Ｒeincarnated foal

 

The old man Wu Baigui told Agudengba, Chu Sanxing, Dawa, and Xiang Qima a story about a cowherd boy who was reincarnated as a cow to pay off debts and repay the debt to Master Tang. He then told a story about the reincarnation of a pony.

The old man Wu Baigui said:

That is a real thing that happened in Master Tang's home. Master Tang lives in my same village and is 71 years old. He is a famous ancestral traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and he is the fifth generation. After his ancestral home moved to Myanmar from China, he not only had superb medical skills, but also learned Taoist techniques, Feng Shui, and numerology for generations. He also diligently practiced Buddhism throughout his life and was very diligent in studying Buddhism.

Master Tang has six brothers and sisters, the eldest is now 91 years old. Master Tang is the eldest in the family. What is very rare is that all his brothers and sisters are still alive.

Not long ago, when I was on an outing, I stopped by Master Tang's house to make some noise. As we chatted, we talked about learning Buddhism and about cause and effect. Master Tang told me a real thing that happened in his family. It was the occurrence of this incident that made him firmly believe in the truth of cause and effect since he was a child, and he avoided many detours.

The old man Wu Baigui said:

The thing is like this, Master Tang’s father’s family is well off, because his family has been practicing medicine for generations and has no worries about food and clothing. One night, Master Tang's father had a dream. He had a clear dream that a man wearing a white bellyband came to him and said that he would pay him the three yuan he owed him. He took a closer look and saw that it was an uncle from afar. The money has not been returned for a long time. I reached out to take the money. Suddenly I thought that this person had been dead for a few years, and I suddenly woke up from my dream.

At this time, the waiter at home came and knocked on the door, saying that the old horse at home had given birth to a foal, and asked the owner to take a look.

Master Tang's father put on his clothes and went out to take a look. He saw a little pony lying there in the horse pen. It was white from belly to neck. Everyone was talking about the horse's strange appearance and the white around its neck. Mao looked like he was wearing an apron.

Master Tang's father was shocked and told the men to take good care of the horse, not to let it work, but to provide it with good grass and good food. The horse quickly gained weight under the careful care of the men, but the men were puzzled because the owner just wouldn't let it work and couldn't figure it out.

A few years later, the horse died, and Master Tang's father asked the man to take the horse out and find a place to bury it. Now the guys started talking privately, what's wrong with this boss? You don't let the horse work, and you have to bury it when it dies? So what do you do with it?

The guys were grateful that their boss was always kind to them, so a few of them secretly decided to kill the horse, skin it and sell it.

During the meal, the guys happily came to tell Master Tang’s father that the horsehide was profitable. After handing the money to the boss, Master Tang's father saw that it was no more or less, exactly three oceans.

The old man Wu Baigui said:

After experiencing this incident, Master Tang's father often told his children that cause and effect are true. Master Tang heard this incident with his own ears since he was a child, and vowed to record it. He aroused the right view of cause and effect, and hoped that all sentient beings would soon be free from suffering and achieve happiness, and be reborn in the Western Paradise.

The old man Wu Baigui said to Agudengba, Chu Sanxing, Dawa and Xiang Qima:

I am grateful for Master Tang's narration and share it with you. I hope that all living beings like us will believe in cause and effect, abide by the precepts, listen carefully, think about and practice seriously, and become Buddhas as soon as possible!

The old man Wu Baigui sang a song "Integrity":

 

Is your character good or not?

See the results at checkout;

Pay off your debts at the end of the year,

There will be no credit for the coming year.

 

Borrow money to thank friends,

Pay back the money and be loyal;

Don't make excuses.

Think of your own solution.

 

No debts have been paid in this life,

The next life must also be clear.

Reincarnated as a cow or horse,

Clear the account without any debt.

 

Breaking one's word is the wrong way to go.

It is difficult to move forward;

Integrity is the road,

You can move forward with strides.
