Emperor Mingde also thought about it in his mind for a long time, but he didn't know how to express his doubts correctly.
Master Jiyuan said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, please speak slowly and say whatever comes to your mind. There is no need to be shy. The two donors must be people you trust very much. So, what you said today should be regarded as something you said to the Buddha, and it should not be spread out."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingde indeed relaxed.
He recounted to the Buddha some of the scenes he had seen during his recent fake death.
When Anxia and Cen Yuan looked at each other, they realized that Emperor Mingde had actually dreamed of his past life.
Emperor Mingde asked Master Jiyuan, "The key point is, I also saw the scene after my death. I wonder if the master can explain it to me?"
Master Jiyuan remained silent, just listened with a frown.
Shi Anxia followed up on this topic and said, "I know someone who... met with a disaster when she was sixteen. She dreamed that she died, and the dream seemed real, but... "
Master Jiyuan laughed, "Someone told her that dreams are the opposite of what they actually are. As it turns out, dreams are indeed the opposite of what they actually are. The people who died in the dream were not dead."
Shi Anxia frowned slightly and asked, "Master, do you think dreams should be positive or negative?"
Master Jiyuan thought for a long time, nodded slightly, his eyes as deep as the stars in the night sky, and said slowly: "Dreams are where the heart desires and where the soul wanders. It is difficult to generalize the positive and negative opinions."
Shi Anxia couldn't help frowning, and then smiled again. Didn't she know Master Jiyuan yet?
Don't expect to get a definite answer to any question. You have to think and figure it out yourself.
She was like this in her previous life. Once she even lost her temper and said, "Master Ji Yuan, can you please give me some truth? You keep talking nonsense all day long and never tell the truth."
Master Jiyuan laughed, "Every word I say is the truth. You just can't understand because your mind is not at peace and your temper is not smooth. And you blame me for talking nonsense! May the Buddha have mercy on me, Amitabha!"
Just like now, Master Jiyuan began to be confused again, "Dreams are neither completely positive nor completely negative. They are like a reflection in a mirror, a moon in the water..."
Emperor Mingde waved his hand and said, "No, if they are all reflections in the mirror and moons in the water, why do people dream the same things?"
Master Jiyuan was not surprised to hear him say "everyone has dreams of this", and only asked, "May I ask, donor, have you ever had any other dreams besides this one in your life?"
Everyone answered, "Of course we did." But they forgot everything when they woke up.
Master Jiyuan no longer talked about dreams, but instead talked about the six great supernatural powers in Buddhism: the divine eye, the divine ear, the divine mind, the divine destiny, the divine realm, and the divine extinction.
He said, "According to Buddhist scriptures, after Buddha became enlightened by seeing a star at night under a bodhi tree, he knew everything about the past and the future. This kind of supernatural power is called destiny knowledge. Anyone who possesses destiny knowledge can know the past and future of himself and others."
Emperor Mingde was very smart and immediately looked at Shi Anxia.
He understood that in his previous life, when An Xia practiced meditation and had a very high level of comprehension, he might have acquired the ability to see the future.
Master Jiyuan added, "I can only say that people with immeasurable merits will have opportunities that ordinary people cannot achieve..."
He was not in a position to say more. He only said, "Buddhism is boundless and all beings are equal. In fact, everyone is practicing on their own path, whether it is bright or dark, fast or slow, it is all created by the mind."
Shi Anxia suddenly asked, "Does that mean that everyone has the possibility of seeing their past lives, or all their past lives, at some point in time?"
