Uncovering secret causality in Life

——Stories from Teacher Chen Dahui's Speech Group

At the second Hebei Provincial Citizen Moral Education Forum, a woman from a mountainous area told her tragic life story. She was not loved from a young age and hoped to change the status quo through marriage when she grew up, but unfortunately she got married and fell into a poor family. After marriage, my family was hit by lightning once, my house was burned three times, and my husband was sentenced to life for murder. Faced with continuous disasters, she couldn't figure out why she was so unlucky. It wasn't until she participated in the forum hosted by Teacher Chen Dahui and listened to many stories of fate caused by her heart that she began to reflect on herself and find the root cause of her disaster. Everything is created by one's own heart. Without that kind of heart, how could one have such a fate?

She said to herself that she had a strong rebellious and jealous heart since childhood. She is the eldest daughter in the family, and at the beginning, the whole family doted on her. After having siblings, she naturally became less valued. So he particularly resented his parents, disliked his siblings, was selfish, and disobedient. I see my home as a pit of fire and I really want to leave it.

Later on, I met a man who didn't know anything and quickly got married. The main reason is that I dislike my family for being poor, and another reason is that he is handsome. "When she got married, she said harshly to her parents," It would be better to ask for food in the future than to come to your doorstep. "Who knew that after marrying, she realized that her husband's family was even poorer. Things are always so mixed up that they are not satisfactory. The resentment naturally intensified, 'I've never been happy before'.

Her husband's 83-year-old grandmother came to stay at her house, and she was very unhappy. As soon as Grandma walked in, she slammed the door without saying a word. Grandma is a person who needs face, left sadly, and passed away six months later. My grandmother was widowed in her thirties and worked hard to raise her children. Unfamilial behavior is a serious loss of fortune, which harms virtuous elderly people, especially seriously.

During the period when my grandmother passed away, a thunderstorm struck, and lightning passed between her and the child, igniting the blanket and setting the house on fire. Fortunately, the people in the village rushed to put out the fire and did not completely burn it out. Cut some grass yourself and make do with building the house. She has a natural appearance, and her resentment is always hidden in her heart. Everyone naturally sympathizes with her. People in rural areas believe that thunder only strikes villains, how can she be hit by thunder without any reason? She and the people in the village both believed that the thunder was crooked.

Her resentment grew stronger due to her poor family situation. I particularly resent my father-in-law for not earning money for her, looking down on him and blaming him for eating and being buried. She complains all day and has no happy days.

Later, there was a strong wind and a haystack outside the village caught fire. The wind carried a fire and passed through many households in the village, only setting her house on fire. Except for a four wheeled car, the house burned down to the point where there was nothing left. Why does she feel like she has such a hard life? It turned out that the thunder was crooked, but this time the wind blew again, and bad luck always followed her. She grew increasingly resentful in her heart, feeling that her husband's entire family was not treating her well.

Her parents borrowed money from her everywhere, and the government subsidized her with thousands of yuan before she could rebuild the house. The house was built better than the average family in the village. "When we lived in a big house, we were both very arrogant and walked with our backs straight." At that time, she completely forgot the words she had said in the past that she would rather ask for a meal than enter her mother's house.

Full of warmth and lustful thoughts, my family has improved, and my heart has become restless. She began to learn the way she looked on TV, dressed very seductively, with a bare chest and back. This is particularly eye-catching in rural areas, naturally attracting bees and butterflies quickly, and soon having a good relationship. So I didn't like my husband either, and that's not right. I was making a lot of noise about getting divorced all day.

At this moment, her three eldest sisters were also arguing for a divorce, and her brother-in-law asked her to help persuade them. She advised her aunt in person and secretly instigated her to divorce, pleading for her grievances: "What are you doing with such a poor man? Leave now." This quickly made her brother-in-law know, and in anger, she ran over to pour diesel on her house and set it on fire. Fortunately, the neighbor put out the fire in a timely manner and only burned half of the room. Her husband immediately chased her aunt's house on a motorcycle and killed her husband in a fight. He was subsequently imprisoned and sentenced to life. The remaining house has also been sold to compensate my aunt's family. A family of three has no place to live. Fortunately, later on, the kind-hearted people in the village who studied "Disciple Regulations" supported her and helped her build a residence outside the village.

She hates her aunt very much for this matter, always thinking that this disaster was caused by her aunt.

Afterwards, she continued to interact with her lover. Once, while calling her lover at the doorstep, a heavy iron door suddenly fell down and hit her in the face, only to wake her up. She said to herself, "I thought at that time, everyone said hello, it's a curse from heaven!" Only then did she begin to realize her mistake. Although she didn't believe in causality before, she knew there was a theory of causality. At this moment, it was only before the repeated achievements began to reflect. It's also from here that we start to calm down. As soon as we straighten our hearts, the wild bees and butterflies outside will naturally disappear. This is what kind of heart, what kind of environment to attract.

Later, she followed the people in the village to participate in the study of "Disciple Regulations", listened to some lectures, and then reflected on herself, only then did she know where natural disasters used to be, all of them were human disasters, all of which were inspired by herself. From a young age, I resented my parents, siblings without any reason, and after marriage, I unjustly resented my husband's family. After the accident, not only did they not reflect and feel guilty, but they also hated the victims' families. Complaining all day, feeling that no one is worthy of oneself. It's always someone else's fault, and I never miss it myself. After understanding myself, I publicly shared my mistakes in forum lectures to alert the public. No matter where you go, you'll find the shore as soon as you turn around. If we had just woken up earlier, we wouldn't have paid such a heavy price.

Her problems are extremely common in society. A person who appears to be inherently kind may not have caused any great evil, but is too selfish and never knows how to think for others; Lack of basic gratitude and contentment, with too much resentment in the heart; Unfilial; Playing extramarital affairs; Provoking right and wrong. These seem to be very small things, very common, and now very common. Looking at online posts, this concept and behavior are almost overwhelming, almost becoming a common value. The people who post take it for granted and never feel that they are wrong. Little did they know that this erroneous concept and behavior are seriously undermining their own blessings, even causing disasters, and also driving some people who read posts into the abyss.

The various Dharma mindsets are born, and what kind of mind naturally generates what kind of state. Some people feel that they have always been responsible, why do they still live such a miserable life? Some people who are responsible are just cowardly and not necessarily out of gratitude and contentment, generosity and compassion. To the people around me, although I don't speak clearly, my heart is filled with resentment, jealousy, and hatred. Looking at others' left and right is also wrong, I feel that my family and friends are not right about me. I secretly crave for others to be in trouble and enjoy gloating over misfortunes. What kind of state do you think such a heart will evoke? As stated in the "Record of Yu Jingyi's Meeting with the Kitchen God": "Your greed, lust, jealousy, narrow-minded eagerness, arrogance and inferiority, nostalgia for past times, revenge and kindness, longing for your heart, without discipline... and filled with evil intentions, lingering ups and downs, still eager to blame heaven for its beauty. Like planting thorns all over the land, foolishly looking for the harvest of the harvest, is it not absurd

Others' stories can also be their own mirrors. Looking at yourself in this mirror, is it really always someone else's fault, and have you never missed it?
