Short-lived ghost
Agudengba chatted with Chu Sanxing about
the debt collectors. Chu Sanxing said: "There was a black-hearted small
businessman who did too many evil things in his previous life. He once raped
and killed a girl. The girl who was killed was reincarnated to take revenge. He
went to his house and became the son of a small trader. Although he took
revenge, the reincarnated debt collector died in less than three years. Why do
the lifespans of debt collector ghosts are so short? "
Agudenba said:
There is an explanation in "Agama's
Oral Interpretation of the Twelve Causes and Conditions Sutra". Buddhism
believes that “children are born for three reasons: first, the parents owed
money to the child in the previous life; second, the child owed money to the
parents in the previous life; third, the child was born due to resentment from
the family.”
Whenever a child dies young after only
living for a hundred or a thousand days, it means that the child is here to collect
unpaid debts from previous lives. Such children who died young are commonly
known as "debt collectors" and are mainly used to curse bad people or
villains seeking wealth.
Because debt collectors are children who
died young, debt collectors are also called short-lived ghosts.
Chu Sanxing asked:
People in the world call short-lived people
short-lived ghosts. But there are countless people all over the world whose
lives are short-lived in one day. How could there be so many short-lived ghosts
in the past life? Can these short-lived ghosts take revenge as scheduled or pay
off their debts?
How could he be saved by those arrogant
people in his previous life? "
Agudenba said:
You must know that life and death are like
wheels, the cycle of cause and effect is like the sand of the Ganges, and the
accumulated amount is immeasurable. Like clouds in space, the shapes change
incredibly. It’s really hard to stick to one format. But it is estimated that
in most cases, grievances and crimes are intertwined, and most of them are
caused by property.
In a person's life, there are people who
are determined to do this. Looking at the whole world to make money, there is
only this number. If you gain, you lose. Greed for money is born, and grudges
and resentments will also arise at the same time. Judging from the number of
profit seekers, there are many takers. In fact, resentment is very harmful to
people! However, people would rather believe in its existence, because it can
make people think deeply, and there will be retribution due to cause and
effect.
Agudengba sang a song called
"Retributions of Good and Evil":
Why
is everything in the world so noisy?
They
all flock here for profit;
Why
is there constant chaos in the world?
They
are all competing for your benefit.
Resources
are always limited in life.
No
one failed to notice this.
There
is only so much wealth,
If
you don't get it, you'll lose it.
What
do you get here,
What
loss will be suffered.
Wisdom
will be born from here,
Grudges
will also be formed from this.
The
retributions of good and evil karma last for three lives;
Those
who pursue interests,
There
are also debt collectors.
Debt
collection by short-lived ghosts is terrible.
