Inconceivable True Examples of Causality —killing Animals

Inconceivable True Examples of Causality —killing Animals



Inconceivable True Examples of Causality —killing Animals

My family name is Chen. I live in Chiayi, Taiwan. Recently, I have heard about some stories of people cruelly killing animals and then encountering horrible retributions. I have no way to forget them from my memory. Therefore, I wanted very much to put these incidents into writing, to cause people in the world to raise their vigilance.

The first one was told recently by a friend of mine living in Sihu. It was about a deceased old farmer who was his next-door neighbor. While he was alive and making living from farming in the past, he often spread his harvested grains in his yard to dry under the sun. Sometimes, chickens and ducks of his neighbors came to eat the grains. This farmer was very furious to see that and immediately used a bamboo stick to expel them. However, the chickens and ducks still came to steal the food when he was not around. Due to his anger, this neighbor used a big fishing net to catch the chickens and ducks which stole food. Whenever he caught any of them, this farmer would break one leg of each of them by brutal force. Thus, those chickens and ducks would be in a miserable state of unable to walk. Since he was using such cruel means, many people tried to persuade him not to crucify animals in this way. However, he was still stubbornly indifferent and continued his acts. No one could have imagined that a few years later, this farmer was suddenly no longer able to walk. His two feet started to swell and then the muscles began to putrefy. The tremendous pain that he was experiencing often caused him to scream miserably. Although he looked for treatment everywhere and even tried to seek help from divination and other alternatives of spiritual power, there seemed to be no effect from any of these. He suffered in such torment for six years or more before he passed away.

According to many neighbors, during the last several months of his life, the farmer often shouted while on his sickbed, “Shoo! Shoo!” Meanwhile, his hands were also making the movement of pushing animals away. When people asked what he was doing, he said that he “saw” a group of chickens and ducks with broken legs coming and surrounding him. Moreover, each of them used its sharp and hard beak to hit and bite his legs, causing the skin and muscle on his legs to break and bleed and bringing him tremendous pain. That was why he had to often wave his hands and shout loudly to try to get rid of them. Unfortunately, such efforts were all futile and useless. Not long after, this farmer ended his miserable life under the torment of such pain and suffering.

Inconceivable True Examples of Causality—Telling Lies

Inconceivable True Examples of Causality—Telling Lies



Editor’s Note:
This article describes a small matter which occurred several decades ago among average people. It can cause people to ponder deeply. It gives a serious caution to people in the world.
Inconceivable True Examples of Causality—-Telling Lies
     Thirty years ago, the life of average people in Taiwan was still very poor and hard. Many people who were doing business had to go door to door to sell their goods.

Once, a merchant selling fabrics brought his goods to a place and showed them to a group of women. After making comments and appraisals, none of them wanted to buy. The merchant had to take the goods back. After counting, he found that one roll of fabrics was missing. Every one of the women present said that she had not taken it. Among them, one not only said that she had not taken it, but also swore, “Had I taken it, I would be hit and killed by an automobile.”
No one could have imagined that after this woman had returned to Kinmen, she was killed in a strange and peculiar auto accident, validating her oath that carried a fatal consequence.

What happened that day was when she was at her home. She was hit and killed by a big truck that broke through the front wall and crashed into the living room due to the malfunction of the steering wheel.

After the news was spread, many people talked about it and gave their opinions. They felt that such occurrence of causal retribution is truly inconceivable.

     This woman’s tragic death gives people a shocking awakening. The retribution of telling lies is very horrible. I advise everyone to take this understanding as a precept, not to speak falsely, not to give rise to greed and coveting, and actively do good deeds to accumulate merit. Only then can one have good health, happiness, joy, and auspiciousness! 

      The above content is only the understanding and views of the writer as a result of learning Buddhism. We should, however, rely on the Dharma expounded by the Buddha as the standard. 

