Dharma Master Huishen testified that karma is true

 慧深法师证言 

因果报应真是不虚

Dharma Master Hui Shen, the host of Taiwan's China Broadcasting Corporation's "Merciful Light" program, is very accomplished in Buddhist scriptures, can speak in simple terms when preaching, and often uses actual experience or real stories as metaphors. Therefore, he is very popular with the general audience. Recently, the author was fortunate to know this Dharma Master and ask him for advice and exchange views, and deeply benefited from it. In terms of causal phenomena, The mage also provided many valuable insights and examples, which I think are very valuable for reference.

Dharma Master Huishen believed that she had studied Buddhism for 30 years in her life, and felt deeply that all the principles revealed in the Buddhist scriptures were correct truth. She had not yet seen any contradiction or doubt, and the phenomenon of karma was no exception. She said that Sakyamuni could have six divine powers (heavenly eye, heavenly ear, fatalism, his mind, divine foot, and leakage), which could understand everything in the world, and could know the past Now and in the future, we can see the process of all laws and changes of the universe and all living beings. The prophet with such superb wisdom has repeatedly announced the principle of karma to all living beings. We believe that this must be a universal and certain law. However, because the factors involved in karma are sometimes very complex, it is not easy to see or immediately appear, so many living beings are often confused and unwilling to believe it, Many intellectuals even readily denounce it as nonsense or superstition, but refuse to study it in an objective and modest manner. This phenomenon of self-denial of the truth is really regrettable. She frankly said that with her lifetime experience and countless facts, almost all of them prove that everything in the world is a causal phenomenon. Such examples are too numerous to enumerate.

She said that there was a man in Jiayi (Gu Yin's name) who once confessed to him privately. He said that he liked reading pornographic novels or similar books and periodicals very much when he was in middle school. Later, influenced by these novels, he mistook the nuns in some temples for misbehaving, so he often went to the temple with his backpack to watch the nuns' behavior and whereabouts. Once he thought that he was suspicious, he would go back to the temple and make a big announcement, He did his best to slander, so he was very immoral. Shortly after that, he suffered a car accident, and his eyes were inserted by the glass fragments of the car window. As a result, he was completely blind because of the injury. At this time, he deeply realized the bitter consequences of evil and retribution. Although I regret it, it's too late.

In ancient times, Emperor Liang Wu was enthusiastic about Buddhism, so he often communicated with monks who became monks. Once he played chess with a monk in the palace. In the middle of the game, Emperor Liang Wudi suddenly felt anxious. Before going to the toilet, he saw that the chess game could eat the other side's son, so he shouted "kill", then left the table and went back to the original place. At this time, we couldn't see Dui Yi's monk, so we asked the left and right where the monk was going. The guard next to him told the emperor. Just now the emperor ordered to kill the monk, so he had to act according to the order and drag the monk out to be executed. Emperor Wu was surprised at the misunderstanding and wrong killing of the guard, but also felt very sorry. He further asked the guard how the monk said before he was executed. The guard said: The monk appeared very calm, but sighed and said: 'The previous life was killed in vain, and the present life was killed by mistake, everything is cause and effect, everything is certain.' This happened to fulfill a sentence in the Buddhist scripture: 'If you are not killed by thousands of calamities, you will receive the rewards when you encounter the fate.'

In addition, many listeners also wrote to tell her about the strange experience of cause and effect, which has repeatedly proved that the phenomenon of cause and effect is not false.

The following is a typical example. A listener in the north (Gu Yin's name) wrote that she was a woman selling pork. In order to earn more money, she usually poured more water into the pig's viscera, so that the kidney that was originally only 60 yuan could be sold for more than 100 yuan, sometimes only 15 liang for one kilogram of meat, and sometimes the sow that was about to be produced was slaughtered, even the piglets in the stomach were not spared, It's cruel to think of it. The money she has made in recent years is indeed very considerable, but what makes her feel very distressed is that her physical pain seems to be increasing and more serious. Since she was in her twenties, she often felt the sound of water in her stomach, and felt very sad. However, no matter what medicine she took, it was not effective. After examination, she knew that it was severe gastroptosis. After the age of thirty, she felt sick all over. Especially when the kidney disease broke out, she felt as if she was filled with water, as if she was about to crack. The degree of pain could not be too much compared to hell on earth, which could not be described in words. Due to the suffering of illness for many years, he is now haggard and out of shape. In addition, Master Huishen once told her that the killing of a family would not be complete, and she found that the same was true. Her husband had a secret conversation with a married woman not long ago, and later moved on to live together. Moreover, the two people were addicted to gambling and often ignored the family, which made her very sad, disappointed, sad and helpless. Once I heard from a friend that an old colleague's face was swollen like a pig before he died, and he kept moaning and wailing, which was shocking. Now when I think of this tragedy, I can't help but feel waves of heartache and fear. At the same time, I really don't know how to make up for all the killing karma and sins I have created in my life, so I very much hope that the mage can enlighten and instruct me to redeem my past mistakes.

