The overseas edition of People's Daily on March 24th 1994, People's Daily on April 8th 1994, Xinmin Evening News, People's Case-solving Newspaper and other media all reported that Zhou Fengchen's old man's body was not decomposed. Many experts and scholars have also investigated and commented on this deliberate phenomenon.
Zhou Fengchen was born in Shuyang Town, Xianghe County on June 2nd 1905, 165438+, and stopped breathing at his eldest son's home on October 24th.
Her maiden name is Zhou, a big family in Xianghe County, with many different ancestors. My father was an official in the late Qing Dynasty. She was gifted and kind-hearted since she was a child. Suffering from illness, I witnessed the people dying from the quagmire and decided to study medicine to save all beings from childhood. Helpless is a daughter's home, surrounded by feudal ethics, but she can't read and write, let alone come into contact with medicine. Married in this town at the age of 20.
According to Yang Shoude, the eldest son of the old man, when he was young, he begged her husband to invite a practitioner with stunts to his home and ask her how to treat diseases, infantile convulsions and various common diseases in rural areas. However, I feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn, an old man from Zhou Fengchen, who never forgets his words and knows his true story. In addition, he also devoted himself to mastering special diagnosis and treatment skills. In case the villagers stay ill for a long time, the old people can get rid of the disease as long as they get used to it, and the medication is simple, mostly black beans, peach branches and plant ash, which are common in crop yards. Treating children's diseases is also a drug for children sold by pharmacies. After taking it under her command, it has special effects, which is incredible. The old man saves lives all the year round, accumulates virtue and does good deeds, and is responsive, and his reputation is gradually spreading far and wide. Even people as far away as Qukou Town came to seek medical advice. For the sick person, even if others don't ask her, she will go to other people's homes for treatment and cure. She never tells her family, and only when the villagers talk about it later will the family know.
She has cured countless patients in her life, but she suffers from illness. She was seriously ill at the age of 38. Later, an aunt of the old man cured his illness with folk therapy and advised him to abstain from vegetarian food from now on. Since then, I have been practicing strictly, adhering to ruthlessness, and never touching the flesh until my death. Never wavered for half a century.
During the Cultural Revolution, because the old man burned incense and worshipped Buddha, she was also beaten, and she was not allowed to treat others. All the valuable things in the house were taken away, but the old layman managed to keep a bottle of white honey for treating children. Although she was not allowed to treat people again, she still insisted on treating people. She refused to see them during the day and let the villagers come at night. She said that even if she died the next day, she had to take care of others' illness. The old laity never asks for money to treat people, and she doesn't accept anything from others. At most, she just offered some fruits and things like that to the Buddha. During the day, the village sent people to watch at home, and the old man hid from outsiders and burned incense in the dead of night. On New Year's Eve, someone stayed up until midnight. After they left, the old man carefully closed the doors and windows and prayed to the Buddha. In that unprecedented disaster, the old man did not bow to bad luck, but kept practicing all day.
1976, this old layman came to Beijing to live with his great grandson. It was not until he was 80 years old that he slipped and sprained his left foot and was freed from heavy housework. That winter, the old man's right hand suddenly festered, oozing blood, and all his nails fell off, which kept the old man awake all night for a whole month. In the case that the hospital couldn't cure it, the old man applied herbs himself, and it took another month. But after that, my right hand lost its mobility for more than two years, so I can't take chopsticks when eating?
In his later years, the old man still meticulously insisted on offering sacrifices to buddhas and bodhisattvas before three meals a day. It was inconvenient for her to walk, so she held the windowsill and table step by step to burn incense in front of the Buddha. When he really couldn't walk, the old man lit three incense sticks on the table, called his three-year-old great-granddaughter and helped him give the incense to the Buddha. Whenever someone brings fresh fruit snacks, even a few dates, the old man must give them to the Buddha first. As an ordinary peasant woman, Zhou Fengchen faced the world with a sincere heart and life with a compassionate heart, and realized the essential laws of good and evil in the world and the basic laws of life. She not only abides by the precepts herself, but also educates future generations in various ways. As long as her children and grandchildren mention the old man, they will think of five life rules that she often talks about:
First, when you go to the horizon, your mouth should be facing your heart, and your heart should be in the right position;
Second, think more about others, not just yourself;
Third, the grace of dripping water is rewarded with a spring;
Fourth, money is a thing outside the body. Life can't be taken, and death can't be taken. Don't take it too seriously.
