Doing good deeds makes your child smarter and less sick

多做好事 孩子聪明不长病

 One of the author's students, who lives in Tainan, came to visit me once. She said that after reading the author's book "Cause and Effect", she believed very much in the phenomenon of cause and effect, so she gave alms whenever she could, such as sending money to institutions like nurseries or homes for the disabled, and it turned out that there were many "miracles".

   The first thing I noticed was that my children seemed to be getting better and better behaved, smarter and more intelligent, and they were always learning quickly whatever they were taught these days. In the past, the children used to catch colds and get unwell and had to go to the doctor at every turn, but recently they seem to have improved a lot, which has saved her a lot of trouble, so she feels very relieved.

   In addition, she said that her brother-in-law had recently had a very troubling accident which had caused his family a great deal of distress because he was currently working as a police officer. The family did not thank him, but instead suspected him of being the perpetrator of the car accident. He even asked a provincial public representative to tell him that he would have to pay a huge sum of money to settle the case, otherwise he would have to pay for it and he would be left with no way out. The police officer was in a difficult position, as he was falsely accused of being the culprit instead of being rewarded for his kindness in helping others. However, there was nothing else to do but to swear repeatedly and to defend themselves, and the whole family was in a state of distress and distress.

  At a time when she was at her wits' end, the author's student was struck by the idea that giving alms might bring good fortune and relief.

   The next day, she went to the post office and secretly gave a charity (remittance to help the poor) for her brother-in-law, and silently prayed that he would be cleared of his injustice soon.

   Within a few days, the drunken man, who had been unconscious, miraculously came to his senses and publicly identified the police officer, who had been falsely accused of saving his life, as his benefactor.

   The matter was cleared up, so a not insignificant storm and dispute dissipated, when the other party's attitude changed 180 degrees and not only ceased to be misunderstood, but also expressed sincere gratitude and apologies. The student also said that once her father-in-law went to a hospital because he was very ill and the doctor said there was nothing he could do.

   She said that all these experiences were true, and she could not explain how such a miracle could have been achieved as a result of her good deeds.

笔者有一位家住台南的学生有一次来拜访笔者，她说看了笔者所著《因果》一书之后非常相信因果的现象，因此一有机会就作布施的工作，例如汇款至育幼院或残障收容所之类的机构，后来竟然出现了不少的“奇迹”。

   首先第一个感觉到的便是自己的几个孩子似乎变得愈来愈乖巧，愈聪明和伶俐，最近不管教他们什么，总是很快便学会。还有过去这些孩子经常感冒，身体不舒服，动辄便要找医生，可是近来似乎改善了很多，使她省却了不少的麻烦，因此使她觉得非常欣慰。

   此外，她说她的小叔最近发生一件非常麻烦的意外，使其家人困扰万分，原因是她的小叔目前担任警察的工作，有一次在晚上驾车的时候看到一个酗酒的醉汉在路上摇摇晃晃，他立刻前往加以注意关照，没想到这一男子这时竟出其不意地颓然倒在地上，他基于职责便用车子将他送到医院医治，并通知其家属前来照料，没想到这时其家属不仅不对他表示感谢，反而怀疑他是驾车伤人的肇事者，由于在他救助的现场没有第三者可以替他作证，这位倒地受伤的酒徒也因为在医院中一直昏迷不醒而无法说话，因此尽管他小叔一再说明解释，然而对方全然无动于衷，而且认为这个警察作贼心虚，企图狡辩以便推却刑责，后来甚至还商请一位省级的民意代表出面向其表示，要付出一笔巨大的费用才愿意和解，否则一定要他吃不完兜着走，让他“没头路”。因此这位警察感到百般为难，好心救助别人非但没有好报，反而被人诬赖是祸首，其心情上之恶劣与士气之低落实在可想而知。然而，除了一再发誓和不断辩白之外也别无良策，全家也为此弄得焦头烂额、苦恼不堪。

  正在这种无计可施、不知所措的时候，笔者这位学生忽然灵机一动，想起布施行善可能使人逢凶化吉、解脱困境，因此就决定加以一试。

   她在次日便至邮局暗中替其小叔作一次布施（汇款救助贫困），并默默祈求其小叔能够早日洗清冤情。

   没想到事后不到几天，这位一直昏迷不起的醉汉竟然奇迹似地清醒过来，而且公开指认这位一再被人诬赖的警察乃是他的救命恩人。

   由于事情获得澄清，因此一场不算少的风暴和纠纷也就因此烟消云散，这时对方的态度也改变了一百八十度，不仅不再误会，而且还表示了衷心的感激和歉疚。除此之外，这位学生还表示，有一次她的公公由于生病到一家医院就医，情况非常严重，医生后来也表示无能为力，这时她便基于一片孝心暗中替其行善，布施几次之后便忽然有人向其建议至他处就医，没想到转至另一家医院之后，病情便大有起色，健康也逐渐好转，不久之后也获得痊愈。

   她说上述的种种经验都是千真万确的事实，行善的结果为什么能够产生如此的奇迹，她实在无法加以解释。

　　2. Do not abet others to kill.

　　4. Abstain from eating meat.

　　5. Do not engage in trades related to killing.

　　6、Whenever there is worship, regardless of what is being worshipped, use vegetarian dishes, flowers and fruit, not animal gifts.

　　7. If you see someone killing a human being, you should discourage them or buy the animal to be slaughtered with money and release it.
