Are life and death and fate predestined?

Most of the ancients believed in the phrase "life is destined", but today people don't think so. They think it is superstition and can't be confirmed by science. However, the development of science has its considerable limitations after all. How many mysteries are there in the vast universe that human science cannot understand? Therefore, we must not let people be hindered by science from understanding the truth of the universe and miss the long-awaited opportunity.

So is it true that the ancients said that "life and death have life, wealth is in the sky"? Let's listen to the following story. As for the conclusion, you have to make up your own mind.

Wang Wei, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, once said to people, "The experience of life is related to your destiny, and your destiny has already been decided, so it is either good or bad, and it is doomed when you come." In the past, Wu Zetian slaughtered the emperor's clan, and the eldest son was sent to Dali Temple for trial and should be put to death. The eldest son sighed,' Since I am doomed to die, why should I pollute the knife and saw!' In the middle of the night, he hanged himself by the collar of his clothes, woke up at dawn, talked and laughed, and immediately ate and drank, just like at home. He was killed a few days later, and his face didn't change at all. It turned out that he just woke up and said,' I just died, and the officials of hades were very angry and said to me,' You should be killed. Why did you come? Go back and be punished! Zongzi asked why? The ghost official showed him the life and death book and said,' Because you killed someone in your last life, you have to pay it back now'. Zongzi knows what is going on, and she is no longer afraid when she is tortured, so she can still look a little reluctant. "This story tells us that people come into this world, when they are born and buried, they are all predestined. The karma of past lives, the karma of this life, doing good deeds and doing evil deeds, has no reward.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Baozi had a long history. He often returned to Liyang after serving in the imperial court. Once he met a young hunter on the road, cutting fresh meat for a picnic. Zhang Bao leaned against the tree and sighed, "I am seventy years old and have never eaten wine and meat like this." Too sad. " A monk pointed to him and said, "In 60 days, the official position will be promoted to the third class. What is there to sigh about? " Then he disappeared. The treasure is strange. Go back to Beijing immediately.

At this time, Taizong was suffering from dysentery, and many doctors failed to cure him. I sent a letter to visit the ministers in the temple. Whoever can cure this disease will be rewarded. At that time, Bao had been troubled by this disease, so he wrote a prescription and gave it with milk. The emperor was cured immediately after taking the medicine. In a letter to the Prime Minister, Zhang Baozi was awarded five titles. Wei Zhi deliberately embarrassed, after more than a month also don't want to give officer. The emperor's illness broke out again and asked his left and right officials, "I used to take medicine fried with milk, which was very effective." So he ordered the medicine to be presented, and he was cured after eating it.

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "I once ordered the Jin people to be given five official titles, but I haven't been promoted to official titles yet." What is the reason? " Wei Zhi was frightened: "I didn't know whether it was literature or martial arts." The emperor said angrily, "If you cure the Prime Minister, you might as well give him three official titles. I am the son of heaven, am I not as good as you? " He said sternly, "Give him three civil servants. Then awarded the official title of Hongyingqing. " It is exactly sixty days. It turns out that a person's life is doomed except life and death, even his official position and wealth are doomed. No wonder the ancients often said, "Sometimes there are some things in life, so you don't have to force them."

Cai Que, with clear pronunciation and mellow voice, is from Jinjiang, Quanzhou. When he was in office, there was a man in the county who came to a yamen in a dream. He saw that the hall was high and deep, and there were four distinguished people sitting in it, all wearing dresses painted with dragons and wearing crowns. At this time, someone pointed to him and said, "This is the throne of the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty." The man looked up and found Cai Zheng sitting in the back. The man woke up puzzled because Cai had just been promoted.

It wasn't until Cai became prime minister and was banished to Lingnan that it suddenly dawned on him that it was Cai, the fourth prime minister to be banished to the south after Lu Duoxun and Kou Zhun!

Not only that, Cai did meet a Taoist when he was young, and the Taoist made a prediction about his future. At that time, Cai did have a good friend named, both of whom were very poor. Once, they traveled together and met a Taoist priest on the road. The Taoist priest kept staring at Cai Que and said, "You look like Li Deyu." Li Deyu was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and was exiled to Hainan. Cai really thought that the Taoist priest was teasing him, so he wanted to make fun of him and asked, "Can I be a prime minister in the future?" The Taoist said, "Yes." Cai really smiled and asked, "Will I be exiled to the south like Li Deyu?" The Taoist said, "Yes." The Taoist priest told Zhang Kun next to him that when there are fifty people in his family, he can be the supervisor of A Qing, and said to Cai Que, "You will die at this time." Cai sure enough and both of them laughed, thinking that they had met a madman.
