Preface to Anthology of Buddhist Stories
Are there any ghosts in this world? Will people become ghosts after death? I believe this is a question that many people are very curious about.
Apart from the humanity and the animal world, there are indeed beings in the ghost realm in this world. They live in the same world as ours, but there are different spaces. The Buddha said in the "Chang Agama Sutra": "All people live in houses and houses, and there are ghosts and gods, and there are no people who are free; in all the streets, alleys, four avenues, Tu'er markets, and hills, there are ghosts. , God, no one is available." They have been by our side, but we don't know it.
In fact, the reason for the reincarnation of the ghost is because the previous life has done too many bad karma, and the heart is stingy and greedy. Once reincarnated in the ghost realm, it is to accept the bitter fruit, and there is no chance to enjoy it. Although some ghosts can also enjoy human and heavenly blessings, most of them can only accept evil rewards, and these evil rewards are also suffering from hunger, thirst, and lack of giving, so they are also called "hungry ghosts." Because the good and evil karma created in the previous life are different, the results received in the ghost way will also be different. This phenomenon is just like the human world.
In the face of these beings who are suffering because of retribution, we should not despise them but should show compassion to them and help them. In terms of methods, in addition to chanting and reciting the Buddha, you can further participate in Buddhist rituals related to feeding and salvation, so that the ghosts and beings can receive merits and benefits. However, these ghostly beings will receive different results, all due to the different karma of past lives. From this point of view, we should always reflect on ourselves and encourage ourselves, and prevent ourselves from drifting along with our karma and planting evil causes; at the same time, we should actively donate, plant a lot of good fortune, and cherish the opportunity to live in the world, and be able to listen to the opportunity to practice Buddhism.
In recent years, television has become popular for supernatural programs. In order to obtain ratings, production units have often used exaggerated, false, horrifying and paradoxical performances to make people feel trembling and fearful of ghosts and creatures. Watching these shows is just to satisfy curiosity, and cannot help people truly understand the world of ghosts.
Today's Printing Association publishes an anthology of Buddhist scripture stories in circulation-Stories about ghosts and beings. It is divided into two volumes, one is India and the other is China. I hope that this book can benefit society, correct worldly wrong concepts, treat sentient beings in other worlds with compassion, and then realize the value of being a human being, and improve one's life level to benefit the world.
