What is an example of a causation?
All dharmas are causally related. The causal relationship in Buddhism is real and true.
The causal relationship in Buddhism is a natural law. According to the teachings of Buddhism, good deeds will have good results, and bad deeds will have bad results. Although this causal relationship may not be obvious in the short term, it will inevitably show up in the long run.
In ancient times, there was a beggar who had nothing and was starving and cold. However, he was kind-hearted and friendly to people.
One day, a practicing bodhisattva passed by and saw the beggar’s kindness. The bodhisattva decided to help the beggar by testing him, so he transformed himself into a rich businessman and gave the beggar a precious gem.
The beggar accepted the gem, but he did not have greed in his heart. Instead, he decided to sell it and use the money to help other people in need.
He found a nobleman, sold the gem, and got a huge fortune. Then, without hesitation, he used the money to build a temple and a bridge to facilitate people coming and going.
Many years passed, and the beggar died. He received the blessing of happiness. In the next life, he was reborn as a rich businessman and spent his entire life happily. This is because of his good deeds and help to others, good causes and good results.
This example is that good deeds will bring good results, while bad deeds will bring bad results.
Buddhism encourages us to do good deeds to accumulate good causes and good results, bringing happiness and blessings to ourselves and others.
Whether in words or actions, we should treat others with kindness and compassion and follow the teachings of Buddhism.
