Big golden retriever cock
A farmer named Zhang was diagnosed with lung cancer and died in two hospitals, leaving his family to prepare for his funeral. One of his relatives knew that I was studying Buddhism at home, so he brought his wife to my house and wanted to seek help from Buddhism. By chance, they met Master Miaofa and happened to be here, so they begged Master for mercy and help.
Old monk Miaofa asked: “The patient’s killing karma is too heavy, especially killing chickens, right?”
Zhang’s wife replied: “Yes, my husband likes frying and frying. He is the chef for all weddings and funerals in the village. He thinks other people are killing chickens for a fee, and his knife skills are not good, so he does it all himself. Every time he does something, he doesn’t even know how to do it. We had to kill dozens of them, and their blood stained the ditch beside the road red.”
The old monk Miaofa asked again: “Have you ever killed a big rooster in someone else’s house? The feathers on the neck of this chicken are golden, the fur on the body is brown, and the feathers on the tail are dark green and sparkling. . It is more than half a meter tall with its head held high, very majestic and beautiful.”
Zhang’s wife was shocked when she heard this. She knelt down with a plop and kowtowed: “Oh, old Bodhisattva! How did we know that killing chickens is a sin? We spent the famine years without eating or drinking, and were hungry every day. The neighbor’s big rooster They flew to our house. I saw that there was no one in their house, so I secretly killed them and ate them. The old Bodhisattva had eyes and saw everything. This is called evil being rewarded! I will never dare to take advantage of others again. Spend the famine years We also stole the team’s feed, ate it as food, and stole crops from the fields. I am now convinced that I encouraged the old man to do it. Shorten my life span! Let me die for him. !
She cried while reading, and she was so moved that I almost shed tears. I didn’t expect that this woman had such a high level of understanding. She was so clear-cut. Her simple language and sincere relationship between husband and wife were really rare. I hurriedly helped her up and asked her to listen to the teachings of the old monk Miaofa.
The master was also a little excited, and his voice was trembling: “What you cried just now is your true repentance. You must make your husband repent well when you go back. He will never kill again in the future. Go to the temple and ask for a copy of the Ksitigarbha Sutra for you. Recite the chicken killed by your husband forty-nine times and dedicate it to them. It is best for your husband to recite the Ksitigarbha Sutra himself. As for the chicken that was killed secretly, it is the king of chickens. Did you kill that chicken? After having a chicken, your husband started to suffer from headaches?”
Zhang’s wife thought for a while and said with certainty: “Yes, yes. It’s true that from that time on, he started to have headaches, good for two days and bad for two days. No matter what medicine he took, it didn’t make any difference.”
“That rooster is always standing on your husband’s head. Its claws scratch his scalp from time to time, and sometimes it bites your husband’s forehead with its mouth. Doesn’t it hurt? Let’s set up a memorial tablet for this rooster in the temple. You guys Also recite the Ksitigarbha Sutra seven times for it, and if the monks help you to achieve salvation, it may be reborn in the sky and become a phoenix.”
“Master, we don’t know much about literacy and can’t read it, what should we do?”
“Reciting sutras will save your husband’s life, and it will also be of great benefit to you. If you don’t know the words, you can look them up in a dictionary or ask someone to ask them. If you really don’t know how to recite sutras, you can pay someone to recite them, but it’s not as good as reciting them yourself. The merits are all your own. Pay attention to that during the salvation period, you should cut off all meat, all meat, onions, garlic, leeks, alcohol and cigarettes. It is best to give up all. Because if you chant sutras with a smelly mouth, there will be no heaven, humans, ghosts and gods. Waiting for the crowd to listen, all sentient beings cannot benefit, and it is disrespectful to the Buddha’s teachings. What other merits do you have? If the chicken is saved and does not go away, your husband’s illness will not be cured. If you can keep the precepts, the Buddha and Bodhisattva will definitely bless you. “
Zhang’s wife asked again: “My husband is now critically ill and may die at any time. Is it too late to recite sutras?”
The old monk Miaofa replied: “If your husband had not killed so many chickens, his lifespan would not have been exhausted. Killing animals would shorten his lifespan. Because of your heartfelt repentance just now, things have turned around. Sincere repentance can eliminate sins. If your husband also If you can sincerely repent and chant sutras and recite Buddha’s name, you will definitely turn the crisis into safety, so hurry up.”
After Zhang’s wife returned to the hospital, she found her husband miraculously sitting on the bed. After asking, I found out that he had spit out two and a half buckets of white phlegm at once, and his chest was no longer so tight. This was the first time he had spit on his own since he became seriously ill! Zhang’s wife was very excited and secretly told her husband about her chance meeting with Monk Miao Pharaoh. The husband was also surprised and happy. They decided to be discharged from the hospital and go home the next day. They told the hospital, “You have no cure anyway!”
Not long after, this lung cancer patient who was about to die miraculously appeared at the door of his house and repaired a bicycle, attracting many people in the village to watch and inquire. Later, when it rained and the house leaked, he climbed into the house again to fix the leak, which surprised the villagers.
