Life expectancy is broken? Just because I hurt Yinde.
According to the Book of Moral Education for Celebrities in the World, there was a gifted scholar named Zhang in the Republic of China who liked to write novels and published and sold them himself. In his view, these obscene books are just floating clouds at the bottom of the pen, and they will not harm their own virtue at all.
However, he is always wrong. One night, he dreamed that his dead father severely reprimanded him: "those dirty novels you wrote and printed are dazzling and fascinating." Many people have become disorderly and degenerate because of reading your book. Hades has always been hell to pay for such cases. You used to have a great future and live a long life, but now you have ruined your life's blessings because of such a bad thing. It's a pity that the merits accumulated by several generations of ancestors have all been lost in your hands. In this case, do you still think the gavel is harmless? "
Zhang woke up from his dream and regretted it. However, the crime has been committed and the bad news has come. Before long, Zhang's whole family drowned.
Booksellers don't listen to dissuasion? Blind and tragic death, no heir.
The Jade Calendar Treasure in the Qing Dynasty tells a story: there was a bookseller named Zhu Xiang in the south of the Yangtze River. He likes to print obscene books and novels, or rent or sell them because he makes a lot of money. Many people have read such books published by him. His friends advised him not to print these books for fear of being bad for him, but Zhu Xiang laughed at them for being too pedantic.
Within a few years, Zhu Xiang was blind. One day a fire broke out. Zhu Xiang couldn't escape because he couldn't see, and his body was burned to pieces. He cried bitterly for three days and then died. Before he died, he regretted it and said to his family, "I published and carved obscene books and paintings and made some small fortune, but almost all the money for treating diseases was spent, which harmed many people." My ending is karma. " I hope that my colleagues in the world will cut down the engraving and burn obscene books as soon as possible, and don't regret it like me. "
However, his remorse was too late. Because he committed a serious crime and hurt his family. Not only did he lose his children, but his wife and daughter also became prostitutes because they had no livelihood.
Painting prostitution to get rich? Hacked to death by robbers.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a Fujian man named Zhuge Run, who was a very good painter, especially good at drawing colorful obscene paintings. Because of his lifelike paintings, he became famous when he arrived in the provincial capital. Many rich children spent a lot of money to buy from him, and he soon became rich.
A few years later, one night, a group of robbers suddenly broke into his house. Zhuge Run shouted when he found out. In the dark, the robber cut off his hand first, and then cut him off several times. Zhuge Run fell to the ground and died, and his property was looted.
Later, Li Xiaolian of Guangdong saw his last manuscript from a friend and sighed: "If these obscene paintings are circulated, they will surely lead young men and women and weak-willed people astray and do harm to people." So he bought them all from his friends and burned them all. As a result, Li was admitted to Jinshi that year, and a few years later, Li's two sons were also admitted.
Huang Tingjian took the advice? Take the road of believing in Buddhism
According to the Records of Heart Washing and Song Chao, Huang Tingjian, a great scholar in Song Dynasty, liked to write gorgeous words when he was young. Fa Xiu, a Zen master, appreciated his talent, advised him not to write flowery words again, and told him that such behavior was sinful and would fall into the prison of ploughing the tongue. Huang Tingjian no longer wrote colourful ci.
Later, Huang Tingjian carefully studied the Buddhist scriptures given to him by the Zen master and gradually embarked on the road of practicing Buddhism. At the age of forty, he also wrote a "Duty", vowing to be a vegetarian, abstain from womanhood and drink alcohol. He wrote: "I swear to the Buddha today: I would like to do my best from now on, no more lust, no more drinking, no more eating meat." Putting it back is going to hell and suffering for all beings. "
Because Huang Tingjian abandoned these low-level interesting subjects very early and devoted himself to Buddhist practice, his poetry and ink had a unique Zen meaning, and eventually became a famous writer and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty and the founder of Jiangxi Poetry School. His poems, books and paintings are called "three musts".
From this perspective, the current social publishing, online pornographic paintings and even related videos are rampant, and their crimes are as great as the sky. If they don't repent, what will be the retribution?
