We humans have a natural inclination to turn to unknown gods in our bones. Astrology, which is popular in Western society, and fortune-telling and divination in the Eastern world, have endured for a long time, and there are many sects.
Why is ** still popular?In fact, this question can be returned to two levels of specific problems, namely before and after death.
Before birth, refers to before birth. After death, it means after death. For each of us, what we can understand and grasp to a certain extent is only the period of life we are living, not including the time before and after death.
For most people, they are involuntary in life, and they are also in death. Only a great practitioner who is liberated from the cross-currents of life and death has the ability to "come and go when he wants." After the old monk of the contemporary Dade Huitong was destroyed, the old monk Delin personally wrote the elegiac couplet:
Parting today, he recounted his old acquaintances.
Line after line, line after line, cherish repeat cherish.
If you go, you will go with fate, and if you come, you will come by wish.
Leaving today, he will recount it again in the next year. It is undoubtedly the empirical evidence of the above realm. In the world of practitioners, death is nothing more than "going and coming."
The unmastery of life and death, especially after death, determines our human awe of the unknown. In fact, not only do we have no control over the state after death, but we also have no control over the next day or hour that has not yet come. There is a saying that who will come first in the unexpected and tomorrow, who knows.
Some people really know who came first. For example, the Great Cultivators. About 10 years ago, a friend and I set out from Xiamen to Beijing to meet an old monk and witnessed many incredible things. The world's fortune telling needs to be based on the four pillars and eight characters, and the old monk does not need years, months and days to break the sky. Calling for wind and rain has always only appeared in TV movies or myths, and I was fortunate enough to witness it with my own eyes.
Of course, the master who is proficient in the best can also know who will come first - the so-called life and death. Mr. Ni Haixia's assertion that he had a great calamity at the age of 59 is exemplified by Lin Gengbai's estimation that he will not live to be 45 years old. People have a thousand calculations, and the sky is only one. It is not necessary to count too much, but more importantly, it is necessary to understand that if you do good deeds diligently, God will not fail others.