Dharma Master Huishen believed that if a person can realize the former wrongs, put down the butcher's knife, sincerely repent, repent, and practice hard, the past karma, no matter how deep, will have a day to clear up the grievances, and even to achieve the results. The way to achieve this goal is not only to stop doing evil, so as not to increase the karma, but also to cultivate wisdom and blessings. The so-called cultivation of wisdom is to learn all kinds of valuable wisdom, such as Buddhism and all kinds of truth and experience of life. The so-called cultivation of happiness is to practice charity and relieve the pain of others and all living beings with a compassionate attitude. The types of charity include financial charity, dharma charity and fearless charity. Among them, the greatest merit is dharma charity, because only persuading people to be good can make people understand the truth of life and the purpose and true meaning of life, Only then can everyone have wisdom, no longer be foolish and ignorant, and be able to further develop their hearts and become a real good person.

Money and fearless giving are also extremely valuable, but think about it. Once these rescued or rescued people recover from health or pain in the future, if they are ungrateful or do evil, it will not only be beneficial to the social population, but will also form a disaster. Therefore, the merit of "almsgiving" to save people's soul is often greater than that of the almsgiving to save people's body or help people in difficulties. For the reason of duty, one should not only be enthusiastic about giving rice, clothing, medicine, coffins to the unfortunate people, or building bridges and roads to serve the public, but also make more use of opportunities to persuade people to be good, educate all living beings, or donate and print Buddhist scriptures, good books or publications that are beneficial to the hearts of the people of the world, or fund the activities of preaching or speeches that have purification and education functions, because that is the only way, The real purpose of our charity will not be lost. Finally, Master Huishen hopes that readers can provide more opinions and support for the program of "The Light of Mercy" hosted by her.

     台湾中国广播公司‘慈光普照’节目主持人慧深法师对佛教经典极富造诣，讲道时又能深入浅出，并且经常以实际的经验或真实的故事来譬喻，因此极受一般听众的欢迎，最近笔者幸能认识这位法师并且向其请教和交换意见，深感获益良多，在有关因果现象的方面，法师更提供了不少极为可贵的见解和实例，笔者认为非常值得参考，因此特加引述，以飨读者。

慧深法师认为毕生研究佛法达三十年，深感佛经上所揭示的各种道理均属正确的真理，她迄今尚未发视有一矛盾或令人怀疑之处，因果报应的现象自然也不例外，她表示，释加牟尼能够具备六大神通（天眼通、天耳通、宿命通、他心通、神足通、漏尽通）可以了解大千世界的一切，可以察知过去、现在与未来的各世，能够透视宇宙与众生的一切法相和变化的历程，这位具备如此高超智慧的先知，一再向芸芸众生宣示因果报应的道理，我们相信这必然是一种普遍存在确实无疑的法则，不过由于因缘果报所涉及的因素有时甚为复杂，不易一目了然或立即显现，因此许多众生往往常感迷惑，不肯相信，许多知识份子，甚至动辄斥为无稽或指责为迷信，而不肯以客观和虚心的态度来加以深究，这种‘世智辩聪’（信佛的八大障碍之一）自绝真理的现象实在令人不胜遗憾。她坦率的表示，积毕生之经验，阅历无数的事实，几乎无一不证明世间一切均属因果现象，此种例证实在比比皆是不胜枚举。

她说，嘉义有一个男子（姑隐其名），曾经私下向其忏悔，他说他在念中学的时候非常喜欢看黄色小说或类似的书刊，后来由这些小说的影响，竟然误认有些寺庙的尼姑常有不轨的行为，因此竟然时常背著书包跑到庙寺观看尼姑的举止行踪，一有自认可疑的表现，回去后便绘声绘影大事宣扬，极尽毁谤之能事，因此非常缺德，事后不久他便遭遇到一场车祸，而他的双眼便被车窗的玻璃碎片不偏不倚插入其中，结果便因伤势过重而完全失明，这时他才深切体会到恶有恶报的苦果。事后尽管十分后悔，可惜已经太迟。

