People often say that
after the death of their loved ones,
if they have unfulfilled wishes or concerns,
their souls will communicate with the living through dreams.
This belief has been passed down to this day.
Many people therefore hope to see their deceased relatives again
or get some unresolved comfort through dreams
. However,
many people also wonder
why their lost relatives never entrusted them with dreams.
Are they in another world? The world has long forgotten them
, or is
the soul of the deceased suffering?
These questions often confuse the living who are missing them.
In Luoyang City during the Song Dynasty
, a father was experiencing this kind of confusion.
His name was Mr. Zhao
. Mr. Zhao lost his beloved daughter Zhao Yuer
, and he was deeply confused
as to why he had never met his daughter in his dreams.
This question has always lingered in Zhao's mind. The old man's heart
kept him awake at night.
Thoughts and pain kept accumulating in his heart.
Although Mr. Zhao had not seen his daughter for many years
, he still could not let go of the deep father's love.
Every day, he thought about
how his daughter was doing.
Whether she lived happily in another world
and whether she had forgotten him.
Mr. Zhao's heart could not calm down.
His life suffered from the blow of losing his daughter. In trouble,
no matter how much he prayed
and longed
to meet his daughter in his dreams, his daughter never appeared.
Whenever he dreamed
, all he dreamed about were strangers.
Mr. Zhao's confusion and confusion became more and more serious.
He even began to wonder
whether his daughter had completely forgotten him
or whether her soul was suffering some kind of torture.
Mr. Zhao's questions were not answered
and became even more intense
. He began to look for
a way to answer this question.
One day,
Mr. Zhao went to the south of the city to visit an old friend.
On his way back
, it was getting late.
He happened to pass by the Chenghuang Temple
and heard that there was an enlightened eminent monk in the temple.
He decided to go in and ask for advice.
Perhaps this eminent monk could solve the doubts in his heart.
Mr. Zhao was looking forward to finding an answer
and hoping to get some comfort.
The temple was filled with
incense and incense
. As solemn and solemn,
Mr. Zhao felt a long-lost tranquility.
He knelt down in front of the statue and
prayed respectfully to the City God.
Zhao has something to puzzle
about .
My daughter has been dead for three years
, but why have I never seen her in my dreams? Is it because
she has forgotten me
or is she not having a good life in another world?
However,
when Mr. Zhao got up to leave, he
accidentally caught a glimpse of a white-haired old monk paying attention in the corner of the temple. Looking at him,
the old monk's kind
face revealed profound wisdom,
as if he could see into people's hearts.
Mr. Zhao was curious
and approached the old monk. The almsgiver
had some doubts in his heart.
The poor monk might be able to answer some
questions. The old
monk spoke
softly and
his voice was soft
but full of power.
Mr. Zhao's heart moved and
he quickly raised his
hands
to salute
. He followed him into a side hall
and the two of them sat down.
The old monk first asked
why the benefactor was so sad . Mr. Zhao
told the old monk one by one the confusion about being unable to explain his dreams after losing his daughter.
Mr. Zhao said,
"I don't understand
why strangers can appear in my dreams.
Only my beloved daughter Zhao Yu'er never appeared.
He was eager to find the answer
and to know what happened to his daughter." What didn't appear?
The old monk
pondered for a moment
and then spoke calmly.
Did the donor know the true origin of the dream?
Mr. Zhao shook his head.
He had never thought deeply about the origin of the dream
, but was always confused as to why his daughter did not appear in his dream.
People often think that dreams are illusory
, but in fact they are not.
The old monk slowly spoke.
There are three sources of dreams.
One is generated by the mind
and the other is caused by previous lives.
The third type is where fate comes .
The old monk goes on to explain
that the benefactor often dreams about strangers.
Perhaps these people are people who have a fate with the benefactor in his previous life
, or these dead souls have unfulfilled wishes.
They come to entrust the dream. When
Mr. Zhao heard this, he
suddenly had some enlightenment in his heart.
He asked,
"Why has my daughter never appeared in the dream?"
The question in his heart was still unanswered.
The old monk smiled slightly, "Has
the donor ever" I have heard of the "Six Paths of Reincarnation".
Mr. Zhao nodded
and said that he knew something about
. It is said in the Buddhist scriptures
that after death, all living beings
will
be reincarnated in the six
realms of heaven, human, asura, animal, hungry ghost, and hell
according to their merits and sins in life.
