Pig without tail
Wu Baigui, an old man who was once a wealthy
man, told Agudenba, Dawa, Chu Sanxing, and Xiang Qima that he was responsible
for killing a black dog. The black dog later reincarnated and became his son.
This son was actually a debt collector. As a result, the fate between father
and son was over.
Agudengba told him the "Essay on Cause
and Effect in Three Lifetimes": Why did he not pay back the money he owed
in the previous life because of the cattle and horses in this life? There are
many recorded cases in history of people who owed debts but did not repay them
and were reincarnated as animals to pay back their debts.
The old man Wu Baigui nodded: In real life,
there are indeed such true stories. In addition to my personal experience,
there is an old man Xu in our village who used to be my housekeeper, and he
also had such an experience.
A man named Wen Ming has not yet married a
wife at the age of forty. He borrowed 300 yuan from Old Man Xu and promised to
pay it back that year. Unexpectedly, he fell ill and became even more
impoverished. It took him three years to pay back the money. In the winter of
that year, Wen Ming's health became worse and worse. He felt that his death was
approaching, but he was worried about the money he owed.
So Wen Ming sadly said to Old Man Xu:
"Uncle Xu, I lent you three hundred
yuan, but it seems I won't be able to pay it back in this life. After my death,
I was reincarnated as a pig without a tail and came to your house to pay off
your debt."
Old man Xu saw that he was critically ill
but still didn't forget to pay back the money. He was very moved and said to
him: "Don't take the three hundred yuan seriously, let alone spend your
next life as a pig to pay back the money. This will be a big loss." My
dear, take good care of your health and don’t think too much.”
Not long after, Wen Ming died of illness
and the money was not paid back.
The next spring, the old sow raised by Old
Man Xu gave birth to seven piglets. The smallest piglet was born without a
tail.
Because the little pig had no tail, it
couldn't be sold, so Old Man Xu had to keep it himself.
One afternoon, old man Xu had nothing to do
and watched the little pig without a tail eating. He suddenly remembered what
Zhang Ming said. Could it be that this tailless pig was really Zhang Ming's
reincarnation to pay off his debt?
So I wanted to try it out and shouted,
"Wen Ming, come here."
After hearing this, the pig without a tail
seemed to understand. He ran up to Old Man Xu and nudged Old Man Zhang with his
pig's nose.
Old man Xu felt very surprised, but when he
saw the pig's sensible appearance, he understood and suddenly became sad.
As he stroked the pig, he said:
"Wen Ming, I told you not to take the
three hundred yuan seriously, and I told you not to be a pig and come to my
house to pay off the debt. Why didn't you listen? It makes me feel bad when you
do this. Go ahead and pay the debt. ”
After hearing what Old Man Xu said, the
tailless pig obediently returned to the pig shed and continued eating.
Strangely, the pig was not sick but died the next morning.
The old man Wu Baigui sighed to Agudengba,
Dawa, Chu Sanxing and Xiang Qima:
Many old people who owe debts and refuse to
repay them think that as long as they persist in paying off their debts, they
can really get away with it. In fact, even if the creditor doesn't want it, the
karma cannot be ignored. I killed a black dog in vain, and the black dog was
reincarnated as my son. He turned out to be a debt collector, turning me from a
rich man to a poor man. Wen Ming owed money to Old Man Xu and was unable to
repay the debt due to poverty and illness, so he volunteered to be reincarnated
as a pig as a reward for Old Man Xu. I have become a book addict now. I soak in
books all day long, looking for insights from books. From reading, I feel that
as a person, you should never go into debt. Failure to repay debt will always
lead to an ominous outcome. From reading, I gained a profound understanding of
life.
The old man Wu Baigui sang a folk song
"Out of Confusion":
People
will be confused if they don’t read.
The
spirit cannot be nourished,
Thinking
will gradually become rigid.
People
who develop reading habits,
Picking
up a book will free you,
It
is the way to overcome confusion.
Books
bring knowledge and experience,
It’s
more about self-awareness,
To
keep thinking.
Read
more when you are confused.
Wipe
away the dust from my heart,
It
is the process of infusing light.
