Amitabha. I wonder why we can't remember the memories of past lives. If we have them, people will practice more easily.

Remember that past lives are a great blessing, and people may practice in past lives.

Remember past lives or past lives. This great blessing is called "Su Zhi Tong Ming". Article 13 of the Tibetan Classics says that people who read Tibetan Classics in this world will get 28 kinds of benefits in the future, one of which is this "wisdom".

Like other great blessings, they are not given by buddhas and bodhisattvas. For example, wealth is boundless, emperors are born, diseases and epidemics are imminent, and so on. These are all from self-cultivation.

Yes, anyone who remembers past lives basically believes in Buddhism, because what he remembers is the same as reincarnation in Buddhist classics. Therefore, such people must believe in Buddhism and be devout. There is a report in my space, Liang Shuming told himself that he was a monk in his last life, for your reference. (Excerpts are as follows)

? Speaking of causality crossing III, I'm here to tell you a realistic example. In modern China, there was a great Confucian in Guilin, also called "Neo-Confucianism", named Liang Shuming. 65438-0987 At the age of 95, he was invited to attend the inaugural meeting of China Buddhist Culture Research Association organized by the Chinese Buddhist Association. Present at that time were Zhang Shengzuo, deputy director of the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee and later director of the Bureau of Religious Affairs of the State Council, Chi Nai, deputy director of the Bureau of Religious Affairs of the State Council, Zhao Puchu, president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, and some old wizards and scholars. Dozens of people were present. At this meeting, the central leadership spoke, and so did Pu Zhao. Then, invited scholars to speak. Mr. Liang Shuming, who was in his nineties at that time, was the first to raise his hand and ask to speak. He said: "I want to talk about two things today: First, I want to officially declare that I am a devout Buddhist. I have never told anyone before, for fear of being laughed at. The second thing, I'd like to cautiously suggest to you that people have this life, past lives and afterlife. I was a monk in my last life, a Zen monk. I originally planned to become a monk at the age of sixteen, but my parents didn't agree, so I didn't succeed. Although I can't become a monk, I've been a vegetarian since I was twenty, and I've been a vegetarian for 75 years since I was ninety-five this year. Although I am married, my life and becoming a monk are slightly different, but they are basically the same. Since people have this life, there must be a previous life and an afterlife. " He only said two things. Everyone present at that time was shocked, inspired and encouraged by his speech. Because everyone knows that Mr. Wang never speaks casually. If he wants to speak, he must stick to it. Under no circumstances will he change. Speaking of Liang Shuming, an old gentleman, people of a certain age may know him. It should be said that this is the pride of Guangxi people and Guilin people, and it has produced such a great Confucian scholar. Moreover, he presented his personal experience to everyone, saying: people have past lives, this life, and the afterlife.
