I went to the temple to apply for a visa yesterday. I don't know what this means. Thank you.

I don't know what this means. However, Buddhism also has a very important knowledge point, that is, how to change fate. Do you want to know? Let me explain something to you.

We draw lots and tell fortune. It's just a good fate What if it's bad luck Is there any way to change it? In Buddhism, we explain the ways to change luck.

One of the ways is eight words: do all evil and pursue all good.

Let me tell you a little Buddhist story. A master, with his magical powers, found that an apprentice had only seven days to live, so he sent him home to see his parents for the last time. 10 days later, disciple came back from home. The master was surprised and asked him what happened on the road. Disciple said that there was a flood on the road and the rain trapped a nest of ants. Disciples built ants into bridges with branches and saved their lives. Then, Master understood that it was the disciple's kindness to care for life that increased his life span.

Do you understand, my friend? Heaven rewards good and punishes evil. If we hold our heads three feet high, there will be a God. If we do good deeds, God will record them. When the good fruit is ripe (which takes time), it will bring us good luck.

"It takes time" here means that the fruit of good deeds takes time to mature, and it is impossible to succeed by doing one thing well again and again. Sometimes, after doing good deeds, there will be some disasters. The reason is that bad karma has been created before, and the consequences are ripe. Past life refers to past lives.

In our world, there is a great kindness that can save and change our destiny, and it is also easy to be ignored by us, and that is filial piety. Buddha said that if there is no Buddha in the world, parents are Buddhas. It is better to be filial to your parents at home than to go to a famous temple to worship Buddha. Friend, you should understand this sentence carefully, which means that if you please Buddha and Bodhisattva, you might as well practice what Buddha and Bodhisattva taught us. Confucius said that the hardest thing to be filial to parents is "color difficulty", that is, it is difficult to be kind to parents. Think back, friend, don't you? ), so be gentle with your parents, speak softly, and don't be fierce.

More ways to accumulate happiness can be learned from Buddhist books, such as observing the five commandments (no killing, no stealing, no fornication, no lying, no drinking), such as chanting. The basic idea is to cultivate one's mind and nature, and to practice the teachings of Buddha and Bodhisattva. This is very helpful to us.

I recommend a book to you, Enlightenment written by Master Kong Jing. Buddhism explains the origin of our world, the destination and significance of life, and how we can live happily without pain, which is worth learning. This book can be bought in temples.

The destination of life mentioned in Buddhism is very important to us. We are human beings now. What about the afterlife? What will it become? Is there immortality? Besides, can you be happy in the afterlife? Or pain? Is there an eternal way to make yourself happy and make all beings feel happy? This point is discussed in detail in Buddhism)
