    The Buddha and Bodhisattva are not subject to karma, this is slandering the Buddha, see [Wisdom Bodhisattva Asks the Great Good Power Sutra] and other scriptures.

    Baizhang Huaihai asked, "Who are you?" ”

    The old man said, "I am not a human being, but I used to live on this mountain when I was a Buddha in the past, because a scholar asked, 'Do monks still fall into cause and effect?' ’

    I said, 'No cause or effect.' Then I have been in the wild fox body for 500 lifetimes, and today I ask the master to give me a lecture and let me get out of the wild fox body. ”

    Hearing this, Zen Master Baizhang Huaihai was a little surprised, but immediately regained his composure and said to the old man, "You ask." ”

    The old man asked, "Do ordained practitioners still fall into cause and effect (governed by the law of cause and effect)?" ”

    Baizhang Huaihai Zen Master said: "There is no cause and effect. ”

    When the old man heard this, he came to his senses and hurriedly said, "I have left the wild fox and live behind the mountain. Ask for the resurrection of the dead monk. ”

    Baizhang Huaihai Zen Master immediately gathered the monks and sent them away after the meal.

    Everyone is talking, everyone is good, and there are no dead people, why do you send the dead monk after dinner? Who died, everyone was at a loss.

    After the meal, Baizhang Huaihai Zen Master led all the people to the bottom of the rock behind the mountain, picked out a dead wild fox with a cane, and cremated the ...... according to the laws and regulations of Buddhism

    After all, those who are ordained are not yet perfect, more or less, will be affected by cause and effect, except for the Buddha.

    The answer to this question is not so difficult to think of, in fact, it is not ignorant of cause and effect, but it is still wrong, because not all people who practice Buddhism are ignorant of cause and effect, if all people who practice Buddhism are ignorant of cause and effect, why do many monks break their vows? Hehe.

    If it is not ignorant of cause and effect, but also wrong, it seems that Baizhang Huaihai Zen Master is also going to fall into the wild fox body.

    If you say that if you don't fall into cause and effect, you will fall into a slow increase, and because of pride and arrogance, you will fall into the wild fox body, all because he is not happy to hear more Buddhist scriptures, not happy to think more about the Dharma, and not enough to see and think about the Dharma, so that this kind of arrogance and evil views will come out.

    It is not so much that he misled sentient beings, but that he was the victim of his own arrogance and lack of cultivation.

    If he was right at that time, then unless he had become a Buddha and his body was like a void, then he would no longer fall into cause and effect and all kinds of six colored bodies.

    Why do I say it's possible? Because there is not only one answer to this question, the answer to this question can only be made according to the level of the person you are referring to as a practitioner.

    Although there are many answers, in general, there are three kinds, one is indeed a person who does not fall into cause and effect, but this kind of person is the least, one is a person who does not know cause and effect, this kind of person is very rare, and one is a person who is not aware of cause and effect, and this kind of person is the most.

    You may be asking, why does the first type of person who does not fall into cause and effect happen? According to the examples of several stories in the Ahama Sutra, those people who have attained nirvana have no cause and effect, so this answer is generated, and of course the Buddha himself is also a special case.

    But this kind of person who does not fall into cause and effect is a very diligent person, and this old elder, because he is not such a person, so he makes an answer that does not fit himself, and he will be punished by the wild fox body, because generally speaking, we should take the majority as the standard, not a very few.

    Becoming a monk and practicing is just that there are fewer evil deeds in this life, and no matter how many negative karma you have created since the beginningless eons, the cause and effect will not be empty, and they will all be returned, and there will also be karma after becoming a monk.

    Karma really exists, everything has an effect, there must be a cause, and all things are mutually reinforcing.

    The Chinese have a saying: "There is a god in the head three feet", and each of us has a god above our heads. There is another way of saying it:

    There is a blue sky three feet above your head. Man can be deceived, but heaven cannot be deceived. This is to tell us to constantly examine our hearts and minds, our actions, and to stop evil and do good.

    As soon as each of us is born, there are two gods with us every day, one called the same birth and the other with the same name, standing on our shoulders. The god of the same name is male, white, and a good god; The co-living God is a woman, a black being, and a being.

    The God of Evil. Any one of us who has a thought, whether it is good or evil, they will write it down. Therefore, it is better not to have any thoughts in our hearts, so as not to create evil causes. If you create a bad cause, you have to turn back quickly and don't keep going.

    Go, have broken the commandments.

    In ancient times, many cultivated masters were alone, and their hearts and minds were still walking on thin ice, because they knew that people were doing it, and the sky was watching. Don't even think about bad things! Recently, I watched Yu Jingyigong.

    I feel very deeply when I meet the god of the stove, really, what we are thinking in our hearts The gods know it, so we have to learn Yu Jingyi Taoist, pure mind, that is, clean mind, we have to clean our minds, don't move evil thoughts anymore. Hope.

    I hope you will always know that each of us has a god in our body, who can remember good and evil, and in the future, we will suffer the consequences of suffering and happiness along with each person's good and evil karma, and karma will not be happy at all.

    Psychics have a detailed answer to this question. You can check it out.

    Karma, not at all!

    If there are hundreds of eons and the work is not destroyed, when karma meets, the retribution will be retributed.

    The cause and effect are clearly determined, and the ancient and modern beans are not hemp.

    If good and evil are not rewarded with sin, how can the sages believe in him?

