!”

The Bodhi Tree slowly shook his head and sighed: "The karma that the money donor mentioned is the karma in magical powers. It is only after I, the Buddha, attained the path of cause and effect and upheld the fruits of the path of cause and effect that I can have karma in heaven and earth, and have endless retribution."

.But before I, the Buddha, realize the path of cause and effect, won’t there be no karma?”

"Cause and effect?"

Qian Chen's pupils shrank, and he suddenly understood why the perfect path and fruit blessed by the twelve-grade golden lotus and Bodhi spiritual roots were not so mysterious.

The twelve-grade golden lotus is the fruit of good virtue, and the spiritual root of Bodhi is the fruit of Bodhi.

The avenue of cause and effect, which is most closely related to Buddhism, has no spiritual treasure to support it...

"Buddha is the one who has the deepest cultivation of the Path and Fruit. Other Dao Lords have put down the Path and Fruit. Only he picked it up and kept it in his hand. He will lift up the Path of Cause and Effect for all the heavens and worlds, so he is good.

Virtue karma comes down through the invisible avenue of cause and effect."

Kunlun Jing saw that Qian Chen didn't know the secret, so he traveled back in time and found a gap to tell Qian Chen.

"Upholding the Dao for heaven and earth?"

Qian Chen's face was solemn: "As expected of Buddha!"

"Karma is before the great road, and it is the principle that will last forever just like cause and condition."

Bodhi Spiritual Roots: "There are Buddhists who often say that those who do evil will be repaid with their own bodies. There is also the so-called three karma of speech, body and mind. They will be entangled in the past life with reincarnation, and the retribution of cause and effect will never end."

"Actually, before I, the Buddha, raise the avenue of cause and effect, there will be no retribution!"

"There is no retribution of karma... Evil people who do evil things and create evil karma will not have their own retribution."

"What?"

The less experienced spiritual treasures were all shocked. The various Buddhist teachings and the rewards of reincarnation mentioned by Buddhism were actually caused by him lifting up the path and fruit and forcibly stuffing them into the great avenue of heaven and earth. The bad karma obtained by those Buddhist practitioners actually came from the Buddha.

But the truly senior Lingbao was not moved at all.

Qian Chen frowned at first, then relaxed and said, "I didn't believe this either."

"But can the donor of the money trust others' intentions?" Bodhi Spirit Gen asked.

Qian Chen nodded slightly: "Others naturally have intentions too."

"If you have a heart, you will feel something, and if you feel something, you will receive karma."

"Sentient beings, because they have feelings, have hearts, and because they have hearts, they gain karma. If a stone is smashed into pieces without knowledge and therefore no mind, what karma can there be? But there are sentient beings in the world who do evil things and do evil.

Lifting, is there really no consequence?"

"Good and evil originate from the heart!" Qian Chen said calmly: "Therefore, karma comes from the heart!"

Bodhi Tree nodded slowly: "If you create bad karma, it will naturally be retribution on others!"

"The so-called karma is nothing more than touching other people's hearts, and leaving traces in the heart is karma. When one person speaks evil words and gossips, if they fall into the ears of others, they will fall into the hearts of others. This is karma! This is

For the sake of oral industry..."

"If one kills or robs, someone else will suffer, and this is what others will suffer."

"When a person is bullied as a child, he talks about right and wrong, and has a lot of malice. How can he have good intentions in his heart when he grows up? Killing people and setting fires like this, karma flows, tracing the cause and effect, isn't it due to karma? Looking at all evils, they are born from karma, and they are caused by karma.

circulation."

"Similarly, good deeds will also flow."

Qian Chen nodded slowly. He did not deny this. The Bodhi tree was just saying a very simple truth, that is, all effects have causes. There are no unprovoked sins. These sins arise from the aggregation of causes and conditions, but more importantly,

It is the flow of karma.

Looking back at all sins, the heart before it sprouts must be touched by others.

Whether this touch is caused by being hurt, or seeing evil with one's own eyes, or being influenced by some words.

They all exist!

All karma arises from the heart and is moved by the heart.

Qian Chen suddenly understood what the bodhi tree was trying to persuade him to do with compassion!

Even if he kills one person, even if he is an evil person, he has saved many people and prevented many people from being harmed by evil people in the future. But do evil people have no good thoughts?

Doesn't the act of killing create karma?

Good and evil go hand in hand. Qian Chen killed a robber and prevented the robber from killing more people later. But if the robber had a wife and children at home who starved to death because of the robber's death, if they had good intentions, even if Qian Chen did not want to kill them

, they will also die because of Qian Chen.

When Buddha saw this scene in the past, he felt compassion and sat under the Bodhi tree, thinking about how to truly solve the root cause of the problem.

In the end, I gained nothing, but because of my bodhicitta, I decided not to create any karma or harm anyone.

Qian Chen is naturally magnanimous. He can kill one person and save tens of thousands of people, so I will go.

But the patriarch of the past was unwilling to kill one person for the sake of tens of thousands of people, because in his opinion, karma was not important. Karma caused karma, and the number of karma was endless. Therefore, he made various vows out of bodhicitta to let everyone

All karma is imposed on 'me'.

That is, if the body receives all kinds of karma but does not create karma, the karma in heaven and earth will be cut off from him.

This is the bodhicitta.

Qian Chen understood the idea of ​​compassion, but was not prepared to practice it at all.