May all living beings in the world believe in Causality.
Practice compassion and commit to no killing.
May they experience health, peace, and happiness!

不可思議之因果實例---穿山甲人



                           


                    不可思議之因果實例---穿山甲人

編者按

一九八二年四月七日,作家柏楊先生應馬來西亞馬華公會邀請,前往吉隆坡演講。隨後,當地新生活報社長周寶源及總編輯吳仲達兩位先生向他介紹這則真實故事和不幸的主角張四妹女士。回到台灣後,柏楊先生撰寫穿山甲人上下兩篇專題報導,發表於當年七月十二日及十三日兩天的中國時報

原文甚長,經略摘後如下文。


一九四八年的某一天,馬來西亞聯邦森洲淡邊村,貧苦的農夫張秋潭先生正在他那小小的果園耕種,看到一隻穿山甲,去捉它時,它卻跑進山洞去了。三個男孩聞聲趕來,叫鬧著,卻無計可施。這時他的太太,年才三十九歲的彭仙女士,挺著已懷孕四個月的大肚子,也來參與這場追捕。於是,就在洞口架起木柴燃燒,希望用煙把它熏出來,這樣忙了半天,卻再也沒有看到穿山甲的影子,一家人大失所望的黯然而歸。



五個月後,彭仙女士分娩,一個可怕的穿山甲女孩——就是我所敘述的女主角,呱呱誕生。作母親的被產婆的駭叫聲驚動,當她第一眼看到孩子時,立刻暈厥在產床上,等她甦醒後,抱著孩子,眼淚像雨一樣的沖洗著嬰兒渾身的鱗甲。她知道她生下來的不是一個女孩,而是一個怪物。





怪物的降臨,使山城的人們大起騷動,全村被穿山甲醜陋的形象攫住,大家立即陷入驚恐,認為她會禍延全村,他們中了魔一樣,要求張家把怪物交出來,張秋潭夫婦當然明白一旦交出孩子的後果,於是對外詐稱已死,而把她藏匿在一個斗室中,孩子(父母為她命名張四妹),從呱呱墮地那天開始,便這樣被囚禁在陰暗的牆角,過著不見天日的生活。流盡眼淚的爹娘,無可奈何,沒有辦法也沒有錢為她醫治怪疾。



張四妹女士的父親在她十歲時,與世長辭,據他妻子說,他死得十分痛苦。望著匍匐在床前、活像一個蜷臥的穿山甲的女兒,從他那不斷增加濃痰的喉中,不停的喊叫:“兒啊!你跟爹一塊死吧,留下你,我死不瞑目。




嚴密的藏匿,雖然使村人們不再探詢,可是大家仍抱著疑慮。



這期間,曾有一個馬戲團主光臨,要用重價(折合一百兩黃金)購買,做母親的一口拒絶,告訴他怪物確實已經死了。



張四妹女士就這樣過了三十多年幽閉的生活。最後在一九八二年三月被無意中發現,三十年前的舊事像噩夢一樣,再回到人間,所幸人們心智的成長和知識水準的提高,已使大家在充滿同情心下,容許她的存在。這正是新生活報社長周寶源先生堅持我多停留一天的原因,讓我看一看和我們擁有共同血緣的、可憐的龍女。




我無法形容張四妹女士的形象,一定要我形容的話,我同意森洲淡邊村村民的稱呼——“穿山甲人。她頭髮全無,光禿的頭頂,雙眼幾乎呈五十度的角度向上吊起,鼻子塌陷,嘴唇突出,牙齒像墳崗上凌亂殘破的墓碑。其中一個門牙卻像大象的牙一樣,衝破尖聳的嘴唇。滿身鱗甲,令人看了發抖。更恐怖的是,她的眼睛沒有眼瞼,像一條魚一樣,兩眼圓圓的瞪在那裡,眼眶像一個燒紅的鐵圈。



新生活報曾邀請皮膚科專家為她診斷,結論是:無藥可治。