Fifth, some people know that a person does good things, while others know that he does bad things. In the end, good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil.
Grandson Yang and grandson Yang Xueshun remember that when they were in primary school, the old people woke them up early every day, went to the school to clean the classroom, tidy up the tables and chairs and make a fire to cook. The two insisted on it all the year round and formed a habit. In the class's charity, the names of the younger brothers always rank first. Knowing that his classmates were ill, the old man sent them to visit at home to help them with their lessons and formed a good habit of helping others. There is a classmate in the village. His family is so poor that he often can't eat at noon. When Yang saw it, he couldn't stand it. He went home at noon to finish his meal, and then secretly gave him a tortilla. After the old man knew it, he silently praised it.
The old man came to live in Beijing with his great grandson on 1976. It was not until he was 80 years old that he slipped and sprained his foot and took off the heavy housework. That winter, her right hand suddenly festered, purulent and bleeding, and all her nails fell off, which kept the old man awake all night for a whole month. When the hospital could not cure her, she applied herbs herself, and it took another month to get better. But after that, my right hand lost its mobility for more than two years, so I can't take chopsticks when eating? In his later years, the old man still meticulously insisted on offering sacrifices to buddhas and bodhisattvas before three meals a day. It was inconvenient for her to walk, so she held the windowsill and table step by step to burn incense in front of the Buddha. When I really couldn't walk, I lit three incense sticks on the table and asked my three-year-old great-granddaughter to help me present the incense to the Buddha. Whenever someone brings fresh fruit snacks, even a few dates, the old man must give them to the Buddha first.
In autumn and winter, the elderly are particularly weak, and their children have repeatedly advised the elderly to eat eggs and other things from a nutritional point of view, but the elderly still do not change their original intention and warn the younger generation: "People should be greedy for meat and fish, and take a bite back."
According to the memories of family members and villagers, the elderly in Zhou Fengchen have a strong special perception function in their later years. After Zhou Fengchen went to live in Beijing, most villagers went to see the old man every time they went to Beijing for business. Often when guests enter the door, the old man tells them what people in Beijing are doing, how many people are in the same company and so on. If someone looks for an old man to see a doctor, she also knows in advance, first tells the illness, and then takes out the medicine that has already been prepared, which makes people puzzled.
According to the memory of the old man's descendants, although the old layman is over 80 years old, her thinking has always been clear. Before she died, she arranged a sanitation and told her daughter not to mop the floor, but to squat on the ground with a rag in her hand. Her daughter used to have an old leg disease and died after wiping the floor; Before the old man died, more than twenty people saw several red fireballs burning a mile or two west. (including family members and outsiders) Some people saw three, others saw four, different sizes, but all at the same time.
Many strange things about the old man, the old man's grandson wants to record, the old man knows in another room, and tells him not to write, someone will write later. The old man's grandson didn't listen, but the refill of the ballpoint pen suddenly disappeared, which surprised everyone.
1983 One summer day, the second granddaughter Yang Shuli didn't come home after school at noon. After a while, a classmate came to report that Yang Shuli had been hit by a bus. The family suddenly panicked. The old man was not worried at all, and told his family as if he knew this would happen in advance: "You all stay down to earth. Shu Li is very good. She will be back soon. " Sure enough, at two o'clock in the afternoon, a driver took Yang Shulin home. The driver said with a lingering fear: "After hitting the child, I thought it was over, and I saw a mass of gas wrapped around the child and rolled out more than ten meters away. I stopped the car, picked up the child and ran to the hospital. When I checked, there was no internal injury or trauma at all. "
Yang Shuli herself said: "When the car crashed, I fell as far as flying, and it didn't hurt to get up. I want to come back, but my uncle refuses, so I have to go to the hospital for examination. "
How the old man in Zhou Fengchen knew that such a life-threatening thing would turn the corner will always be a mystery. Yang's eldest grandson also suffered a life-threatening disaster. At that time, he miraculously survived, and probably only the old man himself knew the mystery.
