"A family that accumulates good deeds will have a surplus of blessings.

"Accumulation of good family will have a surplus of celebration, accumulation of evil family will have a surplus of disaster" said karma, good reward, evil, not unrewarded, the time has not yet come, not to mention a variety of realities of retribution, the good people to do good, peace of mind that is the good reward, the evil people for the evil, the reason can not be disturbed by the heart is the evil reward.

"The law of conservation of energy" we have learned it, can be said to be a law of nature, energy can be transformed or transferred, but the process of its total amount of unchanged, simply put, "give is the beginning of the beginning of the gain, the gain is the beginning of the loss of", for example, you Dedication of their own money and physical strength, time and energy to help others, so that others through the difficult times, then according to the law of conservation, in your time of trouble, there will be nobles to help you, you scold others, there will always be others scolded you, their own trickery, will also get fooled by retribution, in fact, this is the cause and effect.

In fact, in the middle and the back of cause and effect, each has a word called karma. Cause, like the seed of a thing, has the ability to grow into a tree or a flower. But if you put the tree in the middle of the desert and there is no water, the seed will not germinate The seed is the cause, and the external sunlight, air, water, etc. are the karma for the seed to germinate. When we study Buddhism, although it is difficult to change the cause and effect, we can change the cause, so that the cause will not mature, and the result will not be realized. This is a shortcut to change destiny.

For example, if people do bad things, such as stealing, killing, not filial piety to parents, abortion, etc., and plant the seeds of evil, if they do not reflect on their own behavior when repenting their faults, and continue to be obsessed with, then this bad karma will present itself, and this present life is not a good one, and will go to the three evil paths after death.

Then again, if karma is predestined there is no change? If that's the case, what's the point of Buddhism being out in the world? Buddhism is the Dharma that allows you to positively change your destiny, that boosts your energy, that allows you to attain enlightenment and realization. Buddhism does not tell you that your destiny is fixed, and that it is the same from birth to death. Buddhism respects destiny, because destiny is the cause you created in a previous life, and the fruit that manifests and matures in this life.

Why is it that when someone learns Buddhism, they don't change much? On the contrary, why do people do evil things and have no great retribution? Is the Buddha's teaching wrong? Listen to me slowly.

A person's life is like a parabola, when you do great good and great evil, only then will there be change. It's the big changes that fill up the original pit to become smooth. If it is a small good or small evil, the change to the original trajectory is smaller. For example, if you were supposed to lose 1 million dollars, because you did good deeds to change your fortune, the final loss becomes 980,000 dollars, the loss is reduced by 20,000 dollars, but among the overall 1 million dollars, it feels like little change to you. Some people are destined to have 1 million or 10 million dollars, because he did less evil, then he 1 million, 10 million may end up being turned into 900,000, 5 million. If it is those people who have too much blessing in their past lives, although they have done evil in this life, because they have too much blessing in their past lives, for example, they have 10 billion dollars, and they have done a lot of evil in this life, even big evil, and they have lost 9 billion dollars, and they still have 1 billion dollars in assets.

So don't compare with others, to compare with themselves, they do more good is, you can also look at the "Old Song Story" in the story of karma, a lot of "accumulation of good family will have more celebration, accumulation of bad family will have more disaster" real cases, in order to live a good life, why not do more good virtue it?
