9. Cause and effect
If in the past life or in this present life one did not live virtuously, and though one's parents may be very highly-educated. one will not be blessed with virtuous children. Instead, unfortunate and sickly children will be born to one, resulting in future unease and suffering.
The reason why one is easily frightened in this life is because in one's past life, one had always used scary objects to threaten people.
Question: At the marketplace we can see, chickens and fish for us to eat; They are killed for the money they create. "Poor souls! So pity!", we helplessly said. You wished to help, "BUT HOW CAN I?" Just don't hurry, look into your mind.
Answer: A Dharma-door here you can use To help in the rebirth of those slain; Stand aside and just recite A sutra, or Mantra or the Holy Names. Then transfer the merits that accrue from the chanting that you've done to the dead with heart pure and true Such repentance benefits everyone.
We have got to understand the need to protect our body. not to hurt others nor to speak harshly. When hatred arises in us, it will increase afflictions which will lead to bodily and mental unease.
If in the past life or in this present life one has lived virtuously, committing no evil. one's coming generation will be blessed with virtuous children. Even if the parents of such children are uneducated, the children will be endowed with intelligence and graduate with flying colors.
