“Kamma (karma) is mysterious and immensely powerful.
Whether good or bad…
no one can escape the law of kamma.
If we could clearly see the good and bad actions
that we and others create—just as we see physical objects—
we would not dare to commit wrongdoing.
Instead, we would strive diligently
to do only good deeds,
to cultivate merit and virtue.
Greed and defilements in the mind
would gradually diminish,
as each person becomes mindful—
fearing unwholesome actions
and the suffering that follows.”

Luang Pu Plaeng Suntaro — A Warning to Prepare
“Volcanic eruptions, storms, floods, epidemics…”
A disciple asked Luang Pu Plaeng for permission to ask a question.
Disciple:
“Luang Pu, there have been many storms lately, including cyclones. Will there be even more in the future?”
Luang Pu Plaeng:
“There will be everything. It is the karma of people. That is why I say: volcanic eruptions, storms, floods, and then epidemics. All of these arise from the karma of people. Prepare yourselves.”
Disciple:
“Luang Pu, if we prepare ourselves, where should we go? What place would be safe? I have heard people say that we should flee to Khao Yai.”
Luang Pu Plaeng:
“Heyyy… wherever you go, you will still have to follow your karma. It depends on what happens. If we can remember ‘Buddho’ and stop [the cycle], then when the breath ends, there is nothing more to fear. If you can remember Buddho, you will go to heaven—so what is there to be afraid of?”
“His [the Buddha’s] teaching is for us to prepare ourselves by practicing Buddho, Buddho. If you can hold on to Buddho, that is already good. You will go to heaven.”
(Spoken in October 2018 / B.E. 2561)

The Venerable Master remarked:
“Hurry and practice meditation, because in the future many problems and various natural disasters will arise. People nowadays are very stubborn—they violate the precepts and go against the Dhamma.”
“业(因果)是深奥而且具有强大力量的。
无论是善业还是恶业……
没有任何人能够逃脱业的法则。
如果我们能够清楚看见
自己和他人所造的善恶之业,
就像看见眼前的事物一样——
我们就不敢再造恶,
反而会更加精进,
努力行善、积德,
不断培养善行与福报。
内心的贪欲与烦恼
也会逐渐减少,
因为人人都会谨慎自守,
畏惧造恶业,
也畏惧堕入痛苦的境界。”
文颂大长老
隆波Plaeng・苏塔罗尊者——警示我们要提前准备
“火山爆发、风暴、洪水、瘟疫……”
一位弟子恭敬地请求隆波蓬尊者允许自己请教一个问题。
弟子:
“隆普,最近发生了很多风暴,包括气旋。以后还会有更多吗?”
隆普Plaeng尊者:
“什么都会有。这是众人的业。因此我才说:火山爆发、风暴、洪水,然后还有瘟疫。这一切都是由众人的业所造成的。你们要做好准备。”
弟子:
“隆普,如果我们要做好准备,那应该去哪里?什么地方才安全?我听人家说,应该逃到考艾山(Khao Yai)去。”
隆普Plaeng尊者:
“哎呀……无论你走到哪里,最终还是要随着自己的业而走。究竟会发生什么,要看因缘。如果我们能够忆念‘佛陀(Buddho)’,并且止息〔生死轮回〕,那么当这一口气结束的时候,就没有什么好害怕的了。
如果你能够忆念 Buddho,你就会往生天界——那还有什么好害怕的呢?”
“佛陀的教导,就是要我们通过修习 Buddho、Buddho 来做好准备。如果你能够牢牢守住 Buddho,这已经很好了。你将往生天界。”

尊者再次开示:
“赶快修习禅定吧,因为将来会出现许多问题,以及各种各样的自然灾害。现在的人非常顽固——违犯戒律,也违背佛法。”
