classics. " .

"Since you converted to the monk, you should take the monk as your teacher. From today until the end of your life, you should not convert to pagans. "

In fact, three conversions mean making vows and observing three basic commandments. Participating in fortune-telling and divination has violated the will to convert. If we mislead others by fortune telling and using others to make money, the consequences will be even greater. We Buddhist disciples must abide by the precepts of Buddhism, stay away from evil teachers and friends, establish right knowledge and right views, and never leave the practice and practice diligently until we achieve Buddha's fruit!
