One day, when he saw a thief stealing rice in his field, he didn't shout to catch the thief, but quietly dodged. People feel very strange. He explained, "As the saying goes, trees need skins, but everyone needs faces. A shameless person? Who wants to be a thief? It's all natural and man-made disasters, and there's nothing we can do. "We should forgive him." Later, the thief learned of Mr. Li's kindness and was moved to turn over a new leaf and become a good person. There was a famine one year, and many villagers could not live. Mr. Li took out thousands of stones stored at home and lent them all to the poor who were about to break their cooking. The next year, because of the poor harvest, the people who borrowed food last year did not pay back, so they went to Mr. Li's house to apologize, but Mr. Li not only did not let them still owe food, but also entertained them to eat at home and burned all the debts borrowed by the villagers in public. He said to them:' The grain in my family was originally intended to help people in trouble, not to hoard it for profit. Now that your debt has been settled, I hope you don't take it to heart. "A few years later, there was a great famine. Mr. Li gave up a lot of family property and handled large-scale porridge. More than 10,000 people starved and saved their lives. The following spring, Mr. Li also distributed a large number of grain seeds to poor farmers. Someone said to him,' Mr. Li, you have saved many lives. Your kindness is too great. He replied:' The meaning of yin and virtue is like tinnitus. You can only know for yourself, and others can't hear you. Now that I've done it, you can't talk about the evil!' Later, Mr. Li's descendants were very developed, and people thought it was a reward for merit. However, at that time, some people did not believe in the causal reincarnation of Buddhism, and thought that there was no record of causal reincarnation in ordinary books. Mr. Li said to him,' Confucius praised Yi, which is also said in classical Chinese: if there is a good house, there will be many disasters. It can be seen that there are also causal reasons in Confucian books. Regarding samsara, there are also many ancient books in the history books, such as the gun is a yellow bear. Du Yu is a cuckoo. Gui: that is, dividing rules. Commonly known as cuckoo. Praise Wang Weilong, cattle as beasts, Peng Sheng as a jackal, Ruyi as a dog, Huang Mu as a turtle, Xuanwu as a turtle, Wargo as a cow, Xu Bo as a fish, a bird under the bell, a scholar as a snake, and Yang Hucheng was formerly Li Jiazi. Isn't this all proof of reincarnation? The man retorted,' If a man's back can degenerate into an animal, why can't a pine and cypress's back become an oak tree?' Mr. Li replied:' The ups and downs of reincarnation are all due to the heart. Plants such as pine and cypress have no heart. "How can they be confused with animals such as humans?" The man also asked the pros and cons of the three religions. Mr. Li said:' Buddhism is like the sun, Taoism is like the moon, and Confucianism is like the stars in the sky. Hearing this, the man felt very reasonable and could not help but be convinced. Mr. Li died at the age of 66. When the locals heard the bad news, they all cried and said,' Why don't we die? A good man like Mr. Li died!' Tens of thousands of people attended the funeral at that time.

Li Shiqian's filial piety to his mother

Li Shiqian, whose name is Zi Yue, was born in Pingji, Zhaojun ... He lost his father in his early years and was famous for his filial piety. Once his mother vomited. He suspected food poisoning, so he knelt on the ground and tasted the vomit. Li's uncle was appointed as the secretariat of Weizhou and deeply appreciated Li Shiqian's behavior. He often boasts: "This child is my Yan Hui!"

Li Shiqian is charitable.

In the Sui Dynasty, there was a devout monk named Li, who was a modest gentleman. He was very filial by nature and lost his father since childhood. After his mother died, after three years of mourning, he donated his private house to a temple and decided not to be an official. Mr. Li has never drunk a drop of wine or eaten a piece of meat in his life. His behavior is so correct that his mouth is clean. He never said anything about killing people. He inherited a large inheritance from his ancestors, so his family is very rich. However, his private life is more frugal than that of the poor. He wears old clothes, eats humble food and helps the poor all day. If there are people nearby who cannot be buried because of the funeral, he will send them coffins. If a brother has an argument because of the uneven distribution of wealth, he will give the money to the one who lacks it, so that his brothers will be ashamed and shirk their responsibilities, and they will all become good people.
