A guilty official was sent into exile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over there, thanks to his merit, that land became prosperous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People came to settle down there, and elected him to be their King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then his mandarins harassed the people, betraying him, overthrew and then executed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before his death, he swore that he really wanted his people to live happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However due to his bad mandarins, he was unjust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If he was unjustly killed, he vowed to become a Demon to revenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was hung to death. Three days later, he really became a Demon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He looked for all the betraying mandarins, and killed them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He even wanted to kill other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good mandarin convinced him to stop killing, and elected him to be a King again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said, as a Demon, he needed to eat people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mandarins randomly selected a person for the Demon to eat, the first was a Buddhist boy preserving the five precepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boy\u2019s family cried towards Vulture Peak Mount mountain and bowed down to confess their past karmic sins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Buddha, with his supernatural eyes, saw all this suffering, told himself<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Thanks to this boy, I will save countless people.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He immediately flew to the door of the palace of the King, illuminating the indoors with Buddha’s halo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing the halo, the Demon suspected that’s an extraordinary man, so he came out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing the Buddha, the Demon immediately intended to jump to Buddha to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Buddha’s light shined into Demon’s eyes, Demon power dissipated, he became weaker and eventually surrendered Buddha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Demon invited Buddha to sit down on the throne, and he knelt under and prostrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buddha taught Dharma to the Demon, he listened carefully, understood, and believed, then committed to become a Buddhist preserving the five precepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time, an officer brought the boy to the Demon King to eat, followed by his whole family sadly crying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many other people were also very sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer gave the boy to the Demon King, the Demon King picked up the boy, then knelt down in front of Buddha and said :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This kid was selected by my people to give me for eating. Now I preserve the five precepts, so I make the decision not to eat him anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead I would like to give him to Buddha to use as a retainer. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buddha received the boy, then gave the blessing. The Demon was very happy and  attained Sotapatti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buddha put the boy into his bowl, bringing him out of the Palace to his home. Buddha told his parents “Please bring him up. Don’t be sad anymore.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing Buddha, everybody was very surprised, and wondered which God this was, which luck rescued the boy from being eaten by the Demon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Buddha, standing in the middle of the crowd, stated this poem :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Precepts is what one can rely on<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merit will follow us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding Dharma thoroughly to promote to higher realms<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting away from the three evil realms<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preserving the precepts keeps one free from suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attaining the three precious realms<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demons, Evil Spirits can never harm precept preservers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

====== IMPORTANT NOTES ==============================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demon harms people due to their bad karma<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One prostrates Buddha and confesses his sins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buddha emits his light to transform<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Triggering compassion from Demon, making him preserve the five precepts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The five precepts include not killing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of that, nobody is killed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore if one preserves the five precepts, not killing any beings anymore, often prostrates Buddha and confesses his sins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He cannot be killed by Covid-19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
