*DESTINY BRINGS ENEMIES TOGETHER AS A FAMILY*
Caller: Hi Master, let me share with you this: My relationship with my husband turned sour two years after our marriage, and this has persisted over the past six to seven years. I have started practising Buddhism for more than a year now and since then, I have been reciting the _Mantra to Untie the Karmic Knots_ ( _Jie Jie Zhou_ ).
Just one week ago, I had a dream, and it was about my past life with my husband. In that life, we were also a couple. He murdered me with a knife before dismembering my corpse. The lady police officer, who was tasked to protect me in that life, failed to do so due to her unsound reflex, and now, in this present life, she is my daughter.
Through this dream, I now truly understand how horrifying the cycle of rebirth could be. We don’t have the slightest clue about the type of people that could end up as part of our family nucleus.
Master Lu: You are exactly right! *Destiny brings enemies together as a family* .
Let me tell you this: Had you not dreamed of the lady police officer, who is now your daughter, and your husband of your past life murdering and dismembering your dead body, you would never know how the three of you are interconnected. Now you understand why, at times, I am not willing to divulge information like this to all? It does no one any good by knowing. In fact, it is potentially troubling! Do you wish to know how your life would end in this life?
Caller: My guess is he would continue to bully me and push me beyond my limits. And, if I did not practise Buddhism, I might end up killing him sometime in the future which would then perpetuate our cycle of rebirth.
Master Lu: Correct!
Caller: However, this dream has strengthened my resolve in practising Buddhism. I will be diligent to learn from Master Lu and to transcend the cycle of rebirth. I will definitely do so. I will ensure that I repay all my karmic dues, clear all my negative karmic debts and eventually transcend the harrowing cycle of rebirth.
Master Lu: You are exactly right!
Caller: I would like to tell all Buddhist friends that we should not be too obsessed with our family relationships, as they are all transient and illusory. Nothing here is real!
Master Lu: Now you understand? This is what being “Disillusioned with the mortal world” means. It should not be looked upon as a pessimistic outlook. Instead, *it is a positive attitude as your knowledge of the illusory nature of all phenomena makes you more steadfast in your spiritual cultivation* .
Caller: Yes! Thank you to Guan Yin Bodhisattva and Master Lu for the opportunity to chance upon Buddhism in this lifetime. I will surely remain steadfast in my Buddhism cultivation. I surely will…