Mr. Zhao responded like this. The
old monk nodded and
said that there are two conditions
for a dead soul
to entrust a dream .
Strong nostalgia or unfulfilled wishes,
Mr. Zhao was thoughtful,
and he began to feel that he might be able to get the answer.
Do you mean that
my daughter has been... reincarnated?
The old monk stared deeply at Mr. Zhao,
with a trace of compassion in his eyes.
He nodded lightly.
The City God once told the poor monk
that a kind and pure soul will be reincarnated soon
if there is no care
after death.
Your daughter Zhao Yu'er will be born. She was filial and kind-hearted before
, so her soul did not stay in the underworld for too long.
She had escaped from pain
and entered a new reincarnation.
After hearing this, Mr. Zhao's eyes flashed with tears.
Deep in his heart, he felt a huge shock.
For a long time,
he had held out hope
that his daughter could see him again through dreams and
take away the pain in his heart.
But
now
the old monk's words made him understand that
maybe it was because of the woman. Because of her innocence and lack of care
, is it true that she quickly entered a new reincarnation of life
and no longer needed to see him
?
Then where is she
living now?
Mr. Zhao couldn't help but ask,
his eyes full of hope and reluctance.
The old monk's eyes seemed to be able to see
through life and death
. He stared deeply at Mr. Zhao
and said slowly.
Regarding this question,
only the City God can give you the answer in person
, Mr. Zhao. The gentleman was stunned for a moment,
and the old monk's previous words resurfaced in his heart.
A kind and pure soul
will be reincarnated quickly
if there are no worries.
This deeply touched him
and made him realize that his long-term pain and obsession were the reasons why he could not let go.
Although his longing was still deep
, was this longing hindering the rest of his daughter's soul?
Mr. Zhao fell into deep thinking in his heart. In
the middle of the night ,
he decided to go to the City God's Temple to seek the final answer from the City God.
As night fell
, Mr. Zhao walked alone to the
ancient temple
located in the east of Luoyang City.
The moonlight shone on the bluestone slabs,
and the temple was
filled with
incense and
a mysterious atmosphere .
When he knelt before the statue of the City God,
Mr. Zhao's heart was excited and devout.
City God,
I have something that bothers me.
Three years have passed.
I have never seen my late daughter in my dream.
Please explain why.
Before I finished speaking,
a slight wind blew through the temple.
The lights swayed with the wind,
which seemed to add a bit of mystery and solemnity.
Mr. Zhao felt a strange vibration,
as if there was something filling the air. Power beyond the human world,
his eyes involuntarily turned to the statue of the City God.
At this moment,
Mr. Zhao actually saw a strange sight.
The eyes of the statue of the City God seemed to move slightly,
and there was a faint light in the eyes,
as if responding to his call.
At this moment,
Mr. Zhao's heart jumped suddenly.
He couldn't believe his eyes.
Could it be that he had entered some kind of fantasy? He felt
that maybe this was really a response from the gods.
He widened his eyes and
almost didn't dare to blink
for fear of missing an important moment.
Just as he was in deep shock,
a low and majestic voice suddenly came from the statue,
as if it had traveled through ancient time and space.
What you asked for
has been answered
. The voice was far away, deep,
and had an otherworldly aura,
as if it was a revelation coming from between heaven and earth
. The old man's heart beat faster, and
there was an indescribable surprise and shock in his eyes.
He couldn't help but ask
my daughter in a low voice
, where was she, how
was she doing?
At this time,
the City God's voice sounded again,
still low,
but this time with a trace of compassion .
She had been reincarnated
into a new reincarnation.
There was no regret in his heart
, and his soul was at rest.
When Mr. Zhao heard these words,
he seemed to have a surge in his heart.
Although he knew the truth of reincarnation and reincarnation in his heart
, Mr. Zhao still felt hard to let go
when he heard the confirmation from the City God himself.
He missed his daughter deeply
and could not let go of the deep father's love.
For several years,
he had been looking forward to seeing his daughter again,
even if it was only in a dream
, but now
he had to accept the fact that
his daughter had entered another reincarnation.
Her soul has rested in peace.
Tears suddenly appeared in Mr. Zhao's eyes.
