People’s destiny can be changed, and people can completely change their destiny and control their own future through the correct methods.
Mr. Yuan Liaofan, a Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty, wrote his personal practical experience into the “Four Lessons from Liaofan”, which inspired countless future generations to use the correct Buddhist methods to change their destiny and seek happiness for themselves, thus effectively proving that cause and effect are true. A self-reliant point of view.
The true story told below once again proves that destiny can be changed.
Feng Liqian is a top student who graduated from a prestigious university. When he was studying, he liked to study the I Ching and Bagua. He often used the knowledge he learned from the I Ching to predict his future studies. Because every application was very effective, he believed A person’s life destiny is doomed.
Once, Xiao Feng went to see a famous I-Ching master at that time and figured out many matters about his future. Among them, the master calculated that Xiao Feng’s future marriage would break up due to the other party’s reasons after fifteen years. Xiao Feng had been feeling uneasy about this and hoped to find a way to resolve it.
Sure enough, everything was as the master had predicted. Xiao Feng successfully passed the postgraduate examination. After completing his studies and working, he was promoted several times and finally went to start a company overseas and achieved great success. In the third year after working, he married a beautiful and virtuous wife. The happiness of his family and the success of his career made him gradually forget the prophecy that once worried him.
In the blink of an eye, it was the second half of the fourteenth year after marriage. One day, Xiao Feng’s beloved wife suddenly felt a hard lump as big as an egg on the lower side of her right breast. The swelling and pain were unbearable. After going to the hospital for examination, she was diagnosed with advanced stage breast cancer. Breast cancer, doctors told her that she could only live for one year at most. In the face of the disease, the whole family fell into infinite grief. At this time, Xiao Feng recalled the previous prophecy and lamented that all this was fate.
Just when he was almost in despair, Xiao Feng accidentally got a copy of “Modern Cause and Effect Record” written by Guoqing layman. The real and vivid cause and effect stories in the book made him deeply educated, and he gradually understood that only by believing deeply in cause and effect can he succeed. Only by changing evil into good and practicing Buddhism can we change our destiny. Xiao Feng and his wife rekindled their hope of survival, and with the help of their friends, they met Lay Buddhist Guo Qing.
Looking at the pale Mrs. Feng, layman Guo Qing tactfully pointed out to her all the evil causes she had done in the past, and asked her to start a vegetarian diet, sincerely repent of her bad karma, and recite the Ksitigarbha Sutra in accordance with the law to dedicate it to all those she had suffered. Living beings that have been harmed. After hearing this, Xiao Feng’s wife began to practice cultivation when she returned home. Her strong desire to survive prevented her from having any luck or delusion. She insisted on kneeling down to recite the Ksitigarbha Sutra every day, praying, and doing many good deeds such as releasing animals and printing sutras. . Half a year later, Mrs. Feng’s terminal illness miraculously improved.
Now, Xiao Feng and his wife have entered their 16th year of marriage together. Their family, which might have been broken, has been transformed by practicing Buddhism and has become a happy Buddhist family.
After personal practice, Xiao Feng and his wife have long believed that their destiny is in their own hands. If everyone can firmly believe in cause and effect, refrain from doing evil, practice good deeds, follow the Buddha’s teachings, observe precepts, eat vegetarian food, and practice cultivation in a reasonable and dharma-like manner, not only can he change his destiny in this life, but he can also escape from life and death and escape from suffering. Happiness opens up great wisdom and brings great freedom.
Tip: Buddhism is like sunshine, and the sins of killing, stealing, adultery, and delusion committed by people every day are like the thickening ice in an icehouse, and they will be trapped in hell forever in the severe cold. Those who are destined to hear, believe and accept the Buddha’s Dharma, correct their mistakes immediately after knowing it, and act upon knowing it, are like taking out solid ice and placing it under the sun. Soon it will melt and turn into water, and water can benefit all things without competing with others. It can not only make all living beings It can maintain life and help all sentient beings to become pure. This is the foundation of a Taoist cultivator.
