My relatives passed away before they learned the Dharma. She was crying. What did she wake us up?

The senior sister's mother passed away.We prayed for Master Shengde to bless and salvation as soon as possible. At the same time, the senior sisters gathered in the Buddhist temple to chant Buddha's name for the elderly, wishing her to be reborn in the Western Paradise and never suffer from the suffering of reincarnation.

Feeling from the compassion and blessing of the saint master, the comfort and persuasion of fellow practitioners and the warm companionship, the senior sister was crying!

Looking at everything in front of me, I have a lot of thoughts, like the ordinary people in the cycle of life and death, who are tightly locked in the cycle of reincarnation by karma and karma, and cannot extricate themselves. Apart from doing my best to comfort and care, concentrate on chanting Buddha's and chanting scriptures for the deceased, and hoping to get the mercy of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas? What else can I do? When others think of myself and my closest relatives, I feel even more frightened.

The Buddha said in "The Great Hand Seal of the Extreme Saint Liberation": "...and my parents worked hard and sick and paid selflessly for us. Their mind and energy were exhausted for me. It should be said that they were exhausted until they were exhausted for me. Because of their karma, their karma and other causes and effects, have caused their parents to experience various acute pain in the six realms of reincarnation,..."

The senior sister said that my mother worked hard all her life and worked hard and never enjoyed any blessings.The senior sister said that she felt very guilty. Although she encouraged her mother to do some Buddhist rituals, she failed to learn the Tathagata Dharma with her mother more and better...Listening to the senior sister telling all the regrets in her heart for not fulfilling her wishes, I think of the great sufferings of birth, old age, sickness and death in the samsara of reincarnation due to the drive of cause and effect, the pull of karma, and the manipulation of ignorance, we have endured so much sufferings of birth, old age, sickness and death, and how many sufferings of not seeking and separation from love and separation!I remember a great master once said that over the long period of time, the remains piled up after our death were higher than Mount Sumeru, and we shed more tears than the four seas!If we do not study Buddhism and practice well, will we end up working hard in this life and wandering in the underworld alone with our hands and soul?Leave endless regrets to your children?

After hearing the Dharma sound of Namo Qiang Buddha, we should understand that we are not here to live a life of life, but to practice and seek liberation!Because people are impermanent, I want to die, I will die soon, and my parents should die if they die... This way, they will die from generation to generation!Are we willing to continue to toss and turns in the cycle of life and death like this?no!I must be liberated, I must be liberated!Liberate my parents from past lives, free my children from past lives, and free my relatives from past lives!So I must first be self-aware in order to be aware of him.

How can we be self-conscious?

In the "Major Seal of the Extreme Saint Liberation", Namo's Third Dorje Chang Buddha taught us: "The only way out now is to diligently practice the mind and practice the precepts, strictly observe the precepts, develop the true bodhicitta, practice the true Dharma, and practice all good deeds in the body, speech and mind,..."

When the closest relatives leave, we cannot just focus on sorrow, because these departures and farewells are the most direct warnings of impermanence to us!In thousands of kalpas, we are fortunate to obtain human body and meet the Buddha's Dharma again. What a great blessing!Let us turn our guilt towards our loved ones into the vows to guide sentient beings to learn the Dharma of Tathagata, let us turn our sad cry into practice according to the Dharma, devote our abilities to the Buddha's cause, obtain the Dharma with our pure mind and actions, and cultivate blessings and wisdom according to the Dharma. In this way, we will definitely achieve liberation in this life.

We must, like the great Milarepa, like the Venerable Maudgalyayana, like the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the void, vow to save our parents for generations, and use practical actions to guide our parents to the right path of Bodhi to study Buddhism and practice, so that we can live up to our own leisurely and fulfilled human body and to live up to the grace of our parents for raising them.Otherwise, we can only continue to reincarnate and never get rid of the disaster, so how can we repay our kindness?