As early as the spring of 1985, she said to her fourth daughter, Yang Xiuhua, "Oh, I am a corpse." In the following years, she also mentioned or hinted at it to other daughters, grandchildren and granddaughters many times. At that time, my family didn't understand what it meant, but I felt that the old man was old and didn't take these words seriously.
1992165438+10, when the old man was dying, he said in front of the whole family, "My business is very big, not only in Xianghe County, but also in China, and finally in the world." More than 20 young family members looked at each other, and no one could understand what the old man said. It was not until a series of things happened later that the family suddenly realized.
Zhou Fengchen made a long-term plan for the final placement of his body in his hometown.
At present, the earth house used by the elderly at home was built by the elderly themselves in 1963. At the beginning, the production team arranged a housing base for the elderly in the east of the village, but she was optimistic about this place. This was the old house of Lao Zhang's family in the village. The old man changed new wood from five rooms without hesitation. 1976 went to live with his eldest son in Beijing. Before he left, he separated his two sons and divided the five rooms in his home into two parts, two and a half for each son. The eldest grandson advised the old man, "Our whole family is going to Beijing. Who else do we need to live in these two old houses? " The old man smiled and said, "You don't understand!"
Whenever the house is repaired at home in the future, the old man will send back a part of the repair fee from his grandson. 1September, 1989, the old man heard that his second son, Yang Shouyu, was going to dig out all the old houses, so he came back specially to complete the housing allocation procedures for his two sons. Persuaded by the old man, Yang Shouyu had to tear down his two semi-old houses and rebuild them. Two semi-adobe houses belonging to the eldest son, Yang Shoude, remain intact. Nowadays, this earthen house is of great use for the placement and protection of the remains of the elderly. 1in may, 1993, anthropologists pointed out at the beginning of the investigation that the best environment for preserving the remains of the elderly was the heatable adobe sleeping platform in rural areas. Experts were amazed when they learned that the old man had made a series of arrangements for these two and a half old houses.
1992 1 1 month, an 88-year-old man in Zhou Fengchen made full physical and psychological preparations for his body not to rot, and persisted for more than half a month before he stopped breathing. From fasting, vomiting, excretion, expectoration to cleaning the mouth and body, the whole process is orderly, allowing the family to witness the magical functions and extraordinary environmental changes of the elderly.
165438+1October 6th, the old man suddenly felt unwell, coughed and refused to eat. He was diagnosed as acute pneumonia by Xianghe County Hospital and was hospitalized. During the hospitalization, the elderly suffered from abnormal vomiting many times. Sometimes he can spit out a bowl of vomit, which contains red tadpoles and black millet particles.
165438+1October 10, the old man strongly demanded to go home, but his children refused to leave the hospital. The old man said, "If you don't let me go home again, I'll make you regret it!" " "The child still doesn't agree. The old man's pulse and heartbeat stopped at that time, showing a state of severe shock. The children panicked and cried and promised the old man to go home. The old man responded immediately, and his breathing, heartbeat and mind returned to normal. Surprisingly, the old man can control his heartbeat and consciousness.
At noon, the old man was taken home. After returning home, he was extremely weak, but the old man was always awake. The next day, the old man's physical condition eased, and his family began to give him infusion treatment. By 15, the old man's body basically returned to normal and began to eat. Since then, the old man's eating habits have changed greatly, from being afraid of cold to being afraid of heat, so his family had to give her cold rice and cold water. 15 in the morning, the old man did not eat or defecate for 9 days, and his defecation was abnormal. This kind of defecation is gushing, heavy and sticky. The color is brown. From then on, until the old man stopped breathing, he had a lot of stools every day, especially in large quantities and in various colors. Finally, even an oily thing was discharged. I don't know where so many things came from.
165438+1At midnight on October 20th, the old man arranged for his family to escort him to leave Xianghe and return to Beijing. The old man was lying in the car with a quilt on his head, but she knew where the car had gone. The car crossed the wucun Bridge and she said, "It's in Tongxian." When the bus arrived at Bawangfen, she said, "Take the Fourth Ring Road." When she arrived at Jianxiang Bridge, she said, "It's almost home." The old man refused to eat after returning to Beijing.