Because this is completely contrary to his nature. The so-called circulation of karma, the retribution of good and evil, and the harm to others by his own thoughts and actions are all natural.

The Buddha contemplates all karma and develops bodhicitta. He gives up all his verbal and verbal karma without harming anyone or harming even one mind. This is indeed an act of boundless compassion.

But did Buddha save all sentient beings?

Isn’t it now that all karma is turning around, and greed, delusion, and anger have flooded all heavens and worlds?

"The path of cause and effect is indeed infinitely mysterious." The Bodhi tree continued: "Because the three thoughts of greed, delusion, and anger are the easiest to create karma and harm others, the Buddha abstained from sex and practiced asceticism, minimizing his own needs and gradually becoming like a diamond.

, no longer covet external things. And because in life, the consequences of various words and deeds are often unpredictable, so the Buddha stopped talking and focused on practicing hard."

"Do you want to cultivate the trees and grass into rocks?" Qian Chen disagreed: "The grass and trees and rocks will not hurt others!"

"Until... the Buddha became a monk and practiced hard work, and his country was destroyed by foreigners. The tragic events were countless. At this time, the Buddha no longer suffered karma due to various hard work, and developed his own supernatural powers. When he wanted to hurt others, he used his own

The heart replaces it, so it has the insight of other minds. Every move it makes does not harm an ant. It desires to observe all causes and conditions and does not harm any life, so it has the insight of heaven..."

"Many magical powers are not achieved through cultivation, but are generated by one's mind to be wary of fear and keep good thoughts in mind."

"At this time, facing the fall of our motherland, seeing the suffering of wives and children in the country, and the death of parents, all the good men and women who have always given alms because of the Buddha's kind thoughts are suffering. But because of the great vows made at the beginning of practice, despite having endless supernatural powers,

Can’t be saved.”

"What he feels in his heart, the men and women of the enemy country also feel the same way."

"As seen by the heavenly eye, all kinds of evil roots are not without causes."

"With bodhicitta, even if you can't bear it, you can't do it. Even if you save it with supernatural powers, you can already see that the good and evil deeds are endless, and it is so difficult not to harm others. Even if you practice Tao and Fruition and have supreme Dharma power, you can't do it."

"What should I do if I am the donor of money?" Bodhi Spirit Gen asked.

Qian Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "But my sword is bad?"

Shaking your head slowly when you are enlightened, and not imposing your own ideas on Qian Chen, this is also a kind of karma.

If Qian Chen cannot truly understand the compassion of the Buddha from the bottom of his heart, then even if he talks nonsense, it will only create karma.

The Great Heavenly Demon Monument chuckled and said: "It can be seen that Bodhicitta is the most useless thing in the world. Even if you have infinite magical powers, you can't do anything. Doesn't that mean you owe infinite magical powers?"

"Because of endless supernatural powers, supreme magic power, plus compassion is equal to..." The Great Heavenly Demon Monument clapped his hands: "It is equal to nothing!"

Qian Chen did not laugh, but looked at the root of Bodhi Spirit and said: "Great wisdom arises from great compassion, great wishes are made from great wisdom, and great deeds are made from great wishes. Bodhicitta sprouts, and all kinds of supernatural powers come naturally. Because of these magical powers,

It’s not to induce bad karma, but to cultivate yourself.”

"Da Xing?" Tianmo Monument sneered: "Doing nothing means Da Xing?"

"With the Buddha's magical power, even if your heart is hurting and your great wishes are almost broken, isn't it a great deed not to hurt others?" Twelve-grade Golden Lotus said in a stern tone.

Bodhi Spirit Root did not want to answer at all, but looked at Qian Chen and said: "The donor also has a heart of compassion. Bodhicitta is not in me or the Buddha, but is originally in the hearts of all living beings. The so-called magical power is just to fulfill karma.

Things that come from here. Compassion, wisdom, willingness, and action are the great road. Magical power is the karmic obstacle. When karmic obstacles come, they will not hinder the great road in the heart because of their existence. When the karmic obstacles go away, they will not be used to destroy the great road!"

"I say, give bodhicitta to fellow Taoists! It's because when fellow Taoists practice this mind, one should respond to the One, and the thoughts of the Supreme are nothing more than magical powers."

"There are all kinds of demons on the outside, but you can't move."

Bodhi Spirit Root closed his eyes after speaking.

However, Qian Chen looked moved. If he really had the heart of the Buddha of the past, naturally the Supreme Being would not be able to move it. He could just treat them as foreign objects and the supreme supernatural power of the Buddha of the past.

The Great Sky Demon Monument looked at Qian Chen nervously, nothing else mattered, but if Taiyi Demon Ancestor was persuaded to become a Buddha.

His Jiuyou Demon Dao’s face has been completely disgraced!

"The so-called practice of bodhicitta, I chopped off the original Buddha with a knife, any practice is nonsense!"

Bodhi Spirit Root said calmly: "Even if you have evil thoughts in your heart, they are caused by evil roots, but they are also karma. Do you know that the Buddha's great vow is difficult? In the past, when I saw the Buddha practicing, I don't know how many people were affected by the evil roots in their hearts.

, it is precisely because the Buddha, during his practice, sensed that someone died because of him and created the karma of killing, that he developed the ability to sense his mind. Then, after all the hard work, he inspired everyone's murderous intention, and also attracted the evil karma of killing to himself.
