【你心中的央掘魔罗】THE AṄGULIMĀLA IN YOU
（English writing below)
在我的YOUTUBE頻道上，我每天都收到好一些留言，雖然我不曾在影片中說過：「請按讚、留言和分享！」。
有一部份的觀眾會辱罵我、取笑我或嘲諷我，但我大部份的觀眾都會鼓勵我、感謝我及問一些有深度的問題，提升自己的智慧。

老師 不好意思我想請問您 因為那些惡人 今世可以賺到不斐的財富 是因為前世他們累積了不可思議的福報導致 那麼佛教有種說法 就是我們累世輪迴 這一世就是靈魂繼承上世的修行程度
你修的好的地方（善緣福報）你修的不好的地方（惡緣惡報）都會帶來這一世讓你繼續修
最終目的就是修到大圓滿 然後成佛
可是我的問題是 那些惡人如果上世能夠累積到這麼多的福報 那麼本質上他的靈魂就一定是善的居多 怎麼這一世會偏差的這麼遠呢？ 令人費解@@ 不好意思想請教老師...
👩🏻🏫 我的回覆：
您好，菩薩有隔世之迷，而且人之初，性混沌，遇到善緣，人會變善，遇到惡緣，人會變惡。
但問題是，修過福報的人，不一定是守五戒的人，因為他們可能不曾修過智慧，習性特重，便不會產生這定力不去犯錯。
打個比方，成龍享有巨大的財富和名氣，和他喜歡做慈善的心性有關係，但他還是犯了淫，因為定力不足，喜色成性。後代房祖名吸毒不爭氣，成龍受千夫所指，也是邪淫果報之一。
喜做善，不代表沒有在行惡。行了惡，又沒有懺悔，就會有這般善惡交叉的命運。但惡人再惡，善緣臨時也會有放下屠刀，立地成佛的一天，如佛陀弟子央掘魔罗。
他曾經是個殺人不眨眼的連環殺手。為了要達到殺一千人的目標，他窮追著佛陀。只要殺了釋迦牟尼佛，央掘魔罗就大功告成，誤認為自己可以升天了。
可是無論他跑得多快，他就是追不上近在眼前緩慢走著的佛陀。
於是，他大聲呵斥要佛陀停下來。佛陀頭也不回地說：「央掘魔罗！我早就停下來了。沒有停下來的是你。」
朋友，你心中的央掘魔罗可也停下來了嗎？
還是你依然在種著惡因，傷害著自己呢？

Some are just scolding/mocking/taunting me but most of my audience thank me, encourage me and make the effort to ask insightful questions, so as to increase their wisdom.

💁🏻♂️ Mr Patrick commented:
Excuse me, Teacher, I would like to ask you. Those evil people can earn huge money this life, due to the incredible good fortune they amassed in their past lives. In Buddhism, it is said that our souls in this life inherit our cultivation from our past reincarnations.
The areas that you have cultivated well (positive affinities + good fortune) and the areas that you have not (negative affinities + negative karma) will follow you to this lifetime for you to continue your cultivation.
The eventual goal is reach the Great Perfection and then attain Buddhahood.
So my question is, if those evil people can accumulate so much good fortune, then intrinsically his soul should have more good in it.
Why do they end up deviating so far? This is perplexing. @@ And I would like to seek Teacher's advice.
👩🏻🏫 My reply:
When a Bodhisattva is reincarnated, He becomes ignorant of His past life.
Also, Man's nature at birth is muddled. When virtuous affinities arise, Man can become virtuous. When malevolent affinities arise, Man can become evil.
The thing is a person who have cultivated good fortune may not be a person who abide by the Five Precepts. He may not have cultivated his wisdom and retains many undesirable habits, so he lacks the meditative strength to restrain himself from doing wrong.
For example, Jackie Chan enjoys great wealth and fame, which is correlated to his love for philanthropy. However, he still committed sexual misdeeds, due to his inability to control his sexual urges and habitual lust. His only son, Jaycee Chan, unfortunately turns to be a drug addict for 8 years, a huge disappointment to many, and Jackie Chan got universally condemned again. Such is one retribution of sexual misconduct.
A person who likes doing good is not a virtuous man, if he also commits evil. When there is no repentance after evil is done, we will end up with a destiny that crosslinks good and evil.
However, no matter how evil a person is, when his virtuous conditions arise, there will still be a day when the butcher will lay down his knife and become a Buddha.
Just like Aṅgulimāla, who later became Buddha's disciple.
He was a serial killer, who wore the fingers of his 999 victims on a necklace. He was chasing Buddha to murder him, so that he can reach his goal of killing 1000 people. He wrongfully thought that would ascend him to Heaven.
Yet no matter how fast he ran, he could not catch up with Buddha, who seemingly was just walking slowly not that far away from him.
He yelled at Buddha to stop, and Buddha said, without turning his head:
"Angulimala! I have already stopped. It is you who have not stopped.”
My dear friend, have the Angulimala in you stopped?
Or are you relentlessly planting seeds of evil only to inflict misery onto yourself?

LeBron James officially confirms that he will play the final season of his
career on his son's team, via The Athletic:

Nevertheless, James’ message to all 30 teams Saturday was clear: If you want
me, draft Bronny.
“My last year will be played with my son,” James said. “Wherever Bronny is
at, that’s where I’ll be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son
for one year. It’s not about the money at that point.”
「我生涯最後一季會和我兒子打球。」
「不論Bronny在哪裡，我都會去那裏。」
「我願意付出一切，為了和我的兒子打球。」
「在那時間點錢已經不重要了。」

Bronny預計最早2024參加選秀。
查了一篇Mock Draft https://bit.ly/3gZUtHD，Bronny被排在24梯的26順位
附加一位39歲老漢，順位會提升多少呢？
