About 佛教因果故事2(L048 中華印經協會.台灣生命電視台)
《百業經》顧名思義指的是至少有百則關於業力的經典,主要記載眾生現世事跡與過去生相關涉及的因緣業果。內容的起頭,一般是藉由佛世時眾生的一生遭遇,或出生富貴,或長相醜陋,或不如法,或得道證果,種種眾生相的差異,透過佛弟子請示釋迦牟尼佛,因而了知該眾生何以會有此業果的過去生因緣,鮮明傳達出「縱經百千劫,所作業不亡,因緣會遇時,果報還自受」的因緣果報法則。
本選集中所牽涉到的眾生,約可分為二類,第一類眾生雖生在佛世,卻無緣修學佛法,或已學佛但還未解脫者,前者以仍在地獄、惡鬼道受苦眾生為主,後者有國王、比丘、比丘尼、王妃等;第二類眾生則是已獲得解脫,或蒙佛陀授記,這類眾生僅限於人、天,含括國王、死刑犯、大臣、小孩、首陀羅人、天子圪各種身份。另外,亦有多篇涉及佛陀過去生中行菩薩道的事蹟。
當閱讀到第一類眾生的業跡時,不妨注意一下,他們生在佛世,又幸運地蒙世尊以他們為例,說明其前世業因,渡化眾生,為什麼他們無法修學佛法乃至解脫?最主要的原因是什麼?若已了知地獄、惡鬼道的眾生,在其惡業未消盡以前,是無暇修學佛法,如此可再尋求他們墮入惡道的緣由,以及何時可脫離惡道,何時可達解脫證果。經過這樣的探求之後,相信不用他人多說,也會明白何以要避免墮入惡道。
至於第二類眾生則是無論何種身份,遭逢何種順逆境,皆有機會遇佛聞法,修行得解脫,可想想為什麼他們有這樣的善或惡的因緣?最重要的因素是什麼?如此,必得留心他們過去生中,曾造下什麼樣的業緣,或發過何種善願,促使他們生逢佛世,不管出生富貴或貧賤,即使在惡業未完全消盡之下,仍能在世尊面前,或親聞佛法,或出家,乃至解脫生死。
透過對這些眾生過去因緣的了解,見賢思齊,見不賢內自省,可抉擇出適當的行為準則,尤其要避免造下墮入惡道的業因。佛世時的惡道眾生,無緣學佛,是我們最好的警惕。除了消極不再造惡業外,更需積極累積善業資糧,行持六度,這樣就算我們遭遇過去生所造下的惡因成熟時,也能以此積善修行功力平等心面對,隨緣消舊業,至少確保承受惡業的當下,不會再造新殃。那麼當未來佛出現世間時,我們就有把握以人身遇佛得度。 "Hundred already" by definition means that you have at least a hundred classic about karma, earthly beings major record deeds associated with past students involved karma karma. Start of content, usually by the Buddha when the world suffered a lifetime of living beings, or born rich, or ugly, or not as good as law, or enlightenment certificate fruit, phase differences in the various beings, referrals through the disciples of the Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha, so the The creatures will know why this karma karma of past students, clearly convey the "vertical through 百千劫, the job does not die, when karma will encounter, but also self-retribution by" the law of karma retribution.
This anthology beings are involved, some can be divided into two categories, the first category, although born in the Buddha world beings, but missed the Dharma, or Buddhist, but who has not been freed, the former is still hell, evil Road mainly suffering beings, which has the King, monks, nuns, Princess etc; second class beings is already obtain relief granted or Mongolian Buddha mind, these are limited to human beings, day, encompasses the king, death row, ministers, children , Sudras who emperor ge in various capacities. In addition, there are many articles related to past students BOC Bodhisattva Buddha deeds.
When reading the first class beings deeds, might note, they are born in the world of Buddha, the Buddha also lucky enough to mask them to illustrate their industry because of past life, crossing of beings, why they can not even escape Dharma ? What is the main reason? Ruoyi the hell knows, evil beings Road, disappeared in bad karma to do before it is too busy to practice Dharma, so they can then look for reasons to fall into evil ways, and when they can be out of the evil way, when freed up Certificate results. After this quest, I believe I need to say to others, will understand why you want to avoid falling into evil ways.
As for the identity of all beings is no matter what, the aftermath of which shun adversity, there are opportunities to hear Yufo law practice to be free, to think about why they have such good or evil karma? What is the most important factor is that? So, they must pay attention to students in the past have been made under what kind of karmic, or send over what good will, prompting them to Buddha born into the world, whether rich or poor and lowly born, even in bad karma do not completely disappear under, still in front of the Buddha, the Dharma, or the pro-smelling, or monks, and even escape death.
Through knowledge of these beings past karma, emulate, see inside introspection is not virtuous, can choose an appropriate code of conduct, in particular, to avoid falling into evil ways because of manufacturing industry in the next. Buddha beings evil way when the world, missed the Buddhist, is our best guard. In addition to committing evil industry is no longer passive, but also need to actively accumulate good karma MERITS, hold the line six times, so even if we have suffered in the past under the evil creatures born due at maturity, but also in order to practice the skill of equanimity charitable face, revel Consumers old industry, at least make sure that the current bear bad karma, and will not re-new calamity. Then when the next Buddha appears the world, we have to grasp in order to obtain personal Yufo degrees.
