Causation and reincarnation can be viewed separately: Because I moved a stone and hit my foot, I felt my foot hurt. This is cause and effect. I kept lifting stones and hitting my feet. If my feet hurt, I would continue to move stones and hit them. This is reincarnation. In order to remind people to abandon evil and pursue good, when cause and effect and reincarnation are brought up, they often involve concepts such as life and death, past, present, and future lives. In fact, it’s not that complicated, it’s just part of daily life.

Of course, I do not deny that things such as karma, debts owed, etc. can be carried into the next life. But Buddhism emphasizes empirical evidence. To be honest, I have not personally experienced it. When I encounter something that I can neither affirm nor deny, I will hold an open attitude, and then hold a:

"Based on the existing information, that is, based on the known Under the conditions, make the most appropriate decision."

Facing things with this kind of mentality. For example, some people say that the winter solstice in 2012 will be the end of the world. I don’t know whether it is true or false, so I will not reject it immediately or accept it immediately. Instead, I think about it with an attitude of "I would rather believe it than believe it." The following question:

"If it is the end of the world, if I do this now, what will happen then; if it is not the end of the world, if I do this now, what will happen then."

If When I am asked to make a decision that is tilted to one side in real life, I will think about the following question:

“If there is no end, and I act as if there is an end, what will my cost and price be? What is it? And if there is a doomsday, and I act as if there is no doomsday, what will be my cost and price?"

Then what I do is similar to management. An account of the cost budget, and often, the final result I get will be:

"If what the Buddha said is true and I do things as if it is false, the cost and price will be compared "High; if what the Buddha said is false and I act as if it is true, the cost and price will be relatively low."

One word, Zen Buddhism does not advocate showing off any feelings or visions. , because they are all phases, and one phase cannot represent a thing itself, but different things may have the same phase, so identifying things based on their phases may cause deviations. Moreover, a great sage once said: "The achievement of a person is the achievement of the Buddha." So we can use the simplest and simplest concept of justice to judge the problem. Like Mr. Kazuo Inamori of Japan, he relies on this With this simple view of justice, he became the only person in history who personally established and led two companies to become Fortune 500 companies, and recently saved the third Fortune 500 company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. Having said that, it is like Japan's Mount Fuji. It looks beautiful from a distance, but up close it just looks like a pile of rocks, which is unsightly. Therefore, no matter how many shortcomings a person has, if he is a good person with a simple concept of justice, it will be enough to gain a foothold in the world, and he will be worthy of the title of "human being" who is called the three talents together with heaven and earth. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be human.
