The Curse of the Daughter-in-law

One person told this story:

Her mother-in-law fell ill, who was living in another city, and as there was no one to help,，her husband really hopedthat she could go and take care of his mother.

When her mother-in-law called,she answered,
“Mum, I’m sorry to hear you’re ill.but I broke my leg, and am in pain,so I cannot go and take care of you.

In fact, no such thing had happened; however, two months later.she really had a mysterious fall and broke her knee capand had to lie down at home.So how did this misfortune come about? Is it because of compassion? No, this is because of repaying kindness with ingratitude.

Because of you own narrow-mindedness, your heart will not be able to be compassionate; enlightenment is not possible,and any illnesses will increase instead of disappearing.

So you need to open your heart,and really use your compassion to love the world, love your mother-in-law, and love those people who are related to you.

【儿媳妇的咒语】
有一个人发生过这个事：

她婆婆病倒了， 病倒了之后，她们不在同一个城市，确实跟前没人伺候，儿子真的希望是这个儿媳妇啊，能过去伺候一下婆婆。

这个对方求救电话来了，儿媳妇说：
“妈，你病倒了？真对不起，我目前腿给摔坏了，
我正在腿痛，所以我也去不了伺候不了你。”

其实本来没这个事，两个月之后她真摔一跤，就莫名其妙摔一跤，把膝盖骨摔碎了，还真得躺在家里头。所以这个病怎么来的啊？是因慈悲而来吗？这是以怨报德。那是你自己心胸狭窄啊，你的大慈悲心永远是生不起来，你的觉悟是不可能，你的疾病不但不会好，还会增加。

所以你把心打开，真的能够用你的慈悲心去爱天下人，爱你的婆婆，爱和你有关系的这些人，想到他们的好处，你的心中啊，就是开始产生温暖的感觉，你从这一刹那开始，你的心、心脏周围就开始温暖了，就开始有能量了，你的正面的能量开始增强之后，你的负面能量就自动在减退，这是必然的，就是光明来了黑暗自然会退去的，你的疾病就好转了，乃至到痊愈了。
