Human relationship is subject to 4
kinds of causes ( how we can meet each other and can be a family members out
of 7 billions people in this world? )
What are the 4?
(i)
Demand repayment
(tao zhai 讨债)
(ii)
Repay
one’s debt
( huan zhai 还债)
(iii)
Pay a debt of gratitute
(bao en 报恩)
(iv)
Seek for revenge
(bao yuan 报怨)
An old Dhamma master once said:
(Hong Kong Shou Yan Lao Fa Shi)
Husband and wife are predestined
relationship (yuan
缘).
There is good yuan(shan yuan) and
there is bad
yuan(e yuan).
The good one will be clinging to each
other and the bad one will fight with each other till no end.
Children are debts (zhai债)
Some will come to seek for repayment
(tao zhai 讨债 because we have owed him in the past)
Some will come to repay his gratitute
to the parents . (bao en 报恩).
This little girl is a bao en’s kid.
She was adopted by the old lady and
she took well care of her sick adopted mother .
There was a successful rich
businessman who owned a big company has
celebrated his 50 years old birthday.
In the birthday party there were a
lot of his friends came to celebrate
with him.
To his surprise when he watched from far and noticed that his son’s
appearance look exactly like his former German boss.
At once, this businessman has
realized what was happening .
He realised that his son was the one
who came to demand for repayment ( Tao
Zhai).
When this businessman was young, he
worked in a German company. One fine
year the German boss went back to his
country and left his business for
this young worker to take care of.
Unfortunately, the German boss fell
sick and passed away in his home country. He never returned for his business.
The young worker then took over the
business and he became the company’s new boss.
He managed the business well and soon
he became rich.
He got married and has a son.
The son appeared to be a very naughty
kid. How naughty he is?
When he was 10 years of age, an uncle saw his money dropped on the floor. The uncle picked up
the money and wanted to give the money back
to him.
The uncle asked the boy to call him “shu shu
叔叔” (means uncle ) then he will get back his money (is a 10 yuan renmingbi note).
The naughty boy asked that uncle to
call him “Shu Shu”
and he will give that uncle another 10
yuan renmingbi.
You see, money was nothing to this
little boy. He not even appreciate that 10 yuan and wanted to give another 10
yuan to the uncle. It was really a great embarrassment.
During the party night, the
businessman has realized and understood
what he must do next.
Immediately that night itself,
in front of all his relatives and friends he made an announcement
that he will hand over his company to
his son (previous life was the German boss).
Since then the son has became a good
man.
He ran the business well and treated
the father well too.
Luckily the businessman understand
Dhamma and believe in cause and effect.
(yin
guo 因果).
He has made a very wise decision to
hand over the company to his son. Other wise this son might ruined his business
and will harm him too.
because he ( the son) was coming to
get back his properties and took revenge on this businessman.
Nowadays we can see rebellious children who even dare
to kill their parents.
There was an incident just happened
recently where a son has beated his mother to death.
(the two of them have bad yuan,
That was
past life unfinished
business carried till this life.)
This bad yuan has not settled
in
a wise way (Dhamma way ) , it carried till this life (meet).
The poor mother has vowed during her
last breath that she will never forgive
her son. She was full of hatred when she passed away.
We have learnt Dhamma now and
understand that human’s relationships actually are very complicated.
Master Chin Kung advices us that no
matter what kind of yuan (relationship) we meet in this life, we have to accept it (whether
bad or good)
If we meet the good yuan, we can
encourage each other to cultivate
Dhamma ( do good deeds). We can upgrade
the good yuan to fa yuan (Dhamma relationship),
together Nian Fo to gain enlightenment (wang sheng).
This is from GOOD upgrade to BETTER and even to the BEST.
Can wang sheng will be the best.
Today if you meet someone who is very
difficult to get along with, no need to grumble , there must be some reasons
behind.
Handle the situation wisely.
Don’t add more “spices or fire” on
top of these.
During Buddha time, there was a lady
who was beaten badly by her husband almost everyday. At first she fought back, later she came to seek
help from Buddha.
Buddha told her about the cause of
this happening.
In the previous life, her husband was
her donkey (worked in her farm), everyday she would beat the donkey badly.
In this life the donkey has
reincarnated as a human, both of them met and became husband and wife.
The donkey came to seek revenge.
That is why her husband for no reason
would beat her badly.
Buddha taught her to accept and
settle this bad yuan.
Buddha told her to go home and
prepared a belt to put on the table.
When the husband came home, she
offered herself to her husband to beat
her with the belt.
After three times of beating, her
husband stopped.
Her husband felt strange why she was
not struck (hit) him back this time.
Then only she told her husband about
their past life story.
Since that day onwards, this couple
lived harmoniously and they go to thank Buddha for the guidance and started to cultivate
Dhamma path then.
(this is an example of upgrading a bad yuan to good yuan and
even fa yuan.)
Bad yuan (due to unfinish
negative business), will always quarrel
or fight, torture each other.
In this case, the best way is to accept and settle it.
Master Chin Kung Said, if he scold
you, you just recite Amituofo will do,
don’t scold back, then one debt has settled (settling debts).
Everytime he scold you or find
trouble with you, never mind, you just recite Amituofo, at the end
he will not scold or torture you
anymore (all debts has repaid).
In
this way the bad yuan will upgrade to good
yuan.
Good yuan (has cultivated good
causes), this pair will be a loving
couple, they care for each other.
This is not good enough because this
loving attachment will be the cause of clinging (can not let go) during one
must leave this world one day later.
The best is Fa yuan (Dhamma
relationship). Both can encourage each other to cultivate Dhamma and Nian Fo
together. Both will
make a promise to work hard
(Nian Fo) and will be meeting each
other in Xi Fang Ji Le Shi Jie
one day later.
No matter how loving a couple is,
there will be a separation day.
If both will be to born to Xi Fang Ji Le Shi Jie than only can
be together forever.
“We have no choice when we
came
but we can decide
and
prepare where we
want
to go.”
