? They are old enough to count the time for the deceased, see the cemetery, find the way, cross the Naihe Bridge, and bury people in graves; When their children are frightened, or someone is suddenly possessed by evil spirits, they bring peach swords to exorcise evil spirits, reduce sperm, draw symbols and draw spells; Or who bought a new house and invited them to the house in the city. They are indispensable to everything. These ceremonies, large and small, have also brought them considerable income. Wherever they go, people hold high and respect them!
? But this group is actually a "fake Taoist" who wears Taoist robes and makes money according to folk customs.
The omnipotent "Taoist He" was once regarded as a god by the whole town. He was suddenly hospitalized and got cancer. When I saw him again, I was completely lost. He used to be tall, sang well and had a loud voice, but now he is as thin as a bone and his legs are as thin as compasses.
I helped him against the bed: "How long has it been? Spend a lot of money? "
"It took more than 500,000 yuan, and the home was hollowed out. It's been almost two years. This is really not a life for people. "
"Then why do you want to be a Taoist?"
"This is a family-style way to make money, and it doesn't take much effort. The host family also has delicious and delicious hospitality, and it also pays a lot. I inherited my father's career and lived a better life! "
I laughed as soon as I heard it, so I teased him: "What son inherits his father's career? Does this business also refer to karma? "
The Taoist priest was speechless at this time. I asked again, "Can your Tao take away the dead?"
"I don't know, as long as we follow the instructions, the family will ask us to do it. Anyway, this is how the older generation came over. I think I can cross it. Why else do so many people invite me? "
It is really Zhou Yu's fault. One is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer. What he has to bear is the stupidity and ignorance of many people.
Taoist He's "practice" is folk custom, but custom is not truth! It has nothing to do with reincarnation! He said that this is the way to make a living and will follow the process. He doesn't care about the effect and can't control it. People who spend money to buy peace of mind and show it to the living are not responsible for the dead.
It is true that when we have deceased relatives, we all hope that they can go to a good place in some way and stop suffering, so there is demand and supply. Therefore, black powder appears in various ways and figures, especially in the last days of Buddhism, where evil spirits and liars are rampant and various heresies mixed with Buddhism abound.
? See article 25, "Understanding and misunderstanding of Buddhism", for the evil of confessing to Buddhism by the founder of Nanwu. Criticize this problem severely, because there are quite a few cases where formal Buddhism and heresy are mixed together.
Because there are all kinds of tricks in the heretics, such as yin and yang feng shui, divination and fortune telling; What a beautiful day, the witch jumps; Praying for the curse of God and raising imps are heresies, especially under the slogan of Buddhism. Even some Buddhists who converted to the Three Treasures are still doing such activities, even calling them "Three Cities of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism". Mixing these with Buddhism is evil. It is conceivable that this can kill people in originality?
In fact, after death, no matter what it is, you can't report it with your own karma. Only when the living have karma with them can they release the dead, offer lanterns, be serious, return to the dead and increase their good deeds and merits. However, if they want to surpass it, they need real saints to do it.
The "Taoist priests" who rely on these bells and drums are all blind people lighting their lamps for nothing! But from our custom, these people have never been absent, and even occupy an important position to fool those ignorant people. ...
Fortunately, the ancient Buddha came to the world, bringing with it the legal meaning that is integrated with the origin of the Buddha. This is a Buddhism that has not been tampered with by the devil and points out the direction for us. It is the right way to go deep into Buddhist scriptures and listen to Buddha's dharma sounds, so as not to be deceived.
Please cherish the opportunity to spend your life with the Buddha, practice according to the teachings of the Buddha, and change the cause and effect through practice. Practice is the foundation of learning Buddhism, the industry of liberation and the source of sanctification.
May everyone stay away from feudal superstition, establish a correct understanding and viewpoint, and take the Bodhi Road.