    Cause and effect can't just be looked at for a while, because many people don't have a deep understanding of cause and effect, so they have doubts, if you can understand cause and effect objectively and deeply, maybe those things that violate cause and effect, you won't say it anymore, and you won't do anything that violates cause and effect.

    Cause and effect are real, Buddhism often says, all laws are empty, cause and effect are not empty, it can be said that cause and effect is above all the worldly law, we live in this world, we must follow the law of cause and effect, because those who follow the heavens prosper and those who go against the heavens die.

    Is there really retribution? Why is there retribution, and can retribution really work?

    Anyone can suffer. No matter what the status. But there is no difference between repairing and not cultivating.

    For example, if you plant the seeds of two identical poisonous trees, they will grow the same at the beginning, and you will let it grow as you like, and you will spray it with herbicide and roast it with fire, although the vitality of this tree is very strong, but if you do this for a long time, it will slow down and even lose its ability to mature completely. The difference between repairing and not repairing is the same. Regardless of it, it will snowball, and in the end there will be a huge retribution, and if you go to repair it, with the degree of effort, the retribution will shrink, and even if it appears, it will not be very serious.

    Of course, as long as you have not cultivated to the realm of Arhat Bodhisattva, every move will be retributed. Monk practice is no exception.

    Recently, I read Lin Qingxuan's book, which tells the story of a wild fox.

    In the Tang Dynasty, there was a Baizhang Zen master who was good at preaching scriptures and sayings. The Baizhang Mountain where he lives is 5,000 feet high, but the Zen guests are not far away, and the venue is full. And there was an old man who often listened to the Dharma with the crowd, and when the Dharma was dispersed, he also dispersed.

    One day, after hearing this, the old man refused to leave, standing in front of Baizhang as if he had doubts, Baizhang asked him, who are you?

    I'm a fox. The old man said. "Like you, I used to cultivate in the mountains and preach the scriptures.

    A practitioner came to me and asked me, "Will a great practitioner still fall into cause and effect?" I said, 'No cause or effect.' Because I answered this sentence incorrectly, after I died, I fell into the animal road and became a wild fox for 500 years.

    Now that the time has come for me to be a fox, can I ask the master to give me a lecture on this question: Will great cultivators still fall into cause and effect? Let me take off this wild fox.

    Baizhang said: "I don't know cause and effect. ”

    The old man came to his senses, thanked him and left.

    The next day, Baizhang led his apprentices to find the corpse of a wild fox in the back mountain, and his body was peaceful and soft. It's the fox who asked the law yesterday.

    Baizhang closed his eyes and pondered, then opened his eyes with a clear gaze, and said to his apprentice: Just one word difference, we fell into evil taste, and became a fox for five hundred generations, when we spread wisdom, how can we be careless?

    When I read this, my heart sank, and like the author's perception, I remembered that our daily words, especially those who preach and teach and solve doubts, can not be cautious and mislead others and ourselves?

    The so-called cause and effect, according to the Dharma, the great practitioner cannot transcend cause and effect, and is still in the cause and effect, and cannot not fall behind, but can only be ignorant and ambiguous, and is clearly aware of cause and effect, and does not think that he is happy when he obtains good results, and does not think he suffers when he suffers evil consequences, and this is the attitude of true practitioners.

    Teach the right way to solve doubts, and take the heart of kindness and cultivation as the original intention of teaching others.

    We will encounter a lot of unfairness in life, and if these phenomena do not happen to us, we may just sigh temporarily, and we may forget about it when we turn our minds.

    I once chatted with a senior brother and asked them: If a person makes a fortune, but his wealth is all by abducting and deceiving customers, will there be karma? When cultivating Buddhism, don't you often say that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded, and it is not that the time has not yet come.

    Senior brother said to me: What we usually talk about cause and effect is just talk, and people who are really afraid of cause and effect have already gone to practice, and they will not roll in this red dust world like you.

    And good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded, you will find in life that not all people are good and evil. Therefore, in order to cover up the truth in this regard, some believers stretch your time period into the previous life and the next life, so that you cannot verify it.

    Does cause and effect exist? It is also correct to say that it exists, for example, when we plant a seed, it is the cause, and when it sprouts, blossoms and bears fruit, it is the fruit. But there is another situation, when we plant a seed, there is no condition, and it is impossible to expect it to sprout, blossom and bear fruit.

    I have also seen too many religious people, abducting and deceiving for huge profits, spending all their days drinking and lusting, aren't they afraid of cause and effect? Because cause and effect are just what they tell others, but they never believe it.

    People who are really worried about cause and effect have already gone to practice, and they will not be in the red dust world.

    So as long as you work hard to make money, sometimes you should use some routines to use some routines to do flickering appropriately, there is no need to have so many psychological burdens, because there are many aspects of life, in addition to making money, we also have a family, so when you worry about making money because of cause and effect, you will lose your family. How can you make up for that aspect of cause and effect?

    The Story of Wild Fox Zen: Ignorance of Cause and Effect.

    Summary. This is a lack of understanding of retribution. Karma is a neutral word rather than a derogatory term, and it represents the result of our actions, and the "Jizo Sutra" says, "Nanyan Futi sentient beings, actions and thoughts, all are karma, all are not sin", which means that all our actions have retribution, but the retribution is good and bad, and there are bad and bad retribution.

    Becoming a monk and returning to the laity, these are the two modes of practice, and you have your own choice. If you are still vulgar, you have also chosen another direction of your own development, although it is a pity, but it is not a bad thing, and your heart determines your future retribution.
