If you commit a crime, you can't live. What goes around comes around.

One day, Monk Zhiyun went to visit Master Shi Zen. The two of them, Tan Xing, were very strong, and they came to the river unconsciously. At this time, a boatman is pushing the ferry on the beach into the river, ready to carry passengers across the river. After the boat was launched, pieces of crushed crabs, shrimps and snails were left on the beach, which made people feel pity.

Zhiyun couldn't help asking Master Shi, "Excuse me, Master, just now the boatman pushed the boat into the river and killed many shrimps and snails. Is this the fault of the passengers or the boatman? "

Shi Zen master replied without hesitation: "This is neither the fault of the passengers nor the fault of the boatman!" "

Zhiyun was puzzled and asked, "The passengers and the boatman are innocent, so who is to blame?"

Si Tong snapped, "It's all your fault!"

Hearing this, Zhiyun was puzzled.

Stone Zen master said: "Although Buddhism has six sentient beings, it is people-oriented. From a humanitarian point of view, the boatman is

Make a living and make money, passengers cross the river by boat, and shrimps and crabs are crushed to hide. Who is to blame? Sin is made by the heart, and there is no sin when the heart dies. How can you have no heart to commit a crime? Even if you are guilty, it is an unintentional crime, and it is made out of nothing.

Yes, it's your fault, isn't it? "

Zhiyun was silent after hearing this.

Stone Zen master went on to say, "Being and not being are two sides of Buddhism. There is nothing, and nothing is there. It is a one-sided word to say nothing. "

Know the clouds!

Sin is made by the heart, and guilt and innocence depend on the heart. It's not too much to make mistakes unintentionally. There is a saying that "doing evil in heaven can still be forgiven", and the laws of nature cannot be violated. Why bother? Guilt is unforgivable if you have the heart to do it. As the saying goes, "you can't live if you have done it yourself." Even if you have done nothing, as long as you have evil thoughts, it is also guilty.
