Can Buddhism explain why there are bad people?

Master Yu Yi said in the "Lingfeng Sect Treatise": "There is no good and ugly in the environment, and the good and ugly start from the heart" The environment is the material environment, and the relationship is the personnel environment, all people and everything;

What does that mean? It's that turnips and greens have their own love, and the difference in love comes from their different moods, or different karma, some people feel good about the same place and the same scenery, some people feel nothing, and some people feel terrible.

In Buddhism, it is said that "if the heart is pure, the land is pure", if your heart is not pure, no one will look like a good person; If the mind is pure, then everyone is a bodhisattva.

Let me tell you a true story of Su Dongpo:

Su Shi is a great talent, and Buddha Yin is a high monk, and the two often participate in Zen and meditate together. Foyin is honest and always bullied by Su Shi. Su Shi is sometimes very happy to take advantage, and when he goes home, he likes to tell his talented sister Su Xiaomei.

One day, the two meditated together again.

Su Shi asked: What do you look like me?

The Buddha seal said, "I see you like a Buddha."

Su Shi laughed after hearing this, and said to Buddha Yin: Do you know what I see you sitting there like? It's like a pile of cow dung.

This time, Foyin suffered a dumb loss again.

Su Shi went home and showed off this matter in front of Su Xiaomei.

Su Xiaomei sneered and said to her brother, as far as your understanding is concerned, what do you know about Zen people? It's seeing the heart, and you have it in your heart. The Buddha Yin said that if you look like a Buddha, it means that he has a Buddha in his heart; You say that the Buddha seal is like cow dung, think about what you have in your heart!

After reading this story, I think you should know the answer if you are smart.

Happy National Day to you.

Because of "ignorance", we don't understand the truth of life in the universe, so we do a lot of foolish things, wrong things that hurt other people or sentient beings. It's the so-called bad guy, but in fact, it's all good by nature. The Buddha said that everyone has Buddha nature. As the saying goes, "The Buddha is the person who has come before, and the person is the Buddha of the future".

There are six reincarnations in the world, there are laws of cause and effect, and the appearance of bad people is caused by the law of cause and effect, and the second is the appearance of greed, hatred, ignorance, and ignorance. People do everything for their own purpose and for some reason, but the method is not appropriate, so they commit sin and become a bad person. For example, people need money, and ordinary people donate money by legitimate means such as going to work or doing business; And the so-called bad guys rob banks and so on, the purpose is the same, but the method is wrong.

Because I don't know it. Fundamentally speaking, ignorance and unconsciousness give rise to the three subtle confusions.

In the case of the Buddha, it is said that there is a separate mind, and in the Buddha's equal view of all beings, it is not because a good person can be more compassionate to him, and it is not because a bad person is hateful to him, but because there is no reason for great compassion, and there is great compassion in the same body.

Those who are bad people create karma, create karma because of confusion, cry because of karma, this is the cycle of confusion and suffering.

The mind is delusional, compared to the appearance, clinging to the fake, and greedy, because of greed for evil, the mind is obsessed, all the bitterness and disgust, all from the heart greed, the heart is not greedy for the body, nor greedy for things, in order to become a Buddha, return to the essence, self-proof of supernatural powers, if not, clinging to the false form, will definitely die, and then die again. until he repents and knows that everything is false. Fang Ming Truth.

It seems that there is no classic that specifically states that being struck by lightning is a bad person, but everything has its cause and effect. But cause and effect can't be messed up. Good causes good effects, evil causes evil retribution, and everything has its antecedents and consequences.

But not necessarily as we see it. For example, there was a celestial being who was supposed to fall into the donkey's womb after death, but because he took refuge in the Three Jewels, he was saved from the suffering of the evil path by taking refuge in the merits of the Three Jewels. So, in terms of appearance, it became, this donkey went crazy, knocked over the master's things, was beaten, and slipped the tire, that is, the donkey fetus died.

From our point of view, it seems that the stillborn is very pitiful, but in fact, it is the heavenly beings who are free from the suffering of the evil path and return to heaven to be heavenly beings, so it is difficult for us ordinary people to see what is going on, so we can only say that we try not to create evil as much as possible, try to create good, no matter what realm we encounter, try not to think about evil, do not think about the bad, think about the good in everything, so that life can also live freely and happily.

Cause and effect are intricate, not as simple as one-to-one, so if you don't understand it, as long as you believe that good will be rewarded, it's fine. Sometimes it may seem like a bad thing, but in fact, it may be a good thing, and it's important to stay kind.

Sow good causes, reap good results; Sow evil causes, reap evil results. This is the most fundamental view of Buddhism on "good and evil".

Any retribution should be considered from three aspects.

One is the fundamental sin, for example, if I have a heartbeat, I am going to kill him, and if I am sure that I have done so, then the fundamental crime is established.

The second is the crime of convenience, for example, since I want to achieve the goal of killing, I have to prepare knives, poisons, ropes, etc., or I want to borrow a knife to kill people and start to sow discord. These are ready, and the crime of convenience is established.

The third is that he has achieved his goal and killed him, which is called a crime.

Therefore, there are also differences in the corresponding retribution, for example, although there is a fundamental sin, but for various reasons there is no preparation, let alone killing, such evil retribution is much less, or even none.

There is a root and convenience, but there is no killing, because that person later died of illness, and such a bad retribution will be much smaller.

The three sins are fully established and the goal is achieved, so that it is the achievement of killing, or the achievement of killing (such as the butcher killing a pig) will be achieved in the future, and killing will go to hell, killing will become a habit, and it will fall into the animal path and even hell.

It is also possible that there is only a sin, such as not intentionally, it is a work error, etc., so there is also a retribution, but it is minor.

So the law of cause and effect is extremely complex, and the best one to talk about is the Łapasa Sutra Lectures, you can also look at these books.

It depends on the viciousness of the heart and the victim's victimization.

Relative retribution, or bad luck in life.

Buddhism talks about reincarnation. It doesn't come into being, it's always been like this, there is no beginning and no end.

Buddhist scriptures record that human beings come from the light and sound heavens and are born on the earth by karma.