古代梁武帝因热心向佛，因此经常与出家的和尚往来。有一次在宫中与一和尚下棋，下到中途，梁武帝忽感内急，上厕前看到当时棋局可以吃掉对方一子，乃喊一声‘杀却’，随即离席而去，解手后又回到原处。这时却看不到对奕的和尚，因此就问左右，和尚何往，旁边的卫士乃禀告皇帝。刚才皇帝下令杀却，因此只好依令行事，将该和尚拖出去处斩，武帝对卫士的误解和错杀至感意外惊讶，同时也感到十分歉疚，乃进一步问卫士，这位和尚临刑前如何表示，卫士称：这位和尚表现很平静，只是叹口气说：‘前世枉杀人，今世被误杀，一切是因果，凡事皆定数。’这一件恰好应验了佛经上的一句话：‘假使千百劫，所作业不亡，因缘会遇时，果报还自受。’

此外，许多听众还写信告诉她有关因果的奇特经验，这些都一再证明因果的现象并不虚妄。

下面便是一个典型的实例，有一位在北部的听众（姑隐姓名）来信表示，她是一位卖猪肉的妇女，平常为了多赚一些钱，大都在猪的内脏多灌些水，使原来只有六十块钱的肾可以卖到一百多块，有时卖一斤肉也只有给十五两，有时对快要生产的母猪也加以宰杀，连肚子里面的小猪都不放过，想起来真是十分残忍。近年来赚到的钱的确非常可观，不过使她感到很苦恼的是自己身体的病痛似乎愈来愈多，也愈来愈感到严重。自从二十几岁开始，她就常常感到胃里面有水声，感到很难过，然而不管吃什么药都无效，经过检查才知道是严重的胃下垂，三十岁以后感到浑身都是病痛，尤其是肾病发作时，便如被灌满了水，好像快要裂开一样的难受，其痛苦的程度比喻为人间地狱也不为过，实在无法用笔墨来形容。由于多年来病痛的折磨，现在已经面容憔悴，不成人形。此外，慧深法师曾经告诉她，杀生的家庭都不会圆满，她发现事实也是如此，她的丈夫不久以前与一有夫之妇暗通款曲，后来更进一步同居，而且两个人又是嗜赌如命，经常不顾家庭，使她十分伤心失望、悲痛和无奈。有一次听友人说，有一个老同行在去世之前脸部居然肿得像猪一样，而且不断呻吟哀号，令人触目惊心，现在一想起这一幅惨状，就不禁感到一阵阵的心寒和疑惧，同时对于这一生所造的各种杀业和罪孽，真不知道要如何加以弥补，因此非常希望法师能够加以开导指示，以赎前愆。

慧深法师认为一个人如果能够开悟前非，放下屠刀衷心忏悔，迁善改过，努力修持，则以往的业障不管如何的深重，都有消解冤孽，甚至修成证果的一天，而达成这一目标的方法除了消极方面，不再为恶以免增加业障之外，应该努力修慧和修福。所谓修慧乃是学习各种宝贵的智慧，例如佛法和人生的各种真理和经验，所谓修福乃是力行布施，以慈悲的态度来解除别人和一切众生的痛苦，而布施的种类有财施、法施和无畏施三种，而其中功德最大的乃是法施，因为唯有劝人为善，使人明了为人处世的道理及人生究竟的目的和真义，才能使人人具有智慧，不再痴愚不悟，而且能够进一步发心向善，成为一个真正的好人。

财施和无畏施固然也极为可贵，不过想一想，这一些被解救或接济的人，将来一旦恢复健康或痛苦消除之后，如果忘恩负义，或为非作歹，则对社会人群不仅没有益处，反而还会形成了祸害。因此救人心灵的‘法施’其功德往往要大于救助人的肉体或帮助人困难的这一类施舍。职是之故，一个人平常不仅要热心对不幸的人布施米粮、衣物、医药、棺木或从事铺桥造路，服务大众，而且还更应该多多利用机会劝人为善，教化众生，或捐印推广有益世道民心的佛经、善书或刊物，或资助有净化和教育作用的布道或演讲的活动才是，因为唯有如此，我们布施的真正目的才不致于落空。最后慧深法师希望读者对于她所主持的‘慈光普照’这个节目能够多多提供意见，并加以支持。
