Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Deep Belief in Cause and Effect
深信因果
If a person follows the Buddha’s teachings and accumulates virtues and great good karma, he generally anticipates going to a good place, such as heaven. Thus, the realm of heaven appears in his mind. If he is an evil person, he will see the phenomena of hells first, before his last breath.
If an Amitabha-reciter wishes to be reborn in Amitabha’s Pure Land, and exclusively recites Amitabha’s Name, he will generally see the splendid scenes of the Land of Bliss, such as: lotus flowers, golden ponds, and pagodas before his last breath. It is a natural manifestation of his karmic reward.
一個人如果平常行善積德,甚至有重大的善業,往往在他臨終的時候,他要去的好地方,譬如說天堂,天堂的境界就會先顯現出來;如果是一個做惡多端的人,雖然他還沒有斷氣,往往也會先看到地獄的景象。
那如果是一個「願生彌陀淨土,專稱彌陀佛名」的念佛人,往往也會在他臨終,將斷氣還沒有斷氣的時候,極樂世界莊嚴的景象,譬如說蓮花、金地、樓閣,就會先看到,這是一種自自然然的果報顯現。
Namo Amituofo!
