Chapter forty-eight

After the old man of the Li family died of anger, his spiritual consciousness gradually escaped from his physical body. Three days have passed. He is still in a state of drowsiness and trance. He himself has no idea that he is dead.

Qing Li and Lu Li came to the funeral home and told the relatives of the Li family to offer sacrifices to Mr. Li and began to mourn.

In the hall, Mr. Li's bardo body saw his descendants busy putting on funeral clothes, washing perfume, lighting spirit lamps, setting up incense burners, surrounding rice jars, moving spirits to the hall, bringing filial piety, and burning foot tail paper, only then did he realize that he and his relatives and friends had become a different life.

Just as he was sad that yin and yang were separated, a strong wind had formed in the karma, which suddenly blew up, and the old man's bardo body could only be at his mercy, and then many yakshas appeared to chase and bite him.

A powerful flame outside the house accompanied by a loud thunder and lightning, which made the old man both nervous and nervous, and was extremely frightened.

"Qingli, look at your appearance and seem to see Mr. Li. How is he now?" Lu Li asked in Qingli's ear in a low voice. He knew that Qingli could have access to the Three Realms since he was a child.

"What Mr. Li did, thoughts and thoughts during his lifetime have affected today. The scenes that are present today symbolize his habits in his previous life. The storm represents greed and the strong wind represents anger. He is now experiencing all kinds of sufferings! All beings are so hard!" Qing Li felt compassion for Mr. Li, and curled up and helped Mr. Li drive all the Yasha out. Mr. Li was trembling in the corner.

"It's a heavy rain and a strong wind. Will the old man bear it? Will his soul be damaged?" Lu Li was a little worried.

"The bardo body is not a body of flesh and blood, but a body of the meager combination of the four elements. Its essence is also empty, so how can it be damaged?

This situation is all caused by the karma of the deceased. Doing good deeds during his lifetime will lead to a state of happiness; doing evil in his lifetime will lead to a state of suffering." Qingli explained.

"Then how can we help Mr. Li now?" Lu Li asked again.

"In the seventh period after Mr. Li died, I need to ask my master, Master Guo, to do some Buddhist rituals for him, so that the deceased can be reborn in a better place. We advocate that the best way to save the undead is in the seventh period.

If the category of the undead's rebirth has been decided after the seventy-seventh period, and doing Buddhist rituals can only increase his blessings, but cannot change the category of the rebirth."

"When you see the scene that Mr. Li is present today, do you think he will be reborn in the six realms or yearn for the Western Paradise?" Lu Li was curious.

"If a person does a lot of evil during his lifetime, he is destined to be born in the next life. When he dies, if a filial relative and friend does a great Buddhist ritual for him, he will hear the monks recite scriptures, repent and make good intentions, he will be exempted from being an animal and be reborn as a human being. If he does not do Buddhist rituals, karma will entangle him and prevent him from being reborn. Even if he can be reborn, he will be born in the animal.

If he did not do much evil during his lifetime and did Buddhist affairs for him now, so that he could let go of his attachments, establish his intentions for goodness, and yearn for the Western Paradise, he would be guided by the Buddha.

Judging from the past of Mr. Li, he has done many things that hurt creatures. All we can do is to do Buddhist rituals for him. When the five Buddhist realms alternately emit dazzling and brilliant blue light, the pure white light, yellow light, red treasure flame wonderful light and strong green light, it is when he decides to be reborn." Qing Li analyzed the judgment one by one to Lu Li.

"Qingli, what do you mean, Mr. Li can only rely on the sacred power to avoid entering hell in the six realms and continue to reincarnate. His karma is too deep and he needs to continue practicing in the human world and cannot be reborn in the Western Paradise?" Lu Li understood as soon as he heard it.

"Yes, people are following the cause of karma in their lifetime. What causes and results are planted? What we practitioners can do is to let more sentient beings wake up from this obsessive karma. Awareness is Buddha, and Buddha is awakening. Once awakening, they will let go and will naturally become empty." These words that Qingli said were exactly what she realized during this period.

"Sister Qingli, don't you just mentioned the six lights, can you tell me what the paths are? Where are the sentient beings in the six realms always going?" Lu Li quickly asked Qingli.

"When the bardo body is reincarnated, the inferior light of the six ordinary paths also suddenly appears, the slight white light of the heavenly path, the light yellow light of the human path, the light green light of the Asura path, the black smoke of the hell path, the light red light of the hungry ghost path, and the light blue light of the animal path. Because of its softness and dimness, what way should the bardo karma be sensed? The light of the other path becomes more obvious, and then is born in that, which is the light of the parents who commit sexual intercourse in the next life.

Whether it is a human or an animal, the Shurangama Sutra says: If the lustful mind is not removed, dust cannot be released.

Therefore, sentient beings cannot be liberated by reincarnation and death, because lust is firmly tied to each other." Qing Li explained the whole situation clearly.

"I have learned a lot today and learned the whole content of Lingdu. Thank you Sister Qingli." Lu Li admired Qingli a little.

"We have prepared all the matters of setting up a sacrifice for the Li family. I have just told the master the whole story here. During this period, he will come to do Buddhist rituals until Mr. Li is in funeral. Now that my work has been completed, you can directly contact me if you have anything to do. Lu Li will meet you tomorrow!" Qing Li took off the burden and relaxed.

"Thank you Sister Qingli for helping us with the turbid refining meeting. When I mention the turbid refining meeting, my grandfather wants to see you. You can arrange the time. I will take you to see my grandfather another day?" Lu Li struck while the iron was hot.

"That's natural. I have promised you a long time ago, and I will explain to your grandfather about Mu Lingzhu. Don't worry, we will visit your grandfather in a few days." Qingli naturally agreed to Lu Li's request.

"Sister Qingli, I'll take you back. I've explained all the matters about Mr. Li here. I'll take you home in person." Seeing that the matter was resolved, Lu Li happily pulled Qingli away from the funeral home and went to drive. He didn't want to stay in this cold funeral home for an extra minute.

"Sister Qingli, I heard you talk about so much about the bardo body just now. I want to know what will happen if the bardo body cannot be reincarnated as a human or animal realm?" Lu Li drove away from the funeral home.

There is a custom of "hiding the dead soul" among the people. Do you know that if you have been dead for three or five years, you can still be exposed, which means that this person has fallen into the ghost realm.

Because the life span of the bardo body is up to forty-nine days, those who fail to reincarnate during this period will become ghosts. It is extremely difficult to pass away the ghost realm because it already belongs to another realm. Since it has formed a fixed life form, it is difficult to convert from this mode to another mode.

In fact, we humans say that if we want to correct our original source, we should prepare early on weekdays, be diligent and do good deeds, and don’t wait until we pass away and do it by our descendants. The benefits we gain are far from each other.” Qing Li sat in Lu Li’s co-pilot and remained silent for a long time before answering Lu Li.

"Sister Qingli, I think you have changed, and you have become a little merciful." Qingli also thought silently when he heard Lu Li's words. Indeed, he learned a lot during this period!
