A Roar When Seeing Injustice

When I'm scrolling through short videos, I often see people saying all sorts of incredible things, which are especially funny.

There are people who don't even bother to research what the scriptures mean, who don't even know what a Buddha is.

They just open their mouths and say they are studying Buddhism, that they believe in Buddhism.

Even more extreme, some will even say that when they chant the Earth Store Sutra, they often see ghosts filling the room.

I'm really speechless with these kinds of people. Isn't this clearly blaspheming against Buddha?

Buddha himself said that Buddha has no form. If you can even see a Buddha's form, that's already wrong, let alone seeing ghosts!

Isn't that clearly being fanatically devoted to demons? I'm truly impressed by these people.

On one hand, they argue about studying and cultivating Buddhism, and on the other hand, they complain about being scared after chanting scriptures.

What's the point of chanting scriptures like this? People tell you that chanting scriptures is good for you, that it brings blessings, and that it's a way to stabilize your thoughts.

But you, not only did your thoughts not stabilize, they became even more chaotic than before.

What are you even cultivating?

This principle is very simple. If you can think of other things while chanting scriptures, if you can see other things, then you're simply not focusing. If you were to focus, to put all your thoughts into chanting the scriptures, what else could you possibly see? You'd even forget about time.

If your thoughts can wander while chanting scriptures, it means you're deeply troubled by inner demons, and it also means you doubt your own faith. Believing in anything in such a state will not be beneficial, but rather harmful.

Recently, I've been researching a technique called "entering a state to heal illness." This means that during meditation or in a dream, you project your consciousness into another space.

In that other space, you undergo repair and healing. Although your physical body doesn't move in reality, the experience within that state is very real.

Through this method, people can also achieve self-healing of their bodies.

It's similar to how you might cry in a dream when you're sad, and then wake up to find you've actually cried, or how you might feel your heart pounding after a frightening dream.

If this method could be utilized, then I believe it would have unexpected effects on some of humanity's most difficult-to-treat diseases.

Of course, this is just a theory of mine. I haven't actually tried to do this because I'm incredibly healthy.

It's just that I've learned a bit about mental power training in those states, and I often achieve enlightenment in my dreams, comprehending many principles.

I rarely meditate normally. Honestly, I'm too lazy to meditate because I can randomly achieve enlightenment while sleeping, and that state is very good and liberating.

The human body has a special connection with this universe. For example, when I had a severe leg injury, it would ache when the weather was bad, more accurately than any weather forecast.

Why is this? Scientifically, there are certainly various explanations, but if you think about it carefully, one is your body, and the other is the external environment. No matter how scientific it is, it still seems a bit unscientific.

Actually, I think science isn't a fixed doctrine, but rather a field of continuous exploration.

Our perception of this universe is currently too weak. Human eyes can only see about 4% to 5% of the things in this world, and that's being generous.

The reality might be even less. And then there's all the dark matter around us that we can't see or touch, which is as numerous as the stars in the sky, to an unbelievable extent.

If humans are intelligent, if human science is great, then why are humans so foolish as to always believe their own imaginations are reality?

Sometimes, I feel like the people confined in mental hospitals appear more normal than so-called normal people.

There was this guy, Zhang San, who was riding his motorcycle when an old man ran a red light and hit him. Zhang San, being kind-hearted, helped the old man up and didn't ask for compensation, instead worrying about the old man's condition.

But then, the old man called his daughter. When she heard her father had been in an accident, she showed up with over thirty people, insisting Zhang San couldn't leave.

Zhang San explained the situation clearly: the old man ran the red light and hit him. The traffic police arrived and reviewed the surveillance footage, confirming the old man was entirely at fault.

Normally, in such a situation, who could say anything more?

Zhang San thought he had explained everything clearly, so he decided to leave. He figured the old man was old and he didn't need to be compensated, so let's just let it go.

Guess what happened? The old man's daughter acted like an idiot. As soon as she heard Zhang San was leaving, she threw a fit, insisting Zhang San had to pay.

No matter how much Zhang San tried to explain, this woman wouldn't stop, making a scene.

In the end, it escalated to the police station.

We have to be reasonable, no matter what. After repeated confirmations, it was determined that the old man was responsible, but the woman still refused to accept it.

Finally, Zhang San had no choice but to pursue legal action to demand compensation from the other party.

At this point, the woman softened. She started complaining and pleading, talking about how difficult the old man's life was and begging Zhang San not to pursue the matter.

Zhang San was a true man. He said, "I gave you a chance, and you didn't take it. I wasn't even asking you for compensation, and you tried to extort me instead."

Nothing else mattered; everything would proceed according to legal procedures.

Can you say this person isn't more mentally unstable than someone in a mental hospital? She didn't admit her own fault. The police came, and a normal person would admit it, right? She still didn't. They went to the police station, and a normal person would admit it, right? She still didn't.

Isn't this just a classic case of trying to steal a chicken and ending up with a mouthful of feathers? She had no right on her side to begin with, and when others were willing to let it go, she got aggressive.

Is this something a normal person would do?

People like this, who are so self-righteous, are everywhere nowadays.

There was also a father and daughter who took a taxi, and they were acting the same way. When they reached their destination, they refused to get out and insisted the driver go and get their things for them, claiming it was his duty.

Even when the female driver called the police, it didn't help. They just sat in her car, the father and daughter, drinking and urinating, I don't know how they lived.

Let's say the driver couldn't do anything to them, but if an uncle came, would he tolerate them?

This father and daughter happily received a pair of large silver bracelets and were detained for a week.

Feeling good now? Satisfied?

I've noticed there are an absurd number of these idiots around now, acting like everyone owes them something wherever they go.

They act like someone's their dad and everyone has to indulge them. Even a dog wouldn't act like this, but people do.

You take a taxi for ten bucks, it's not like you hired a chauffeur for your own car, so why put on airs and act like you can't afford it?

It's only because we live in a harmonious society now that they're saved. If this were the old days, any decent guy would have kicked them twice and then done a good deed without leaving a name or anything.

If Big Brother hadn't cultivated the Dao before, and kicking people didn't cost money, honestly, I could kick seven or eight of these types silly in a single day.

I'm not bragging, helping the weak and fighting for justice has always been my dream since I was little.

Back in the day, my favorite thing to do was to roar when I saw injustice and strike when it was time to strike.