165438+1At 22: 45 on October 24, the old man unplugged the oxygen tube and said, "I'm going to sleep, I don't need it." Then he closed his eyes peacefully and stopped breathing and heartbeat. After the old man stopped breathing, his body temperature did not drop for 24 hours, and his limbs remained soft as usual after a week. It is said that after the old man died, his family tried to bury the body, but the old man had a dream for her grandson who was a soldier in a foreign country, saying that she was not dead, so a family storm broke out and the body was finally preserved. In the following months, the old man's remains were naturally dehydrated and degreased at normal temperature and pressure, including the hot summer season, and this process was still uninterrupted.
Modern science can't explain the strangeness of the old man before and after he stopped breathing.
Mr. Yang, the eldest son of the old man, said that when the old man stopped breathing, they didn't know what flesh was. Until the fifteenth day of the old man's death, he went to his colleague's house to chat after work, and saw a lot of newspapers on the table. He picked up one and saw a report about the body of a monk in Daxing, Jiuhuashan. Isn't that weird? As soon as he saw that the report was similar to his grandmother's situation, he quickly took it home for his family to see, and then he knew that the old man might become a flesh. They just want to preserve the old man's body. Mr. Yang went to Guanghua Temple to find the Master of Yi Studies. Tell him about it. The mage told him that the old layman left a vivid example of practice for the world by leaving this body, which should be well protected. The strength of Buddhist groups is too small to rely on the strength of scientific departments. Later, I went to China Institute of Human Body Science, which was led by a first-class professor. After seeing the old man's body, he said with special excitement that there was such an old man in China at the end of the 20th century, which was the pride of our Chinese nation. After that, the Academy of Human Sciences issued a notice to protect the body of the elderly. Mr. Yang had a dream that morning. In the dream, his grandmother told him that from today on, you don't have to hide my affairs. It was noon, and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences sent someone there.
Subsequently, experts conducted an in-depth investigation on the life story of the old man in her hometown for more than a month, and learned a lot of valuable information related to life science. Experts were surprised to find that the elderly had long known their final destination and physical survival, and made corresponding arrangements.
About a month after the death of the old layman, the old man's daughter and two colleagues of Mr. Yang accidentally touched the old man's body with their hands, and their hands were stained with a fragrance. This fragrance is not the fragrance of ordinary cosmetics, but a faint fragrance that cannot be said. It's been going on for a month, and it won't wash off. The old layman's body has experienced more than ten years of cold, heat and spring and autumn, and there is no corruption at all.
There are two coin-sized marks on the old man's forehead, which were accidentally scratched by relatives when she was dehydrated shortly after her death, but the bacteria failed to infect and later healed automatically.
There are many famous flesh bodhisattvas in history, which Buddhists call the vajra body. In Tibet, the rainbow light even disappeared, or only the hairy armor was left, or the carrion was reduced to a few inches. Modern people like to interpret "science" as "accidental" result under "special conditions" and even dismiss it as "superstition". However, the old man in Xianghe did not rot at home without any measures, but was sluggish. The whole process has been tested by many experts and scholars, and many times before his death, he predicted that he would have this achievement and return. Is all this accidental?
The old man is good at spiritual practice all his life. Many people really find these miraculous changes incredible. They may doubt its authenticity, and even if some people believe it, they will think it is just some kind of accident. However, I have been reluctant to understand. In fact, Buddhism is an empirical science. Numerous Sanskrit texts have failed to show the truth of Buddhism time and time again, but all beings in the last days of France are really uncontrollable, and even "superstition" is called "superstition".
An ordinary peasant woman has neither profound health-preserving theory nor earth-shattering achievements. She is only cautious in small matters, clean in the rolling world of mortals, persistent in poverty and hardship, and persistent in her original intention. With a weak body, she can achieve such a brilliant miracle of life.
Lin Zexu said: "Taking state affairs as family affairs can be regarded as Buddha's heart!" As the saying goes!
After her death, Zhou Laoju influenced her eldest grandson, a major official, Mr. Yang, with her personal practice and miracle. From then on, Mr. Yang began to learn Buddhism. Teacher Yang told us with deep feelings that when grandma told us her theory, I often talked back to her old man and said to her, "What do you know?" The old man just said to us in tears, "I don't agree with your now, and I will always teach you to understand. In fact, I can understand better with my eyes closed than with your eyes open! " Now I know that the old man knows better than we do, and I am only accused of being naive.
