Do more good deeds to escape car accidents

多做善事逃车祸    

  Professor Yunhe: One of the author's summer students, who lives in the north, once told me that she had come to believe in the phenomenon of karma because of her brother's amazing experiences. She said that her parents were usually devout worshippers of Buddha and often gave alms or donated to bridge-building activities in her brother's name.

     She said that one day the jeep her brother was travelling in suddenly lost its brakes and tumbled down a valley with the vehicle, but fortunately it was stopped midway by a bamboo forest on a hillside, so no one was hurt. Some farmers came up to them a short time later and said, "You are a good family", because yesterday he wanted to cut down all the bamboo and sell it, but he was delayed until today. The danger would have been even more serious and the consequences even more unimaginable.

      The second time was when her brother was travelling in a military truck and he was also involved in an accident, the whole vehicle tumbled under a bridge and all the people on board, except his brother, were unharmed and suffered minor and serious injuries. Why was her brother the only one who was lucky enough to escape a disaster? There was much debate and no common sense explanation.

     Another unbelievable incident was that her brother's hand was suddenly dislocated during a training exercise and his condition was so serious that he was almost in a coma. The men in the team rushed to carry him down the hill for medical attention, and as no one had any money at the time, they were worried halfway down the hill about what they would tell the doctor and what they would do if they needed a deposit. When they were in great distress and confusion, a stranger asked them why they had rushed down the mountain and what had happened. Thanks to this kind-hearted person, her brother was able to receive medical treatment, thank goodness. As this kind of incident has happened time and again, her parents have often advised them to accumulate some good deeds and to give more when they have the opportunity to do so, so that they can be safe in the future. Now I think this is not nonsense.

云鹤教授： 笔者有一位家住北部的暑期部学生，有一次告诉笔者，由于她哥哥奇妙的遭遇使她不得不逐渐相信所谓因果的现象。她说她的父母亲平时很虔诚拜佛，并且常常以其哥哥的名义从事布施或捐助造桥铺路之活动，几年前她哥哥当兵服役，回来时常常谈一些令其家人十分担心，但每一次结果都是有惊无险的遭遇。

     她说有一天她哥哥所搭乘的吉普车忽然刹车失灵，结果连人带车翻落山谷，幸亏被山坡的竹林中途挡住，因此大家都没有受什么伤。不久之后一些农夫走来向他们说，你们真是“好家在”，本来昨天他想把这一片竹子全部砍掉出售，后来因为有事耽搁，才延至今天动手，如果昨天顺利砍掉，车子一旦翻落山坡，不仅没有竹子阻挡，而且每一支砍过的竹头都非常尖锐，所造成的危险必定更为严重，后果也更不堪设想，说起来你们实在非常侥幸。

      第二次是她哥哥有一次搭乘军用大卡车，结果也发生车祸，整个车子翻落在一个大桥的下面，所有车上的人员除了他的哥哥一个人安然无恙之外，全部都受到大小不同的轻重伤。为什么唯独她的哥哥能够特别幸运，顺利的逃过一个劫难呢？许多人都议论纷纷，无法用常理加以解释。

     还有一个也是令人无法置信的遭遇便是，有一次她哥哥在接受训练时，手骨忽然脱臼，情况很严重，几乎隔于昏迷的状态。同队的弟兄便连忙抬着他下山就医，由于当时大家都没有什么钱，因此在半路上大家都很担心不知道将如何向医生交待，如果需要保证金，他们也将不知如何是好。正在感到十分困扰和疑惑的时候，没想到竟有一个陌生的过路人开口问他们何以匆促下山，发生何事，大家向他说明原委之后，这位完全不相识的陌生人竟然自动拿出钱来给他们做为医药费。由于这位善心人士的帮忙，她的哥哥乃能顺利地获得医疗，说起来真要谢天谢地。由于这种有惊无险的事情屡次的发生，因此她的父母就经常劝告她们平常一定要积些阴德，有机会一定要多多布施和奉献，将来一旦有事才能保平安。现在觉得这种说法实在不是无稽之谈。

What are the acts of abstaining from killing and releasing

 戒杀与放生的行为包括哪些

 1. Do not kill a living being with your own hands.

　　2. Do not abet others to kill.

　　3. Do not help 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. If this does not work, or if the person does not sell the animal, then you should have compassion for the slaughtered animal, and even better if you can recite the Buddha's name or mantra for it.

　　8. Do not abuse the animal.

　　9、Other actions that are contrary to killing.

　　10. Abstain from killing and releasing animals yourself, and advise others to do the same. 

   1、不亲手杀生。

　　2、不教唆别人杀生。

　　3、不帮助别人杀生。

　　4、戒除肉食。

　　5、不从事与杀生有关的行业。

　　6、凡有祭拜，不管拜的是什么，一律用素菜、鲜花、水果，不用牲礼。

　　7、见人杀生，应加劝阻，或用钱将临宰之动物买而放之。若劝阻无效，或他不卖，则应对被杀之动物起同情心，若能为它念佛号或往生咒更好。

　　8、不虐待动物。

　　9、其他与杀生行为相反之行为。

　　10、自己戒杀放生，也劝别人戒杀放生。