His voice was trembling
choking, and
he
asked
, "
Has
she
really forgotten
me ? " Leaving
is part of her practice
and part of her own soul's sublimation.
The pain you feel
is actually the obsession you have not been able to let go of.
Mr. Zhao's heart suddenly shook.
These words seemed to hit the deepest weakness and pain in his heart.
Looking back on these years,
he has been unable to let go of his longing for his daughter
. He cannot let go of her departure.
Every time he sees a photo of his daughter,
every time he thinks of her death. At that moment,
the pain came to his heart again.
Mr. Zhao suddenly realized
that this pain did not come from his daughter
but from his own inner obsession.
It was his inability to let go of the past
and his resistance to an unchangeable fate.
He closed his eyes,
took a deep breath and
sat quietly in the temple,
feeling the flow of it all
. His heart changed at this moment, and
he suddenly understood
himself. He has been suffering from the things that cannot be changed.
Letting go and
learning to accept
is what he needs to do.
Only by letting go
can he truly find peace and tranquility.
He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
In his ears was the sound of incense burning in the temple.
A sacred and peaceful atmosphere filled the air.
Mr. Zhao felt a calmness and relief that he had never experienced before.
Instead, there were no longer so many questions and pain in his heart.
It was a deep understanding and relief.
He understood that
every effort and miss he had made
was out of deep love,
but if he persisted in it, he would
not be able to get out of the shadow of the past.
At this moment,
a warm breeze blew through
the temple, and the incense was gently swaying in the wind.
Suddenly, a gentle power emerged in Mr. Zhao's heart.
His eyes fell in front of him unconsciously,
as if he saw a person. The familiar figure
seemed to be his lost daughter Zhao Yu'er.
Her smile was still warm.
There was no pain in her eyes
, only calmness and serenity
. That tranquility seemed to be right in front of Mr. Zhao's eyes,
so close that he could reach it.
Then
Mr. Zhao heard a whisper in his ear.
The voice was soft and full of comfort
, as if it came from afar
with an unspoken tenderness. "
Daddy , don't stop.
" Worry about me,
I'm doing well.
Although this whisper
was slight
, it seemed to hit the softest place in Mr. Zhao's heart.
At that moment
, his state of mind became extremely calm,
as if unprecedented tranquility filled his whole heart.
He knew that
his daughter's soul had found its home.
She had entered a new life
and continued her own practice and growth
. As a father,
Mr. Zhao finally understood
him. The longing for his daughter is not a bondage to his daughter
, but a continuation of love and
a deep blessing.
Mr. Zhao is no longer troubled by his own obsession.
His heart is full of warmth and relief.
He is no longer confused
and sad
, but feels an extremely profound tranquility.
It is as if his daughter's soul is still connected to him in some form,
although it is no longer through dreams
and no longer through physical meeting.
But this kind of love has transcended life and death,
transcended time and space,
and will always exist in the deepest part of his heart.
Mr. Zhao stood up
and saluted the statue of the City God again.
This time,
there was no doubt in his heart
, no heaviness
, only heartfelt gratitude and relief.
He felt that
he was no longer trapped in the pain of the past,
but had found a way to the future.
Every emotion in life. Everyone needs to let go. Letting
go does not mean forgetting
, but learning to tolerate and fulfill.
He has learned how to find his own peace in silence
and find comfort in longing .
Mr. Zhao slowly walked out of the temple door.
The moonlight was like water and sprinkled on the bluestone.
The breeze blew gently,
bringing waves of fresh breath.
Walking on this quiet street,
Mr. Zhao's heart was filled with relief and peace that he had never experienced before
. I understand that
the death of loved ones is not the end of life
but another form of continuation.
Just like what the City God said,
kind souls have already transcended and
entered a new reincarnation.
The concerns between the living and the dead
do not need to be continued through dreams.
They will always exist in the heart, in the memory, and in the deep blessing.
Mr. Zhao’s soul has been baptized.
The pain and confusion in the past gradually turned into a breeze.
Melting into the night sky,
although he still misses his daughter
, he is no longer in pain
because he knows that
her daughter is living well in another world.
Her soul has rested,
and his thoughts will be transformed into hopes and blessings for the future.
He continues to move forward
with a deep understanding of life and hope for the future
.
